| People often struggle from the misconception that there is no hope. One of the fun things about checking my emails are the many that I get from people telling me how they've gotten their lives back with treatment.

| | | God Works in Mysterious Ways A woman and a man are involved in a car accident on a snowy, cold Monday morning. It's a bad one. Both of their cars are totally demolished, but amazingly neither of them is hurt. After they crawl out of their cars, the man is yelling about women drivers. The woman says, "So, you're a man. That's interesting. I'm a woman. Wow, just look at our cars! There's nothing left, but we're unhurt. This must be a sign from God that we should be friends and live in peace for the rest of our days." Flattered, the man replies, "Oh yes, I agree completely, this must be a sign from God!" But you're still at fault... women shouldn't be allowed to drive. The woman continues, "And look at this, here's another miracle. My car is completely demolished, but this bottle of wine didn't break. Surely God wants us to drink this wine and celebrate our good fortune." She hands the bottle to the man. The man nods his head in agreement, opens it, drinks half the bottle and then hands it back to the woman. The woman takes the bottle, puts the cap back on and hands it back to the man. The man asks, "Aren't you having any?" The woman replies, "No. I think I'll just wait for the police..." ........ We thank Sharon C for this week's joke. Sharon wins a free bottle of either the Energy Revitalization System vitamin powder or Corvalen (Ribose)! |
