Smokymtnsanta -> Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:06:46 PM)

I have posted a lot of Inspirations that I receive from friends over the past several weeks and it takes up a lot of space on these threads. At the suggestion of a very wise one (no names mentioned) I will try to post them under this thread only. I hope this works for the best.
And thanks for reading my posts. God Bless.

Thank you, Santa! That will keep threads from falling off the front page as fast.[:)]



Smokymtnsanta -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:15:12 PM)

You are welcome. Gotta try to do my best.



Kerrlaw -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:15:29 PM)

Thank you, Santa.

Now we won't have to look all over the folder if we want to re-read an inspirational piece. And the older ones will be exposed to new readers.

Edited to say that I cross-posted with Daniel.



Smokymtnsanta -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:17:59 PM)

True. I wish now I had done this before so all the ones before Easter were in one place. There were some really good ones there.



GVfan -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:21:51 PM)

Great idea. Sure makes it handy for everyone!



danielmount -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:34:59 PM)

My only problem with the thread title is it got me hoping for some music by a certain favorite quartet under that Christmas tree!



Kerrlaw -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:37:35 PM)

I knew you were going to say that.[sm=cooltilt.gif]

How did you know, O Great One?



Kerrlaw -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 2:52:24 PM)

Because I was saving it for later, but you beat me to it.



Smokymtnsanta -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 6:36:45 PM)

If there was a way to add music to this thread, I would do it just for you both. Christmas music is my favorite and of course RED is my favorite color.



Smokymtnsanta -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/11/2007 6:50:53 PM)

I do know we are long past the Christmas season, but I wanted to share with my friends on the forum this story that appeared in the Gainesville Times newspaper in Georgia on Dec. 24, 2006. I was working at Lake Lanier Islands Resort during the season. I hope you don't mind a little Santa story today.
Just click on link below. Thanks, God Bless!

Very good. You are a great Santa.

About those Church Hymns

A minister decided to do something a little different one Sunday morning. He said "Today, in church, I am going to say a single word and you are going to help me preach.
Whatever single word I say, I want you to sing whatever hymn that comes to your mind."
The pastor shouted out "CROSS."
Immediately the congregation started singing in unison, "THE OLD RUGGED CROSS."
The pastor hollered out "GRACE." The congregation began to sing "AMAZING GRACE, how sweet the sound."
The pastor said "POWER." The congregation sang "THERE IS POWER IN THE BLOOD."
The Pastor said "SEX" The congregation fell into total silence.
Everyone was in shock. They all nervously began to look around at each other afraid to say anything.
Then all of a sudden, way from in the back of the church, a little old 87 year old grandmother stood up and began to sing "PRECIOUS MEMORIES."

Gotta Love Little Old Ladies.
Laugh... it burns calories.

How about this one Santa?

From a strictly Mathematical Viewpoint:

What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these Questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 1 9 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.



Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

And

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

AND, look how far the love of God will take you

L- O- V- E-O-F-G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:
While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

I like that post qtman. Thanks. I had seen that before but had forgotten about it.
Have a great day.

"CELL PHONE vs. BIBLE"

I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone?
What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?
What if we flipped through it several times a day?
What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?
What if we used it to receive messages from the text?
What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?
What if we gave it to kids as gifts?
What if we used it when we traveled?
What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible? Makes you stop and
think "where are my priorities?"

Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our
Bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

And no dropped calls!

Santa,

You need to contact Jason about the T-Shirts DEB are selling. They are pretty sharp and pertain to this post.

qtman, I am not surprised that someone has that on a shirt. I hope they have sold a lot of them.

Tie My Shoes

There is an old story about a mother who walks in on her
six-year-old son and finds him sobbing. "What's the matter?"
she asks.

"I've just figured out how to tie my shoes."

"Well, honey, that's wonderful." Being a wise mother, she
recognizes his victory in the Eriksonian struggle of
autonomy versus doubt: "You're growing up, but why are you
crying?"

"Because," he says, "now I'll have to do it every day for
the rest of my life."



Kerrlaw -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/19/2007 11:32:01 AM)

That's how I felt about shaving.



danielmount -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/19/2007 12:53:34 PM)

And that's how I felt about learning how to drive.[:@]



MattPaasch -> RE: Inspirations From Santa (4/19/2007 1:35:06 PM)

That's how I felt about math!!! [sm=crazy.gif]
