FLORIDA COURT SETS
ATHEIST HOLY DAY
In Florida , an atheist created a case
against the upcoming Easter and
Passover holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination
case
against Christians, Jews and observances of their holy days. The
argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized
days. The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the
passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel
declaring, "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your
honor, how can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have
Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur
and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such
holidays."
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your
client,
counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we
are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists." The
judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day.
Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no
God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that if your client
says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is
his day. Court is adjourned."

I dialed a number and got the following recording:
"I am not available right now, but
Thank you for caring enough to call.
I am making some changes in my life.
Please leave a message after the
Beep. If I do not return your call,
You are one of the changes."

The quote of the month is by Jay Leno:
"With hurricanes, tornados, fires out of control, mud slides, flooding,
severe thunderstorms tearing up the country from one end to another, and
with the threat of bird flu and terrorist attacks, "Are we sure this is
a good time to take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

Gone
From My Sight
by
Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white
sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an
object of beauty and strength, and I stand and watch until at last she
hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come down to
mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, "There she
goes!"
Gone where? Gone from my sight ... that is all. She is just as large in
mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able
to bear her load of living freight to the place of destination. Her
diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone
at my side says, "there she goes!", there are other eyes
watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout,
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying.
May today there be peace
within you.
May you trust God that you are exactly where
you are meant to be.
"I believe that friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when
our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
