WIT & WISDOM - September 22, 1998 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: It's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts. [1] ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: MAY YOU HAVE . . . Enough happiness to keep you sweet Enough trials to keep you strong Enough sorrow to keep you human Enough hope to keep you happy Enough failure to keep you humble Enough success to keep you eager Enough friends to give you comfort Enough wealth to meet your needs Enough enthusiasm to look forward Enough faith to banish depression Enough determination to make each day better than yesterday. - Author Unknown [2] ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: This puzzle was written by a lady in California in response to an offer from a gentleman in Philadelphia that he would pay anyone $1000 who would write a puzzle he could not solve. He failed to do so and paid the $1000. The answer is two words and it appears only 1 time in the Bible (NIV). Adam, God made out of dust but thought it best to make me first so I was made before man to answer God's most holy plan A living being I became and Adam gave to me my name I from his presence then withdrew and more of Adam never knew I did my makers law obey nor ever went from it astray Thousands of miles I go in fear But seldom on Earth appear for purpose wise that God did see He put a living soul in me A soul from me God did claim and took from me the soul again so when from me the soul had fled I was the same as when first made and without hands, or feet, or soul I travel on from pole to pole I labor hard by day, by night to fallen man I give great light Thousands of people, young and old will by my death, great light behold no right or wrong can I conceive the scripture I cannot believe Although my name therein is found they are to me an empty sound no fear of death doth trouble me real happiness I'll never see to heaven I shall never go or to hell below now when the lines you slowly read to search your Bible with all speed for that my name is written there I do honestly declare. Who am I? . . . (Answer is shown after today's trivia.) [3] ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: I heard about a lady who was speeding and an officer pulled her to the side of the road. She didn't have her seat belt on so as soon as she stopped, she quickly slipped it on before the officer got to her window. After talking to her about speeding, the officer said, "I see you are wearing your seat belt. Do you believe in wearing it at all times?" "Yes, I do, officer," she replied. "Well," asked the officer, "do you always do it up with it looped through your steering wheel?" [4] ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: HOME: (Not all of these have personally been tested) Baseball caps should be washed in the dishwasher, not the washing machine because the agitation spoils their shape. The inexpensive ones were make to be discarded. Measure the distance between thumb and little finger when your hand is spread wide. Use this number to judge length when a tape isn't handy. Minimize a scratch in wood furniture by rubbing into it some paste shoe polish of an appropriate color. Children learn quicker when they are praised for good behavior rather than scolded and punished for doing wring. Help them build confidence in themselves with adult support, approval, and rewards. A nap of 10-20 minutes refreshes; longer than that it's a struggle to pick up your energy. [5] Who am I? . . . Great Fish. Jonah 1:17 ~~~~~~~ CONTRIBUTORS: [1] (Daily Humor (http://www.findmail.com/list/dailyhumor) [2] (The Funnies Andychap@aol.com) [3] (Larry Reed) [4] (Encounter Weekly http://www.gospelcom.net/actsi/weekly/) [5] (Larry Reed) |
