Happy Holloween... Well, I don't really mean that. Here is why!

Okay, so I couldn't resist. This is a very humerous foward but I must warn you that it is not for younger viewers. Be warned, it is quite funny!

A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring. He replies: "I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you"

She answers, " My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive."

"Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me." She responds, "Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic."

The cab driver is very excited and says,

"Yes, I'm single and Catholic!"

"OK" the nun says.

"Pull into the next alley." The nun fulfills his fantasy with a kiss that would make a hooker blush. But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.

"My dear child," said the nun, why are you crying?"

"Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish."

The nun says, "That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party."

Say Good bye!

Here is another controversial and funny forward....

An old man, a boy & a donkey were going to town. The boy rode on the donkey
& the old man walked. As they went along they passed some people who
remarked it was a shame the old man was walking & the boy was riding.

The man & boy thought maybe the critics were right, so they changed
positions.

Later, they passed some people that remarked, "What a shame, he makes that
little boy walk."

They then decided they both would walk! Soon they passed some more people
who thought they were stupid to walk when they had a decent donkey to ride.
So, they both rode the donkey.

Now they passed some people that shamed them by saying how awful to put such
a load on a poor donkey.

The boy & man said they were probably right, so they decide to carry the
donkey. As they crossed the bridge, they lost their grip on the animal & he
fell into the river and drowned.

The moral of the story ?

If you try to please everyone, you might as well...

Kiss your ass goodbye

Thanks for Giving! Thanks forgiving!



Hey gang,

It was a fanatastic thanksgiving weekend and thanks for all your prayers! Thanks for giving

We brought some of our own privately made Cranberry Sauce to the occasion. It is endorsed by Jagpaul himself. So, you are probaly wondering how we got the BIG DAWG! Well, God has his ways!

We also shared a gospel message about thanking God for forgiving us of our sins and restoring a broken relationship. Did you know that we were enemies with God?

"For if, when we were God's enemies..." (Romans 5:10).

It was sin that seperated us with God and made us his enemies. We all stand guilty of sin.

"...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (3:23)

There was a price to pay for our sins:

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (6:23)

It was pay back time but God loved us so much that he decided to pay that price for our sin. He sent Jesus to bring reconciliation or restoration of that broken relationship:

"we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!" (5:10b)

Why would God do such a thing? Well because he loved us:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

Here are some of the photo hightlights of the weekend:

So, our Cranberry sauce can walk and talk! Here is T-Bone enjoying a little time inside the Can

I just love Cranberry especially Jagpal brand. Did you know that there are arm rests inside the can? It is quite comfortable. It is made with a lot of love in mind...

It is crantastic! You will just feel like you have ascended to Seventh Heaven if you try it! Not the can of course but the sweentness inside! But you have to try it yourself to understand.

For those weight watchers out there, I know what you are about to ask! What are the ingredients? What is the secret to the sweetness?

It is a wack load of prayer from the Saints!

Fear of the Lord

The Bible speaks much about the fear of the Lord. Who can forget that world famous Bible verse, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge...," (Proverbs 1:7) I remember in my Old Testament class, our teacher asked us to explain what the fear of the Lord is. So, I, a budding, brand, spanking new Christian decided to enlighten the class with my vast knowledge on the fear of the Lord.

I told him that the fear of the Lord had to do with standing in awe of God like so many preachers have said. It didn't really have to do with being scared of God. Dr. Abegg warmly invited my observation and politely said, "Yeah, I've heard many preachers say that... but I don't agree with them." He talked about have a real fear of God to the point of being afraid of him because He is just so holy, and powerful and huge etc.

I wasn't sure what to think of his comment until I read Exodus 20:18-21:

"18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die."
20 Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. God has come to test you, so that the fear of God will be with you to keep you from sinning."
21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was."

Now that is what I call the fear of the Lord! This verse really supports what he was saying!
