Well … remember when I said that spring was finally here? I spoke too soon. We had another freeze warning last night and it’s cold again and I had to turn the darn heat back on. 

To add insult to injury, my water heater went out. In fact, the repairman just left after his initial visit. Not a quick fix like I had hoped. I need a replacement. Today is Friday, he’s headed back to the shop to see if he can get it done today or if it’s going to have to wait until Monday. 

Full replacement, plus a whole house filter (which I’ve been meaning to do for a while now since we have such terrible water here) $4k.  Comes with 2 years of carry-on service. It could have come at a worse time … 

And it’s  now 2 hours later and they are here replacing my water heater! Yay! Couple of really good guys. Working hard and doing a good job. I’ll keep you guys abreast of what’s going on but for now…

Then I wish he would act more like it.

Those are some great granddaughters.

Little Morris asked his aunt Sadie how old she was. 

….”39 and holding,” replied Auntie Sadie.

Little Morris thought for a moment, then said, “And how old would you be if you let go?” 

“And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”  Matthew 22:39 “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.” John 13:34

We discussed how hard this is at the jail the other night. The guy who cuts you off in traffic, the person who bumps into you at the grocery and then doesn’t even have the courtesy to apologize or worse, blames you. There are much worse examples I could use. We are not only supposed to forgive these people, but love them … as we love ourselves. How HARD that is! But, that is the expectation … the requirement.

A stockbroker was cold calling about a penny stock and found Morris a client. ‘I think this one will really move said the broker, it’s only $1 a share now ‘. 

OK buy me 1000 shares said Morris. The next day the stock was at $2. 

The client called the broker and said you were right, give me 5000 more shares. 

The next day Morris looked in the paper and the stock was at $4. 

The client ran to the phone and called the broker, get me 10,000 more shares said Morris. Great said the broker. 

The next day the client looked in the paper and the stock was at $9. 

Seeing what a great profit he had in just a few days, Morris phoned and told the broker, “Sell all my shares.” 

The broker said, “To whom? You were the only one buying that stock.” 

I agree!!!!!

So very true, do we have any idea at all how many people do not have these things?

A German tourist walks into a McDonald’s in New York City and orders a beer. 

The local guy in the line behind him immediately gives him a verbal jab, “They don’t serve beer here, you moron!” 

The German fellow felt embarrassed, however he turned to the New Yorker with a surprised look on his face and begins to chuckle. 

“And what’s so funny?” the New Yorker demands. 

“Oh, nothing really, I just realized how stupid you are. You came here for the food!” 

When the new patient was settled comfortably on the couch, the psychiatrist began his therapy session. 

“I’m not aware of your problem,” the doctor said. “So perhaps, you should start at the very beginning.” 

“Of course,” replied the patient. “In the beginning, I created the Heavens and the Earth…”

Ole died. So Lena went to the local paper to put a notice in the obituaries. 

The gentleman at the counter, after offering his condolences, asked Lena what she would like to say about Ole.

Lena replied, “You just put, ‘Ole died.'”

The gentleman, somewhat perplexed, said, “That’s it? Just ‘Ole died?’ Surely, there must be something more you’d like to say about Ole. If it’s money you’re concerned about, the first five words are free. We really should say something more.”

So Lena pondered for a few minutes and finally said, “O.K., then. You put ‘Ole died. Boat for sale.'”

And that is what it’s all about.

And for the rest of us, say, “It’s about time!”

The attractive wife told her husband she was going on vacation with a girlfriend, but she really went with her long time wealthy lover, who gave her a beautiful $10,000 mink coat.

But she couldn’t bring it home so she figured a way. She pawned the mink coat. 

She came home and told her husband she had found a pawn ticket, which was really the pawn ticket to her mink coat; and she asked her husband to find out what had been pawned.

Her husband returned and told his wife it was a cheap watch. The next day his secretary was wearing a $10,000 mink coat.

McTavish broke the habit of a lifetime and bought two tickets for a raffle. 

One of his tickets won a £1,000 prize. 

He was asked how he felt about his big win.

“Disappointed” said  McTavish. “My other ticket didn’t win anything” 

And that’s it…and I have a new water heater and whole house water filter! These guys did a GREAT job, even if I’m now $4k poorer than I was this morning. I am pleased. I keep telling myself, it’s just money. LOL! God’s blessings will see me through.

So, until then my dear friends, …
