COAL BASKET BIBLE The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out  Bible. His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could. One day the grandson asked, "Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Bible do?" The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and said, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water." The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before he could get back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, "You will have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran ...

God was just about done creating man, but he had two things left over  in his bag and he couldn't quite decide how to split them between  Adam and Eve. He thought he might just as well ask them.  He told them one of the things he had left was a thing that would  allow the owner to pee while standing up. "It's a very handy thing," God told them, and I was wondering if  either one of you had a preference for it." Well, Adam jumped up and  down and begged, "Oh, please, it seems like just the sort of thing a  man should have. Please! Pleeease! Give it to me!" On and on he went like an excited little boy. Eve just smiled and told  God that if Adam really wanted it soo badly, he could have it. So God  gave Adam the thing that allowed him to pee standing up. Adam was so  excited he just started whizzing all over the place - first on the  side of a rock, then he wrote his name in the sand, and then to see if  he could hit a st...

The answer is in the Bible... Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right' (Matthew 25:33) Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat.    They did and filled the boat with fish. John 21:6 (NIV) ... He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." > When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish."  Origin of Left & Right...  I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the "right"   and Liberals are called the "left". By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:   Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV)  "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left." Thus sayeth the Lord.   Amen.  It surely can't get any simpler than that. Spelling Less...

T WO LAWS IN THE HEBREW SCRIPTURES (OLD TESTAMENT) WERE FULFILLED  ON THE SAME DAY FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T HEARD, WASHINGTON STATE RECENTLY PASSED TWO   LANDMARK LAWS: "GAY MARRIAGE" AND THE "LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA." THE FACT THAT GAY MARRIAGE AND MARIJUANA WERE LEGALIZED ON THE   SAME DAY MAKES PERFECT BIBLICAL SENSE BECAUSE: LEVITICUS 20:13   SAYS: "IF A MAN LIES WITH ANOTHER MAN, THEY SHOULD BOTH BE   STONED.” WE JUST HADN'T INTERPRETED IT CORRECTLY.

Forward this conversation [F] ss D ID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS? I SURE DIDN'T TILL NOW Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death! Make a personal reflection about this....... Very interesting, read until the end....... It is written in the Bible (Galatians 6:7): ' Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap.... Here are some men and women who mocked God : John Lennon (Singer): Some years before, during his interview with an American Magazine, he said: 'Christianity will end, it will disappear. I do not have to argue about that... I am certain. Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, today we are more famous than Him' (1966). Lennon, after saying that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, was shot six times. Tancredo Neves (President of Brazil ): During the Presidential campaign, he said if he got 500,000 votes from his party, not even God would...
