A new miracle doctor had just arrived in town. He could cure anything and anybody, and everyone was amazed with what he could do - everyone except for Mr. Thompson, the town skeptic.
Grumpy old Mr. Thompson went to this 'miracle doctor' to prove that he wasn't anybody special. He went and told the doctor, "Hey, doc, I have lost my sense of taste. I can't taste nothin', so what are ya goin' to do?"
The doctor scratched his head and mumbled to himself a little, then told Mr. Thompson, "What you need is jar number 47."
On some air bases, the military is on one side of the field and civilian aircraft use the other side of the field, with the control tower in the middle.
One day, on just such a field, the tower received a call from an aircraft asking, "What time is it?"
The tower responded, "Who is calling?"
The aircraft replied, "What difference does it make?"
The tower replied, "It makes a lot of difference:
If you are a commercial airlines flight, it is 3 o'clock.
If you are an Air Force aircraft, it is 1500 hours.
If you are a Navy aircraft, it is 6 bells.
If you are an Army aircraft, the big hand is on the 12 and the little hand is on the 3.
If you are a Marine Corps aircraft, it's Thursday afternoon.
If you are in the National Guard, it's still a couple of hours until quitting time."
Grandma Cybersalt and I have settled into our summer routine — the past couple of weeks have been a bit of a lull of activity. It's not that we're not busy or don't have things to do, but the empty days are letting us knuckle down on our work and catch up.
The weather has been very nice too — not too cold, not too hot. The only reason we had the heat pump on this week was that we had to close the windows because of all the dust coming from the tractor that's started digging up the dog park next door.
Today's video share is one where you might start to feel like what this fellow is doing is unfair. But watch till the end — you'll see him learn a lesson the hard way when he plays mini golf against his wife. Click Here To Watch
This is a spiritual or gospel-style song that weaves together two biblical narratives about healing. The first part references the Pool of Bethesda from the Gospel of John, where Jesus heals a paralyzed man. The second part draws from the Epistle of James, which encourages prayer, confession, and calling upon church elders for healing. The lyrics create a call-and-response structure, emphasizing the command to "get up" and the question of whether one truly "wants to be healed."
My Dad says I am Enormously Gorgeous. I wonder if I really am?
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Sarah says you need to have beautiful long curly hair like she has. I don't.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Justin says you must have perfectly straight white teeth like he has. I don't.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Jessica says you can't have any of those little brown dots on your face called freckles. I do.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Mark says you have to be the smartest kid in the seventh grade class. I'm not.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Stephen says you have to be able to tell the funniest jokes in the school. I don't.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Lauren says you need to live in the nicest neighborhood in town and in the prettiest house. I don't.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Matthew says you can only wear the coolest clothes and the most popular shoes. I don't.
To be Enormously Gorgeous...Samantha says you need to come from a perfect family. I don't.
But every night at bedtime my dad gives me a big hug and says, "You are Enormously Gorgeous, and I love you."
My dad must know something my friends don't.

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.
It is true that I don't pay attention to many things in life. I guess I'm just too busy to notice everything.
The Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage always asks me why I'm not paying attention. To keep engaged in that argument, I say, "I'm too poor to pay attention. Could I borrow 25 cents from you?"
I have yet to get that 25 cents. But it is true, I don't pay attention.
Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
And so, whether you are a cat lover or tolerator, we hope you enjoy these funny cat pictures. And, of course, if you have any funny cat pictures you want to share with the world, feel free to send them to us to post here.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the Funny Cat Archive. For the dog people we have this Funny Dog Pictures archive.
It's dedicated to the memory of Maggie - Pastor Tim and family's dog. The SPCA rescued Maggie from Manitoba's Red River flood in 1996 and brought her to British Columbia where she had two short term owners before becoming a part of the Davis household where she preferred adults over kids, picked and ate fruit from trees in the backyard, and very rarely went into water at the beach.
Here are some clean, theologically incorrect jokes. Most of them have been featured in the PearlyGates section of the free Cybersalt Digest Newsletter - which you can subscribe to by clicking here.
When Pastor Tim finds (or puts) fun things on the net, he posts them here. If you would like to be updated when new things are added, just subscribe to the Cybersalt Digest Newsletter. Enjoy!
