QUOTE OF THE WEEK

The man of the cloth was talking about the relationship between fact & faith. "That you are sitting before me in this church, is fact" he said. "That I am standing here, speaking from this pulpit, is fact. That I believe anyone is listening to me is faith".

 

STAR SHINE

Star -shine in her eye's, that particular movement which , just

sends me WILD, precedes me up the well of

Stairs, around  the bend and into the room beyond.

Cut to the quick I am, that feeling of bitter hurt and pain. Is

it just me or is it everyone like me who suffers

the  rejection of the RSL, WEST'S, ST. GEORGE....   .  Like me?

Then there are others like me.

 

The flood.

Funny things that happen at  different places and times.

One Easter when we where camped at Diamond Head.

One night, we had a very heavy rainstorm that flooded the camp area.

I was camped in my van on the only site that never flooded.

It was the only campsite left because I was the last to arrive.

The camper who saved the site for me, said, "I am camped in the best site in this area."

But after the flood it looked like a lake with 200mm of water running  through it and he was not very  happy.

The challenge

Funny things that happen at  different places and times.

One day my sister's family and I were walking in the bush.

When the kids saw leaches they started crying and panicking.

The youngest was 4 years old  so she sat on the ground screaming, "Pick me up!" whilst trying to lift herself up by the toes.

THE EMU.

Funny things that happen at  different places and times.

One trip we went on we arrived at a camp site and started to set up camp.

Then the kids saw an emu and seeing it was tame they started hand feeding it.

They played with the emu for some time but when it saw Kevin it went mad and attacked him.

kevin jumped into his car to get away from the emu so it just walked away and started to be fed by other campers.

Then Kevin got out of his car and started to walk to his tent.

When the emu saw him, it came running back to attack so Kevin jumped back into his car again.

But, this time, the emu ran round the car hissing and attacking the windows because it was savage.

It would have killed him if it could.

Then we looked at Kevin's baldy head with grey sides and his cream shirt and old blue stubbies.

With his hairy arms and legs he looked a bit like a big emu.

When Kevin changed his shirt, the emu just walked away and over  where some kids were hand-feeding other emus.

The Hat

 

One day, whilst wandering along a beach Tom found a funny looking felt hat. The hat was in such good condition that he picked it up and put it on. It felt so good that he kept it. Then he resumed walking along the beach. He came to some girls who went down on their knees and called him master.

 

Tom looked at them and asked what they were saying. They just said, "Master." So Tom took the hat off, the girls looked at him and said: "What are you looking at, old man?" He put the hat back on and started to walk along the beach. The girls went back down on their knees and said, "Sire." So it was the hat.

 

Tom beamed to himself and used the efficacy of the hat to get what he desired. The next morning the hat was gone, but where? He did not know. It felt as though he still had the hat on. The feeling was strong. He realised that the hat had entered his mind.

Tom tested his mind powers at the racetrack. He backed three horses in each race, for eight races. He got first second and third in every race.

 

In time, Tom learnt to use the power of the hat to travel all over the cosmos. All he had to do was think of a place and then he was there. Tom went to England to see the sights even the Queen. With his power of invisibility, nobody discovered that he was there--even in the safe of the bank of England.

 

Tom lived in an ordinary-looking Government housing but inside it was like a luxurious palace with hundreds of rooms and servants. Anything he lacked came just by thinking of it. Tom lived in luxury whilst collecting unemployment benefits. If he wanted lollies, ice creams or chocolates, they were there--food, drinks--anything he coveted. When Tom went outside, he looked so pitiful every one thought he didn't have any money to his name.

 

After a while, he found that he was unhappy with the ability. Therefore, he wanted to get rid of the power--but he did not know how. Tom discovered life was no longer a challenge with this power. Then Tom realised the powers of his mind were too fearful for any one to use so he must keep them to him self forever. Too much of a good thing is not fun.
