A Little "HOLY" Humour!

LOT'S WIFE; The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot 's wife looked back And turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, 'My Mommy looked back once while she was driving,' he announced triumphantly, 'and she turned into a telephone pole!'

GOOD SAMARITAN
A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good Samaritan. She asked the class, 'If you saw a person lying on the roadside, all wounded and bleeding, what would you do?' A thoughtful Little girl broke the hushed silence, 'I think I'd throw up.'

DID NOAH FISH?
A Sunday school teacher asked, 'Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?' 'No,' replied Johnny. 'How could he, with just two worms.'

HIGHER POWER
A Sunday school teacher said to her children, 'We have been learning how powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a Higher Power. Can anybody tell me what it is?' One child blurted out, 'Aces!'

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need to know."

BEING THANKFUL
A Rabbi said to a precocious six-year-old boy, 'So your mother says your prayers for you each night? That's very commendable. What does she say?' The little boy replied, 'Thank God he's in bed!'

TIME TO PRAY
A pastor asked a little boy if he said his prayers every night. 'Yes, Sir,' the boy replied. 'And, do you always say them in the morning, too?' the pastor asked. 'No sir,' the boy replied. 'I ain't scared in the daytime.'

SAY A PRAYER
Little Ricky and his family were having Sunday dinner at his Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the food was being served. When Little Ricky received his plate, he started eating right away. 'Ricky! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother. 'I don't need to,' the boy replied.. 'Of course, you do,' his mother insisted. 'We always say a prayer before eating at our house.' 'That's at our house,' Ricky explained. 'But this is Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!

Perfect Teeth

Well, K finally had his tooth braces removed after nearly 3 years! Now he has to wear retainers for life, as apparently the teeth can shift. The orthodontist seemed proud of his work (like art or sculpture, I imagine) and a perfect set of teeth it is too!

PJ has the funniest post, I think it's a wonderful tribute to Middle Age, do check it out!

Creative Tuesdays - Pure Imagination

Here's my contribution to Creative Tuesdays' Pure Imagination theme. I loved the 'freeness' of this theme but had trouble 'letting myself go' when it came down to it! So what can I say, I decided to do a Supernova star theme, what could be more magical than that?

I used purple construction paper and oil pastels.

Quite Wondrous

I walked to church on the weekend. The birds are out in full force, flying from tree to tree. It's really quite wondrous if you take a moment to observe them on a clear day. Church was crowded as they were doing a batch of First Communions. Some of the little girls looked adorable in their fancy white dresses.

M's great nephew was Baptized on Sunday. M's niece and her husband hosted everyone at a nice restaurant afterward. We had a lovely time getting together with the extended family and their friends.

The kids love getting together with their cousins. They were seated at a table by themselves, separate from the older adults. One of the cousins told K to watch out for when his sister goes off to university. He will become the centre of attention of both parents and he knew he couldn't stand it. True enough, although I don't see how K could possibly get more attention than he already does!

Another cousin came with yet another boyfriend in tow. She turns 30 next month so we are all wondering if this will be the lucky guy. There have been a string of boyfriends since she was about 16 and we get confused trying to remember them, except to say that they were all very nice.

What to Do Before You Lose Your Cell Phone

The Telemarketer

The other night L answered the telephone. It was a telemarketer, of course. He asks 'may I speak to Christine?' L responded 'is this a promotion?' The gentleman asks 'is this Christine?' Unfazed, L asks 'is this a promotion?' To her surprise, the man started laughing and admitted that yes, it was a promotion. She answered politely 'I'm sorry, we're not interested!' before hanging up the phone. We thought the whole incident was a bit funny, no disrespect intended!

L is keeping herself very busy as usual and I'm bugging her to please accept her university of choice THIS WEEKEND (wishful thinking?). The deadline is May 28, however one can't (shouldn't) wait until the last minute.

Chocolate Math

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

Don't tell me your age;
you'd probably lie anyway-but the Hershey Man will know!

YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH

This is pretty neat.
DON'T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read
Be sure you don't read the bottom until you've worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it's fun.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)

3. Add 5

4. Multiply it by 50 -- I'll wait while you get the calculator

5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1760 ..
If you haven't, add 1759..

6... Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.


You should have a three digit number

The first digit of this was your original number
(i.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).

The next two numbers are



YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)


THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2010) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.
