On a lighter side here are some things that wise people like me like to ponder:

2. Where do forest rangers go to "get away from it all"?
3. Why are cigarettes sold in gas stations when smoking is prohibited there?
4. If a cow laughed, would milk

[Good Won’t Get You There, Feda H. Babinski]
I’m standing there in front of gates like none I’ve ever found

I see the stairs that never end how brilliantly they glow
I start to climb and realize there’s nothing down below
Then

Many of you remember the struggles of the Viet Nam War. During that war, our troops would often set up “fire bases”. These were bases where troops & artillery would be placed. They were arranged in such a way that if one fire base was attacked, usually one or two other bases could provide

The alarming message is clear – church has become a PLACE where people meet for the PURPOSE of looking after their PERSONAL desires. It is ALL ABOUT ME. This is not what Jesus had in mind, nor is it really the Church. We are only the Church when we pay attention

I have heard that possums are smart animals. You wouldn’t think so because you hardly ever see one except when it’s dead on the road. There’s a joke that goes, “why did the chicken cross the road? To prove to the possum that it could be done!” But possums, it turns out, are smart. They won’t enter
