Jokes Etc / God Said No by MasterUwem(m): 1:51pm On Dec 24, 2007 |
and GOD said no I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said , Ahhhh, finally you have the idea. If you love God, send this to ten people and back to the person that sent it. THIS DAY IS YOURS DON'T THROW IT AWAY May God Bless You . "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world" [/b][b] |
Religion / Every Thing Happen For A Reason by MasterUwem(m): 1:37pm On Dec 24, 2007 |
Beautiful story, makes you understand that things happen for a reason The brand new pastor and his wife, newly assigned to their first ministry, to reopen a church in suburban Brooklyn , arrived in early October excited about their opportunities When they saw their church, it was very run down and needed much work. They set a goal to have everything done in time to have their first service on Christmas Eve. T hey worked hard, repairing pews, plastering walls, painting, etc, and on December 18 were ahead of schedule and just about finished. On December 19 a terrible tempest - a driving rainstorm hit the area and lasted for two days. O n the 21st, the pastor went over to the church. His heart sank when he saw that the roof had leaked, causing a large area of plaster about 20 feet by 8 feet to fall off the front wall of the sanctuary just behind the pulpit, beginning about head high. T he pastor cleaned up the mess on the floor, and not knowing what else to do but postpone the Christmas Eve service, headed home. On the way he noticed that a local business was having a flea market type sale for charity so he stopped in. One of the items was a beautiful, handmade, ivory colored, crocheted tablecloth with exquisite work, fine colors and a Cross embroidered right in the center. It was just the right size to cover up the hole in the front wall. He bought it and headed back to the church. B y this time it had started to snow. An older woman running from the opposite direction was trying to catch the bus, She missed it. The pastor invited her to wait in the warm church for the next bus 45 minutes later. She sat in a pew and paid no attention to the pastor while he got a ladder, hangers, etc., to put up the tablecloth as a wall tapestry. The pastor could hardly believe how beautiful it looked and it covered up the entire problem area. T hen he noticed the woman walking down the center aisle. Her face was like a sheet, "Pastor," she asked, "where did you get that tablecloth?" The pastor explained. The woman asked him to check the lower right corner to see if the initials, EBG were crocheted into it there. They were. These were the initials of the woman, and she had made this tablecloth 35 years before, in Austria T he woman could hardly believe it as the pastor told how he had just gotten the Tablecloth. The woman explained that before the war she and her husband were well-to-do people in Austria . When the Nazis came, she was forced to leave. Her husband was going to follow her the next week. He was captured, sent to prison and never saw her husband or her home again. T he pastor wanted to give her the tablecloth; but she made the pastor keep it for the church. The pastor insisted on driving her home, that was the least he could do, She lived on the other side of Staten Island and was only in Brooklyn for the day for a housecleaning job. W hat a wonderful service they had on Christmas Eve. The church was almost full. The music and the spirit were great. At the end of the service, the pastor and his wife greeted everyone at the door and many said that they would return. One older man, whom the pastor recognized from the neighborhood continued to sit in one of the pews and stare, and the pastor wondered why he wasn't leaving. T he man asked him where he got the tablecloth on the front wall because it was identical to one that his wife had made years ago when they lived in Austria before the war and how could there be two tablecloths so much alike. H e told the pastor how the Nazis came, how he forced his wife to flee for her safety and he was supposed to follow her, but he was arrested and put in a prison, He never saw his wife or his home again all the 35 years in between. T he pastor asked him if he would allow him to take him for a little ride. They drove to Staten Island and to the same house where the pastor had taken the woman three days earlier. H e helped the man climb the three flights of stairs to the woman's apartment, knocked on the door and he saw the greatest Christmas reunion he could ever imagine. T rue Story - submitted by Pastor Rob Reid Who says God does not work in mysterious ways, I asked the Lord to bless you as I prayed for you today, to guide you and protect you as you go along your way. His love is always with you, His promises are true, and when we give Him all our cares you know He will see us through. S o when the road you're traveling on seems difficult at best, Just remember I'm here praying and God will do the rest. Pass this on to those you want God to bless and don't forget to send it back to the one who asked God to bless you first. W hen there is nothing left but God, that is when you find out that God is all you need. Take 60 seconds and give this a shot! All you do is simply say the following small prayer for the person who sent you this. F ather, God, bless all my friends and family in what ever it is that You know they may be needing this day! May their life be full of your peace, prosperity and power as he/she seeks to have a closer relationship with you. Amen. T hen send it on to five other people, including the one who sent it to you. Within hours five people have prayed for you and you caused a multitude of people to pray for other people. Then sit back and watch the power of God work in your life. P. S. Five is good, but more is better. |
Religion / Cell Phone vs Bible by MasterUwem(m): 1:02pm On Dec 24, 2007 |
This is a Reality check for Real! CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we gave it to Kids as gifts? What if we used it when we travelled? What if we used it in case of emergency? This is something to make you go, hmm. Where is my Bible? Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill. Makes you stop and think "where are my priorities?" NO REJECTED calls! NO FLAT BATTERY !!!! NO "pls call me later" coz He will call on you ALL THE TIME!!!! P.S. DO WHAT YOU THINK GOD WOULD WANT YOU TO DO WITH THIS POST. |
Religion / Prayer For The Senate by MasterUwem(m): 12:42pm On Dec 24, 2007 |
AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING, I DESIRE THAT THE GRACE AND BURDEN OF PRAYER FOR YOUR NATIONS WILL COME ON YOU AND THAT YOU WILL PROPER INFORMATION TO PRAY WITH, LET US PRAY, FOR OUR NATIONS!! LET US PRAY, Thought you might enjoy this interesting Prayer given in Kansas at the opening session of their Senate. It seems Prayer still upsets some people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but this is what they heard: "Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem. We have abused power and called it politics. We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of ___expression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!" The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, logged more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of this prayer from India , Africa and Korea . Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired. With the Lord's help! , may this prayer sweep over our nation and whole heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "one nation Under God." If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. "If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything." Think about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail List, in less than 30 days it would be heard by the world. How many People in your address book will not receive this prayer, do you have the guts to pass it on? "OUTSTANDING PEOPLE HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON:AN ABSOLUTE SENSE OF MISSION " |

Sports / Mourinho Rejects England by MasterUwem(m): 1:20pm On Dec 11, 2007 |
Jose Mourinho has ruled himself out of the running to be Steve McClaren's successor. The former Chelsea manager said the job would have been "fantastic" but he had decided to remove himself from the list of candidates "after deep and serious thinking". It is understood Mourinho is in line for the coach's job at one of the leading continental club sides, but his decision leaves the Football Association with something of a headache to decide who to pursue from the four remaining candidates - Fabio Capello, Marcello Lippi, Martin O'Neill and Jurgen Klinsmann. Mourinho had been the clear favourite to become the next England manager and had held initial talks with FA executives Brian Barwick and Sir Trevor Brooking. The 44-year-old's commitment to taking the job was always in question though, something that was confirmed. Mourinho said in a statement: "After Steve McClaren left the England football team, my representatives maintained contact with the FA. "In that sense, I had myself useful discussions with Brian Barwick and Trevor where we exchanged ideas to evaluate the entire situation about the England squad and set the goals in case of real invitation being addressed to me. "After deep and serious thinking, I decided to exclude myself from being England manager despite it being a fantastic position for me. "I'm sure FA will hire a great manager, one able to place the team back where it belongs. "I reiterate my respect for English football and, after three good years in England, I firmly believe that the England squad will soon be back to their usual great results."
