Woo Hooooo! TGIF and Happy Easter everyone!! Time for another FRIDAY SILLINESS THREAD! As always, feel free to post jokes, silly pics, nonsensical statements, or even to IGNORE THIS THREAD!
"Happy Easter!"
"Arrrgh, silliness!" 
"Ahhh, Friday!"

Yes! Yes! All of you are so talented...I feel like a novice...what am I talking about...I AM a novice!
Why should Christians mourn on Good Friday when it is the celebration of God's extravagant and overwhelming love for us? It is the rest of the year that we should mourn and weep, repent, and confess our sin. Good Friday is when God, in the ultimate act of love, died for us so that we can live eternally with him. When Jesus said "It is finished" we were saved! That is, if we accept His death on the cross for our sins. What love! What power! What passion!
If God allows Terri Schiavo to die, is that not the ultimate healing for her? Bear in mind, I am just as furious and devastated over this tragedy and judicial tyranny as you are. But is God not sovereign? Could He not change the hearts of the judges and her husband? Of course! He hardened the heart of Pharoah not to let the Israelites go so that His deliverance would seal the hearts of His people to Him forever.
We have to have an eternal vision, and know that all things work for the good of those who love God and are the called according to His purpose. Do you think that her death will be for nothing? If it is God's will that she die on this earth, this earth will never be the same. He will not let her death be for nothing. Be comforted.
You may have a point, thankfully your hair covers it.
Ah, my reputation preceeds me.
Which is a really good thing, because the reputation I leave behind me peels paint of the walls, kills roses, and flattens tires.
Shalom.
Thank goodness.

LOL Now everyone in the office knows I am nuts. I Laughed Out Loud and they heard me. Thankfully, I had just finished my drink or you would owe me a keyboard AND monitor.
Hey, I know those guys.
It is a day for each to observe, in the presence of G-d, in the manner he sees fit.
Those who don't think there should be silliness can skip the thread.
I know G-d appreciates silliness, although I can understand why some would think today is not the day. How do I know G-d appreciates silliness? Well, I imagine Michael the Archangel talking with G-d about His new creation, especially the two humans. "What are they gonna do now?" Michael asks. "I told them to fill the earth," is the Big Guy's reply. "How will they do that?" the angel wonders.
G-d gets a gleem in his eye and says "Wait until I tell you what they'll have to do."
Shalom.
A young preacher moves to a new town and decides to look around. So he hops on his bicycle. While riding he comes across a young boy who is selling his lawn mower. The preachers stops to talk to him and says "Hi, I'm the new preacher in town and I sure could use a lawn mower but, I don't have any money right now. If you would like, I could trade you this bicycle for it." The boy brightens and says "I was selling this lawnmower so I could buy a bike! Sure!!"
A little later in the day, the preacher has the lawn mower out and tries to start it. He pulls and pulls and pulls on the cord, but nothing happens. Just then, the boy rides by on his bicycle. "I'm having an awful time starting this thing, how do you start it?" he yells after the boy. The boy stops and says "Well, sir, you've got to give it a good cussing before it will start." The Preacher responds "Son, I'm a man of God, I don't curse. In fact, its been so long I don't think I can even remember how to." The boy replies "You keep pulling on that cord and you will, soon enough."
SMILING....:} He did forget that we all do have to answer to God at the end of the day.
A man walks into a drug store and asks the Pharmacist for a package of condoms.
The Pharmacists rings up the order and says. "That will be four dollars plus tax."
"Tax? I thought that they stayed on by themselves."
As they were living the ski resort the brakes on the car failed. The driver managed to get the car under control and plow into a snow bank on the side of the road without hurting anyone. The three men got out of the car and started looking at it.
The marketing guy said, "You know what, we could sell this as a thrill ride. That brake failure is a feature that will make us a bunch of money."
The engineer says, "I think I know what's wrong. If anyone has a safety pin I can get these brakes working again and get us down the mountain."
The software developer says, "I think that before you do anything we should push this thing back up the mountain and see if it happens again."
Shalom.
I´m sorry, but I don´t understand that someone starts a "silliness thread" on this dayBecause it's Friday. That's what we do around here on Friday. Its as much a part of FR as the ABC (Anna-Britney-Coulter) Rule.
Which, if I'm gunna mention, I better follow: >:)
