WITandWISDOM(tm) - July 1, 2003 ISSN 1538-8794 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: "Count no day lost in which you waited your turn, took only your share, and sought advantage over no one." - Robert Brault Source: Written Wisdom, mailto:writtenwisdom-subscribe@yahoogroups.com ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: At our local crematorium families are given the chance to chose the music CD they would like to enter the service to. One family asked to enter to Elvis Presley's hit, "Love me Tender." Well the day of the funeral arrived and the music was started ready for the family to walk in to the service. Unfortunately the wrong track number was entered into the CD player, and the family found themselves walking in to, "Return to Sender." From Rev. Hugh Lervy Source: A Joke a Day http://www.topica.com/lists/ajokeaday7 ~~~~~~~ KEEP SMILING: If absence makes the heart grow fonder, some people must really love church.
