PUNS If you take your laptop a run, you could jog your memory. SMALL TOWNS Those who grew up in small towns will laugh when they read this. Those who didn't will be in disbelief and won't understand how true it is. The gym teacher suggested you haul hay or pick rock the summer to get stronger. TECH SUPPORT Customer: My keyboard is not working anymore. Tech support: Are you sure it's plugged into the computer? Customer: No. I can't get behind the computer. Tech support: Pick up your keyboard and walk 10 paces back. Customer: OK Tech support: Did the keyboard come with you? Customer: Yes Tech support: That means the keyboard is not plugged in. Is there another keyboard? Customer: Yes, there's another one here. Ah, that one does work. A NUN GRADING PAPERS The first commandment was when Eve told Adam to eat the apple. OXYMORONS Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand? SMILE With all the new technology regarding fertility recently, a 65-year-old friend of mine was able to give birth. When she was discharged from the hospital and went home, I went to visit. 'May I see the new baby?' I asked. 'Not yet,' She said 'I'll make coffee and we can visit a while first.' Thirty minutes had passed, and I asked, 'May I see the new baby now?' 'No, not yet,' She said. After another few minutes had elapsed, I asked again, 'May I see the baby now?' 'No, not yet,' replied my friend. Growing very impatient, I asked, 'Well, when can I see the baby?' 'WHEN HE CRIES!' she told me. 'WHEN HE CRIES?' I demanded. 'Why do I have to wait until he CRIES?' 'BECAUSE I FORGOT WHERE I PUT HIM, O.K.?!!!! PROVERBS FOR LIVING He that answereth a matter bee he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. Proverbs 18:11

3 What Makes a Dad God took the strength of a mountain, The majesty of a tree, The warmth of a summer sun, The calm of a quiet sea, The generous soul of nature, The comting arm of night, The wisdom of the ages, The power of the eagle's flight, The joy of a morning in spring, The faith of a mustard seed, The patience of eternity, The depth of a family need, Then God combined these qualities, When there was nothing more to add, He knew His masterpiece was complete, And so, He called it... Dad

5 06/19/11 A Charge to Keep Psalm 78:1-7 Leviticus 8:5 (Lev 8:5) Theree shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: so I am commanded. (Psa 78:1-7) (Psa 78:6-7) That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: That they might set their hope in and not get the works of but keep his commandments: (Psa 22:4-5) Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them. They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded. (Psa 44:1) To the chief Musician the sons of Korah, Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old. (Psa 44:2-) How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out. For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them. (Prov 22:28) Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set. (Prov 17:6) Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers.
