A father passing by his son's bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then he saw an envelope propped up prominently on the centre of the bed. It was addressed, "Dad". With the worst premonition, he opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands: Dear Dad, It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I had to elope with my new girlfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Mum and you. I've been finding real passion with Joan and she is so nice, even with all her piercings, tattoos, and her tight Motorcycle clothes. But it's not only the passion dad, she's pregnant and Joan said that we will be very happy. Even though you won't care for her as she is so much older than I, she already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. She wants to have many more children with me and that's now one of my dreams too. Joan taught me that marijuana doesn't really hurt anyone and we'll be growing it for us and trading it with her friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Joan can get better; she sure deserves it!! Don't worry Dad, I'm 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I'm sure we'll be back to visit so you can get to know your grandchildren. Your son, John
PS: Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at the neighbor's house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that's in my desk center drawer. I love you!Call when it is safe for me to come home.

Read only if you have time for God
Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom., I thought...I don't have time for this... And ... this is really inappropriate during work.
Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is exactly what has caused lot of the problems in our world today.
We do like to have Him around during sickness... And, of course, at funerals.
However, we don't have time, or room, for Him during work or play... Because that's the part of our lives we think we can, and should, handle on our own. May God forgive me for ever thinking...
That there is a time or place where...HE is not to be FIRST in my life.
We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.
If you aren't ashamed to do this...Please follow the directions. Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father."Not ashamed?
Yes, I do Love God. HE is my source of existence and Savior.
He keeps me functioning each and every day.
Without Him, I will be nothing. But, with Christ, He strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
This is the simplest test.
THE POEM
I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do. I had to hurry and get to work for bills would soon be due. So I knelt and said a hurried prayer and jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done. My soul could rest at ease.
All day long I had no time to spread a word of cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friends, they'd laugh at me I'd fear. No time, no time, too much to do
That was my constant cry, no time to give to souls in need ...
But, at last, the time, the time to die.
I went before the Lord. I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book; It was the book of life.
God looked into his book and said "Your name I cannot find I once was going to write it down ...But never found the time." Make sure that you scroll through to the end. Easy vs. Hard Why is it so hard to tell the truth but yet so easy to tell a lie?
Why are we so sleepy in church but right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?
Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?
Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?
Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?
Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?
Do you give up? Think about it. Just remember - God is watching you. Prayer Wheel-Let's see the devil stop this one!
Of all the free gifts we may receive, prayer is the very best one...
There are no costs, but wonderful rewards ... GOD BLESS!
May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn't give you chills, nothing will ... This message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this story. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of the title on it? Notes: Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).

To my angels
This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven, he saw me, and he asked: "My child, what is your greatest wish for today?"
I responded: " Lord, please take care of the person who is reading this message , their family and their special friends.
They deserve it, and I love them very much". The love of God is like the ocean: you can see its beginning, but not it's end.
Angels exist, but sometimes, since they don't all have wings, we call them friends, such as you.
take care my angels!
