Peaceful Journey Just one little splash One tiny drop Can begin many ripples It can change the course a lot Just one kind word A flicker of hope One act of compassion To one living soul Reaching out to touch Another along the way Sending prayers and blessings too As you journey on your way Poem © by Lynda King

Seems God was just about done creating the universe, but he had two extra things left in his bag of creations, so he decided to split them between Adam and Eve. He told the couple that one of the things he had to give away was the ability to stand up while urinating. "It's a very handy thing," God told the couple, "I was wondering if either one of you wanted that very ability. Adam jumped up and blurted, "Oh, give that to me! I'd love to be able to do that! It seems a sort of thing a man should do. Oh please, oh lease, oh please, let me have that ability, It'd be so great! When I'm working in the garden or naming the animals, I could just stand there and let it fly. It'd be so cool, I could write my name in the sand. Oh please God, let it be me who you give that gift to, let me stand and pee, oh please..." On and on he went like an excited little boy who had to pee. Eve just smiled and told God that if Adam really wanted that so badly, then he should have it. It seemed to be the sort of thing that would make him happy and she really wouldn't mind if Adam were the one given this ability. . . . And so Adam was given the ability to urinate while in a vertical position. He was happy and did celebrate by wetting down the bark on the tree nearest him, laughing with delight all the while. "Fine," God said looking back into his bag of leftovers. "What's left in here? Oh yes, brains...."

TOADS: HUMBLE GARDEN HEROES The average toad will eat 50-100 insects every night - that's 10,000 to 20,000 insects throughout a gardening season. They will help eliminate garden pests such as flies, grubs, slugs, cutworms, Grasshoppers, and anything else they are fast enough to catch. You can encourage toads to take up residence in your garden by providing shelter and water, and by using gentle pesticides that won't hurt your warty allies. Toads prefer homes that are humid and out of the wind. You can build a toad residence by digging a shallow depression in the soil and covering it with a board. Don't forget to leave a door! A birdbath at ground level would provide just the right amount of water for your toads' daily needs, but if you would like to see them raise a family in your garden, consider adding a water garden or small pond. Once they move in, they will stay for years, so the small effort required to attract them will pay off many times over. Jackie Carroll GardenGuides

Unzipped! I have this pair of tailored slacks that have been making life miserable for me. It's this faulty zipper, see - well, I didn't mean for you to actually look. Anyway, this zipper just uh, opens whenever it feels like it. It doesn't unzip, exactly. It opens from the bottom up. Fortunately, it hasn't gotten stuck that way - yet. So far, I've been able to zip it down, then back up, and everything is fine. This has occurred on at least three occasions, and each time I think, "Okay, these are the blue ones. I'll either get them fixed or toss them." Then I get home in the evening, take 'em off, and forget about it. Until the next time. It's two weeks ago. I'm at work. Down to deadline. I'm behind, trying to hurry. I'm coming out of my office when I feel the front of my pants separating. Lucky timing. I cut to the right, down the hall and into the men's room. Nobody had a chance to see. I can even laugh about it. Then, last week I was at the police station, making notes off the daily blotter, when somebody came in the front door. All of a sudden I felt a cool breeze in a place I know I'm not supposed to feel a breeze, you know? So there I was trying to act nonchalant, but fumbling all over the place, trying to cover myself with my notepad. I could picture the police lieutenant walking up, looking at me and shaking his head in disgust. "Hey scumbag, I think maybe you and I ought to have a talk in the back. We got a place for degenerates like you." But the person coming through the door wasn't a cop; he was the news director at the radio station. I don't know if he realized my problem or not, but I'm sure he thinks I'm the rudest guy he's ever met. And this past week. This past week was the worst of all. I was pasting up a page in the composing room when my hand brushed the front of my slacks. And I knew. There I was, Mr. Editor, trying to show some authority, people all around me, and my pants were unzipped. And I don't even know how long they had been that way. Is there a worse feeling in the world? Well, let me ask you this. Have you ever tried to work your way around a counter, turn a corner and get past a soft drink machine - all the time hugging the wall - and make conversation? It's hard to look natural doing that. As I made my way by the soft drink machine and into the men's room I remember thinking, "It probably doesn't look that bad. Probably, no one could tell it was open. And then I looked in the mirror, and I realized that, no, anyone would have to have been blind not to notice. Now today - you guessed it - I've got those same slacks on again. And because I know that the zipper will eventually do its thing, I keep checking. Just reaching down and making sure. And I'm starting to get some strange looks from my co-workers. They don't know if I'm turning into a pervert, becoming senile already, or watching way too much baseball lately. And I would try to explain, but I'm afraid all that would do is rule out baseball. So I keep quiet, and keep checking. And when I get home, I promise, I swear on a stack of old button-up Levis, these things won't touch the ground before they land in the trash.

Canning Jar Candles by Rachel Paxton Canning jar candles are very easy to make, make great gifts, and are only limited by your imagination! To start all you need are some old wide mouth canning jars, wire ribbon, potpourri, votive candles, small glass votive candle holders, and craft glue or a hot glue gun. If you don't have any old canning jars, you can find some very inexpensively at thrift stores and yard sales. Wire ribbon can be a little expensive. Look for it at yard sales and at craft store clearance sales. The after-Christmas sales a great time to stock up. One roll of ribbon will make several canning jar candles. Potpourri you can make yourself or buy on sale. Votive candles are inexpensive at stores like Target or Walmart, and you can also find glass votive candle holders very inexpensively at Walmart. You want one that will set in the rim of the canning jar. You can fill the canning jar with whatever you wish. Potpourri is one of the easiest fillers. I bought a nice autumn-scented potpourri and added some orange slices I'd dried in my food dehydrator. You can also add dried cranberries, apple slices, or cinnamon sticks. After you fill the jar, you set the candle holder inside the mouth of the jar. The top of the candle holder should be even with the top of the jar. You might have a little trial and error before you find just the right candle holder. Place the candle in the holder and then use the ribbon to tie a big bow around the neck of the jar. That's it! (You might want to use a little craft glue or your glue gun to tack the ribbon in place). You can glue some dried fruit, flowers, or other decorations on the bow for a more decorative look. You can also put other things in the jar besides potpourri. I've seen one half filled with white sugar with a short white taper candle set down in the sugar. Very pretty! And that one doesn't require the candle holder. At Christmas you can purchase small ornaments and place them in the jar instead of the potpourri. Any small figurine would do--in the spring you could use little bunnies. Maybe fill a jar with marbles or layers of colored sand. Even pennies! Use your imagination. These candles make great gifts and are also fun to make for yourself. If you get tired of one just empty it out and start again!

Shared Verse Miracle or Coincidence? I see miracles every day Just a coincidence some would say. Synchronicity is a planned event another coincidence heaven sent. Is a miracle some freaky quirk? Or, is it God's hand at work? I see His handiwork everywhere and daily I see small miracles occur. Just two lines crossing in eternity. It looks like a coincidence to you and me. The next time you get a hunch and, if you believe in miracles and such, pay close attention to how you feel and look for a miracle, I know they're real. I really believe a miracle is planned and a coincidence is just a touch of God's hand. If I love you and you love me perhaps that is the way it is supposed to be. © 2001 JimKS ©

OUCH~! kath Wee Wisdom Words that fly from your mouth belong to you alone. If they hurt or heal, batter or shield, they are yours to forever own. Terri _______________________________________________________ Words from a Simple Heart Over the course of a day, whether or not we're big talkers, we say a lot. Words come out in spits and spurts, a few sentences here, a paragraph or two there. If we're really on a roll, a barrage let's loose. At the end of the day, discounting everything said by everyone else, take stock of what, exactly, came out of your mouth. Did the contents of your words pollute or cleanup your environment? Did you speak in reaction to the world around you, or act on your own accord? Given the chance, did you build someone up or tear them down? In the face of something intolerable, did you speak up, or let your silence speak volumes? In the quiet moments before you drift off to dream, when all the words of the day have been spoken, tally the glory of the things you said. Should there be nothing to count, you are accountable for the nothingness. But wait! That's not fair. Your friend hurt your feelings. Your spouse made you angry. Your kids drove you nuts. Your boss was overbearing and rude. What's a person to do when the world dumps its garbage on your doorstep? The scale may not be tipped in your favor, but you're the only one who can balance its weight. Heap the garbage higher, or rise above it. Living in love and loving life, Terri McPherson

this is kinda early, but I liked this story so much and wanted to share it. kath A Father's Day Story: A Meal to Remember by Liz Franklin We lost my dear mother-in-law in March 1986. My own dear mother was lost to us in 1982. For Father's Day 1986, my husband Rick and I decided to have a very special dinner in our home for both our dads instead of the usual after-church dinner at a restaurant. I stayed home from church that morning to fix that very special meal. I had recently found a very delicious recipe for Lobster Newburg that I wanted to try, knowing how well both our dads loved seafood. During and after that special meal, my dad continually remarked about the delicious Lobster Newburg, but my father-in-law said nothing, although I noticed he had three portions. In April 2000, we lost my wonderful father-in-law. A few days before his passing, this very special man said to me quite out of the blue: "Liz, I have been lying here thinking about the special little moments in my life, and one of those was Father's Day 1986 and your delicious Lobster Newburg. I don't know if I ever told you how much I enjoyed that special favorite of mine, or how much it your making it that day meant to me. Lobster Newburg was a very special dish that my dear Charlotte (my husband's mother) would make for me on my birthday and our anniversary. I was missing Charlotte so very much that day and didn't want to visit with others, but your Lobster Newburg made my day, because it helped to bring back all those wonderful memories of those private, special dinners with my dear Charlotte." I then understand why my father-in-law had been so quiet during and after that meal on Father's Day 1986. He was reliving happy memories with his recently lost best friend of 45 years, his dear wife Charlotte. Last Father's Day, and every Father's Day from now on, I will remember this story, and how the extra time taken for a special dish brought happiness to a very special man in my life.

Using a large sharp knife cut the tenderloin crosswise into very thin slices. Cover a large decorative platter with arugula and arrange the beef slices on top. Combine 2 1/2 tablespoons oil and lemon juice and drizzle over the beef. Sprinkle the capers and Parmesan cheese on top. Have the slices of bread on a separate platter and have guests use tongs or a serving fork to put the arugula and beef onto the bread and then drizzle with the mustard horseradish sauce.

The Dog Rules Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog stays outside in a specially built wooden compartment named, for a very good reason, the doghouse. OKAY, the dog can enter the house, but only for short visits or if his own house is under renovations. OKAY, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis provided his doghouse could be sold at a lawn sale to a rookie dog owner. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined to a comfortable, but secure metal cage. OKAY, the cage becomes part of a "two for one" deal in the lawn sale and the dog can go wherever the hell he pleases. The dog is never allowed on the furniture. OKAY, the dog can get up on the old furniture, but not the new furniture. OKAY, the dog can get up on the new furniture until it looks like the old furniture and then we'll sell the whole works and buy new furniture on which the dog will most definitely not be allowed. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period. OKAY, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed only. OKAY, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the covers. OKAY, the dog can sleep under the covers, but not with his head on the pillow. OKAY, the dog can sleep alongside you, under the covers, with his head on the pillow, but if he snores, he got to leave the room. OKAY, the dog can sleep and snore and fart and have nightmares in your bed, but he's not to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where you are now sleeping. That's just not fair. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaires as "primary resident" even if its true. Remember, in any and all household interactions or disputes -- the dog rules! ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* The Lord gave us two ends - one to sit on and the other to think with.

A brunette, who decided blondes really do have more fun, went to the salon to get a bleach job. When she got home, her husband admired her new blonde locks. "Thanks, honey," she said. "I hope you realise how much pain and suffering I had to go through to become a blonde." "Pain and suffering?" said her husband. "How much pain can there be in becoming a blonde?" "That was the easy part," said the new blonde. "What hurt was when they drilled the hole in my head and removed half my brain."
