Sunday greetings everyone.

By the time a man becomes a grandfather, he has hopefully recognized when it is time to remain silent. Rev. James Snyder is one of those men.  You can read "And the Award Goes to" at:

Long Sermon Feedback

After a very long and boring sermon the parishioners filed out of the church saying nothing to the preacher. Towards the end of the line was a thoughtful person who always commented on the sermons. "Pastor, today your sermon reminded me of the peace and love of God."

The pastor was thrilled. "Nobody has ever said anything like that about my preaching before. Tell me why."

"Because it endured forever."

One-liner #1195

"Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea."

- Robert A. Heinlein

Freudian Slip

"A Freudian Slip: when you say one thing but mean a mother."

Quote #1642

"True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less."

- C.S. Lewis

Integrity Ref

I was playing in a golf tournament with a longtime Big Ten basketball official who just retired.

He was recollecting the first time he refereed in Bloomington, IN at Indiana University. As he told it:

“I was very nervous. It was my first time in Bloomington and my first time refereeing a game with Bobby Knight. I was very nervous and was trying so hard to make every call right and equitable.

“At the start of the second half, Indiana’s #23 positioned himself right next to me as we started play. I felt crowded so gave myself some extra room, but he stayed right with me! This went on for over 5 minutes…#23 closer to me than any opponent. ­I couldn't seem to shake him.

“At the under 16-minute time out, I approached the Indiana bench and said, ‘Coach Knight, I couldn't help but notice that #23 stays very close to me - it’s like he’s guarding me!"

“Coach Knight looked at me and said, ‘Son, at half time I told that player to guard the man who was giving us the most trouble ... AND THAT’S YOU!'”
