Here's another one' A man is pondering life and has a conversation with The Lord: God, what is a thousand years like to you? God answers," Well my son, to me it's like a second in time. The man,in awe replies,"Wow thatis amazing". He then asks, "God what is a million dollars like to you"? God immediately replies," To me a million dollars is like a penny." The man once once again in amazment says, 'Wow that is cool!! He then perks right up and his eyes get real big and he asks The Lord "God,can I have a penny and God says, "Sure in a second IMA

Here's one I use to tell in my twig', It's more of a Catholic Joke.(No Offence) Jesus was walking through the county side with his disciples, when They heard a great comotion in the village they were comming into. The townsfolk were getting ready to sone a woman caught in adultry. Jesus interceded and question their reasons. They did not respond but continued the stoning with more fervor. Jesus then said "Let he that is without sin cast the first stone". At that moment an old lady came walking through the crowd, picked up a big rock and dropped it on the adulterous woman, SPLAT!!!! Jesus turns to the Old Women and Says " Mom you really .... me off sometimes. IMA

Raf, I stand corrected. I was refering to it as the situation as he(LCM) percieved it not that it was something that needed to be handled at all. It's funny how intent doesn't always tranaslate well over the keyboard, sorry. Peace IMA

Greetings all and happy holidays. My wife and I were at that TC meeting and it was so uncomfortable just to be there. The young man was exhorting the crowd in the tent to "Keep it simple" and that set LCM off on his diatribe. I remember as the words were coming out of his mouth We were cringing in our chairs, not because the young man was wrong, but I guess only LCM and his ego could give direction at "HIS" meeting and we knew what was comming. It was L#$RY Pan^&*$%o who LCM sent to clean up his mess. I must admit at the time I thought it was funny, But it must have been humiliating for the guy and I'm sorry I felt that way. It would have been so easy to have handled it in a kind and loving manner but bullies will do what bullies do. One either earns another's respect through love or intimidates with fear. LCM always chose the latter. Peace and Blessings IMA

Wayfer, Did you ever stop to think that this event was orchestrated not by the adversary to attach, but by your loving Heavenly Father to protect you from somehting. Sometimes in our senses brains we one way when just the opposite is true. Who knows what would have happened had you left on time. God is GOOD all the Time thats what I believe is the greater focus God would wan't us to have. We are not being punished for leaving the ministry, That was one of the scare tactics they used to keep you there. We are not veiwed by God by what ministry we belong to but by our alliegance and love for him according to our personal relationship with him. Relax and enjoy your walk with God the way you would wan't your children esteem you. Peace and Blessings Ima In an insane society the sane must appear insane
