I spent Thursday and Friday rushing around to get everything taken care of
before I started my vacation.. Saturday was spent driving down to Detroit along
with my mother so we could fly out to Spokane, Washington early Sunday morning..
Wouldn't you know we stayed in one of the few that don't offer free internet!!
We came out here because my sister Lisa and her husband Vic (who live here) are
celebrating 35 years of marriage by renewing their vows.. To make the occasion
just that much more special they are being joined by my sister Cathy and her
husband Jerry from Houston,Texas. They will be renewing their vows along with
them in a double ceremony.. This trip was also my first commercial airline
flight and the furthest I have ever been away from home.. I enjoyed the flight
so much that as soon as we landed I called my sons and told them we need to plan
a family trip together in he near future.. I can't wait to enjoy it with them!
I tried multiple times yesterday to get connected to my sister's wi-fi without
success.. Finally got things working properly today so I am back online.. I will
be out here for the next 12 days and in between helping them out with different
remodeling projects will have time to devote here..

The Stone Cottage
by Ann-Marie Walker, Mashpee, Massachusetts

Twice a year Gary and I took the kids and made the 1,200-mile trip up from
Alabama to my native New England to visit my folks, crowding into their cozy
little house on Cape Cod. I loved those trips. One year my daughter, Michelle,
gave me a ceramic cottage that looked like one of the saltboxes on the Cape,
with cedar trees on either side and a quaint old rowboat out front. "So you can
feel close even when you're in Alabama," she said. I gave Michelle a big kiss
and a hug in return.

We all got older. I worried about Mom's worsening diabetes. Dad had a heart
attack. Suddenly, they were facing a move to the nursing home.

"I can't let that happen," I told Gary. "Let's move up north and take care of
your parents," he said. Our kids were grown by then. It was possible.

We put our things in storage and moved into my parent's basement on Cape Cod,
but it wasn't quite the same. The vacation cottage was way too small for the
four of us to live full time.

Gary and I had to find a place of our own. The houses we saw were too expensive
or too far from my parents. I tried to take comfort in my favorite Scripture,
from Jeremiah: "For I know the plans I have for you, plans for well-being and
not for trouble, to give you a future and a hope." But the longer we looked, the
more I wondered what lay ahead for us. For my parents.

One summer day the realtor showed us a saltbox house down the road from Mom and
Dad's. It was lovely. Even better, I had a tremendously warm feeling about it,
like those old vacations. I couldn't explain it.

What a relief to finally unpack our things! They'd been in storage so long, it
was like seeing them for the very first time. Except when I unwrapped the
ceramic cottage my daughter gave me. I turned it over in my hands. The sloping
roof, the shutters . . . it was an exact replica of our new house, right down to
the cedars and the quaint rowboat the previous owners had left on the lawn. A
future and a hope. It had been there all along.

Today's Story
From Dolores

The Apple Basket

One day an elderly man entered into a hospital. He was grumpy from being
On medication and the nurses thought him to be insane, as he yelled for his
Wife to get the apple basket. By the time they had checked him into his
Room the nurses were exhausted from the fight he was putting up.

"Sir you have to calm down we are doing everything we can for you" they
Would try to explain.

"I don't need your help" the grumpy man would yell "I want my apple
Basket". He finally slept. The nurses sighed with relief and talked among
Themselves whether they should call the hospital psychologist about the old
Man and his obsession with the apple basket.

As they talked and laughed about the situation the wife came in carrying
The basket of apples. They looked kind of stunned as she asked if she could
See her husband and deliver his basket. Sure, they agreed as they watched
Her slip past into his room.

Curiosity consumed them over the next few weeks as they tended to the
Elderly man. He was eaten with cancer and the doctors had given him no hope
Of survival. He turned out to be a very calm, happy man once he had his
Basket. His wife, they noticed, would come in with apples and go out with
Apples and the curiosity grew even more till one nurse couldn't stand the
Suspense.

One night as he was nearing the end, the nurse sat down in a chair by the
Wife." May I ask why do you have that apple basket? I just don't understand
The significance."

"I am an apple farmer by trade he sighed. From the time I was 20 till the
Day I do die I will forever have my apples." The nurse nodded thinking she
Understood. He just likes his work, she thought, assured now he was a
Little bit crazy.

As she started to leave, the old man asked her to sit down. "At age 20 I
Was saved, I accepted the Lord as my Savior." Oh no, the nurse thought.
Here comes the lecture on religion. The old man continued. "The day I
Accepted the Lord as my Savior I got this basket, and each time I had a
Problem or concern that I could not handle, I put an apple in the basket
Un-shined."

"Why?" the nurse said shaking her head.

"Because it reminded me to give those problems to the Lord for him to
Shine. See my basket now," he stated. "As my problems disappear so do the
Apples. As I get new problems, ones I cannot handle alone, I put an apple
In."

The humble nurse looked into the basket...only one apple was there.

With that, he took a big breath and grabbed his wife by the hand and
Faded into eternal sleep. The wife paused for a moment and got up from her
Place to take from the basket the last remaining apple. She whispered in
His ear that his reward awaits him in heaven.

The nurse stayed still and asked with tears in her eyes, "what do you
Think his riches will be?"

The wife knew what they were, eternal life with Jesus Christ. But she
Could see the concern and sadness upon the young nurses' face and handed
Her the apple and said "the biggest apple pie you can imagine!"

That was the day the young nurse was saved, and from that day on she
Always had a basket by her bed.

From Ruthie
This is one of the best clean jokes I've been mailed in a while !

Jesus and Satan were having an on-going argument about who
was better on the computer.
They had been going at it for days, and frankly God was tired
of hearing all the bickering.

Finally fed up, God said, "That's it! I have had enough. I am going
to set up a test that will run for two hours, and from those results I
will judge who does the better job."

So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed away.

They moused.

They faxed.

They e-mailed.

They e-mailed with attachments..

They downloaded.

They did spreadsheets!

They wrote reports.

They created labels and cards.

They created charts and graphs.

They did some genealogy reports.

They did every job known to man.

Jesus worked with heavenly efficiency and Satan was faster than hell.

Then, ten minutes before their time was up, lightning suddenly flashed
across the sky, thunder rolled, rain poured, and, of course, the power
went off...

Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every curse word known
in the underworld.

Jesus just sighed.

Finally the electricity came back on, and each of them restarted their
computers. Satan started searching frantically, screaming:

'It's gone! It's all GONE! 'I lost everything when the power went out!'

Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all of his files from
the past two hours of work.

Satan observed this and became irate..

'Wait!' he screamed. 'That's not fair! He cheated! How come he
has all his work and I don't have any?'

God just shrugged and said,

"JESUS SAVES...."
