Something to thank about

A Church-goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this... They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"

God's will is a lot like dancing.

When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn't flow with the music, and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.

When one person realizes the dance and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music.

One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back, or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It's as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness, and attentiveness from one person, and gentle guidance and skill from the other.

GUIDANCE. When I saw "G," I thought of God, followed by "u" and "i."

God, "u" and "i" dance!

God, you, and I dance.

This statement is what guidance means to me.

Become willing to trust that you will get guidance about your life.

Become willing to let God lead.

Dance together with God, trusting God to lead and to guide you through each day of your life.

PRAYER Dear God, if I may be walking through fields that are rough with grief and care,
may I have the courage to continue on to the smooth pastures, where I may walk with comfort and peace.
May I not let the weariness that may come to my me dwarf my hope and enjoyment of the future. Amen.

AFFIRMATION: I expect a miracle!!!

FOR ALL OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY WHO HAVE BEEN ASKING ABOUT MY DOG.

Please be advised I am tired of receiving questions about my dog who mauled 3 Muslims sitting on a rug near our neighborhood tennis court,
6 illegals wearing Obama t-shirts, 4 passersby wearing Pelosi t-shirts, 2 rappers,
a phone operator living in our neighborhood who asks callers to press #1 for English,
9 teenagers with their pants hanging down past their cracks,
a customer service desk person speaking in broken English,
10 flag burners, and a Pakistani taxi driver.

FOR THE LAST TIME........

THE DOG IS NOT FOR SALE !!!

The Patriot Micro Chip

THE PATRIOT MICRO CHIP is intended to be implanted in terrorists.

The implant is specifically designed to be installed in the forehead. When properly installed it will allow the implantee to speak to (their) God.

(And, when properly installed it will allow the implantee to see their beloved virgins living in hell!)

The chip comes in many sizes suitable for the terrorists in question:

http://i56.tinypic.com/11tbgjm.jpg

The exact size of the implant will be selected by a well-trained and highly-skilled technician.

The implant may or may not be painless. Side effects, like headaches and nausea, are temporary. Some bleeding or swelling may occur at the injection site.
Please enjoy the security we provide for you.

Best regards,

The U.S. Marine Corps
