Sky Watch!



Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.
-- Phillips Brooks



There is a harmony in autumn, and a luster in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley



The lands are lit with all the autumn blaze of golden-rod, and everywhere the purple asters nod and bend and wave and flit.
-- Helen Hunt

Remembering 9/11

May we never forget! May we always search for peace and love and understanding and offer it to others.

Did You Know ????

Celibacy

 
What is Celibacy?
Celibacy can be a choice in life, or a condition imposed by circumstances.

While attending a Marriage Weekend, Frank and his wife Ann listened to the instructor declare, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other."
He then addressed the men.

"Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?"
Frank leaned over, touched Ann's arm gently, and whispered,

"Gold Medal-All-Purpose, Isn't it?"

And thus began Frank's life of celibacy.

One Quiet Moment



Have a heart that never hardens, a temper that never tires, a touch that never hurts.
Charles Dickens



As I've Said Before -- Don't Mess With the Old Guys!!!

Jim was an old man.

He was sick and in the hospital.

There was one nurse that just drove him crazy.
Every time she came in, she would talk
to him like he was a little child.

She would say in a patronizing tone of voice,
’And how are we doing this morning',

or 'Are we ready for a bath', or 'Are we hungry?'  

Old Jim had had enough of this particular nurse.

One day, at breakfast,
Old Jim took the apple juice off the
tray and put it in his bed side stand.
Next, he was given a urine bottle
to fill for testing.

So you know where the juice went!

The nurse came in a little later, picked
up the urine bottle and looked at it.
'My, it seems we are a little cloudy today. '

At this, Old Jim snatched the bottle
out of her hand, popped off the top,
and drank it down, saying,
'Well, I'll run it through again.
Maybe I can filter it better this time.'

The nurse fainted!

Old Jim just smiled!

As I said -- don't mess with old men -- or women either for that matter!!!

The best portion of a good man's life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
-- William Wordsworth



Sunday Smiles -- Well, Belly Laugh This Sunday!!

 My neighbor was working in his yard when he was startled by a late model
 car that came crashing through his hedge and ended up in his front lawn.

He rushed to help an elderly lady driver out of the car and sat her down
on a lawn chair.  He said with excitement, "you appear quite elderly to be
driving."

"Well, yes, I am," she replied proudly.  "I'll be 97 next month, and I am
 now old enough that I don't even need a driver's license anymore.
The last time I went to my doctor, he examined me and asked if I had a
 driver's license. I told him yes and handed it to him. He took scissors
 out of the drawer, cut the license into pieces, and threw them in the
 waste basket, saying, 'You won't need this anymore,' so I thanked him 
and left!"
