Let's run off together!...Take me away with you! Let's run off together! An elopement with my King-Lover! We'll celebrate, we'll sing, we'll make great music. Yes! For your love is better than vintage wine. Everyone loves you - of course! And why not? Tell me where you're working - I love you so much - Tell me where you're tending your flocks, where you let them rest at noontime. Why should I be the one left out, outside the orbit of your tender care? - Song Of SolomonProfessor Howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189934292678757335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437964542052755799.post-42012114739523246182010-02-10T10:47:56.732-04:002010-02-10T10:47:56.732-04:00deign does not mean "To think worthy".deign does not mean "To think worthy".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437964542052755799.post-26937559233722995272007-02-01T11:23:00.000-04:002007-02-01T11:23:00.000-04:00Howdy,
MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research In...Howdy, <br /> <br />MEMRI, the Middle East Media Research Institute, has just <br />published an interview with one of the jihadists who attacked <br />the housing complex in Saudi Arabia two weeks ago. Here <br />is how this murderer described the operation:<br /><br />"We entered another office and found one infidel from South <br />Africa, and our brother Hussein slit his throat. We found a <br />Swedish infidel. Brother Nimr cut off his head, and put it at <br />the gate so that it would be seen by all those entering and <br />exiting. We found Filipino Christians. We cut their throats <br />and dedicated them to our brothers the Mujahideen in the <br />Philippines. We found Hindu engineers and we cut their <br />throats too. That same day, we purged Muhammad's land <br />of many Christians and polytheists."<br /> <br />Given all of these facts, it becomes increasingly difficult <br />to consider Islam as a religion of peace, or its adherents <br />members of the civilized world.<br /> <br />Thanks, again . . .<br />J & JAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-437964542052755799.post-65735894899990121162007-02-01T10:56:00.000-04:002007-02-01T10:56:00.000-04:00"The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature,..."The Bible is no mere book, but a Living Creature, with a <br />power that conquers all that oppose it." - Napoleon<br /><br />"That Book accounts for the supremacy of England." <br />- Queen Victoria<br /><br /><br />"Bible reading is an education in itself." - Lord Tennyson (Poet)<br /><br />"The existence of the Bible, as a Book for the people, is the greatest<br />benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to <br />belittle it is a crime against humanity." - Immanuel Kant (Philosopher)<br /><br />"The New Testament is the very best Book that ever or ever will be <br />known in the world." - Charles Dickens (Author)<br /><br />"All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of <br />confirming more and more strongly the truths contained in the <br />Sacred Scriptures." - Sir William Herschel (Astronomer)<br /><br />"There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible than in <br />any profane history." - Sir Isaac Newton (Scientist)<br /><br />"Let mental culture go on advancing, let the natural sciences <br />progress in even greater extent and depth, and the human <br />mind widen itself as much as it desires; beyond the elevation <br />and moral culture of Christianity, as it shines forth in the Gospels, <br />it will not go." - Goethe (Author)<br /><br />"I have known ninety-five of the world's great men in my time, <br />and of these eight-seven were followers of the Bible. The Bible <br />is stamped with a Specialty of Origin, and an immeasurable <br />distance separates it from all competitors." - W.E. Gladstone (Prime Minister) <br /><br />"Whatever merit there is in anything that I have written is simply <br />due to the fact that when I was a chile my mother daily read me <br />a part of the Bible and daily made me learn a part of it by heart." <br />- John Ruskin (art critic and social commentator) <br /><br />"The Bible has been the Magna Charta of the poor and oppressed. <br />The human race is not in a position to dispense with it." - Thomas <br />Huxley (Author & Scientist)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />===============<br /><br /> <br />Take the best medicine of all for what ails you -- laughter: <br /> <br />"A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon <br />without springs--jolted by every pebble in the road."<br />~Henry Ward Beecher<br />"Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects."<br />--Arnold Glasow<br />"Laughter is by definition healthy."<br />--Doris Lessing<br />"If somebody makes me laugh, I'm his slave for life."<br />--Bette Midler<br />The human race has one really effective weapon, and that is laughter."<br />--Mark Twain<br /> "What soap is to the body, laughter is to the soul."<br />-- Yiddish Proverb<br />"Laughter is an instant vacation."<br />-- Milton Berle<br /> "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people."<br />-- Victor Borge <br /> <br />To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the<br />heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time<br />to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a<br />time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a <br />time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

But small is the gate and narrow <br />the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, <br />forever with God), and only a few find it. --Matthew 7:13-14<br /> <br /><br /> <br /> <br /> <br />++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <br /> <br />The "E-Mail Newspaper" containing 'Thought & Humor' <br />is sent out FREE via e-mail w/o ads.
