The Fence Repair
A preacher was repairing a fence surrounding his church. He notices a young boy has been standing nearby for a long time.
The preacher finally asks him, “Do you want to speak with me, son?”
“Oh, no. I’m just waiting.”
“Well, waiting for what?” came the priest’s reply.
“Waiting to hear what a preacher says when he hits his finger with a hammer.”

If you lack knowledge, go to school. If you lack wisdom, get on your knees. —Vance Havner
It is in a prayer relationship that God gives further direction.
Good friends are like stars…….. You don’t always see them,
But you know they are always there.

Spelling
Kathryn’s 5-year-old developed a strong interest in spelling once she learned to spell STOP. After that, she tried to figure out her own words. From the back seat of the car she’d ask, “Mom, what does fgrpl spell?”
“Nothing,” Kathryn said.
Sitting at breakfast she’d suddenly ask, “Mom, what does doeb spell?”
“Nothing,” Kathryn answered.
This went on for several weeks. Then one afternoon as they sat coloring in her room she asked, “Mom, what does lmdz spell?”
Kathryn smiled at her and said, “Nothing, sweetheart.”
The 5-year-old carefully set down her crayon, sighed and said, “Boy, there sure are a lot of ways to spell Nothing!”
