Riddles



1) Always old, sometimes new, never sad,
sometimes blue. Never empty, sometimes
full, never pushes, always pulls.
What am I?





2) Two people were crossing a bridge. One was the father
of the other ones' son, What was their relationship?

3) There was a rich, old man who died on a rainy, Sunday
afternoon. After some investigating the cops concluded
he was murdered and questioned the three suspects. They
asked the maid, "What were you doing at the time of the
murder," and she replied, "I was washing the dishes."
They asked the butler what he was doing and he said,
"I was getting the mail." Then they asked the guard
what he was doing at the time of the murder and he answered,
"I was taking a shower." Who killed the old man?





4) As black as ink yet isn't ink,
As white as milk yet isn't milk,
As soft as silk yet isn't silk,
And hops about like a filly-foal.
What Am I?





5) Find the synonymous word for each word in the following
pair. For each pair, the words you find should rhyme with
each other, the first word being an adjective and the
second a noun. Some of these are easy, others are more
challenging. Good luck!

For example: angry father = mad dad

sneaky insect
humorous rabbit
happy boy
muscular tune
close fright





6) I can be long, or I can be short.
I can be grown, and I can be bought.
I can be painted, or left bare.
I can be round, or square.
What am I?

7) Can you decipher this nursery rhyme?

Complications arose during an investigation of dietary
influence; one researcher was unable to assimilate adipose
tissue, and another was unable to consume tissue consisting
chiefly of muscle fiber. By a reciprocal arrangement
between the two researchers, total consumption of the
viands under consideration was achieved, thus leaving
the original container of the viands devoid of contents.

  2. "The Delete Button You Can't Reach"
    Galatians 6:7

    So many times, the latest technology becomes a great
    blessing and a great curse. For example, are cell phones a blessing
    or a curse? Yes. It's great that I can reach anyone or they can reach
    me basically anytime or anywhere. And it's terrible that people can
    reach me anytime, anywhere. How about e-mail? Fast, efficient
    communication from wherever you are to wherever they are. But then
    there's "spam" - the e-mail equivalent of junk mail. You can wake up
    to dozens of new e-mails, including a bunch you don't want. But
    there's this button on your computer that really comes in handy. It
    just says "delete." If you don't like what you're getting, delete. If
    you don't want to keep something, delete. If you wrote something you
    decide you don't want to send, delete. One key stroke and what you
    don't want is gone.

    Here's the problem. Because we live in a world where it's so
    easy to delete, we may start thinking we can delete things that, in
    fact, aren't going to go away. Like the consequences of our actions
    for example. The payback for the things we've done wrong. The
    judgment of Almighty God for making ourselves number one instead of
    Him. There are some things you just can't delete. Delay, maybe. Delete, never.

    That's guaranteed, actually, by God Himself in our word for
    today from the Word of God in Galatians 6:7. It's one of the laws of
    the universe, and no one is so smart or even religious enough to
    escape it. God says, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man
    reaps what he sows." Sow corn, you'll get corn whether you want corn
    or not. Sow wheat, you'll get wheat. Sow sin, you'll get judgment;
    consequences here and eternal consequences forever.

    Any farmer can tell you that you don't reap the harvest as
    soon as you sow the seed. But make no mistake. The harvest is delayed
    but it's inevitable. In the case of our disobedience toward God, the
    Bible spells out the harvest in these chilling words: "The wages of
    sin is death" (Romans 6:23). That death is life here without the God
    who makes life work and life after death without God in hell.

    There are short-term, "undeletable" consequences for sin.
    Deceit today, discredited and un-trusted tomorrow. Indulging your
    lust today, scarred relationships and disgusting bondage tomorrow.
    Sex outside of marriage today, the real thing ruined tomorrow. Trash
    talk today, loss of respect and reputation tomorrow. But far worse
    than those consequences is the eternal death penalty our sin carries
    with it. No religion on earth, and no amount of your goodness can
    possible delete your sin from God's book. Only the One whose laws
    we've broken can delete your sin and cancel your hell. The delete
    button for human sin is beyond human reach.

    The Bible declares our only hope in these words: "Christ
    carried our sins in His body on the tree" (1 Peter 2:24). When Jesus
    said "Father, forgive them" from His cross, He was including you. If
    you will abandon all other hope for being forgiven and you pin all
    your hopes on Him. The Bible says He is "a God ... who pardons sin"
    and who will "hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea"
    (Micah 7:18, 19). Imagine. Every sin, every wrong thing you've ever
    done, deleted by one stroke of God's hand because you reached out to
    Jesus, His Son, and you said, "Rescue me. You're my only hope!"

    If that's what you want, then I want to help you take this
    step into a love relationship with Jesus Christ. I want to invite you
    to our website where we've provided a simple explanation of just how
    to get started with Him. Just go to yoursforlife.net. Or I'd be glad
    to send you my free booklet Yours For Life if you'll just let us know
    you want it. Just call us at 877-741-1200.

    The awful harvest for your sin was taken by Jesus on the
    cross, so you could make the greatest trade in the world - eternal
    death for eternal life.
