June 7
~Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.
'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!'
Did you know that a glass of hippopotamus milk contains eighty calories, or that only five percent of people are able to dream in color?
- I got a check marked "Insufficient Funds" back from my bank ... in these uncertain economic times, I had to call and ask if they were talking about themselves or me.
- If I melted a whole lot of dry ice, could I swim in it and not get wet?
- One of my favorite bookstores went out of business. The owner posted a sign on his door that read, "Words failed me."
- Somebody once asked me how many books I've read in my lifetime. I don't know. I'm not dead, yet.
- My Dad once bought me a really cheap dictionary. I couldn't find the words to thank him.
- Knowledge is power, but it still won't run my appliances.
- There are three types of furniture: Antique, modern, and comfortable.
- I think I know why cows always look so sad. They've finally figured out they are actually TWO of the four food groups.
- I walked three miles this morning. But only because I forgot where I parked.
- An apple a day may keep the doctor away, but an onion a day keeps *everybody* away.
A Texas rancher and his wife were arguing while touring Paris. They were hardly speaking to each other after being seated in a fancy French restaurant for dinner.
When the waiter arrived, the rancher said," I'll have a BIG THICK PORTERHOUSE STEAK." The waiter replied,"Monsieur, what about Ze Mad Cow?" He said, "She'll
have a salad."
The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what one has to do.
I think I began learning long ago that those who are happiest are those who do the most for others. Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)
To avoid criticism do nothing, say nothing, be nothing. - Elbert Hubbard
I am reading a very interesting book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down.

You inhale 438 cubic feet of air,
You eat 3/4 pounds of food,
You drink 2.9 quarts of liquids,

You move 750 muscles,
Your nails grow .000046 inch,
Your hair grows .01714 inch,
You exercise 7,000,000 brain cells.... Do you feel tired?
