WITandWISDOM(tm) - March 24, 2003 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "Now is the only time there is. Make your now wow, your minutes miracles, and your days pay. Your life will have been magnificently lived and invested, and when you die you will have made a difference." - Mark Victor Hansen Source: The Funnies, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/andychaps_the-funnies ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: A story is told of a little boy who made a toy boat. One day when he was floating it on the river, it was carried far out of his sight. He grieved over the loss of it. Sometime afterward he saw it in the window of a pawnshop. The proprietor would not give it to him, even though he told him it was his own. He would have to pay $2.75 for it. After working hard for several days to earn sufficient money to purchase it, he returned to the shop and bought his boat. As he carried it away with him, he held it close to him and said, "Little boat, you are twice mine. In the first place I made you, and in the second place I paid for you." We are twice God's. He is our creator and our redeemer.

There was one section for those people who were new to the faith, another for regular members who preferred the more traditional worship service, one for those who'd lost their faith and wanted to get it back, and a separate service for those who had had some unsuccessful experiences with other churches and had some complaints. The four services are named: Finders, Keepers, Losers, Weepers.
