Sunday greetings everyone.

Congratulations to J.J. Westberg, A. Doherty, and W. McLauren who correctly answered my riddle last Sunday.

To remind you: "Whilst getting something in the backyard of Cybersalt World Headquarters yesterday, I noticed this fruit tree with a single piece of fruit on it. Here is a riddle for you: If I were to ask, "How much fruit is on this tree?" what answer would be correct if you wrote it down, put possibly (maybe even probably) taken as incorrect if you spoke it?

The answer is "One pear."

However, I want to give bonus points to A. Doherty who answered, "One pear but not a pair. Fair fare."

Now for a bit of housekeeping. Recently a couple of you have let me know you were unsubscribed from Cybersalt mailings without requesting to be unsubscribed. There are a couple of reasons this can happen and I've created a page explaining how this can happen and what to do if it happens to you. www.cybersalt.org/faqs/why-was-i-unsubscribed 

Today's video share is an episode of "Songs of Praise," a BBC program that goes to different churches and records congregations singing. For sure these churches are putting their best foot forward for the show (I'm guessing they aren't always as packed), but I enjoyed the music, the message, and pondering how much everyone must have enjoyed the activity. Times like that are a precious gift - especially to pastors, lol!

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing!

If you are wondering what a Goober is, there is a picture of one at:

Newscast: "In other news, 6 Brazilian men die in a sky diving accident."

Goober gasps incredulously: "Oh, oh it's horrible!"

Goober's friend: "Yeah. It is sad. But you know what? They were skydiving and there's always that risk involved."

Goober, holding back tears: "It just seems like so many! ... How many IS a Brazilian?"

The Flood is over and the ark has landed. Noah lets all the animals out and says, "Go forth and multiply."

A few months later, Noah decides to take a stroll and see how the animals are doing. Everywhere he looks he finds baby animals. Everyone is doing fine except for one pair of little snakes. "What's the problem?" says Noah.

"Cut down some trees and let us live there," say the snakes.

Noah follows their advice. Several more weeks pass. Noah checks on the snakes again. He finds lots of little snakes, and everybody is happy. Noah asks, "Want to tell me how the trees helped?"

"Certainly," say the snakes. "We're adders, so we need logs to multiply."

While stationed in Washington, D.C., a man used Arlington National Cemetery as a shortcut on his way to give a briefing at Fort Myer.

To his surprise, he encountered a roadblock manned by the military police. An MP approached him and asked in a stern voice, "Are you supposed to be here?"

Unsure of what to say, he replied, "Not yet."

The MP held back a smile and waved him on.

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 . . . . 

I have learned that you don't miss something until it is gone. Unfortunately, sometimes, it's too late.

Over six weeks ago, or was it nine months, I took my truck in for a regular checkup. I was going away for the week, so I thought I would drop the truck off and let them work on it when they had time, and then when I come back, it would be ready.

I love it when a plan comes together?

My family went up to Georgia for a family reunion. It was also a time to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Time goes by when we're not really focused on what's happening. That's me to a T.
