"When all kinds of trials and temptations crowd into your lives my brothers, don't resist them as intruders, but welcome them as friends. Realise that they come to test your faith and produce in you the quality of endurance."
"Don't cry because its over; smile because it happened."
Dorothy Galyean
"Worry is like a rocking chair--it gives you something to do but it doesn't get you anywhere."
Next time you think your having a bad day, remember these . . .
1. The average cost of rehabilitating a seal after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska was $80,000. At a special ceremony, two of the most expensively saved animals were released back into the wild amid cheers and applause from onlookers. A minute later they were both eaten by a killer whale.
2. A woman came home to find her husband in the kitchen, shaking frantically with what looked like a wire running from his waist towards the electric kettle. Intending to jolt him away from the deadly current she whacked him with a handy plank of wood by the back door,breaking his arm in two places. Till that moment he had been happily listening to his walkman.
3. Two animal rights protesters were protesting at the cruelty of sending pigs to a slaughterhouse in Bonn. Suddenly the pigs, all two thousand of them, escaped through a broken fence and stampeded, trampling the two hapless protesters to death.
4. Iraqi terrorist, Khay Rahnajet, didn't pay enough postage on a letter bomb. It came back with "return to sender" stamped on it. Forgetting it was the bomb, he opened it and was blown to bits.
