Sunday greetings everyone!

Grandma Cybersalt and I flew home Friday night, returning from my "Back Home to turn 60!" extravaganza trip. As we prepared to taxi and take off, I was reading the airline instructions on how to connect to the free wifi when I looked over at Susan and noticed she was reading the emergency safety card. That's what makes us a great team. If anything had happened she could lead me out of the plane while I live streamed it on the internet!

Speaking of flying, today's video share is about how to make a wooden propellor. My favourite part is is the crazy saw/lathe!

While attending US Army's Airborne School.....

The Day before our first jump, the instructors (known as SGT Airbornes, students are called 'Airborne') demonstrated all the possible malfunctions one might encounter. 

After watching a total malfunction, i.e.  the parachute fails to deploy, one of the students asked: "SGT Airborne, if we have a complete malfunction, how much time do we have to deploy our reserve parachutes?"

"Airborne, you have the REST of your life to deploy that reserve!"

To all the people who always said I'd never amount to anything because of my procrastination ... Just you wait.

If you suck at playing the trumpet, that's probably why.

A story is told of two friends who were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey, they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face.

The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, he wrote in the sand: “Today my best friend slapped me in the face.”

They kept on walking, until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him.

After he recovered from the near drowning, he carved on a stone: “Today my best friend saved my life.”

The friend, who had slapped and saved his best friend, asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand, and now, you carve on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied: “When someone hurts us, we should write it down in sand, where the winds of forgiveness can erase it away, but when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone, where no wind can ever erase it.”

Learn to write your hurts in the sand and to carve your blessings in stone!

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 . . . . 

The Gracious Mistress Of The Parsonage asked me a question this past week.

"Well, my dear, have you come up with a new hobby yet?"
