    A brick and a block were walking down a road when a piece of concrete jumped up and made a funny face, screamed and ran off. The brick asked the block, “what’s up with him?” The block replied, don’t pay him no mind, he is a “cycle path.”

    This Advent, try to spend more time and effort and even money in preparing yourself and helping others to welcome the Lord at Christmas than you spend on presents.

He reported, “He was in a state that I didn’t think was dignified – I had to put him out of his misery.” He ...read more
