"It is better to deserve
honors and not have them than to have them and not deserve
them."
Mark Twain
Gray hair is a crown
of glory; it is gained by living a Godly life. The glory of
the young is their strength;
the gray hair of experience is the splendor of the old.
Proverbs 16:31, 20-20
Do You Remember?
The most useless day of all
is that in which we have not laughed. Laughter is sunshine
filling a room. And where there is laughter, there also
is life.
They say that people who laugh
a lot live longer than do the sour-faced. When we laugh
together, companionship thrives, and all praise is sincere.
Laughter's joy celebrates the
moment we are living right now. Shared, it grows and
thrives, and always returns to us when we need it most.

Did you hear
about the man who dreamed he ate a five-pound marshmallow?
When he woke up; his pillow was missing.
Three friends die
in a car crash, and they find themselves at the Gates of Heaven.
Before entering, they are each asked a question by St. Peter
himself.
"When you are in your casket and friends
and family are mourning upon you,
what would you like to hear them say about you?" asks St.
Peter.
The first guy says, "I would like to
hear them say that
I was a great doctor and a great family man."
The second guy says, "I would like
to hear that I was a
wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge difference
in our children."
The last guy replies. "I would like
to hear them say.... LOOK!!! HE'S MOVING!!!!!"
