Things to learn from your pet

Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.
Allow the experience of fresh air & the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.
When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.
When it's in your best interests, always practice obedience.
Let others know when they've invaded your territory.
Take naps and always stretch before rising.
Run, romp and play daily.
Eat with gusto and enthusiasm.
Be loyal.
Never pretend to be something you are not.
If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.
When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle
them gently.
Delight in the simple joy of long walks.
Thrive on attention and let people touch you.
Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.
On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.
When you are happy, dance around and wag your entire body.
Now matter how often you are criticized, don't buy into the guilt
thing and pout.
Run right back and make friends.

How Ferrari can make their come back

Due to poor performance, the Ferrari formula 1 team recently fired
their whole pit crew to employ a few you guys from Soweto. This
sudden reaction was due to a documentary showing how young Sowetans
could take a car's tyres off within 6 seconds., without any fancy
equipment. Ferrari soon regretted their decision however. The young
men not only changed the tyres in 6 seconds but 12 seconds later the
car had been re-sprayed and sold to the MaClaren team.

Since they no longer had a formula one car to race, Ferrari still
eager to innovate, decided to race a Sowetan minibus complete with an
experienced (yet unlicenced) driver and fare collector, in the Grand
prix. Of course they easily won the championship, since the minibus
weaved its way through the start grid, set off before the lights
changed and didn't bother to change the tyres when they wore out. On
the way to the victory, the new Ama-Ferrari team also managed to
hijack several competitors cars, and pick up 35 passengers at some
notoriously dangerous spots, including blind rises and in the chicane.

Go Ferrari!

The moral of the Story...

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town.
The boy rode on the donkey & the old man walked.
As they went along they passed some people
Who remarked it was a shame the old man
Was walking and the boy was riding.

The man and boy thought maybe the critics were right,
So they changed positions.

Then, later, they passed some people who remarked,
'What a shame, he makes that little boy walk.'

So they then decided they'd both walk!
Soon they passed some more people who thought
They were stupid to walk when they had a
Decent donkey to ride.
So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people
Who shamed them by saying how awful to
Put such a load on a poor donkey.
The boy and man figured they were probably right,
So they decide to carry the donkey.  

As they crossed the bridge,
They lost their grip on the animal
And he fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story?
If you try to please everyone,
You might as well...
Kiss your ass goodbye!

The birth the life the risen Lord

His birth his life
He came to share
Yet some would say

He wasn't there

How can we know
The anguish of
A forsaken Lord
Hanging on that cross

Can we ignore
The price he paid
As his life
On Calvary laid

It wasn't over
The best to come
The risen Lord
Forever won!

A Poem for couples - by Barbara Anderson

Enjoy the good times

Stand together through the bad times

Gives hugs and kisses freely

At all times

Set God as your true North

And the Holy Spirit as your compass

That way you’ll never get lost

Or wonder what dreams have passed

May your love be the wind

That lifts your sails and sets you free

Free from the past

Living together in joy at last

May love be the fire

That stirs your hearts desire

And may God grant you peace

So that your connection will never cease
