G.I. Excuses
The General went out to find that none of his GIs were there. One finally ran up, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I can explain, you see I had a date and it ran a little late. I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The General was very skeptical about this explanation but at least he was here so he let the GI go.
Moments later, eight more GIs came up to the general panting, he asked them why they were late.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but it broke down, found a farm, bought a horse but it dropped dead, ran 10 miles, and now I'm here."
The General eyed them, feeling very skeptical but since he let the first guy go, he let them go, too.
A ninth GI jogged up to the General, panting heavily.
"Sorry, sir! I had a date and it ran a little late, I ran to the bus but missed it, I hailed a cab but..."
"Let me guess," the General interrupted, "it broke down."
"No," said the GI, "there were so many dead horses in the road, it took forever to get around them."

Quote #2358
"Children don't often show their pain through talking. They show us their pain through 'challenging behaviour'. As a culture, we need to move beyond seeing challenging behaviour as 'naughtiness' or a choice, and look to what children are desperately communicating.

Amid the Doubts
- photo by Susan Page'Faith is not the absence of doubt; it is continuing to follow Jesus in the midst of doubt.' J.D. Greear
Do faith and doubt go hand in hand? It’s an interesting question. Scripture tells us that without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6).
Listening to the sermon on Resurrection Sunday, I wondered why the disciples were not eagerly awaiting Christ’s resurrection. Only Mary, the mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalene were outside the tomb. This made me think about faith versus doubt.
