HAVE A CHUCKLE
VIC AND DAVE WERE BEST FRIENDS, AND BOTH WERE DEAF. ONE MORNING, THEY’RE CHATTING WITH SIGN LANGUAGE DURING THEIR COFFEE BREAK, LAUGHING AND JOKING ABOUT THEIR LATE DRINKING SESSION, VIC SAYS TO DAVE, “WELL, MY WIFE, JANE, WAS FAST ASLEEP WHEN I GOT HOME, SO I WAS ABLE TO SNEAK INTO BED WITHOUT ANY TROUBLE.” “JEEZ,” SAID DAVE, “YOU WERE LUCKY.”MY WIFE, BARBARA, WAS WIDE AWAKE, WAITING UP FOR ME IN BED. THE MINUTE I ENTERED THE BEDROOM, SHE STARTED SWEARING AT ME AND GIVING ME HECK FOR BEING OUT SO LATE.” “OH, BUDDY, THAT’S AWFUL,” VIC RESPONDED. “SO, WHAT DID YOU DO?” DAVE SMILED AND THEN SAID, “I JUST TURNED OUT THE BEDROOM LIGHT.”

ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A KING WHO WANTED TO GO FISHING. SO, HE SUMMONED THE ROYAL METEOROLOGIST & ASKED IF THERE WOULD BE RAIN THAT DAY. HE ASSURED THE KING THAT THERE WOULDN'T BE ANY RAIN. SO, THE KING & QUEEN LEFT THE PALACE TO GO DOWN TO THE RIVER.
ON THEIR WAY, THE KING & QUEEN MET A FARMER WITH HIS DONKEY. WHEN THE FARMER SAW THE ROYAL COUPLE, HE SAID, “YOUR MAJESTIES, YOU SHOULD RETURN TO THE PALACE THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF RAIN SOON.” THE KING WAS POLITE, TO THE FARMER & REPLIED, “I HOLD THE ROYAL METEOROLOGIST IN HIGH REGARD. HE ASSURED ME THERE WOULD BE NO RAIN. SO, WE WILL CONTINUE ON OUR WAY.” “OK,” SAID THE FARMER. HE STOOD ASIDE TO LET THE KING & QUEEN GO ON THEIR WAY.
NOT MUCH LONGER, THE HEAVENS OPENED & A TORRENTIAL RAINSTORM ENSUED. THE KING & QUEEN WERE SOAKED. THEIR ENTOURAGE CHUCKLED UPON SEEING THEM IN SUCH A STATE. THE KING WAS FURIOUS & FIRED THE ROYAL METEOROLOGIST.
THE FARMER WAS SUMMONED THE NEXT DAY & OFFERED THE PRESTIGIOUS ROLE OF ROYAL METEOROLOGIST. HE SAID, “YOUR MAJESTY, I AM A HUMBLE FARMER & KNOW NOTHING ABOUT METEOROLOGY & FORECASTING WEATHER. MY INFORMATION COMES FROM MY DONKEY. IF HIS EARS ARE DROOPING, IT MEANS IT WILL RAIN HEAVILY.”
THE KING THOUGHT ABOUT THAT & THEN HIRED THE DONKEY. AND SO, THAT WAS HOW THE GOVERNMENT'S HIRING OF DONKEYS IN THE HIGHEST AND MOST INFLUENTIAL POSITIONS BEGAN!

FEATURED POEM
THE PATH
LIFE TAKES US IN CIRCLES;
MOST OF THE TIME WITH TWISTS AND TURNS.
THE PERSON THAT OBSERVES WHILE ON THEIR
PATH IS THE ONE THAT LEARNS.
LEARNS FROM OTHERS' MISTAKES AND
THE MISTAKES OF THEIR OWN;
LEARNS THAT THEY LEARN BEST WHEN THEY
SPEND TIME WITH THE LORD ALONE.
THE LORD CAN MAKE THE CIRCLE GO
INTO A STRAIGHT LINE, AND WHEN HE DOES,
EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE.
THE MOST VALUABLE THING WE CAN LEARN
IS TO LOVE, LIKE OUR FATHER FROM ABOVE.
