Sunday greetings, everyone!

Today, Grandma Cybersalt and I are going to take a trip down memory lane (all the way back to her childhood) and go watch the Hawaii Martin Mars water bomber land at the end of its last flight. Susan was born and raised in Port Alberni, British Columbia, where this plane (and a sister to it) were based on a nearby lake. Both of us have memories of hearing its pounding engines, thundering as it took off and out of the Alberni Valley on the way to fight a wild fire somewhere.

Today's video share is a local news story about this iconic plane.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson went on a camping trip.  After a good meal and a bottle of wine they lay down for the night, and went to sleep.

Some hours later, Holmes awoke and nudged his faithful friend.

"Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."

Watson replied, "I see millions and millions of stars."

"What does that tell you?"

Watson pondered for a minute.  "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets.  Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo.  Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three.  Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful and that we are small and insignificant.  Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.  What does it tell you?"

Holmes was silent for a minute, then spoke.  "Watson, someone has stolen our tent."

We thought it was our ability to love that made us human, but it turns out it was actually our ability to SELECT EACH IMAGE CONTAINING A BOAT.

My wife told me to take the spider out instead of killing him.

Went out. Had a few drinks, Nice guy. He's a web designer.

"When I look at myself, I don't see how I can be saved. But when I look at Christ, I don't see how I can be lost."

Several years ago while working at the county jail (where I still work) I was locking down the inmates for the night and one man didn't want to get off the phone. After several attempts to get him to hang up the phone failed, I switched it off.

About two nights later I was working the same wing and the same inmate called me over and said that if we were on the street that wouldn't happen.

I said, “Ya, you've got that right! I would have no reason to tell you to get off the phone and if I wanted to use a phone I would go and find one.”

He had nothing more to say.

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 . . . . 

One thing I have learned in life is that some things do have a purpose no matter how bad they seem at the time. They don’t seem to have any purpose when they happen, but you later discover a significant purpose behind it.
