My Little Bit of Heaven
  
Most of you are going through the same or similar trials and tribulations as I am though your stories may be a little different we are all still in the same boat. My prayer is that my little bit of heaven will make your little bit of heaven just a little bit better. May the Lord richly bless you all, cheers.

The Thief Who Robbed Himself : Aug 5, 2008 10:35 pm
186 Views
Back in 1887 in a small neighborhood grocery store, a middle-aged gentleman named, Emanuel Nenger, gave the assistant a $20 note to pay for the turnip greens he was purchasing.
When the assistant placed the note in the cash drawer, she noticed that some of the ink from the $20 came off on her hands, which were wet from wrapping the turnip greens.
She'd known Mr. Nenger for years and was shocked! She ponders, "Is this man giving me a counterfeit $20 note?" She dismissed the thought immediately and gave him his change.
But $20 was a lot of money in 1887, so she notified the police who, after procuring a search warrant, went to Emanuel Nenger's home where they found in his attic the tools he was using to reproduce the counterfeit $20 notes. They found an artist's easel, paint brushes, and paints which Nenger was using to meticulously paint the counterfeit money. He was a master artist!
The police also found three portraits that Nenger had painted, paintings that ultimately sold at public auction for just little over $16,000!
The irony was that it took him almost as much time to paint a $20 note as it did to paint the three portraits that sold for more than $5,000 each.
The man that robbed Emanuel Nenger was himself!
We do the same whenever we cheat or break the law including God's laws for illegitimate gain. While most of us wouldn't rob another person of his or her material possessions, it is very easy to rob a person's reputation through idle gossip.
We also rob and cheat ourselves when we don't give to God and to others in need whether it is of our time, talents, resources or love.

You ticked him off once and your next phone bill was $20,000.

He's won the Publisher's Clearing House sweepstakes 3 years running.

When asked for his phone number, he gives it in hex.

Seems strangely calm whenever the office LAN goes down.

Somehow gets HBO on his PC at work.

Mumbled, "Oh, puh-leeez," 95 times during the movie, "The Net."

Massive RRSP contribution made in half-cent increments.

Video dating profile lists "public-key encryption" among turn-ons.

When his computer starts up, you hear, "Good Morning, Mr. President."

You hear him murmur, "Let's see you use that Visa card now, fool."

Rules of Driving Aug 5, 2008 4:45 pm

Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right.

Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions, and are apparently not enforceable during rush hour.

Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot.

Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident, or even if someone is just changing a tire.

Throwing litter on the roads adds color to the landscape and gives Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up.

It is assumed that state police cars passing at high speed may be followed in the event you need to make up a few minutes on your way to work, or the beach.

Remember that the goal of every good driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary.

Real female drivers can put on pantyhose, apply eye makeup, and balance the checkbook at seventy-five miles per hour during a snowstorm in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

If you were the most honest and the most modest man in the world, and someone asked you who the most modest man in the world is, would you have to give up one of your titles in order to answer?
