Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

If you are subscribed to the Cybersalt Digest only, you may not realize that Chicken Thursday Cybersalt News updates also go to my PearlyGates list. That list features clean, theologically incorrect jokes. And if you are only subscribed to the PearlyGates list; vice-versa!

All this is to explain this special note to PearlyGates subscribers that there hasn't been a mailing for a couple of weeks because I had to redesign the newsletter template after a major upgrade to my newsletter sending system (the Cybersalt Digest got its new template this past Sunday.)

I am really happy with the results and am enjoying having this overdue upgrade off of my to do list. I spend so much time working on other's people's websites that my own sites are often neglected in the same way a mechanic ends up not working on his own car.

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

One morning I was called to pick up my son at the school nurse's office.

When I walked through the main entrance, I noticed a woman, curlers in her hair, wearing pajamas. "Why are you dressed like that?" I asked her.

"I told my son," she explained, "that if he ever did anything to embarrass me, I would embarrass him back. He was caught cutting school. So now I've come to spend the day with him!"

While these results may seem rather trivial, their importance cannot be underestimated.

 "Grief, after all, is part of love."- N. T. Wright

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming.

Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky.

The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried.

Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers.

"We saw your smoke signal," they replied.

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.
