[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]True story. There was a little girl who went with her dad on a fishing trip. A friend had a pond and had let them fish there but asked that they never tell anybody about the permission for this private pond. They were in a hardware store that was a hang out for the local guys. They had caught a lot of nice fish and were proud of the catch. Showing off to the others the question of where they fished at came up. Her dad would not say. Some of the men decided they would be smart and take advantage of the little girl and ask her where she caught those fish. She said, "In the mouth".[/FONT]

The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify most of these items.

A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, jackasses, and pigs, the wife asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the husband replied, "in-laws."
"Yep," the husband replied, "in-laws."

Lol that was awesome
However, one of my female friends and I call each other gorgeous, sexy, and beautiful rather than our first names. In fact the only time we call each other by our first name is when we are having a serious talk or arguing about something haha
As far as men going to bed as good looking as when they wake up I'm not so sure on, I think men are better looking when they are sound asleep and first waking up, it just means they are staying out of trouble
My guy loves saving money, I went to go to lunch with one of his coworkers who happens to be a friend of mine and while I was waiting for her to be ready my guy and I started challenging each other to see who can save the most during a shopping trip to where one of his male co-workers had to join in and offered to make up a shopping list for us...go figure lol

Never be envious of the celebrities you see in the media who have fame / fortunate. For many of them lack what's most important to have in ones life which is God. For you have more richies than they can ever imagine having with God in your life. For many of them this temporary fallen world is the only heaven they will ever see.

The people who did the attacking and misrepresenting are still posting also. Not much any one person can do to make others be honest. There is just no getting through to some people. We must leave it in the capable hands of the Holy Spirit of God Happy Wednesday!!!
The 28th was the One Year Anniversary of the day I was struck down physically......sigh......not sure worthy of celebration....
However, there has been ONE GOAL (other than being able to stand up and walk upright) that I set for myself many months ago, and that was that ONE DAY I was going to go fishing again!
Well............praise God........yesterday was a beautiful, warm, sunny day, and my pain level was around 5 to 6 (not bad for me) and while I knew I would not be able to stay long.......
I got just one of my rod 'n' reels, a small bag of tackle, a bucket and a towel.........chair......bought some night crawlers.....
AND WENT TO THE LAKE!
I actually managed to stay there for about two and a half hours before the pain insisted that I load up and get the heck back home and take a PAIN PILL....................NEED MEDS...........NEED 'EM NOW!
As for the fishing............the first hour and a half it was very slow..........few bites........all bait stealers........but the last hour the Blue Gill and Bream started hitting. I got one Blue Gill that was 8 inches long and about an inch wider than the width of my hand........and one BREAM that was 10 inches head to tail and 7 inches back bone to belly! That dude fought!
Shortly after those two great catches.......I had to pack it in.......sigh........but it was a true blessing!
I am feeling it this morning.........and don't even care..........now, I know that if everything lines up..........I can go fishing again!
Thank you Jesus

KIDS IN CHURCH
3-year-old Reese:
'Our Father, Who does art in heaven,
Harold is His name.
Amen.'
A little boy was overheard praying:
'Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am.'
After the christening of his baby brother in church,
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car.
His father asked him three times what was wrong.
Finally, the boy replied,
'That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home,
and I wanted to stay with you guys.'
One particular four-year-old prayed,
'And forgive us our trash baskets
as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.'
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they were on the way to church service,
'And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?'
One bright little girl replied,
'Because people are sleeping.'
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5,
and Ryan 3.
The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake.
Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson.
'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say,
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.'
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said,
'Ryan, you be Jesus!'
A father was at the beach with his children
when the four-year-old son ran up to him,
grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore
where a seagull lay dead in the sand.
'Daddy, what happened to him?' the son asked.
'He died and went to Heaven,' the Dad replied.
The boy thought a moment and then said,
'Did God throw him back down?'
A wife invited some people to dinner.
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said,
'Would you like to say the blessing?'
'I wouldn't know what to say,' the girl replied.
'Just say what you hear Mommy say,' the wife answered.
The daughter bowed her head and said,
'Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?'
