WITandWISDOM(tm) - November 8, 2001 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: It is magnificent to grow old if one keeps young. - Harry Emerson Fosdick Source: DailyThought http://www.sperience.net/lists/signlist.html#thought ~~~ ~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: Broken Dreams As children bring their broken toys With tears for us to mend, I brought my broken dreams to God Because He was my friend. But then instead of leaving Him In peace to work alone, I hung around and tried to help With ways that were my own. At last I snatched them back and cried, "How could you be so slow" "My child," He said, "What could I do? You never did let go." - Author Unknown By Lauretta P. Burns, Denver, Colorado My poem "Broken Dreams" has been published by H&L Enterprises as a Poster, by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer in his book Your Sacred Self by the teaching division of the Southern Baptist Association. Submitted by Sue Archer ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: CHILDREN'S LETTERS TO GOD Part 1 of 4 [Nov 8, 16, 23, 30] Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each other so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. Steven Dear God, If you watch me in church Sunday, I'll show you my new shoes. Mickey Dear God, Of all the people who worked for you, I like Noah and David the best. Rob Dear God, I want to be just like my daddy when I get big, but not with so much hair all over. Sam Dear God, I didn't think orange went with purple until I saw the sunset you made on Tuesday. That was cool! Eugene Dear God, Why is Sunday school on Sunday? I thought it was supposed to be our day of rest. Tom L. Dear God, Please send me a pony.

He was anxious to play. He was saying mommy, mommy and I just pretended I was asleep. After a few times he finally came over to me and opened one of my eyes and said "Mommy I know your in there" - Jennifer Source: Just for Grins, http://www.coolnewsletters.com ~~~~~~~ TRIVIA: Edison was asked to sign a guest book that had the usual columns for name and address, as well as one for "Interested in."
