Cybersalt News

Sunday greetings everyone - and happy Canadian Thanksgiving in Canuckland!

This past Chicken Thursday I discovered that last Sunday's mailing never went out (I stopped one click short of "send" apparently.) So the rest of today's news is really last weeks news, except the last few days have been rainier, so there is some new news for you!

----------------------------

We have been having some really nice fall weather at Cybersalt World Headquarters.

Today I took some pictures in our backyard and I thought I'd share my favourite one of the bunch. It's of a bee on a sunflower our daughter gave us some months ago.

The image will appear small in the newsletter, but you can click on it for a large version. (Also, today's video share is further below.)

Today's video share answers the question, "How mad do you have to be to want to kill Billy Graham?" This is a great story that many would say was about God triumphing over evil, but I think it's an example of God winning over brokenness.

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

My family traditionally begins the evening meal with a prayer of thanks.  When they were old enough, we began letting our children say the meal prayer.  Of course at first they would ask for a pony, a new bike, etc.  They soon learned the more important things which should be included in the prayer.

At Thanksgiving we had the whole family over.  My nine year old wanted to say the prayer.  It went like this:

"Heavenly Father, we thank Thee for the turkey, the rolls, the mashed potatoes, the red jiggly stuff, and the bread stuff even though I don't like it.  We ask that You not let us choke on this food."

Self-Annihilating Sentence:

A good system can transform complexity into chaos.

"Be a Billionaire!"

Persecuted Christians

Man: I'm new around here. Will you please direct me to the bank?

Little boy: I will, but only if you pay me ten dollars.

Man: Why should I pay you so much?

Little boy: Because bank directors are always highly paid.

"A bird does not sing because it has an answer. It sings because it has a song."

- Chinese Proverb

In a fancy restaurant in Columbia, a rich patron started to choke on a bone. A man rushed over, reassured the Yuppie that he was going to be all right and identified himself as a doctor. He performed the Heimlich Maneuver. The bone popped out.

As the man's breath & voice returned he said, "I'm ever so grateful doctor, how can I ever repay you?"

The doctor smiled and said, "I'll settle for one-tenth of what you were willing to pay while you were choking."

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.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

To say the least, and I usually do, this summer has been quite a journey for the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and myself. I can't remember a summer equal to the one we just went through. The fact that we got through it is amazing.

We have been staying at home more often than usual, but I'm not complaining. What better night than the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and me sharing whatever we are doing?

One night this past week, I turned off the TV; we were getting ready to go to bed when my wife said, "What is that aggravating noise?"
