TODAY'S SMILE

An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, "Honey, can you hear me?"

There was no response. He moved a little closer and said again, "Honey, can you hear me?" Still, there was no response.

Finally he moved right behind her and said, "Honey, can you hear me?" She replied, For the third time, Yes

ONE MORE…

Every year, Smitty and his wife Martha went to the State Fair. And every year, Smitty would say, "Martha, I'd like to ride in that there airplane." And every year, Martha would reply, "I know, Smitty, but that airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

This one year Smitty and Martha went to the fair and Smitty said, "Martha, I'm 71 years old. If I don't ride that airplane this year I may never get another chance. " Martha replied, "Smitty, that there airplane ride costs ten dollars, and ten dollars is ten dollars."

The pilot overheard them and said, "Folks, I'll make you a deal. I'll take you both up for a ride. If you can stay quiet for the entire ride and not say one word, I won't charge you, but if you say one word it's ten dollars."

Smitty and Martha agreed, and up they went. The pilot performed all kinds of twists and turns, rolls and dives, but not a word is heard. He even does a nose dive, pulling up 15 feet above the ground, but still not a word.

They land and the pilot turns to Smitty, "By golly, I did everything I could think of to get you to yell out, but you didn't." Smitty replied, Well, I was gonna say something when Martha fell out, but ten dollars is ten dollars!

TODAY'S REFLECTION

Jesus said to them, Come and have breakfast

John 21:12

The Bible tells us that the third time Jesus appeared after his resurrection was to Peter and some of his disciples who were fishing on the Sea of Tiberius. When they saw him, Peter was so excited that he jumped in the water and swam ashore, followed by the others in the boat.

They found Jesus cooking breakfast for them

We do not worship a Creator who is a heavenly body that is no earthly good. God loves each and every one of us and he knows our needs.
