Ramblings...

26 Beautiful One-liners

Shared by Luanne, FL

1. Give God what's right -- not what's left.

2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end -- God's way leads to an endless hope.

3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.

4. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.

5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma--but never let him be the period.

6. Don't put a question mark where God puts a period.

7. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come to the church for a face-lift.

8. When praying, don't give God instructions - just report for duty.

9. Don't wait for six strong men to take you to church.

10. We don't change God's message -- His message changes us.

11. The church is prayer-conditioned.

12. When God ordains, He sustains.

13. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.

14. Plan ahead -- It wasn't raining when Noah built the ark.

15. Most people want to serve God, but only in an advisory position.

16. Suffering from truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.

17. Exercise daily -- walk with the Lord.

18. Never give the devil a ride -- he will always want to drive.

19. Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it.

20. Compassion is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.

21. He who angers you controls you.

22. Worry is the darkroom in which negatives can develop.

23. Give Satan an inch & he'll be a ruler.

24. Be ye fishers of men -- you catch them & He'll clean them.

25. God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.

26. Read the Bible -- It will scare the hell out of you.

Now take 60 seconds and give this a shot! Let's just see if Satan stops this one. All you do is:

1. Simply say a small prayer for the person who sent you this, e.g.

LORD, God, bless this person in whatever it is that You know he or she may be needing this day....)

2. Then forward to five relatives/friends. Within hours five people would have prayed for you, and you would have caused a multitude of people to pray to God for other people.

Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life for doing the thing that you know He loves.

What we do in life echoes in eternity....

Tomatoes Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk

Shared by Lynn, Montreal, Quebec,Canada

Men can significantly reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer by eating tomatoes or tomato-based foods a couple of times a week, according to results of a recent study of nearly 48,000 men. The health benefits of tomatoes are attributed to their high levels of the antioxidant lycopene. Results of this study found that men who consumed 18,780 micrograms (mg) of lycopene each day were 16% less likely to develop prostate cancer than men who consumed just 3,415 mg of the antioxidant. However, it isn't just fresh tomatoes that deliver the benefits of lycopene, as men who ate two or more servings of tomato sauce each week were found to be 23% less likely to develop the disease, compared with men who ate ketchup once a month or less. Study leader Dr. Edward Giovannucci, recommends that men should increase their intake of fresh tomatoes and tomato-based foods instead of opting for lycopene dietary supplements.

Crazy Corner...

LITTLE WHITE LIES

Shared by Maxine, PA and FL

Have you ever told a white lie? You are going to love this -- especially all the ladies who bake for church events.

Alice was to bake a cake for the church ladies' group bake sale, but she forgot to do it until the last minute. She baked an angel food cake and when she took it from the oven, the center had dropped flat.

She said, "Oh dear, there's no time to bake another cake." So, she looked around the house for something to build up the center of the cake. Alice found it in the bathroom ... a roll of toilet paper. She plunked it in and covered it with icing. The finished product looked beautiful, so she rushed it to the church.

Before she left the house, Alice had given her daughter some money and specific instructions to be at the bake sale the minute it opened, and to buy that cake and bring it home. When the daughter arrived at the sale, the attractive cake had already been sold. Alice was beside herself.

The next day, Alice was invited to a friend's home where two tables of bridge were to be played that afternoon. After the game, a fancy lunch was served, and to top it off, the cake in question was presented for dessert. Alice saw the cake, she started to get out of her chair to rush into the kitchen to tell her hostess all about it, but before she could get to her feet, one of the other ladies said, "What a beautiful cake!"

Alice sat back in her chair when she heard the hostess (who was a prominent church member) say ."Thank you, I baked it myself."



Short Story

Shared by Julie, Bradenton, FL

A college class was told they had to write a short story in as few words as possible. The short story had to contain the following three things:

(1) Religion (2) Sexuality (3) Mystery

There was only one A+ paper in the entire class. Below is the A+ short story:

Good God, I'm pregnant. I wonder who did it?



Mix and Match Don'ts

Shared by Joyce, KC

Many of us are quite confused about how we should present ourselves. We're unsure about the kind of image we are projecting and whether or not we are correct as we try to be nice and conform to the fashions that the designers in NYC, California, and/or Paris inflict upon the world.

So I made a sincere study of the situation and here are the results.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but despite what you may have seen on the streets, the following combinations DO NOT go together and thus should be avoided:

1. A nose ring and bifocals

2. Spiked hair and bald spots

3. A pierced tongue and dentures

4. Miniskirts and support hose

5. Ankle bracelets and corn pads

6. Speedo's and cellulite

7. A belly button ring and a gall bladder surgery scar

8. Unbuttoned disco shirts and a heart monitor

9. Midriff shirts and a midriff bulge

10. Bikinis and liver spots

11. Short shorts and varicose veins

12. In-line skates and a walker

13. Thongs and Depends

Please keep these basic guidelines foremost in your mind when shopping.
