~~~~~~~ WITandWISDOM™ - June 15, 1999 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "If you care at all you will get some results. If you care enough you will get incredible results!" - Jim Rohn (E-zine: POWERQUOTE Mailto:powerquote-list-request@discian.com?Subject=Subscribe) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: YOUR CROSS - Author Unknown Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, There will always be sunshine after the rain. Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall, But God's always ready to answer your call. He knows every heartache, sees every tear, A word from His lips can calm every fear. Your sorrows may linger throughout the night, But suddenly vanish at dawn's early light. The Savior is waiting somewhere above, To give you His grace and send you His love. Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, God always sends rainbows after the rain. (Carol Blum) ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: THINGS CHILDREN SAY: The little boy greeted his grandmother with a hug and said, "I'm so happy to see you grandma. Now maybe daddy will do the trick he has been promising us." The grandmother was curious. "What trick is that my dear," she asked. The little boy replied, "I heard daddy tell mommy that he would climb the walls if you came to visit us again."

Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use, Grandpa. The mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

At wit's end, she finally said, "Brian, can't you play someplace where it's cleaner?" "If God didn't want us to play in the dirt," Brian logically said, "why did he make so much of it?"

One day he had to go to the British Broadcasting Corporation (the BBC) to make an important speech to the nation. An hour before the time of this speech, he stopped a taxi in the street and asked the driver to take him to the BBC; but the taxi-driver, who did not recognize him, said he could not take him anywhere just then, because he wanted to go back to his home at the other end of London to hear Churchill make a speech on radio. Churchill was so pleased when he heard this answer that he gave the man a pound, which was worth quite a lot in those days. 'All right, get in,' said the driver happily, opening the door of the taxi. 'I'll take you, and the heck with Churchill and his speech!'
