Suspicious Mother « Result #1 on Mar 12, 2009, 9:51pm »
Brian invited his mother over for dinner. During the course of the meal, Brian's mother couldn't help but keep noticing how beautiful Brian's roommate, Stephanie, was.
Brian's Mom had long been suspicious of a relationship between Brian and Stephanie, and this had only made her more curious. Over the course of the evening, while watching the two react, she started to wonder if there was more between Brian and Stephanie than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, Brian volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you Stephanie and I are just roommates."
About a week later, Stephanie came to Brian saying, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" Brian said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll send her an e-mail just to be sure". So he sat down and wrote:
"Dear Mom: I'm not saying that you "did" take the gravy ladle from the house; I'm not saying that you "did not" take the gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for
dinner. Love, Brian".
Several days later, Brian received an email back from his mother that read:
"Dear Son: I'm not saying that you "do" sleep with Stephanie; I'm not saying that you "do not" sleep with Stephanie. But the fact remains that if Stephanie is sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom."
¡¡¡¡My husband asked me to go to the post office to mail his resume in anticipation of a job interview. He instructed me to send it the fastest way possible.
¡¡¡¡Struck by the urgency in his voice, I grabbed a handful of change and dashed out the door. Arriving at the post office, I rushed to the counter and breathlessly explained to the clerk that my envelope had to be delivered immediately . He casually weighed the envelope and said it would cost $ 10.03.I fumbled through my pockets and tallied up my coins. "But I don't have $ 10. 03, " I said. He punched some more buttons and said, "Okay, that will be $ 7. 40, ma am.
¡¡¡¡Once more I said in dismay, "Sorry, I don't have $ 7.40.
¡¡¡¡"Well," he sighed, "exactly how much do you have?"
¡¡¡¡I meekly answered, "I have exactly $ 2. 15, sir."
¡¡¡¡With that, he yelled over his shoulder to a coworker, "Hey, Charlie, get the pigeon ready.
The Easter Bunny « Result #3 on Feb 24, 2009, 10:51pm »
When I was a little girl, every Sunday my family of six would put on their best clothes and go to Sunday School and then church. The kids in elementary school would all meet together to sing songs, and then later divide into groups based on their ages.
One Easter Sunday,wow power leveling all the kids arrived with big eyes and big stories about what the Easter Bunny had brought. While all of the kids shared their stories with delight, one young boy, whom I will call Bobby, sat sullenly. One of the teachers, noticing this, said to him, wow gold "And what did the Easter Bunny bring you?" He replied, "My mom locked the door on accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get inside."
This sounded like a reasonable idea to all of us kids,wow power leveling so we kept on going with the stories. My mom knew the true story, though. Bobby's mom was a single parent, and she suspected that they just couldn't afford the Easter Bunny.
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to church. When my dad came to meet us my mom announced that we were going home instead. At home, wow power leveling she explained that to make Bobby feel better, we were going to pretend to be the Easter Bunny and make a basket of goodies for him and leave it at church. We all donated some of our candies to the basket, and headed back up to church. There,wow gold mom unzipped his coat, hung the basket over the hanger, and zipped up the coat and attached a note.
Dear Bobby, I'm sorry I missed your house last night.wow gold Happy Easter. Love, The Easter Bunny
The greatest game I have and will probably ever pl « Result #4 on Jul 12, 2007, 12:43am »
To some, Runescape is a way of life, almost like another world you can run to. You can do whatever you like (except for a few rules like offend other players and stuff), it is a free world out there.The whole idea of Runescape is very original, as it combines the ideas of real-time action, RPG and multiplayer games into a very basic program. What fascinates me the most is that your character is part of a diverse trade community, where every item, depending on its rarity, has an accepted "market value." You can make armor, mine ores, become a woodcutter, fish and cook fishes, and make bows and arrows and so much more. Your limit is your imagination.It's basically very similar to real life: improve your skills and make money off a particular trade, which will allow you to finance skills such as magic and ranged fighting that require a constant supply or runes and arrows respectively. You really get a sense of community in this game, because part of the gaming experience depends on the other players. When selling a commodity, a player can log on to a room that has a large amount of players, while those who want to train by fighting creatures without other people taking the kills may prefer to chose empty rooms. Although i'm not a member myself, it is possible to pay $5 a month and unlock tons of member benefits, including many new places to travel to, more items... etc.
RuneScape is a fun, challenging, and exciting game which is very important part of the life of many people.HAVE FUN!
You have to face God Almighty on Judgment Day « Result #5 on Jun 25, 2007, 6:35am »
You have to face God Almighty on Judgment Day. He sees lust as adultery (Matt. 5:28) and hatred as murder (1 John 3:15). Will you be guilty? Have you ever lusted after another person? If so, you’re an adulterer at heart Ever hated anyone? If so, you’re a murderer at heart. Have you ever told a lie(including fibs and white lies)? If so, then you’re a liar. Ever stolen(regardless of the value of the item)? Then you’re a thief. Ever jealously desired something that belonged to someone else(that is called covetousness)? If so, then you are a covetous idolater, as the Bible says in Colossians 3:5 that covetousness is Idolatry. Have you ever used God’s name in vain? That’s called blasphemy, which is serious in God’s sight, and God warns that he won’t hold those guiltless who use His name in vain(Exodus 20:7). Have you kept the First Commandment, to love God above all else and keep Him first in your life? Psalm 14:2-3 that all have turned aside and become corrupt, which means that NO ONE has kept God first, so it was already determined from the beginning that you would be guilty. Jesus took the punishment for your sins on the cross, and rose again defeating death, so that the demand for punishment by God’s Law could be satisfied while you could still be saved from everlasting suffering and torment in the Lake of Fire. The Lake of Fire exists because God is a Holy God, who cannot and will not allow sin to go unpunished, and if you don’t repent of your sins and accept His offer of mercy and forgiveness by trusting in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior while you are living on this earth, that’s where you’ll go, because ALL sin(even stealing 1 penny or telling a white lie) in God’s eyes is exceedingly sinful and wicked. You don’t get a second chance to repent after you die. Repent(turn from and forsake) of your sins and trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior today, because you may not have tomorrow. You’re not even guaranteed 2 more minutes. In fact, you’re not guaranteed 1 more second, and if you die without repenting of your sins and trusting Jesus Christ as your Savior, then the Lake of Fire will be your eternal home. Also, the Bible says that our good deeds won’t get us to Heaven(Ephesians 2:8-10), so just going to church, giving money to the poor, being nice to other people and all that, although it is good, it won’t get you into heaven. Only by repenting of your sins and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior will get you to Heaven. Trying to get to Heaven by any other way will land you in the Lake of Fire. So, repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior now, while you still have the chance! Pray this prayer: “God, I admit that I am a sinner and that I need you. I realize that my good works will not save me. Right now, I turn from my sins, and I put my 100% trust in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. Please forgive me of all my sins and cleanse me from them. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.” If you just prayed that prayer, and sincerely meant it, then you’ve been made whiter than snow and forgiven of your sins. To start out your Christian life, you need to pray to God everyday, read your bible every day, get into a good Bible-teaching Church, and then tell other people about Judgment Day and how Jesus Christ died on the cross to save them from their sins and from eternal torment in the Lake of Fire, and that if they turn from their sins and put their trust in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savoir, they can avoid going to the Lake of Fire.
Now, God's grace isn't so that you can just turn around and do your old sins with a blanket slip license to just indulge in sin all you want and go to Heaven, because that isn't the case.
Proverbs 28:13 says "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and FORSAKETH them shall have mercy."
So it isn't enough to just confess your sin and ask God to forgive you. You have to forsake that sin and try sincerely not to do it anymore. God can tell if you're sincere in asking for forgiveness, or if you're just looking for a way by which you can sin and get by with it. There's no such way, and if you keep indulging in sin, thinking that you can keep asking God to forgive you while you keep wallowing in the mud of sin, you're only fooling yourself. However, if you ask God to forgive you of that sin and are serious about turning from it, then you will receive God's mercy.
God doesn't leave Christians to fend for themselves and find out for themselves if they've sinned, as He sends the Holy Spirit to live in them, who will in turn sting their conscience(you can call it "feeling bad", if you will) when they have sinned(kind of like a "sin detector", if you will, to let them know that they have sinned and need to repent of it), to let them know that they have sinned, and if they turn from it and ask God's forgiveness, God forgives them. If the Christian decides He's going to live in sin, God will discipline the Christian at first and do things to get his attention, but if the Christian decides he wants nothing more to do with Jesus Christ and is going to love in sin, in spite of God's goodness and mercy, and in spite of God's discipline, then God turns them over to their sin, and they lose their salvation because Ezekiel 3:20 says
"Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand."
So, that means that a Christian can lose his righteous standing before God if he turns his back on God to seek him no more and insists on sinning after God disciplines him(note the stumbling block). I'm not saying that salvation is maintained by good works, because it's not. It's not gained by good works, and not maintained by good works. It's maintained by continuing to follow Jesus Christ and when you sin, you repent of it, turn from it, and ask God to forgive you and give you the strength to resist the temptation the next time you're tempted to do it.
