Cybersalt News
Sunday greetings everyone!
Grandma Cybersalt and I are on the road this weekend. Yesterday we attended a piano recital that a granddaughter and grandson were playing in, and today we are at a Highland Dance recital that that same granddaughter is dancing in.
Enjoy the rest of today's Digest.

Christmas Postage
A woman went to the Post Office to buy stamps for her Christmas cards.
"What denomination?" asked the clerk.
"Oh, good heavens! Have we come to this?" said the woman.
"Well give me 50 Baptist and 50 Catholic."

A Royal Riddle
If a king sleeps on a kin-sized bed and a queen sleeps on a queen-sized bed, where does a prince sleep?
On an heir mattress.

"Once in our world, a stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world."
- C. S. Lewis
You Stink!
It was a particularly tough football game, and nerves were on edge. The home team had been the victim of three or four close calls, and they were now trailing the visitors by a touchdown and a field goal. When the official called yet another close one in the visitors' favor, the home quarterback blew his top.
"How many times can you do this to us in a single game?" he screamed. "You were wrong on the out-of-bounds call, you were wrong on that last holding call, and you failed to say anything about a late hit in the first quarter."
The official just stared.
The quarterback seethed, but he tried to suppress language that might get him tossed out of the game.
"What it comes down to," he bellowed, "is that YOU STINK!"
The official stared a few more seconds. Then he bent down, picked up the ball, paced off 15 yards, and put the ball down. He turned to face the steaming quarterback.
"And how do I smell from here?" he asked.
There are so many times when it is hard to "bite the tongue" and say nothing. The urge to say "something" seems so overpowering that the words sometimes erupt before we have a chance to think them through.
Unfortunately, those words have consequences. The minor offenses result in 15-yard penalties. The more serious offenses result in years of regret and heartache, or perhaps broken relationships that take years to rebuild.
No wonder James had such strong words of praise concerning the person who is always able to control what he says (James 3:2).
"He who has knowledge spares his words, and a man of understanding is of a calm spirit. Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive." (Prov. 17:27-28)
May your words today be few, calm, and carefully thought out.

Did I Really Just Say That?
As far back as I can remember, I wanted to be a writer. My maternal grandmother wrote poems and would read one at the family gathering. I don't know if that's where I got it, but I got it.

Not saying I'm old, but ... When I was in school, we made our parents ashtrays for Christmas.
Yesterday I spotted an albino Dalmatian. It was the least I could do for him.
"Christmas is an indictment before it becomes a delight. It will not have its intended effect until we feel desperately the need for a Savior."
Dewey had collected lots of money from doing chores and he went to the candy store to buy some chocolate.
We think Cybersalt's collection of Christmas jokes is the best collection on the net. Right now it features over 70 jokes.
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.
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
