It is quite touching and neat to hear how the Lord is working in others lives. Enjoy!

Another Joke
I just love Microsoft vs. Mac jokes when they are truly good, so here is a pretty good one!
"Apple vs. Microsoft"
Three Microsoft engineers and three Apple employees are traveling by train to a computer conference. At the station, the three Microsoft engineers each buy tickets and watch as the three Apple employees buy only a single ticket. "How are three people going to travel on only one ticket?" asks a Microsoft engineer. "Watch and you'll see," answers the Apple employee. They all board the train. The Microsoft engineers take their respective seats, but all three Apple employees cram into a restroom and close the door behind them. Shortly after the train has departed, the conductor comes around collecting tickets. He knocks on the restroom door and says, "Ticket, please." The door opens just a crack and a single arm emerges with a ticket in hand. The conductor takes the ticket and moves on. The Microsoft engineers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea. So after the conference, the Microsoft engineers decide to do the same on the return trip and save some money. When they get to the station, they buy a single ticket for the return trip. To their astonishment, the Apple employees don't buy any ticket, at all. "How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asks one perplexed Microsoft engineer. "Watch and you'll see," answers an Apple employee. When they board the train the three Microsoft engineers cram into a restroom and the three Apple employees cram into another one nearby. The train departs. Shortly afterward, one of the Apple employees leaves his restroom and walks over to the restroom where the Microsoft engineers are hiding. He knocks on the door and says, "Ticket, please..."

Poem
Hello all! I found a poem that I really enjoyed and hope you all will also.
It really brings out what we as men are to do, and what you young ladies are to look for in young men.
Here it is!
The Thousandth man
One man in a thousand, Solomon says,
Will stick more close than a brother.
And its worthwhile seeking him half your days
If you find him before the other.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine depend
On what the world sees in you,
But the Thousandth Man will stand your friend
With the whole round world a'gin you.
'Tis neither promise nor prayer nor show
Will settle the finder for 'ee
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of them go,
By your looks or your acts or your glory.
But if he finds you and you find him,
The rest of the world don't matter,
For the Thousandth Man will sink or swim
With you in any water.
You can use his purse with no more talk
Than he uses yours for his spendings,
And laugh and meet in your daily walk
As though there had been no lendings.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine of them call,
For silver and gold in their dealings;
But the Thousandth Man he's worth em all,
Because you can show him your feelings.
His wrong's your wrong, and his right's your right,
In season or out of season.
Stand up and back it in all mens sight—
With that for you only reason!
Nine hundred and ninety-nine can't bide
The shame or mocking or laughter,
But the Thousandth Man will stand by your side
To the gallows-foot — and after!
Sincerely

Joke
My sister came across this joke and I thought y'all might like it so I decided to throw it up here!
Enjoy!
PC-User: "How do I shut off my PC".
Tech Support: "Click the Start Button..."
Pc-User: "No, I don't want to start up my PC, it's already started. I want to shut it down!".
Tech Support: "Yes sir, go to the Start Button..."
Q: How many Apple engineers does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: One. They just hold the bulb in place and the world revolves around them.

Quote
Here is a quote I came across in my mum's reading by De Tocqueville in his book Democracy in America. Oh how true it is today, in America, what he was foreseeing for Europe.
"There are Europeans who confuse the various characteristics of the sexes and would make of men and women beings not only equal but alike. To both, they attribute the same functions equally, impose on them the same duties and grant them the same rights. They would involve the both in everything — work, pleasure, business. It is easy to see that, in this ambition to make the one sex equal to the other, both are demeaned and that, from this crude mixing of nature's works, will emerge week men and immodest women."
Let it not be true anymore! Let us strive with our might and with the Lord on our side, to bring back the culture of at least outward godliness, and work towards the day when every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He, Jesus Christ, IS LORD!!
