Sunday greetings, everyone!

Grandma Cybersalt and I are having a good trip. Today we took (and watched) our 11 year old grandson to his football practice and game and then we went to a huge farmer's market with all kinds of products from the large, local Mennonite community. Highlights of the market were my back bacon burger, freshly made hickory smoked bacon potato chips, and Susan's freshly made apple fritters. We bought too much of everything, but I am sure we'll get help from our daughter and her family! 

Today's video share is a heartwarming story that reminds us how much more beautiful the world is when we make the effort to include those who need a little help to be included.

At the construction site of a new church, the contractor stopped to chat with one of his workmen.

"Patty," he asked casually, "didn't you once tell me that you had a brother who was a bishop?"

"That I did."

"And you are a bricklayer. It sure is a funny world. Things in life aren't divided equally, are they?"

"No, that they ain't," agreed Patty, as he proudly slapped the mortar along the line of bricks. "My poor brother couldn't do this to save his life."

It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles.

While handing a 25 cent-off coupon to the supermarket clerk at the checkout counter a woman inadvertently missed her hand, and the coupon slipped beneath the scale and was gone.

The checker looked distressed so the woman said, "That's OK, it's in coupon heaven now."

“Coupon heaven?" the checker said.

"Yes," the woman said, "That's where coupons go when they die."

"Only the redeemed ones!" said the checker.

Goodman was a moderately successful stockbroker who dreamed of making the big money someday.

He took his friend out for a drive, and he chose the route carefully in order to impress on him the possibilities of the brokerage business.

"Look at that yacht," he said as they drove slowly past a marina. "That 96' beauty belongs to the senior partner at Merrill Lynch. That 104' one over there is owned by the head of Goldman, Sachs. And look at that huge 210' yacht out there. That's the pride and joy of the top seller at Prudential-Bache."

His friend Morris was silent.

Goodman turned to look at him and saw a pained look on his face.

"What's the matter?" Goodman asked.

"I was just wondering," Morris said. "why aren't there any customers' yachts?"

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

The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage and her wonderful husband celebrate 53 years of marital bliss this year. What an accomplishment.

It doesn’t seem possible that we have been married 53 years. After all, we don’t look that old! At least she doesn’t.
