CATCH IT!


I Hope this catches U the way it caught me!


In light of the many perversions and jokes we send along to one another for a laugh, this is a little different:This joke today is not intended to be a joke, it's not intended to be funny, it's intended to get you thinking.


A prominent American's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could God let something like this happen?"
(Regarding the attacks on September 11)


Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.
She said, "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is,I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"


In light of recent events...terrorists attack, school shootings, etc, I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her bodyfound recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools, and we said OK. Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school...the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.
And we said OK.


Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we mightdamage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.
And we said OK.


Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms theywant so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.
And we said OK.


Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. Agreeing with them, we said it doesn'tmatter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.


Then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body.
And we said OK.


And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then further again by making them available on the Internet.
And we said OK, they're entitled to free speech.


Then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. Let's record music thatencourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.


Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to killstrangers, their classmates, and themselves.


Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out!


I think it has a great deal to do with
"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."


Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, butquestion what the Bible says.


Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, peoplethink twice about sharing. Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of God issuppressed in the school and workplace.


Are you laughing?


Funny how when you forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it.
Funny how we can be more worried about what other people think of us than what God thinks of us.


Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not then just discard it... No one will know you did. But, if you discard this thought process, don't sit back and complain about what bad shape the world is in!


Are you thinking?

although i'm not christian, but i still find this meaningful

heres another 1:


LAw OF the Seed
This is a very good piece of thought.

Read carefully and relate it to your life.

The Law of the SeedTake a look at an apple tree. There might be five hundred apples on the tree and each apple has ten seeds. That's a lot of seeds!

We might ask, "Why would you need so many seeds to grow just a fewmore apple trees?"

Nature has something to teach us here.

It's telling us: “Not all seeds grow. In life, most seeds never grow”.

So if you really want to make something happen, you had better try more than once."

This might mean:You'll attend twenty interviews to get one job. You'll interview forty people to find one good employee.

You'll talk to fifty people to sell one house, one car, one vacuum cleaner, one insurance policy, or a business idea

When we understand the "Law of the Seed", we don't get so disappointed.

We stop feeling like victims.

We learn how to deal with things that happen to us.

Laws of nature are not things to take personally.We just need to understand them - and work with them.

IN A NUTSHELLSuccessful people fail more often. But they plant more seeds.

When things are beyond your control, here's something that you mustNOT DO so as to avoid misery in your life:

- You must not decide how you think the world SHOULD be.

- You must not make rules for how everyone SHOULD behave.

- Then, when the world doesn't obey your rules, you get angry!

- That's what miserable people do!

On the other hand, let's say you expect that:

-Friends SHOULD return favours.-People SHOULD appreciate you.

-Planes SHOULD arrive on time.-Everyone SHOULD be honest.

- Your husband or best friend SHOULD remember your birthday

These expectations may sound reasonable. But often, these things won'thappen!

So you end up frustrated and disappointed.

There's a better strategy:Demand less, and instead, have preferences!

For things that are beyond your control, tell yourself:

"I would prefer this, but if that happens, it’s OK too!"

This is really a change in mindset. It is a shift in attitude, and it gives you more peace of mind ...

You prefer that people are polite ... but when they are rude, it doesn't ruin your day. You prefer sunshine ... but if it rains, it is ok too!

To become happier, we either need to:a) Change the world, or  b) Change our thinking.It is easier to change our Thinking!

IN A NUTSHELLIt is not the problem that is the issue, but rather it is your attitude attending to the problem that is the problem.

It's not what happens to you that determines your happiness.It's how you think about what happens to you!

(end)

quite meaningful 2!

this is the longest post!
