THE LORDS PRAYER
Rather cleverly done.
This is in two
parts, the prayer (in
blue type) and
GOD ( in red type)
in response.
It is very, very good.
*******************************************************
Our Father Who Art In Heaven.
Yes?
Don't interrupt me. I'm praying.
But -- you called ME!
Called you?
No, I didn't call you.
I'm praying.
Our Father who art in Heaven.
There -- you did it again!
Did what?
Called ME.
You said,
"Our Father who art in Heaven"
Well! , here I am.
What's on your mind?
But I didn't mean anything by it.
I was, you know, just saying my prayers for the day.
I always say the Lord's Prayer.
It makes me feel good,
kind of like fulfilling a duty.
Well, all right.
Go on.
Okay, Hallowed be thy name . .
Hold it right there.
What do you mean by that?
By what?
By "Hallowed be thy name"?
It means, it means . . good grief,
I don't know what it means.
How in the world should I know?
It's just a part of the prayer.
By the way, what does it mean?
It means honored, holy, wonderful.
Hey, that makes sense.
I never thought about what 'hallowed' meant before.
Thanks.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Do you really mean that?
Sure, why not?
What are you doing about it?
Doing? Why, nothing, I guess.
I just think it would be kind of neat if you got control,
of everything down here like you have up there.
We're kinda in a mess down here you know.
Yes, I know;
but, have I got control of you?
Well, I go to church.
That isn't what I asked you.
What about your bad temper?
You've really got a problem there, you know.
And then there's the way you spend your money --
all on yourself.
And what about the kind of books you read?
Now hold on just a minute!
Stop picking on me!
I'm just as good as some of the rest of those people at church!
Excuse ME.
I thought you were praying
for my will to be done.
If that is to happen,
it will have to start with the ones
who are praying for it.
Like you -- for example.
Oh, all right. I guess I do have some
hang-ups.
Now that you mention it,
I could probably name some others.
So could I.
I haven't thought about it very much
until now,
but I really would like to cut out some of those things.
I would like to, you know, be really free.
Good.
Now we're getting somewhere. We'll work together -- You and ME.
I'm proud of You.
Look, Lord, if you don't mind,
I need to finish up here.
This is taking a lot longer than it usually does.
Give us this day, our daily bread.
You need to cut out the bread.
You're overweight as it is.
Hey, wait a minute! What is this?
Here I was doing my religious duty,
and all of a sudden you break in
and remind me of all my hang-ups.
Praying is a dangerous thing.
You just might get what you ask for.
Remember,
you called ME -- and here I am.
It's too late to stop now.
Keep praying. ( . . . pause . . )
Well, go on.
I'm scared to.
Scared? Of what?
I know what you'll say.
Try ME.
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those
who sin against us.
What about Ann?
See? I knew it!
I knew you would bring her up!
Why, Lord, she's told lies about me, spread stories.
She never paid back the money she owes me.
I've sworn to get even with her!
But -- your prayer --
What about your prayer?
I didn't -- mean it.
Well, at least you're honest.
But, it's quite a load carrying around all that bitterness
and resentment isn't it?
Yes, but I'll feel better as soon as I
get even with her.
Boy, have I got some plans for her.
She'll wish she had never been born.
No, you won't feel any better.
You'll feel worse.
Revenge isn't sweet.
You know how unhappy you are --
Well, I can change that.
You can? How?
Forgive Ann.
Then, I'll forgive you;
And the hate and the sin,
will be Ann's problem -- not yours.
You will have settled the problem
as far as you are concerned.
Oh, you know, you're right.
You always are.
And more than I want revenge,
I want to be right with You . . (sigh).
All right . all right . .
I forgive her.
There now!
Wonderful!
How do you feel?
Hmmmm. Well, not bad.
Not bad at all!
In fact, I feel pretty great! You know, I don't think I'll go to bed uptight
tonight.
I haven't been getting much rest, you know.
Yeah, I know.
But, you're not through with your prayer are you? Go on.
Oh, all right.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Good! Good! I'll do that.
Just don't put yourself in a place
where you can be tempted.
What do you mean by that?
You know what I mean.
Yeah. I know.
Okay.
Go ahead. Finish your prayer.
For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory forever.
Amen.
Do you know what would bring me glory --
What would really make me happy?
No, but I'd like to know.
I want to please you now.
I've really made a mess of things.
I want to truly follow you.
I can see now how great that would be.
So, tell me . . .
How do I make you happy?
YOU just did

Handy Cures
Shared by Helen H., Fort Myers, FL
1. Drinking two glasses of Gatorade can relieve headache pain almost
immediately -- without the unpleasant side effects caused by traditional
"pain relievers."
2. Did you know that Colgate toothpaste makes an excellent salve for
burns?
3. Before you head to the drugstore for a high-priced inhaler filled
with mysterious chemicals, try chewing on a couple of curiously strong
Altoids peppermints. They'll clear up your stuffed nose.
4. Achy muscles from a bout of the flu? Mix 1 Tablespoon of horseradish
in cup of olive oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, then apply it as
a massage oil, for instant relief for aching muscles.
5. Sore Throat? Just mix 1/4 cup of vinegar with 1/4 cup of honey and
take 1 tablespoon six times a day. The vinegar kills the bacteria.
6. Cure urinary tract infections with Alka-Seltzer. Just dissolve two
tablets in a glass of water and drink it at the onset of the symptoms.
Alka-Seltzer begins eliminating urinary tract infections almost
instantly even though the product was never advertised for this use.
7. Eliminate puffiness under your eyes..... All you need is a dab of
preparation H, carefully rubbed into the skin, avoiding the eyes. The
hemorrhoid ointment acts as a vasoconstrictor, relieving the swelling
instantly.
8. Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of
honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the
skin sterile, and speeds healing. Works overnight.
9. Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of unsightly toenail
fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful
antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
10. Easy eyeglass protection... To prevent the screws in eyeglasses
from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail
polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.
11. Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers.
Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain.
The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.
12. Cleaning liquid that doubles as bug killer... If menacing bees,
wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets get in your home and you can't find the
insecticide, try a spray of Formula 409. Insects drop to the ground
instantly.
13. Smart splinter remover... just pour a drop of Elmer's Glue all over
the splinter, let dry, and peel the dried glue off the skin. The splinter
sticks to the dried glue.
14. Hunt's tomato paste boil cure... cover the boil with Hunt's tomato
paste as a compress. The acids from the tomatoes soothe the pain and
bring the boil to a head.
15. Balm for broken blisters... To disinfect a broken blister, dab on a
few drops of Listerine... a powerful antiseptic.
16. Heinz vinegar to heal bruises... Soak a cotton ball in white
vinegar and apply it to the bruise for 1 hour. The vinegar reduces the
blueness and speeds up the healing process.
17.Kills fleas instantly. Dawn dish washing liquid does the trick. Add
a few drops to your dog's bath and shampoo the animal thoroughly.
Rinse well to avoid skin irritations. Goodbye fleas.
18. Rainy day cure for dog odor... Next time your dog comes in from the
rain, simply wipe down the animal with Bounce or any dryer sheet,
instantly making your dog smell springtime fresh.
19. Eliminate ear mites... All it takes is a few drops of Wesson corn
oil in your cat's ear. Massage it in, then clean with a cotton ball.
Repeat daily for 3 days. The oil soothes the cat's skin, smothers the
mites, and accelerates healing.
20. Vaseline cure for hair balls..... To prevent troublesome hair
balls, apply a dollop of Vaseline petroleum jelly to your cat's nose. The
cat will lick off the jelly, lubricating any hair in its stomach so it
can pass easily through the digestive system.
21. Quaker Oats for fast pain relief.... It's not for breakfast
anymore! Mix 2 cups of Quaker Oats and 1 cup of water in a bowl and warm
in the microwave for 1 minute, cool slightly, and apply the mixture to
your hands for soothing relief from arthritis pain.
22. If you send this to 15 people and only one of them doesn't know
about this, then it was all worth it.

Texas Humor
Shared by Elaine (misplaced Texan), MO
The owner of a golf course in Texas was confused about paying an invoice, so he decided to ask his secretary for some mathematical help. He called her into office
and said, 'You graduated from University of Texas and I need some help. If I were to give you $20,000, minus 14%, how much would you take off?" "Everything
but my earrings."
(You gotta' love those Texas Gals.)
========================================================
A group of Texas friends went deer hunting and paired off in twos for the day. That night, one of the hunters returned alone, staggering under the weight of an
8-point buck. "Where's Henry?" the others asked. "Henry had a stroke of some kind. He's a couple of miles back up the trail," the successful hunter replied. "You
left Henry laying out there and carried the deer back?" they inquired. "A tough call," nodded the hunter. "But I figured no one is going to steal Henry!"
========================================================
A University of Texas senior from Oklahoma was over heard saying, "When the end of the world comes, I hope to be back in Oklahoma." When asked why, he stated
that everything happens there 20 years later than in the rest of the civilized world.
========================================================
The young Texan came running into the store and said to his buddy, "Bubba, somebody just stole your pickup truck from the parking lot!" Bubba replied, "Did you
see who it was?" The young Texan answered, "I couldn't tell, but I got the license number."
========================================================
NEWS FLASH! - Texas worst air disaster occurred when a small 2-seat Cessna 150 plane, piloted by 2 Aggies of Texas A&M students, crashed into a College
Station cemetery earlier today. Search and rescue workers have recovered 300 bodies so far and expect the number to climb as digging continues into the evening.
The pilot and copilot survived and are helping in the recovery efforts.
========================================================
A Texas State trooper pulled over a Oklahoma pickup on I-35. The trooper asked, "Got any ID?" The driver replied, "Bout' whut?"
========================================================
A Texan had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, and proceeded to put a bouquet of flowers in front of the car and one behind it. Then he got back in the
car to wait. A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man
replied, "I have a flat tire." The passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?" The man responded, "When you break down, they tell you to put flares in the front
and flares in the back. I never did understand it either.
=======================================================
A visiting minister prayed during the offertory prayer. "Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "Without You, we are
but dust ..." He would have continued; but, at that moment, one very obedient little girl (who was listening carefully for a change) leaned over to her mother and
asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy, WHAT is butt dust?" (Church was pretty much over at that point.)

SOY-SAKE SHRIMP WITH GINGER AIOLI
~Submitted by Ann, FL
Joe Dion of North Charleston, South Carolina, writes: "Because I work in a restaurant (I'm a chef at a place called Slightly North of Broad in
Charleston), I don't let my cooking at home get too complicated. I'm at the restaurant five days a week and often work on weekends, but whenever I have the
chance I enjoy getting
together with friends and cooking for them."
This twist on the classic garlic mayonnaise is as simple as blending mayo and fresh ginger in a processor.
1/2 cup soy sauce
2 green onions, chopped
6 tablespoons olive oil, divided
2 tablespoons unseasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sake or dry Sherry
1 tablespoon golden brown sugar
3 garlic cloves, chopped

1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped peeled fresh ginger

blend. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour, turning shrimp occasionally.
Blend mayonnaise and ginger in food processor until smooth. Transfer ginger aioli to small bowl and refrigerate.
Drain marinade from shrimp into small saucepan; bring to boil. Whisk 2 tablespoons boiled marinade into ginger aioli; reserve remaining boiled
marinade.
Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; saut?© until just opaque in center, about 4 minutes. Mound
rice in center of plates. Arrange shrimp around rice; drizzle with ginger aioli. Serve, passing reserved boiled marinade.

MIXED GRILL
~Submitted by Larry Holmes, Ontario, Canada
The Mixed Grill recipe attached is one my British mother frequently made on Sundays, and one I encountered on many buffets years later. It is particularly popular
in French Canada at societal breakfasts!!
(This British-born recipe reflects the pub-patron??™s preference for a variety of grilled meats with a few supportive veggies. The following reflects but one of the
many variations possible!)
2 loin lamb chops, 2 inches thick
2 lamb kidneys
4 large mushrooms
1 large tomato
butter
salt and pepper
2 large bratwurst
2 slices Canadian bacon
parsley or watercress
cooking oil
Trim excess fat from lamb chops. Wipe with damp cloth. Trim white membrane and fat from kidneys. Slice them almost in two, but without
separating the pieces. Lay flat. Wash and remove stems from mushrooms. Brush caps with melted butter. (Save stems for another use.) Set aside.
Cut tomato in half and brush each with melted butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Heat broiler and oil broiler rack. Grill chops close to the heat to sear on both sides. Add the sausages, tomato, bacon and grill about 6 inches from
heat. Remove tomato as soon as it is done??™ turn sausages to keep from burning, and remove them and the bacon when they are done. Broil chops about 5 minutes on
each side for
rare. Salt each side after it is cooked. When little drops of read appear on surface of second side, chops are cooked sufficiently.
Arrange on each heated plate 1 lamb chop, 1 kidney, 1 sausage, ?? tomato, 1 slice bacon, and 2 mushroom caps. Garnish with parsley or
watercress.
Serves 2.
Note: Liver, gammon (ham steak), beef steak may also be added or substituted.

A few grinds black pepper
4 slices center cut bacon or pancetta
Chopped chives or scallions, optional garnish
Preheat oven, if using, to 400 degrees F.
Lightly coat asparagus spears in extra-virgin olive oil. Season the asparagus with black pepper. Take a quick count of the spear tips. Divide the total number by four.
Gather that number of spears and use a slice of bacon to wrap the bundle and secure the spears together. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
To grill, place bundles on hot grill and cover. Cook 10 to 12 minutes until bacon is crisp and asparagus bundles are tender.
For oven preparation, place bundles on slotted broiler pan. Bake 12 minutes.

HONEY-CHIPOTLE BARBECUE CHICKEN SANDWICHES
Source: Cooking Light
This recipe yields slow-cooked barbecue flavor in less than an hour. The sandwiches need to be broiled at the last minute, but the rest of the menu can be made
ahead of time.
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon ground cumin
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
1 (7-ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce (use half the amount if you aren't into quite spicy)
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup canned tomato puree
1/4 cup cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 (1 1/2-ounce) sandwich rolls
2 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, thinly sliced
4 (1/8-inch-thick) slices red onion
Combine water, 1 teaspoon cumin, 4 sliced garlic cloves, and chicken in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to
medium-low; cook 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Drain, and place chicken on a cutting board. Cut chicken across grain into thin slices; keep warm.
Remove 2 tablespoons adobo sauce from can; set aside. Remove 2 chipotle chiles from can; finely chop and set aside. Reserve
remaining chiles and adobo sauce for another use.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon minced garlic; saut?© 3 minutes or until just beginning to brown. Add 1 teaspoon cumin;
saut?© 1 minute. Stir in tomato puree; cook 4 minutes or until mixture thickens to a
paste-like consistency, stirring constantly. Stir in reserved 2 tablespoons adobo
sauce, 2 chopped chipotle chiles, vinegar, honey, Worcestershire, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add sliced chicken to sauce; simmer for 3 minutes or until thoroughly
heated.
Preheat broiler.
Split rolls in half; arrange in a single layer, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Broil 1 minute or until lightly toasted. Remove top halves of rolls from baking sheet.
Divide chicken mixture evenly among bottom halves of rolls, and top chicken mixture evenly with cheese. Broil chicken-topped rolls 2 minutes or until cheese melts.
Remove from oven; top with onion and top roll halves. Serve immediately.
