TWENTY THINGS TO THINK ON

by John Yu

1. The best way to get even is to forget.

2. Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death.

3. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.

4. Some folks wear their halos much too tight.

5. Some marriages are made in heaven,  but they all have to be maintained on earth.

6. Unless you can create the WHOLE universe in 5 days, perhaps giving “advice” to God isn’t such a good idea!

7. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up!

8. Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous.  You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.

9. Words are windows to the heart.

10. A skeptic is a person who when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it’s a forgery.

11. It isn’t difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill…just add a little dirt.

12. A successful marriage isn’t finding the right person-it’s being the right person.

13. The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its ground.

14. Too many people offer God prayers with claw marks all over them.

15. The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can hold it.

16. To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover the prisoner was you.

17. You have to wonder about humans – they think God is dead, and Elvis is alive!

18. It’s all right to sit on your pity pot every now the, just be sure to flush every once in awhile.

19. You’ll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.

20. If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher (and there is fertilizer somewhere).

21. Bonus thought: God gave the angels wings but he gave us humans CHOCOLATE!

St. Michael the Archangel

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle; be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into Hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
