Riddles



1) On the first day I came to be,
Divinely created for you to see.
Artificial or natural, take your pick,
Although too much of the latter can make
you sick.



2) I put myself in danger,
And then I flee.
All the while you laugh at me.
If not for me, others may die,
Yet when you see me, I often cry.
I jump and run and roll and play,
But keeping them safe just makes my day.
What am I?

they are all nouns?

a. Case
b. Keeper
c. Maker

4) What 5 chemical elements make chocolate?



5) I help you get lost
In magical worlds.
You move me around
With all your fingers.
Time can fly by
Before you know it.
Lost in this world?
You better believe it!
Images will flash
Before your eyes.
Controlling me,
Would be most wise.
Then you will see
The end at last.
Sometimes better,
When completed fast.

What am I?

6) Limerick has taught my children much.
My history has been nobel and swift.
The Mother guides most of my clan,
and most of them never drift.
Two Marys only lasted five years as my queen.
and good Shannon's guidance is easily seen.

7) My first is in ocean, but never in sea.
My next is in wasp, but not in a bee.
My last is in glider and also in flight.
My whole is a creature that hunts through the night.

    us through this book." -- President Abraham Lincoln

    "For we must consider that we shall be as a City upon a hill.
    The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal
    falsely with our God in this work we have undertaken, and

    shall be made a story and a byword throughout the world."
    --John Winthrop, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1630

    "If there is anything in my thought or style to commend ,
    the credit is due my parents for instilling in me an early
    love of the Scriptures. If we abide by the principals taught
    in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper;
    but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority,
    no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and
    bury all our glory in profound obscurity." - Daniel Webster (Founding Father)

    "So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin
    to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful
    citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for
    many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once every year."
    - President John Quincy Adams

    "The existence of the Bible, as a Book for the people, is the greatest
    benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to
    belittle it is a crime against humanity." - Immanuel Kant (Philosopher)

    "The New Testament is the very best Book that ever or ever will be
    known in the world." - Charles Dickens (Author)

    any profane history." - Sir Isaac Newton (Scientist)

    "Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences
    progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human
    mind widen itself as much as it desires; beyond the elevation
    and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels,
    it will not go." - Goethe (Author)

    "I have known ninety-five of the world's great men in my time,
    and of these eight-seven were followers of the Bible. The Bible
    is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, and an immeasurable
    distance separates it from all competitors."
    - W.E. Gladstone (Prime Minister)

    "Whatever merit there is in anything that I have written is simply

    growing influence of the Bible." - W.H. Seward (Secretary of State)

    "America was born a Christian nation. America was born
    to exemplify that devotion to the elements of righteousness,
    which are derived from the revelations of Holy Scriptures.
    Part of the destiny of Americans lies in their daily perusal
    of this great book of revelations. That if they would see
    America free and pure they will make their own spirits
    free and pure by this baptism of the Holy Spirit."
    --President Woodrow Wilson

    For Christians, the life and death of Jesus are the ultimate
    expressions of love, and the supreme demonstrations of
    God's mercy, faithfulness, and redemption. Since Christ's
    miraculous Resurrection on Easter, more than 2,000 years
    ago, Christians have expressed joy and gratitude for this
    wondrous sacrifice and for God's promise of freedom for
    the oppressed, healing for the brokenhearted, and salvation.
    --President George W. Bush

    "It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this
    great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians;
    not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this
    very reason peoples of other faiths have been afforded asylum,
    prosperity, and freedom of worship here."
    --Patrick Henry (original member of the Continental Congress)

    Take the best medicine of all for what ails you -- laughter:

    "A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon
    without springs--jolted by every pebble in the road."
    ~Henry Ward Beecher
    "Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects."
    --Arnold Glasow

    --Bette Midler
    "The human race has one really effective weapon,
    and that is laughter."
    --Mark Twain

    -- Yiddish Proverb
    "Laughter is an instant vacation."
    -- Milton Berle
    "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."
    -- Victor Borge

    To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
    heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
    to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a
    time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a
    time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. (King Solomon)

    Four important things to KNOW:

    1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus,
    Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist,
    Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned
    & fall short of the glory of God.

    2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal
    separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at
    no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is
    Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ
    (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of
    Peace & Savior of the World).

    3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world
    (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist,
    Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians,
    Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up
    His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone,
    anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in,
    relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall
    have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven).

    4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE.
    No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic,
    Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist,
    Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives)
    to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through)
    ME (no other name).

    This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - -
    (Rev. 3:20)

    {Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good
    things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian -
    however they are great afterwards!!!}


    Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that
    leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment),
    and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow
    the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness,
    forever with God), and only a few find it. --Matthew 7:13-14

    "The music industry is stumped by the huge drop in sales of
    rap music. Sales of rap music down 21 percent this past year.
    A lot of rappers have had to cut back on their lifestyle. A
    lot of rappers getting rid of the gold teeth. They're going
    with aluminum siding...it's cheaper." -Jay Leno
