Tuesday
It Was A Dark
And Foggy Night...
A UNC grad stood on the side of the road hitch hiking on
a very dark night in the middle of a storm. The thunder
was rolling and no cars passed. The storm was so strong,
he could hardly see a few feet ahead of him. Suddenly
he saw a car come towards him and stop.
The man, without thinking about it, got in the car and closed
the door to realize that nobody was behind the wheel. The car
started slowly. He looked at the road and saw a curve ahead.
Scared, he started praying, and begged for his life. He hadn't
come out of shock, when just before he hit the curve, a hand
appeared through the window and moved the wheel. The man,
paralyzed in terror, watched how the hand appeared every time
before a curve.
He gathered his strength, got out of the car and ran to the nearest
town. Wet and in shock, he ran into...

can you find out what is wrong with it? It's so usual,
you would think nothing is wrong with it. In fact, nothing
is wrong with it! It's unusual, though. Study it. What
is so unusual about it? Do you know?

On This Date -
1517
In the little town of Wittenberg, Germany,
on this day, October 31, 1517, no one seemed
to notice the priest nailing his challenge to debate
on the church door; but within the week, copies
of his theses would be discussed throughout the
surrounding regions; and within a decade, Europe
itself would be shaken by his simple act. Later
generations would mark martin Luther's nailing
of the 95 theses on the church door as the beginning
of the Protestant Reformation.

Vet Visit
A man brought a limp dog into the Veterinary
Clinic. As he lay the dog on the table, the
doctor pulled out her stethoscope, placing it
on the dog's chest.
After a moment or two, the Vet shook her head
sadly and said, "I'm sorry, sir but your dog
has passed away."
"What?" screamed the man. "How can you tell? You
haven't done any testing on him or anything. I
want another opinion!"
With that, the Vet turned and left the room. In
a few moments, she returned with a Labrador Retriever.
The Retriever went right to work, checking the
poor dead dog out thoroughly. After a considerable
amount of sniffing, the Retriever sadly shook his
head and barked, "Woof! Woof!".
The Veterinarian then took the Labrador out and
returned in a few moments with a cat, who also
checked out the poor dog on the table. As had
his predecessor, the cat sadly shook his head and
went, "Miaow, Miaow."
He then jumped off the table and ran out of the room.
The Veterinarian handed the man a bill for $600...
The dog's owner went ballistic.
"$600! Just to tell me my dog is dead? This is
outrageous!"
Again, the Vet shook her head sadly and explained,
"If you had taken my word for it, it would have only
been $50, but no, you wanted testing... So with the
Lab Work and the Cat Scan..."
Physical Problems
A UNC grad* was having some physical problems
and his doctor told him that he had to drink warm
water one hour before breakfast. At the end of a
week he returned and the doctor asked if he was
feeling better. The man said that he actually felt
worse.
"Did you drink warm water an hour before breakfast
each day?"
"No," replied the grad, "All I could do was about
15 minutes!"

A Letter To Friends
Dear Friends,
For by Him all things were created that are in heaven
and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones
or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were
created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things,
and in Him all things consist.
Sicerely,
Paul

The Light Right
In Front Of You
There were 540 passengers aboard that September evening, sailing
from Athens to an Aegean Island. An hour out, the wind came up and
the temperature suddenly dropped. Five hours into the voyage, passengers
felt the ferry's engines surge, and most of them assumed they were getting
close to their destination. They were wrong. The crew was frantically trying
to steer clear of this small, rocky island, two miles from their destination.
Tragically, the ferry plowed right into those rocks. It took only 38 minutes
to sink. Rescue vessels got there quickly, but eighty people died that night,
and it did not have to happen. There was a functioning lighthouse, sitting
atop that rock, warning vessels away. It could be seen for several miles
around. For some reason, the ferry just kept heading straight for the rocks.

In just a few weeks, Americans will celebrate Thanksgiving,
a holiday that people of all faiths observe. But between stuffing

this holiday, which are often downplayed in school...
