Christian Fun - Part 2!
Watch Your Driving!
There was a woman driving a car and she was obviously stressed out and in a hurry. She would honk at the car in front, which was doing the speed limit. She was flipping it off, yelling, and when she missed the light because of that car, she was yelling and waving her fist out the window. Then she heard a knock at her window and a police officer was standing there. He told her he was going to have to take her to the police station, so he handcuffed her, read her her rights, and drove her to the station. She didn't know what she did that was so wrong. He came back after awhile and said "I apologize and you are free to go. When I saw your car had 'What Would Jesus Do' and 'Follow me to Sunday School' bumper stickers, plus the Christian fish and other Christian signs on it, with the way you were acting toward the other driver - I just assumed you had stolen the car."

Being a Christian is like being a pumpkin.
God lifts you up, takes you in and washes all the dirt off of you. He opens you up,
touches you deep inside and scoops out all the yucky stuff, including the seeds of doubt, hate, greed, etc. Then, He carves you a new smiling face and puts His light inside you to shine for all the world to see!
To quote our Pastor Hinchey:
The sermon had a point about people thinking they they are in charge, and in control of making their own plans in life. He related that when he and his wife planned out their future and retirement, God dropped a baby in need in their laps, and life's plan completely changed.
"If you want to make God laugh, tell Him YOUR plan!"

A Tomato?
Back when my sister was about 5 or 6 years old, we were watching a storm from our house in Colorado Springs. We saw a funnel cloud in the distance, toward the foothills south of us. We watched it and saw a tornado form. When we spoke about it, and saw it was likely touching down (and yes, it did touch down and
destroyed part of a gas station), my sister exclaimed "it's the tomato that hit Manitou Springs!"
Who would you take?
You are driving past a bus stop during a snow storm, and you notice your best friend standing there (who, incidentally, had just saved your life last week). When you stop, you find out there is also a woman waiting to get to the hospital, in need. There is also a very attractive person who could turn out to be the love of your
life. Since your car only seats two people, who do you give a ride to, knowing you cannot fit any more than two people in your car (not able to put anyone in the trunk or riding on top)?
The best answer is: you give your keys to your best friend, and have him drive the woman to the hospital. You get out of the car and stand at the bus stop, waiting with the potential love of your life, taking the time to talk to this person!
You know you live in 2006 when.....
1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.

6. You pull up into the driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you with the groceries.
7. Every commercial has a web site address at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have for the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now cause for panic and you turn around to go get it.
10. You get up in the morning and stand in line for your morning coffee.
11. You start tilting your head to smile. :)
12. You're reading this, nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly who you are going to forward this to.
14. You watch reality shows to fulfill your dreams of life.
15. You were too busy laughing to realize there was no # 9 on this list.
16. You actually scrolled back up to make sure there was no # 9.
