<p>Tax his coffin, tax his grave,</p>
<p>Tax the sod in which he lays.</p>

<p>They’ll still be after Inheritance Tax</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is an “oldie, but goodie.”                    </p>
<p>There just might be some real learning in these words, We hope you are practicing them ? ?..</p>
<p>The other day, someone at a store in our town read that a Methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farmhouse in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question.</p>
<p>&#8220;Why didn&#8217;t we have a drug problem when you and I were Growing up?&#8221;</p>
<p>I replied, I had a drug problem when I was young:</p>
<p>I was drug to church on Sunday morning. I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.</p>
<p>I was drug to family reunions and community socials no matter the weather.</p>
<p>I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults.</p>
<p>I was also drug to the woodshed when I disobeyed my parents, told am lie, brought home a bad report card, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher, or if I didn&#8217;t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.</p>
<p>I was drug to the kitchen sink to have my mouth washed out with soap if I uttered a profanity.</p>
<p>I was drug out to pull weeds in mom&#8217;s garden and flower beds.</p>
<p>I was drug to the homes of family, friends, and neighbors to help out some poor soul who had no one to mow the yard, repair the clothesline, or chop some firewood; and, if my mother had ever known that I took a single dime as a tip for this kindness, she would have drug me back to the  woodshed..</p>
<p>Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, or think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack, or heroin; and if today&#8217;s children had this kind of drug problem, the world would be a better place.</p>
<p>God Bless the parents who drugged us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli, cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would live long and healthy lives.<br />
 <br />
Then using God&#8217;s great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry&#8217;s Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, &#8220;You want chocolate with that?&#8221;<br />
 <br />
And Man said, &#8220;Yes!&#8221; and Woman said, &#8220;and as long as you&#8217;re at it, add some sprinkles&#8221; And they gained 10 pounds. And Satan smiled<br />
 <br />
And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them. And Woman went from  size 6 to size 14.<br />
 <br />
So God said, &#8220;Try my fresh green salad.&#8221; And Satan presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.<br />
 <br />
God then said, &#8220;I have sent you heart healthy vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them.&#8221; And Satan brought forth deep fried fish and chicken-fried steak, so big it needed its own platter.  And Man gained more weight and his cholesterol went through the roof.<br />
 <br />
God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named it &#8220;Angel Food Cake,&#8221; and said, &#8220;It is good.&#8221;  Satan then created chocolate cake and named it &#8220;Devil&#8217;s Food.&#8221; God then brought forth running shoes so that His children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan gave cable TV, with a remote control, so Man would not have to toil changing the channels.  And Man and Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue light and gained pounds.<br />
 <br />
Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center into chips and deep-fried them. And Man gained pounds.<br />
 <br />
God then gave lean beef, so that Man might consume fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And Satan created McDonald&#8217;s and its 99-cent double cheeseburger. Then said, &#8220;You want fries with that?&#8221; And Man replied, &#8220;Yes! And super size them!&#8221; And Satan said, &#8220;It is good.&#8221; And Man went into cardiac arrest.<br />
 <br />
God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.<br />
 <br />
Then Satan created HMOs.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
 </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods; but he could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for dinner.</p>
<p>As he was walking back he saw Grandma&#8217;s pet duck. Just out of impulse, he let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile; only to see his sister watching! Sally had seen it all, but she said nothing.<br />
 <br />
After lunch the next day Grandma said, &#8220;Sally, let&#8217;s wash the dishes&#8221;  But Sally said, &#8220;Grandma, Johnny told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.&#8221; Then she whispered to him, &#8220;Remember the duck?&#8221; So Johnny did the dishes.</p>
<p>Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and Grandma said, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry but I need Sally to help make supper.&#8221; Sally just smiled and said, &#8220;Well that&#8217;s all right because Johnny told me he wanted to help&#8221; She whispered again, &#8220;Remember the duck?&#8221; So Sally went fishing and Johnny stayed to help.<br />
 <br />
After several days of Johnny doing both his chores and Sally&#8217;s; he finally couldn&#8217;t stand it any longer.<br />
 <br />
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt down, gave him a hug and said, &#8220;Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I was just wondering how long you would let Sally make a slave of you.&#8221;<br />
 <br />
Thought for the day and every day thereafter?<br />
 <br />
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done&#8230; And the devil keeps throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred, anger, bitterness, etc.) &#8230;whatever it is&#8230;You need to know that God was standing at the window and He saw the whole thing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A large company, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO. The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.</p>
<p>On a tour of the facilities, the CEO noticed a guy leaning on a wall. The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know that he meant business.</p>
<p>He walked up to the guy leaning against the wall and asked, &#8220;How much money do you make a week?&#8221;</p>
<p>A little surprised, the young man looked at him and replied, &#8220;I make $400 a week. Why?&#8221;</p>
<p>The CEO then handed the guy $1,600 in cash and screamed, &#8220;Here&#8217;s four weeks&#8217; pay, now GET OUT and don&#8217;t come back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, &#8220;Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?&#8221;</p>
<p>From across the room came a voice, &#8220;Pizza delivery guy from Domino&#8217;s.&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An atheist was taking a walk through the woods, admiring all that the accident of evolution&#8221; had created. &#8220;What beautiful animals!&#8221; he said to himself. As he walked alongside the river, he heard a rustling in the bushes behind him. He turned to look. He saw a 7-foot grizzly bear charging toward him. He ran as fast as he could up the path. He looked over his shoulder and saw that the bear was closing. He ran even faster, so scared that tears were coming to his eyes. He looked over his shoulder again, and the bear was even closer. His heart was pumping frantically and he tried to run even faster. He tripped and fell on the ground. He rolled over to pick himself up but saw the bear; right on top of him; reaching for him with his left paw and raising his right paw to strike him. At that instant the atheist cried out without thinking, &#8220;Oh my God!&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>Time stopped.</p>
<p>The bear froze.</p>
<p>The forest was silent.</p>
<p>Even the river stopped moving.</p>
<p>As a bright light shone upon the man, a voice came out of the sky, &#8220;You deny my existence for all of these years; teach others I don&#8217;t exist; and even credit creation to a cosmic accident. Do you expect me to help you out of this predicament? Am I to count you as a believer?&#8221;</p>
<p>The atheist looked directly into the light and answered, &#8220;It would be hypocritical for me to be a Christian after all these years, but perhaps you could make the bear a Christian?&#8221;</p>
<p>Very well,&#8221; said the voice.</p>
<p>The light went out.</p>
<p>The river ran again.</p>
<p>The sounds of the forest resumed.</p>
<p>And then the bear dropped his right paw&#8230;..brought both paws together&#8230;bowed his head and spoke: Lord, for this food which I am about to receive, I am truly thankful.&#8221;</p>
