LAUGHTER :
A little boy opened the big family bible. He was fascinated as he fingered through the old pages. Suddenly, something fell out of the Bible. He picked up the object and looked at it. What he saw was an old leaf that had been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" With astonishment in the young boy's voice, he answered, "I think it's Adam's underwear."
While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his 5-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased. The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said: "Glory be unto the Faaather, and unto the Sonnn, and into the hole he goooes."
UNDERSTANDING WOMEN

(A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.

Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, He would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM " He left it where he knew she would find it.

The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight.

Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
By the time a man realises that maybe his father was right, he usually has a son who thinks he's wrong.

Charles Wadworth
You knew my father as governor, as president, but I knew him as Dad. I want to tell you a little bit about my dad - a little bit about Cameron and Ashley's grandfather, because not a whole lot is ever spoken about that side of Ronald Reagan.

10 Secrets for Success

Life Goals
Value Goals
Relational Goals
Material, Financial & Work Goals


by Warwick Marsh


1) Spiritual Goals

Love God - God is love and God is truth - 'I wanna know what love is' by Foreigner - find God. God is the Great Father, the creator of all things. God loves you; love is the greatest force in the universe. .

2) Integrity & Truth Goals

Love Truth - 'Honesty is the best policy' (anon), 'buy the truth and do not sell it', 'a good name is more desirable than great riches' (both proverbs), 'to thine own self be true and as night follows day you cannot be false to any man', William Shakespeare.

3) Attitude Goals

Love Faith - Believe in yourself, believe in others, be positive and speak positively - 'the cup is half full, not half empty'. 'He who guards his lips, guards his life', life and death are in the power of the tongue (proverbs), 'as a man thinks, so is he', Jesus said, 'You shall have whatsoever you say'. Faith - you can do very little with it, but you can do nothing without it .

4) Learning Goals

Love Wisdom & Knowledge - Never stop learning, never stop growing - 'by wisdom a house is built and through understanding it is established', 'the more you know, the more you grow'. The more you know, the more you realise you don't know - this is the key to humility. .

5) Personal Goals

Love Yourself - Love Life - Don't worry, be happy. 'Life is for living', The golden rule is to love your neighbour as you love yourself. 'Life be in it', 'Don't let life pass you by'.

6) Health Goals

Love Being Healthy - plan health, eat right, sleep right, exercise right and you will be right. 'A merry heart doeth good like a medicine', Keep your sense of humour, plenty of people will try to take it! Keep the saw sharp.

7) Family: Marital & Fatherhood Goals

Love Your Neighbour - Your relationships are your most important treasure. Those closest to you - your wife, your children, your family members, love your friends.

8) Community: Giving & Helping Goals

Love People (Love Giving) - to smile at someone is a wonderful gift. The key to life is giving - Mother Teresa. 'Be a giver, not a taker' -'there is great joy in giving' - giving is exciting. The great people of the world are all giving people. It is more blessed to give than to receive.

9) Career, Business & Work Goals

Love Work - 'whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might' - the hand of the diligent will prosper - discipline is part of work - whoever loves discipline loves knowledge. Success is 90% perspiration & 10% inspiration.

10) Financial, Business & Asset Goals

Love Being Financially Healthy - Plan your work and work your plan. Saving is important and so is giving - investing for the future, building your asset base - be careful of gambling addictions.
