A pastor had been on a long flight between church conferences. The first warning of the approaching problems came when the sign on the airplane flashed on:
*Fasten Your Seat Belts*
Then, after a while, a calm voice said, "We shall not be serving the beverages at this time as we are expecting a little turbulence. Please be sure your seat belt is fastened."
As the pastor looked around the aircraft, it became obvious that many of the passengers were becoming apprehensive.
"Dance like nobody is watching. Text and email like it will be read in court someday."

My first-grade daughter and her friend both needed new boots as winter approached. Not many days passed before her friend got in the car one morning sporting brand new boots.
"Beth," I commented, "I see you got new boots. Where did you get them?"
"At the store," she answered.
"Which one?" I asked.
She began looking at her new boots and after a pause said, "Both of them."
"Sleep in peace tonight. God is bigger than anything you will face tomorrow."

Preparing for a tag sale at our house, my wife and I decided to put out a mirror we'd received as a wedding gift.

Then he peeled off the aqua colored protective covering to reveal a beautiful gold finished frame.
