Eileen Wood becomes writer # 304.?
Please email her to welcome her and tell her how much you liked her
poem. Now onto the good stuff! Animal awareness series, endorsed by Today??™s Queue Stories ~**~**~ The Greatest Story Bill Walker ? The greatest story ever told or written.? Some
says? the Christmas story is the? Greatest Story, while others say
Easter.? ? What is one with out the other?? I think both together
are the Greatest Story ever told, or written. ? If you go back and look at the times, the place, the
thinking of the people? of the times, and even of the present day Jewish
people who never accepted Jesus.? Things were in a mess then just like
today.? Nothing really changes. Just the actors in the play. ? You see the people were asking once again for the leader to
waltz them out of the mess.? They were looking to the sky for the man with
the sharp sword in hand, and also a sharp tongue of a sword to take care of the
problems. ? Instead they got this guy walking about teaching of things
like peace, good will, and talking about the ? Now this fellow,? he seems? to have a small group
following him about.? He never seems to have much in way of world
goods.? Just enough to make it maybe through the day.? Sometime the
group stands? on the street corner and talks.? Some times they find a
house to have a get together.? I would think maybe they are preaching the
over throw of the government.? ? Maybe we should call up the CIA, The FBI,
and the Homeland Security Gang of the day. Might find some Liberals in the
robes. They do talk about feeding the poor, and giving a cup of water to the
needy. ? I have never figured out this Greatest Story ever
told.? ? That is you have to have Christmas to give you Easter.?
So what is one with out the other? ? I think the Greatest Story has to be Christmas, and Easter,
and all the Bible tells you that happened between those two dates. ? The Bible tells of a humble birth.? ? ? The
power hungry was looking for a step right out of the Sky King to come in and
take them to? a new high.? The devil with this man of poor birth in
the back alley of some ? The Bible many a place, tells us of this man and his travels
about. Just a walk from one place to another.? Kind of like that old
song.? Just a walk with Jesus. Then just like today.? People wasn't
going on no walk, they was looking for a ride. ? The Bible tells us of his talks with people of about all
kinds and classes.? I noticed he talked to every one.? Rich, poor, in
betweens.? ? A few Saints,? lots of sinners.? Saints got mad
and walked away or in most cases road away in the Caddy of the day. Those told
how pure they were, and just who is this poor bum on the street corner any
ways? ? The thing is the Bible told many places about this man
coming, how he would come and what was going to happen.? It is there in
black and white. In PLAIN SPEAKING. One doesn??™t need the latest washed out
rewrite of a rewrite King James to understand. ? The problem then just as it is today.? People don't
read.? I have said it many times. Better look out Mr. and Mrs.,? and
Miss Saint.? And this goes for preachers of all types.? You never
know.? That poor person standing on the corner, was that Jesus you just passed
by with out a second look? ? Now I know? I jumped off of the path...? The thing
is the jump off is what Christmas and Easter is about.? ? Jesus came
here as very humble, died a sorry death.? He rose and is alive
today.? He talked, do un to others as you would have them do unto
you.? All this is what Christmas and Easter is about.? He came, walked
and talked, and died on the cross? for you and me.? He is no longer on
the cross, nor in the grave,? did the Bible also fore tell that before he
came.? Remember one thing.? God so loved the world, he sent his SON
to save your soul...? I think the word is,? HE SO LOVED YOU? AND
ME,? BROTHER AND SISTER.? Tinker and Poo; The Boys Write http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?&isbn=0-595-35741-5 ~**~**~ ? Mr. Fix-It Sharon Bryant? Once upon a time......... ? I used to date a guy who was a
cabinet maker.? When I went to his shop, the smell of sawdust was overwhelming.?
Yet I saw some beautiful pieces of wood.? Had I been into wood crafts then
as I am today, I may have borrowed some of that gorgeous wood. ? I then dated a truck
driver.? Now there's a profession that's interesting if they do over the
road hauling.? I just didn't have the heart to tell him I grew up in
tractors when my dad drove truck.? So when I rode with him, I acted
excited when he pointed out a huge hawk nest in a tree on I-94 going into With my luck, a date would have
been sitting on the side of the road counting how many hawks flew by. ? Today I'm married to a fix-it
man.? He's a welder/electrician.? He's also been in the food business
like I have for years, so we combined our knowledge of what we both knew and it
works.? I cook and I clean the dishes.? He sits in front of the TV
and works the remote evenings.? I break a plate, I yell, "Help, I
need you Mr. Fix-it man."? Here he comes with that handy little kit
of his. ? Yesterday? was the ultimate
fix-it. ? We have one of those coffee pots
that has the timer on it. ? I am always up when the coffee is
perking.? It sort of gives me a lift to sit and watch the news on
television, smell the aroma of hot coffee perking and pour myself a cup with my
Coffeemate Irish Cream. I woke before hubby.? I got
my cup out of the cupboard, sprinkled my Cream into the cup, then lifted the
coffee pot.? I heard the little snap.? I was in the process of
pouring the coffee when I heard the noise and instantly saw my coffee pot begin
to lean towards the counter.? I grabbed a potholder to catch the pot
before I had it all over myself, the counter and floor. ? I then saw that the little black
plastic piece that hooks the handle to the glass had snapped off.? And
with a coffee pot that is 13 years old, I knew to find a pot to match it would
be about impossible.? Hubby walked into the kitchen as he saw me pouring
my coffee holding the hot pot with a potholder.? He asked what happened
and I told him the pot handle? broke. ? "I can fix that." he
said.? Good old JB WELD, a little
package he keeps handy in the house for those small jobs.? I told him I
thought that was for metal and he said no, it holds glass, plastic, many other
things.? He should know, he fixed his dentures with JB Weld two weeks ago
and they're still holding! ? He gets out his little kit, mixes
his two "welding"? tubes,? and tells me it has to sit
overnight.? I said fine.? Meanwhile I went on the computer trying to
find a replacement pot for the model number of ? This morning the coffee was
perking.? He had put the coffee pot in place on the coffee
maker? before he went to bed last night.? The pot was almost full when
I got up.? I picked up the pot, turned it downward to pour into my cup,
and SNAP, there went that piece of plastic again.? It irritated me that I
would have to buy a new coffee maker when ours works just fine, just because
the pot is outdated. ? That's another thing.? I
hate buying appliances.? I mean, when I buy something, I want my money's
worth.? ? Coffee makers SHOULD give us at least? 15-20 years of
service.? After all, grandma had that old dryer for over 40 years and it
was still working when she gave it to me.? Of course that was a Maytag,
the best there was in those days. Today I wished Maytag made coffee
makers. ? So.....back to this morning. Welders and electricians carry
all kinds of gadgets.? Chalk line, tool kits, rolls of welding rod, and
heavy duty string.? Of course the string was mine from ages ago when I was
flying kites for the kids. ? After I got one of the kid's kites stuck in
that old tree house by the neighbor's that one year, I bought heavy duty twine
after that.? Hubby put it into his tool box long ago. Today was the first time I'd seen
it in years.? Amazing how many years twine will last, isn't it? ? Mr. Fix-it took that twine, tied
it under the lip of the coffee pot, wrapped it around the rim of the pot, and
tied it to the handle.? It's really taunt.? It worked! ? The only thing I have to figure
out now is when someone comes over and sees the coffee pot with a string around
the whole top of it and asks me what the string is for....I think I'll say,
"Gee, at my age, some of us get forgetful and? I have that string
there to remind me to have my coffee every morning." ? Sharon Bryant 1946 @bellsouth.net About Me: I am Sharon Bryant,? 59 years old and reside in ~**~**~ Fruit Inspection ? ? Joyce C. Lock If we believe we are called to be
Fruit Inspectors, then might we also have been watching for imperfection
in? Jesus, in His day, too? ? By? human observation, Jesus
did not pass the test.? Among other things, they said He was gluttonous
and a winebibber;? being that he befriended both publicans and
sinners.? Luke 7:34? No doubt, others have looked to find flaws in
your ministry, too. ? Maybe you were slain by someone
offended by your poundage, who'd forgotten that bodily exercise only profits a
little. ? Perhaps? the determination of
your? faithfulness is based upon 100% church attendance, when you work
third shift and can't keep your eyes open through every meeting. ? They thought? God had caused
Jesus' affliction due to his own sin, without ever having? considered that
people? might actually? be suffering? as? a result of
the? sins of others.? Isaiah 53:4-5 ? Apparently, if we look to see
error, we will find it; real or imagined.? That being the case, why don't
we give others a break and get off? their backs? ? ? Wherefore by their
fruits ye shall know them. ? Matthew 7:20 ? ? It isn't by our
inspection that we shall know them. ? It is by their
fruit that we shall "know" them. ? ? But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness,
temperance: against such there is no law.? And they that are Christ's have
crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.? If we live in the
Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.? Let us not be desirous of vain
glory, provoking one another, envying one another. ? Galatians 5:22-26 ? ? ?© 2005 by Joyce C.

suspense...I am traveling right along with NormieLee.? I am anxiously
awaiting part two.? God bless for sharing as always Leona ? As always
awesome and wonderful writings shared Dear Carol Roach our
WinteRose? ? hugs to you from the 'Ole Lady who is still "Dancing
With Life" and waiting for another miracle healing, as she also
appreciates and thanks all for their prayers for her and her son Walter and her
hubby of soon to be 51 years Charles (Charlie).Leona Dear
Carol, ? Thank you
so much for publishing my story? "Innocence
Lost" as a special treat on March 10th. ? I hope
what happened to me never happens to anyone, but if it does I would want
my? story? to enable? that person? to know where they can go
for help and for them to know they are not alone in their ordeal. Hence the
reason I provided resources at the end. If only I had sort help sooner, I would
not have had to suffer needlessly for over 10 years! ? That is? another
reason I wrote of my rape; so that if this does happen to someone, they will
know to seek therapy as soon as it happens... ? Again,
thank you, thank you so much for publishing the true-account of what happened
to me all those years ago! ? Sincerely, My Visit
