Thanks Mom! (from a few months ago)

MEMO FROM GOD

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD - The Boss!
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.

I love you.
GOD

P.S. And, remember....
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you can not handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself !! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

P.S.S.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day ,

God

I don't know if I've posted this b4 or not...


"Then Jesus took his disciples up on the mountain and gathered them around Him. And He taught them, saying:

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
Blessed are the meek,
Blessed are the merciful,
Blessed are you who thirst for justice,
Blessed are you who are persecuted,
Blessed are the peacemakers

And Simon Peter said, "Do we have to write this stuff down?"
And Philip said, "Will this be on the test?"
And John said, "I'm sorry. Would you mind repeating that?"
And Andrew said, "John the Baptist's disciples don't have to learn this stuff!"
And Matthew said, "Huh?"
And Judas said, "What does this have to do with real life?"

Then, one of the Pharisees, and expert in the law said, "I don't see any of this in your syllabus. Do you have a lesson plan? Is there a summary? Where is the student guide? Will there be any follow-up assignments? How will this affect the bell curve?"

And Thomas, who had missed the sermon, came to Jesus privately and said, "Did we do anything important yesterday?"

And Jesus wept."
I love this show!

You may think that you are safe there....

but....here is another post!

I know I havent updated in a while but just to be fair, not a lot of people have. Well, I really can't tell with Chris' blog cuz he made it private or something...what the heck Chris...anyway...today is Wednesday and I'll be moving back into Tommy More on Sunday. I'm really looking forward to seeing my buddies again but I hate the whole moving in and getting organized thing. I always end up forgetting where I put things anyway and the re-organize a week later.

Hmm, what else is going on. Oh! "Teeth" went amazingly wonderful! Both nights we had great crowds and they all seemed to love it! I swear I'm gonna have the songs and quotes in my head for a few months! Hopefully everything goes ok with the cds and dvds.

My brothers are already moved in and I already miss them. This is always an annoying time of year b/c they end up moving in a week b4 I do and I get bored easily. I dont know how people on quarters do it.

While typing that last sentence I heard my dog barking outside and realized that I didnt let him out. I guess he jumped through the front door screen (which was already ripped by him) and walked around the house. I found him in front of our neighbor's house and grabbed his collar. Whoa! Im still shaking....

Anyway, I guess thats it. Good luck to everyone starting their new school year, especially Chris. I hope everything is cool and you like your classes 'n' such. Just *relax* and you'll be fine.
