The Cybersalt Digest


Cybersalt News

Sunday greetings everyone!

After the recent interruption in mailings, today marks the return of Rev. James Snyder's ongoing column. Usually I included a link to his latest articles on the Cybersalt site, but the new template system has made it easier to include their beginning with a "read more" link to take you to the site to read the rest. That will shorten the Cybersalt news and streamline the newsletter creation process for me.

So, all of you God's Penman fans, just keep reading to the end of each digest to find the latest - and watch on Wednesdays as I include a few to catch up!

Today's video share isn't a video. I recently ended up on an amazing "Google Earth" type site - only for our solar system. You can scroll in and out and also search for specific planets, moons and other things. It's an amazing perspective on the neighbourhood of the beautiful planet God has placed us. Simply go to www.solarsystem.nasa.gov, and click on the "orbit" graphic in the top menu (pictured below).

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

"Whatsa dis?" screamed his Mother. "Who's a-gonna love you like a Momma? Who's a gonna starch-a you socks? Who's a gonna make-a you lasagna?"

Free Canaries

canaryDid you hear about the pet store whose canaries were constantly flying and never landed?

They gave them away for free.

After all, we're all familiar with "no perches necessary."

For Better, For Worse

restaurant waitressMy husband retired, and for the first time in over 40 years I had to think about preparing midday meals.

Tired of it after several months, I said, "I married you for better or worse, but not for lunch."

"Fair enough. From now on I'll make my own," he replied.

A few weeks later he had to go downtown on business and invited me to join him afterwards.

"We could have lunch at that Chinese place we both like," he suggested.

I happily agreed. At the restaurant the next day we were seated, and the waitress came to take our order.

My husband looked up, a twinkle in his eyes and said, "Separate checks, please..."

If I Had a Nickel for Every Blunder I Made

coins 2I am not very agile when it comes to finances. Do not get me wrong, I know how to spend money; it is just that I do not know how to save money. Somewhere I lost my little piggy bank.

One of my father's favorite quotes was, "A penny saved is a penny earned." It never made sense to me, but my father knew how to save money. On the other side, he was not very agile when it came to spending money especially on me.

My whole life has never been focused on making money. For me, the outdoor was busier than the indoor with money. I must confess my wife and I have struggled throughout our life on the financial side. On the relational side, we have done wonderfully; at least that is my impression.
