I walked into a coffee shop in Chapel Hill* to find the
UNC student behind the counter with a bunch of sponges
pinned to her uniform.

"May I ask the meaning of the sponges?" I asked.

The student responded proudly, "My psychology
professor told our class that it was O.K. to be
self-absorbed." *http://www.ci.chapel-hill.nc.us/

Howdy,

As one from Texas, "Howdy" is used quite often and not
just by Aggies from Texas A & M. And since we are on
the subject, the UNC jokes are the same down here in
Texas, but we call them Aggie Jokes. So, should I be
offended too? I think not. Keep up the good work.

See Ya'll Later.

Dear Howdy,

I decided to stop worrying about my teenage son's
driving and take advantage of it. I got one of those
bumper stickers that say "How's my driving?" and
put a 900 number on it. At 50 cents a call, I've been
making $38 a week.

Howdy,

A farmer was driving his horse & buggy through Vance County
on NC 158 when a UNC student came around a curve at 60mph
in his corvette. POW! He hit the horse & knocked it down immediately.

The student scrambled out & queried the farmer, "Do you think
I hurt him?".

THe farmer paused & wisely drawled, "Welp, if you did him any
good, I'd gladly pay ya fer it!"

Dear Howdy,

If you're being chased by a police dog, try not to go
through a tunnel, then on to a little seesaw, then jump
through a hoop of fire. They're trained for that.

The term, "It's all fun and games until someone loses an
eye" is from Ancient Rome. The only rule during wrestling
matches was, "No eye gouging." Everything else was allowed,
but the only way to be disqualified is to poke someone's eye out.

The two lines that connect your top lip to the bottom of
your nose are known as the philtrum.

The word "honcho" comes from a Japanese word meaning "squad
leader" and first came into usage in the English language
during the American occupation of Japan following World War II.

The word "coach" is derived from the village of Kocs, Hung-
ary, where coaches were invented and first used.

The word gargoyle comes down from the Old French: gargouille,
meaning throat or gullet. This is also the origin of the
word gargle. The word describes the sound produced as water
passes the throat and mixes with air. In early architecture,
gargoyles were decorative creatures on the drains of cathe-
drals.

The word 'news' did not come about because it was the plural
of 'new.' It came from the first letters of the words North,
East, West and South. This was because information was being
gathered from all different directions.

The word quisling comes from the name of Major Vidkun Quis-
ling, a Norwegian who collaborated with the Germans during
their occupation of Norway. The word now means "traitor."

The ZIP in Zip-code stands for "Zoning Improvement Plan."

Theodore Roosevelt was the only U.S. president to deliver an
inaugural address without using the word "I". Abraham
Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Dwight D. Eisenhower tied
for second place, using "I" only once in their inaugural
addresses.

There are roughly 6,500 spoken languages in the world today.
However, about 2,000 of those languages have fewer than
1,000 speakers. The most widely spoken language in the world
is Mandarin Chinese. There are 885,000,000 people in China
that speak that language.

Victor Hugo's Les Miserables contains one of the longest
sentences in the French language - 823 words without a
period.

Two men sank into adjacent train seats after a long day in
the city.

One asked the other, "Your son go back to college yet?"

"Two days ago."

"Hm. Mine's a senior this year, so it's almost over. In May,
he'll be an engineer."

"What's your boy going to be when he gets out of college?"

"At the rate he's going, I'd say he'll be about thirty."

"No, I mean what's he taking in college?"

"He's taking every penny I make."

"Doesn't he burn the midnight oil enough?"

"He doesn't get in early enough to burn the midnight oil."

"Well, has sending him to college done anything at all?"

"Sure has! It's totally cured his mother of bragging about
him!"

The kids call it a "chick flick" - one of those "sensitive"
movies
that especially appeal to the "pink" half of the human race. It's called
Princess Diaries and it was a pretty big hit, big enough to produce a
sequel. My sources tell me that it's one of those fairy tale stories
where
an ordinary girl discovers that her father, who she has known little
about,
is from a royal family. And ordinary girl ultimately finds out that she
is a
princess. That would be a happy ending for any girl.

There's a woman listening today who has a lot in common with the
girl in Princess Diaries. You're really a princess, but you don't realize
it. Or, you're about to become a princess no matter how you've been
treated
in your life. It all depends on being personally related to the Father
who
is the King.

In Genesis 29, beginning with verse 21, God tells a story of a
woman
who looked for love and worth in the wrong place and who ultimately
discovered the true source of her worth. In this word for today from the
Word of God, we find that Jacob had worked seven years for Laban, the
father
of Rachel, the woman of his dreams. Laban deceived Jacob and he ended up
married to Rachel's sister, Leah. The Middle East customs of that day
allowed Jacob to marry a second wife, so he married Rachel, but only
after
being forced to work seven more years. You have Rachel, the loved wife,
and Leah, the unloved wife.

The Bible says, "When the Lord saw that Leah was not loved, he
opened her womb, but Rachel was barren" (verse 31). Leah had a son and
she said, "It is because the Lord has seen my misery. Surely my husband
will
love me now." Wrong. Nothing changed. Again, Leah got pregnant two more
times and gave Jacob two more sons. She said, "At last my husband will
become attached to me because I have borne him three sons.'" Wrong again.
The man in her life did not provide the love and the sense of worth she
needed. That's a feeling many women understand. Maybe you. Finally, the
Bible says, "She conceived again, and when she gave birth to a son, she
said, 'This time I will praise the Lord.' She named her son Judah." Which
probably meant "praise."

Only one love was big enough, unconditional enough to satisfy
Leah's
heart - the love of the God who made her. He's the only one that can
satisfy
every woman's heart - including yours. Every other relationship, maybe
even
having children, has left you unfilled and unfulfilled. The only love big
enough to fill the spiritual hole in your heart is the love of God. But
the
One whose love we were made for is on the other side of a wall - the wall
created by our sin; all the wrong things we've done because we've been
running our own life. It took the greatest act of love and sacrifice
imaginable to tear down that wall. God gave His only Son to die brutally
on a cross to pay your sin-bill, forgive all your sin, and make possible
a
personal love relationship with Him. The only love in your life that is
unloseable.

From the moment you give yourself to Him, God's promise from the
Bible becomes yours: "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons
and
daughters" (2 Corinthians 6:18). He's the King of Kings, and when you get
born into His family, you become a princess! If you're in His family, you
are His princess no matter how other people have treated you. Your
lifetime
search for the love you're made for can end this very day if you'll give
yourself to Jesus and put all your trust in His death on the cross for
you.
If you want to experience His love for yourself, I want to send you my
booklet about beginning life's most important relationship. It's called
Yours for Life.

I saw a woman wearing a sweatshirt with this powerful sentiment
on
it: "Some day my Prince will come. God so loved the world that He gave
His
one and only Son that whoever believes in Him will never perish, but have
eternal life." Your Prince has come where you are today to give you this
chance to belong to Him forever. Ron Hutchcraft

sure today, you can get a free copy of the booklet, "Yours for Life:
How to Have Life's Most Important Relationship."
