The Slip of Words

A minister and lawyer were chatting at a party. “What do you do if you make a mistake on a case?” the minister asked. “Try to fix it if it’s big; ignore it if it’s insignificant,” replied the lawyer. “What do you do?” The minister replied, “Oh, more or less the same. Let me give you an example. The other day I meant to say ‘the devil is the father of liars,’ but instead I said ‘the devil is the father of lawyers,’ so I let it go.”

 

The Complainer

The priest said, “Sister, this is a silent monastery. You are welcome here as long as you like, but you may not speak until directed to do so.” Sister Mary lived in the monastery for 5 years before the priest said to her, ‘Sister Mary, you have been here for 5 years. You may speak two words.” Sister Mary said, “Hard bed.”  “I’m sorry to hear that,” the priest said, “We will get you a better bed.” After another 5 years, Sister Mary was summoned by the Priest: “You may say another two words, Sister Mary.” “Cold food,” said Sister Mary, and the priest assured her that the food would be better in the future. On her 15th anniversary at the monastery, the priest again called Sister Mary in to his office. “You may say two words today.” “I quit,” said Sister Mary. “It’s probably best,” said the priest, “You’ve done nothing but complain since you got here.”

Why?

I am 38 years old and I have so many unanswered questions… I still haven’t found out who let the dogs out…where’s the beef…how to get to Sesame Street…why Dora doesn’t just use Google Maps…why do all flavors of fruit loops taste exactly the same…how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop…why eggs are packaged in a flimsy paper carton, but batteries are secured in plastic that’s tough as nails, yet light bulbs too are in a flimsy carton… Ever buy scissors? You need scissors to cut into the packaging of scissors…I still don’t understand why there is Braille on drive-up ATM’s or why “abbreviated” is such a long word; or why is there a D in ‘fridge’ but not in refrigerator… Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor yet dishwashing liquid is made with real lemons…Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections…And, why do you have to “put your two cents in” but it’s only a “penny for your thoughts” – where’s that extra penny going… Why do The Alphabet Song and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star have the same tune…Why did you just try to sing those two previous songs…And just what is Victoria’s secret?…and what would you do for a Klondike bar – you know as soon as you bite into it, it falls apart…and why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?

Pesty Squirrels

Three churches in town were overrun with squirrels. After much prayer, the elders of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. Who were they to interfere with God’s will?  They did nothing, and the squirrels multiplied. The elders of the second church, deciding that they should not harm any of God’s creatures, humanely trapped the squirrels and then set them free outside of town.  Three days later the squirrels were back.

The third church succeeded in solving the squirrel problem. The elders simply baptized the squirrels and registered them as members of the church.  Now they only see the squirrels on Christmas and Easter.

 

 

BYE FOR NOW

By Heather Spears Kallus

Goodbye seems so final – seven letters in a row,

“Bye for now” feels better – this I do know.

When parting ways from this earth or simply for the day,

Bye for now is comforting – that I must say.

Bye for now provides a chance to meet again somehow,

To give or get another hug – that time, it will allow.

Bye for now offers hope to all the ones we love,

That simple phrase might be a gift directly from above.

Days can feel oh so long, but years are short indeed,

Ask anyone who’s lost a love – “Just one more day,” we plead.

All the memories in our hearts, tucked away, we keep,

Special ones leave a mark, one that’s surely deep.

So, let’s not say goodbye.  Let’s change the way we part,

Let’s say, “Bye for now.”  It’s softer on the heart.

Whether it is in a text, long e-mail, or note,

Let it be remembered – bye for now is what we wrote.

Or when our time on earth has met its final date,

It’s bye for now, not goodbye – see you at The Gate!

 

 

Thoughts For the Day:

I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn’t fit for the job. ~ I got a job as a historian, until I realized there was no future in it. ~ The grace of God is the mending glue for broken hearts. ~ Managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining. ~ I became a professional fisherman, but discovered I couldn’t live on my net income. ~ I studied a long time to become a doctor, but didn’t have any patience. ~ I tried to be a musician, but eventually found I wasn’t noteworthy. ~ I used to work in the woods as a lumberjack, but just couldn’t hack it, so they gave me the axe. ~ I tried working in a muffler factory, but that was too exhausting. ~ I tried being a chef – figured it would add a little spice to my life, but just didn’t have the thyme. ~

Success is when you look back at your life and the memories make you smile.
