An older UNC grad was driving down the freeway when his cell phone rang.
Answering, he heard his wife's voice urgently warning him, "Herman, I just heard on the news that there's some idiot driving a car the wrong way on Highway 280. Please be careful!"
"Hazel!" said Herman, "It's not just one car! There's hundreds of them!"

Four important things to KNOW:
1) For ALL (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) have sinned & fall short of the glory of God.
2) For the wages of above (see #1) are DEATH (Hell, eternal separation from God, & damnation) but the Gift (free & at no charge to you) of God (Creator, Jehovah, & Trinity) is Eternal Life (Heaven) through (in union with) Jesus Christ (God, Lord, 2nd Person of The Trinity, Messiah, Prince of Peace & Savior of the World).
3) For God so greatly loved & dearly prized the world (Americans, Muslims, Jews, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhist, Asians, Presbyterians, Europeans, Baptist, Brazilians, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc.) that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, that whosoever (anyone, anywhere, anytime - while still living) believes (trust in, relies on, clings to, depends completely on) Him shall have eternal (everlasting) life (heaven).
4) Jesus said: "I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH, & THE LIFE. No one (male/female - American, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Asian, Presbyterian, European, Baptist, Brazilian, Mormons, Methodist, French, etc. ) comes (arrives) to the Father (with GOD in Heaven) EXCEPT BY (through) ME (no other name).
This wonderful loving GOD gives you the choice - - - (Rev. 3:20)
{Please note that church membership, baptism, doing good things, etc. are not requirements for becoming a Christian - however they are great afterwards!!!}
Jesus said, "Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction (Hell, damnation, eternal punishment), and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life (Heaven, eternal happiness, forever with God), and only a few find it. --Matthew 7:13-14

I must admit that I was really irritated when I first received your newspaper. I have been having mucho problems receiving virus-laced pornographic emails, which I cannot seem to get stopped. AOL has been no help whatsoever. I was just sure your publication was more of the same. The versions I was initially receiving were hopelessly unreadeable. I assumed they were more of the overseas smut I was receiving.
There was nothing to open, nothing to download, nothing to make any sense. There were just a bunch of seemingly unrelated words and numbers. AOL could tell me nothing about them, nor could Yahoo. I sent several emails trying to get them stopped, but to no avail. I did receive one reply IN FRENCH which said my request could not be understood. (You must have some creative staffers or some wacky servers.) That confirmed my suspicions. I forwarded each arrival to AOL spam and AOL virus email services.
Finally, a coupe of weeks ago one came actually written in English and actually readable. Imagine my shock! Being a public school educator and a Chrisian, I found it quite interesting and refreshing and would hope to continue receiving your publication. I will gladly pass them on.
Good luck and may God bless you for your part in spreading His message.
Tomorrow will be my last day in the office and at this address. I have no email at home and I won't have a new address until Monday. So I will be unable to see this coming edition of T&H (the last one was great as always). I have no idea what is in store for me as far as training so it may take a day or two. Thank you for your prayers and support, I look forward to writing in my new "digs". As Tigger would say, "TTFN, ta ta for now!"
