One Quiet Moment

We look forward to the time when the power of love will replace the love of power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
William Ewart Gladstone

“4 Worms In Church”
Four worms and a lesson to be learned!!!!
A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. 

Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
 

The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
 

The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.
 

The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup..
 

The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil.
 

At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results:

The first worm in alcohol . . .
 . . . Dead . 


The second worm in cigarette smoke . . . Dead . 


Third worm in chocolate syrup . . . . Dead. 
Fourth worm in good clean soil . . . Alive  


So the Minister asked the congregation,
 

"What did you learn from this demonstration?"
 





Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said . . .
 
"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate,
 

you won't have worms!"

That pretty much ended the service
!
Today is International Disturbed People's Day.

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
