A Riddle
by Connie Hinnen Cook

What can stop the wind from blowing
where it wants to blow,
what can stop my heart from going
where it wants to go?
What can stop my loving you
forever and a day,
what can take God from my heart
and force me not to pray?

What is more than Jesus' love,
more awesome than His grace,
what is better than His joy
and what can take His place?
What if man were left alone
to save his sorry soul,
what could mankind do or say
to stop sin's final toll?

What's more vile than Satan's plan
to kill, steal and destroy,
what's more wicked than his dreams
for every girl and boy?
What could stop him triumphing
if Jesus turned His back,
what could block the devil's path
and thwart his next attack?

What do rich folks need more of
and don't have some to spare,
what do poor have plenty of,
in fact, more than their share?
And what, if stacked from end-to-end
could reach up to the sky,
and yet, if you ate all there was
then you would surely die!

The answer to this riddle,
as by now you've surely guessed,
is worthy of our worrying
until we're quite possessed...
It's what I'll make by writing this,
how much these words will bring:
it's Nothing, Nada, Zero, Zilch!
that's right ~ Not anything!!

~ Connie ~

"Ah, Lord GOD! behold, Thou hast made the heaven and the earth
by Thy great power and stretched out arm,
and there is nothing too hard for Thee:
Thou shewest lovingkindness unto thousands,
and recompensest the iniquity of the fathers
into the bosom of their children after them:
the Great, the Mighty God,
the LORD of hosts, is His name."
(Jeremiah 32:17-18 KJV)

How Come ...???? :):)

You Know You're From Alaska When......

.

. . .you are vacationing in Hawaii when a beautiful woman in a bikini walks by and you think, "Boy, I'd sure like to see her in a snowmobile suit."

.

 you know the meaning of the word "baleen" and it has nothing to do with making hay into large cubes.
.

If you are considering doing some camping this Spring and Summer, please note the following public service announcement:

In Alaska, tourists are warned to wear tiny bells on their clothing when hiking in bear country.

The bells warn away MOST bears (grizzly, black, etc.) but be careful because they don't scare Kodiak/brown bears.

Tourists are cautioned to watch the ground on the trail, paying particular attention to bear droppings to be alert for the presence of Kodiak/brown bears.

One can easily spot a Kodiak/brown bear's droppings. Those are the droppings that contain those tiny bells.
.


Fay Chester was a busy housewife with a demanding husband, six children and a large house. The only relief she got from her chores was the twice-a-week bridge game she shared with a dozen other women. The only flaw in the bridge club relationship was that Fay loved to tell off-color stories and the girls didn't want to hear them. To teach Fay a lesson, the other women decided that the next time she told an off-color story, they'd just get up, walk out, meet at another home but without Fay. Sure enough, at the next meeting, Fay started, "You know, girls, there's a rumor going around that a busload of prostitutes will be leaving in the morning for that big gold find up in Alaska, and they say...." Just then, the women all stood up and started for the door. Fay was disconcerted but only for a moment, then she understood what was going on and said, "Hey! Girls! Hold on, hold on! There's plenty of time 'cause the bus doesn't leave till morning!"

.

And

the worst ever Grooaannn!!!!

...

If mississippi wore her New Jersey, what did delaware? I don't know but alaska!

Solomon...Sheeba...and Bees

The Bee Queen

A Tale of the Talmud

When Solomon was reigning in his glory,
Unto his throne the Queen of Sheba came,
(So in the Talmud you may read the story)
Drawn by the magic of the monarch’s fame,
To see the splendors of his court, and bring
Some fitting tribute to the mighty king.

Nor this alone; much had her Highness heard
What flowers of learning graced the royal speech;
What gems of wisdom dropped with every word;
What wholesome lessons he was wont to teach
In pleasing proverbs; and she wished, in sooth,
To know if Rumor spoke the simple truth.

Besides, the queen had heard (which piqued her most)
How through the deepest riddles he could spy;
How all the curious arts that women boast
Were quite transparent to his piercing eye;
And so the queen had come–a royal guest–
To put the sage’s cunning to the test.

And straight she held before the monarch’s view,
In either hand, a radiant wreath of flowers;
The one, bedecked with every charming hue,
Was newly culled from Nature’s choicest bowers;
The other, no less fair in every part,
Was the rare product of divinest Art.

“Which is the true, and which the false?” she said,
Great Solomon was silent. All-amazed,
Each wondering courtier shook his puzzled head,
While at the garlands long the monarch gazed,
As one who sees a miracle, and fain,
For very rapture, ne’er would speak again.

“Which is the true?” once more the woman asked,
Pleased at the fond amazement of the king;
“So wise a head should not be hardly tasked,
Most learned liege, with such a trivial thing!”
But still the sage was silent; it was plain
A deepening doubt perplexed the royal brain.

While thus he pondered, presently he sees,
Hard by the casement,–so the story goes,–
A little band of busy, bustling bees,
Hunting for honey in a withered rose.
The monarch smiled, and raised his royal head;
“Open the window!”–that was all he said.

The window opened at the king’s command;
Within the room the eager insects flew,
And sought the flowers in Sheba’s dexter hand!
And so the king and all the courtiers knew
That wreath was Nature’s; and the baffled queen
Returned to tell the wonders she had seen.

My story teaches (every tale should bear
A fitting moral) that the wise may find
In trifles light as atoms in the air,
Some useful lesson to enrich the mind,
Some truth designed to profit or to please,–
As Israel’s king learned wisdom from the bees!
John G. Saxe.

Even Solomon had something to learn from the bees :)

I wonder now, about the birds :)

She held her tiny bottle high into the night sky every evening in the month of August. The warm breezes blew wisps of hair across her face as she closed her eyes and waited for dust from the wishing stars to slowing drift downward into the small glass vessel. No one believed it was stardust she captured in the magic bottle night after night. She smiled as she sealed the vial with a kiss. She knew the truth.

this took my "fancy" and imagination today...must be the clouds and the rain...:):)...but I'm sharing with you...we all need a touch of stardust..:)

“If you believe within your soul
Hold on tight... never let go…
Whatever you believe is meant to be
It surely will be your destiny…
So listen to your heart’s voice
When you need to make that choice…for,
It’s only your heart that you can trust
Believing  in yourself is a must..
 When it’s time for your dream to come true
Remember... God and the Angels are helping you…
So don’t give up though the pace seems slow
When it's time…You will know…”

Signing OUCH....whoops....Out....:)
Nov 19, 2009 | 1:42PM

Paddy was thinking of buying a coffee maker
but was concerned it might be too complicated to operate.
The salesman assured him it was easy to use.
"You simply put in the coffee and filter, fill the reservoir with water,
slide the switch to auto and go to bed.
When you wake up you can enjoy a steaming hot cup of coffee"
A few weeks later Paddy ran into his friend O'Riley.
"Paddy me boy, how are you enjoying your new coffee maker?"
"I had to take the stupid thing back" said Paddy,
"every time Ifancied a cup of coffee I had to go to bed"

Be Back Later ;):)

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

It means we've looked beyond the imperfections..

On Waves Of Starlight
Nov 19, 2009 | 11:06AM

Aurora Producttions Greeting Card 

And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind... and God saw that it was good.
      --Genesis 1:21

*****

ON WAVES OF STARLIGHT


When dolphins dream they dream of stars,
Above the ocean's realm -
Starstruck by Saturn, Venus, Mars
And sights that overwhelm!
The planets move like eyes above
And stars like snowflakes fall...
Perhaps they signify God's love
Poured out on one and all...
Fluorescent flames of radiant power
Transcend both time and space,
Portraying precious gems each hour,
Outliving human grace...
The Universe seems full of life
Though mostly unexplored
And consciousness must battle strife
Till order is restored.
Thus dolphins line up in a team,
United, friend-by-friend...
A sovereign family meant to dream,
Till waves of starlight end...

Gotta Have The Right SEEDS :)
Nov 19, 2009 | 9:52AM

 

DONUT SEEDS!!!
They look an awful lot like Cheerios, but on Birthdays they become magic!
You have to get an early start or the magic will not have time to work.
First you find sticks in the yard for each member of the family. Then you let each member of the family decorate their flag and tape it to their stick.

Now get going, you're wasting precious time. All the seeds must be planted by 9 am or they will not have time to sprout by the end of your magical day.
Don't forget to sprinkle the dirt with the magical colored sprinkles you have in the baking cupboard!
Then you wait


And you find some dirt to play with as you wait.

You guessed it, just keep on waiting.



Then you go in and eat dinner and come back out only to see they still have not sprouted.
Only one thing to do...
Wait some more.

Then you go in to watch a movie. You'll have to be sad and wonder if it will really work.

Then you're sitting on the couch mindlessly watching the boob tube when Daddy bursts through the door and drags everyone outside to see the strange things growing in the dirt!


It is just like MAGIC!

Then you open your mouth as wide as you can and shove as much of the gooey sweetness in as you possibly can.

Then all the children will declare the need to plant donut seeds for every Birthday forever and for forever more
That birthday treat went faster than any old frosted cake with candles ever could.
