    Good Morning All-

    I took the day off! I need a mental health day!

    Patsy--I was at the fair and saw so many people I haven't seen in years it was impossible for me to look around. I think it was probably the first time in my life I was tired of talking. Plus, you would have never recognized me, my hair is now brown. SO, I kind of blended with everyone instead of standing out with my hair shinning like a new copper penny!

    Sorry I missed you all.

    Festina--the pics are great!

    Joke of the Day.....

    George, who was 70-years-old, went for his annual physical. All of his
    test results came back normal. Dr. Smith said, "George, everything looks great
    physically. How are you doing mentally and emotionally? Are you at peace with yourself, and do you have a good relationship with God?"

    George replied, "God and me are real tight. He knows I have poor eyesight, so he's fixed it so that when I get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, POOF the light goes on when I pee, and then POOF the light goes off when I'm done."

    "Wow," commented Dr. Smith, "That's incredible!"

    A little later in the day, Dr. Smith called George's wife.

    "Thelma," he said, "George is just fine. Physically he's great, but I had to call because I'm in awe of his relationship with God. Is it true that he gets up during the night and, POOF the light goes on in the bathroom, and then POOF it goes off when he's done?

    Thelma exclaimed, "That old fool! He's peeing in the refrigerator again!"

    This story should bring Tears To Your Eyes

    A man was lying in bed with his new girlfriend. After having great sex, she spent the next hour just rubbing his testicles -- something she seemed to love to do.

    As he was enjoying it, he turned and asked her, 'Why do you love doing that?'

    'Because,' she replied, 'I miss mine.'

    Kind of brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it?

    Just Stay
    A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside.
    'Your son is here,' she said to the old man.


    She had to repeat the words several times before the patient's eyes opened.


    Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack,

    he dimly saw the young uniformed Soldier standing outside

    the oxygen tent.

    He reached out his hand.

    The Soldier wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man's

    limp ones, squeezing a message

    of love and encouragement.


    The nurse brought a chair

    so that the Soldier could sit

    beside the bed.

    All through the night the

    young Soldier sat there

    in the poorly lighted ward,

    holding the old man's hand

    and offering

    him words of love and strength

    Occasionally, the nurse

    suggested that the Soldier

    move away and rest awhile.

    He refused.

    Whenever the nurse came

    into the ward,

    the Soldier was oblivious of her

    and of the night noises

    of the hospital -

    the clanking of the oxygen tank,

    the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings,

    the cries and moans

    of the other patients.


    Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night.


    Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Soldier released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.


    Finally, she returned.

    She started to offer words

    of sympathy,

    but the Soldier interrupted her.


    'Who was that man?'

    he asked.
    The nurse was startled,

    'He was your father,'

    she answered.

    'No, he wasn't,' the Soldier replied.

    'I never saw him before in my life.'


    'Then why didn't you say something when I took you to him?'

    'I knew right away there had been a mistake,
    but I also knew he needed his son, and his
    son just wasn't here.
    When I realized that he was too sick to tell
    whether or not I was his son,
    knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.'


    The next time someone needs you ... just be there. Stay.
    **************
    WE ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS GOING THROUGH A
    TEMPORARY SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE.


    WE ARE SPIRITUAL BEINGS

    GOING THROUGH A TEMPORARY HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
    (love this line)


    PLEASE PASS THIS ONE ON AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU!
