God Enjoys A Good Laugh!

Once again readers another friend of mine sent me this light hearted read that I thought you all would enjoy sharing.

GOD ENJOYS A GOOD LAUGH!   There were 3 good arguments that Jesus was Black:   1. He called everyone brother   2. He liked Gospel    3. He didn't get a fair trial   But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish:    1. He went into His Father's business   2. He lived at home until he was 33   3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God   But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian:    1. He talked with His hands   2. He had wine with His meals   3. He used olive oil   But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian:    1. He never cut His hair   2. He walked around barefoot all the time   3. He started a new religion   But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian:   1. He was at peace with nature   2. He ate a lot of fish   3. He talked about the Great Spirit   But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish:   1. He never got married..   2. He was always telling stories.   3. He loved green pastures.   But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman:   1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was virtually no food   2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it   3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do     Can I get an AMEN ???

Peace & Blessings

Happy Sunshine & April Showers

Last week so many of you contacted me to declare that keeping our heads in the clouds may help temporarily in taking our minds off difficult life situations. However when seeking relaxation and rejuvenation water is our most calming remedy.

For those of us who are reflecting on the deeper questions of life while spending time near water please consider that water comes from the clouds.


Still being immersed in water soothes the mind, body and spirit. Thank you all for that reminder.

In any case (clouds and/or water) I wish you all peace and blessings in your most life affirming choice of contemplation.

Happy Sunshine & April Showers!

FROM 40 DAYS OF LENT TO EASTER

Greetings Supporters,

Several of us started out weeks ago sacrificing at least one of our regular temptations for lent.    Some of us may feel we did battle with the devil himself to abstain from the vices we chose to forego at this time of year.  Others may feel that a burden has been lifted in our lives by  having refused to succumb to something we felt was a vice that we could not live without.

No matter how we believe we fared there has been growth for us all.    We have reached the end of our lent journey together and the experience has bestowed many blessings on us all.

Please take this time to reflect and count them.



  HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

In Celebration of Women's History Month

"If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back, and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them." - Sojourner Truth, Aint I a Woman?

Turn the World Upside Down?. . . .

Wow!  Did we do that? 

And Turn it Back, and Get It Right Side Up Again!?

Well it's the end of Women's History Month.    Everyone think of the women in your life who have turned your world upside down for both good and evil, for pleasure and pain.  Share!

Everyone ----- Your Thoughts please!

The Moral of the Story

This week a friend sent me this little fable.  I thought it would give you all a chuckle.  And uplift all of our spirits with regard to growing older, wiser and more mature.

An old German Shepherd starts chasing rabbits and before long, discovers that he's lost. Wandering about, he notices a panther heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old German Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep shit now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the panther is about to leap, the old German Shepherd exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious panther! I wonder, if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the young panther halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees. "Whew!," says the panther, "That was close! That old German Shepherd nearly had me!" Meanwhile, a squirrel who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the panther. So, off he goes. The squirrel soon catches up with the panther, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the panther. The young panther is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, squirrel, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!" Now, the old German Shepherd sees the panther coming with the squirrel on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?," but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old German Shepherd says...   "Where's that squirrel? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another panther!"   Moral of this story...   Don't mess with the old dogs... Age and skill will always overcome youth and treachery! B.S. and brilliance only come with age and experience.   If you don't send this to five 'old' friends right away, there will be five fewer people laughing in the world.   Of course, I am in no way insinuating that you are old, just 'youthfully challenged'.   You did notice the size of the print, didn't you?
