Irate Driver and Uncle Sam's Wish
A man was being tailgated by a stressed-out woman on a busy boulevard. Suddenly, the light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman hit the roof, and the horn, screaming in frustration as she missed her chance to get through the intersection with him. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up. He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a cell
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects
He said, "I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping the guy off in front of you, and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'What Would Jesus Do" bumper sticker, the 'Follow Me to Sunday School' bumper sticker and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk. Naturally, I assumed you had stolen the car
UNCLE SAM'S WISH
Three guys, a Canadian, Osama Bin Laden, and Uncle Sam were walking together one day. They came across a lantern and a genie popped out. The grateful genie said, I will give you each one wish, thats three wishes total."
The Canadian said, I want the land of entire Canada to be forever fertile. I'm a farmer, my dad was a farmer, and my son will someday be a farmer."
So with a blink of the genie's eye -- *POOF -- the land was forever fertile.
Osama bin Laden said, I want a wall completely surrounding Afghanistan so that no infidels, Jews, or Americans can get in."
Again with a blink of the genie's eye -- *POOF -- there was a wall around Afghanistan.
Uncle Sam said, Im curious about this wall of Afghanistan, please tell me more."
"Well," answered the genie, the wall is about 15,000 feet high and 500 feet thick. It is practically impenetrable"
So Uncle Sam said, Fill it with water."
God, grant me the Serenity to accept the people I cannot change,
the Courage to change the one I can, and the Wisdom to know it's me.
"Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do, and you will know how good and pleasing and perfect his will really is."
- Romans 12:2 (NLT)
