Never Found the Time.

Post 226 - - - - - Monday, 11th June, 2007.

Hi Everyone ~~ I hope you are enjoying a great week with nice
weather and things going well for you. I am going OK, but not
very far or fast !! Spend time sitting at the computer with the
heater on, read the papers etc. Not very energetic this weather.
Tomorrow is my shopping day so will have to brave the elements
and stock up again. The list looks a long one again !!

Thank you to those who commented on the story about Ben and
the very generous Firemen. My friend Gwen sent this to me
and I forgot the link last night, so it's here tonight. Thanks Gwen.

Tonight I have a poem about being too busy, and also what
Hello means, The last sent by my daughter Julie. Thanks!!

I knelt to pray but not for long,
I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work
For bills would soon be due.

So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends
They'd laugh at me, I fear.

Time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord,
I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
"Your name, I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down . . .
But never found the time."

HELLO
Have you ever thought what this word stands for ? Read on . . .

Do you know what a simple "hello" can be a sweet one ?

The word H.E.L.L.O. means :

H = How are you ?

E = Everything all right ?

L = Like to hear from you

L = Love to see you soon !

O = Obviously, You are my friend.

It has made me smile every time I say hello now.

So, Hello !! Have a great day !!

An Aussie, a Pom and an Irishman go down to Mexico
one night and get drunk and wake up in jail. They found
out that they are to be executed for their crimes but none
of them can remember what they have done.

The Aussie is strapped into the Electric chair and is asked
if he has any last words. He says, " I am from the University
of Melbourne School of Theology and I believe in the
almighty power of God to intervene on behalf of the
Innocent." They throw the switch and nothing happens,
so they figure God must not want this guy to die, so they let
him go.

The Pom is strapped in and gives his last words, " I am from
the University School of Law and I believe in eternal power
of Justice to intervene on the part of the innocent." The
switch is thrown again and nothing happens. They figure that
the law is on this guy's side, so they let him go.

The Irishman is strapped in and says, "Well I'm a boilermaker
and an Electrical Engineer from Dublin, and I'll tell you right
now, you'll never electrocute anybody if you don't connect
those two wires." God rest his soul.

When the end of the world came, everybody on earth went
to heaven.

God said, "I want the men to make two lines. One line for men
that dominated their women on earth and the other line for the
men that were dominated by their women. Also I want all the
women to go with St. Peter."

With that said and done, the next time God looked, the women
are gone and there were two lines. The line of the men that were
dominated by their women was 1000 miles long, and in the other
line of men that dominated their women, there was only one man.

God became angry and said, " You men should be ashamed of
yourselves. I created you in my image and you were all whipped
by your mates. Look at the only one of my sons that stood up.
Learn from him ! Tell them my son, how did you manage to be
the only one in this line ?"

And the man replied, " I don't know, my wife told me to stand here."

The menfolk are not going to be happy about this one.

Top Ten Reasons Eve Was Created.

10. God was worried that Adam would frequently become lost
in the garden because he would not ask for directions.

9. God knew that one day Adam would require someone to
locate and hand him the remote.

8. God knew that Adam would never go out and buy himself a
new fig leaf when his wore out and would therefore need Eve
to buy one for him.

7. God knew that Adam would never be able to make a doctor's,
dentist, or haircut appointment for himself.

6. God knew that Adam would never remember which night
to put the garbage out on the curb.

5. God knew if the world was to be populated, men would never
be able to handle the pain of childbearing.

4. As Keeper of the Garden, Adam would never remember
where he left his tools.

3. Apparently, Adam needed someone to blame his troubles
on when God found him hiding in the garden.

2. As the Bible says, It is not good for man to be alone !!

And finally, the number 1 reason why God created Eve . . . .

1. When God finished the creation of Adam, He stepped back,
scratched his head, and said, " I can do better than that."
