Ralph and Edna

Ralph and Edna were both patients in a mental hospital. One day while they were walking past the hospital swimming pool. Ralph suddenly jumped into the deep end. He sank to the bottom of the pool and stayed there. Edna promptly jumped in to save him.She swam to the bottom and pulled him out.

When the Head Nurse Director became aware of Edna's heroic act she immediately ordered her to be discharged from the hospital, as she now considered her to be mentally stable.

When she went to tell Edna the news she said, "Edna, I have good news and bad news. The good news is you're being discharged, since you were able to rationally respond to a crisis by jumping in and saving the life of the person you love. I have concluded that your act displays sound mindedness. The bad news is, Ralph hung himself in the bathroom with his bathrobe belt right after you saved him. I am so sorry, but he's dead."

Edna replied, "He didn't hang himself, I put him there to dry. How soon can I go home?"

Wyoming Trip

In the beginning of March, Flynn, Joanna,

and I took a trip to Wyoming to visit friends.

It was nice to get away, relax and enjoy godly fellowship.

We thoroughly enjoyed the visit!

Here are a few picts. from the trip:

Hiking

Believe me, it was as cold as it looks!

Back at the house

Playing Killer Uno :D

I was trying to fly there...

And of course, when there are instruments around,

we have to play them :)

Our always faithful and encouraging audience

Bowling

We had such a good time!

A big thank you to the Black family and the Mcnairs

for making us feel right at home!

On a side note, Flynn got us lost on the way home,

so you'll have to ask her about that.

She is never going to live that one down :D

The trip worked out great and we had so much fun.

I'm so glad Joanna went with us. :)

We laughed the entire time!

Please pray for her as she is in Alaska for the next

4 weeks working in a radio ministry.

We miss her very much but are excited

to see what God does in this ministry.

Until later...

Dementia Test

Below are four (4) questions and a bonus question. You have to answer them instantly. You can't take your time, answer all of them immediately. OK?


Let's find out just how clever you really are....



Ready? GO!!! (scroll down)





First Question:

You are participating in a race. You overtake the second person. What position are you in?




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Answer: If you answered that you are first, then you are absolutely wrong! If you overtake the second person and you take his place, you a re second!

Try not to screw up next time. Now answer the second question, but don't take as much time as you took for the first question, OK?

Second Question:
If you overtake the last person, then you are...? (scroll down)


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Answer: If you answered that you are second to last, then you are wrong again. Tell me, how can you overtake the LAST person?


You're not very good at this, are you?

Third Question:
Very tricky arithmetic! Note: This must be done in your head only. Do NOT use paper and pencil or a calculator. Try it.



Take 1000 and add 40 to it.. Now add another 1000 . Now add 30. Add another 1000. Now add 20. Now add another 1000.. Now add 10. What is the total?

Scroll down for answer.....









~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Did you get 5000?

The correct answer is actually 4100.



If you don't believe it, check it with a calculator! Today is definitely not your day, is it? Maybe you'll get the last question right... Maybe.

Fourth Question:

Mary's father has five daughters: 1. Nana, 2. Nene, 3. Nini, 4. Nono. What is the name of the fifth daughter?







~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did you Answer Nunu? NO! Of course it isn't.
Her name is Mary. Read the question again!



Okay, now the bonus round:

A mute person goes into a shop and wants to buy a toothbrush. By imitating the action of brushing his teeth he successfully expresses himself to the shopkeeper and the purchase is done.
Next, a blind man comes into the shop who wants to buy a pair of sunglasses; how does HE indicate what he wants?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



He just has to open his mouth and ask...
It's really very simple.






PASS TH IS ON TO FRUSTRATE THE
SMART PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!
Have a nice day everyone.:D

Josiah Arthur

Isn't he the cutest little man you have ever seen?

O give thanks unto the Lord; call upon his name:

make known his deeds among the people.

Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him:

talk ye of his wondrous works.

Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart

of them rejoice that seek the Lord.

Seek the Lord, and his strength:

seek his face evermore.

Remember his marvellous works that he hath done;

his wonders, and the judgements of his mouth;

Psalm 105:1-5

Hearts in the Snow

The other day at work, we noticed that there were

perfect hearts in the snow made from customer's

vehicles pulling in and out of the parking lot.

Of course, this calls for a picture!

I thought it was pretty cute :)

Hope to see you there!

The words of this song have been

an encouragement to me this week.

I hope they are a blessing to you as well!

In Christ alone my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all-
Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied;
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid-
Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain;
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me;
For I am His and He is mine-
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death-
This is the pow’r of Christ in me;
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home-
Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.

I'm so thankful that my strength is in Christ!

Sorry for the lack of posts lately.

It seems like we have lacked inspiration and time to post anything.

We went to a very beautiful wedding today and got some pictures so I thought I'd post those.
