Subject: Fw: Redistribution of wealth
Redistribution of wealth
Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign the
read
'Vote Obama, I need the money.' I laughed.
Once in the restaurant my server had on a 'Obama 08' tie, again
I
laughed--just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained
to him
that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept.
He stood
there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to
redistribute his
tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy
outside. The
server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank
the
server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The
homeless
guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I
realized
the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but
the
waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn
even
though the actual recipient deserved money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in
concept
than in practical application.
OR IS IT......... THE REDISTRIBUTION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S WEALTH IS A
GREAT
IDEA ??????

TO PARENTS: Every child is a living message, we send to a future
we will never know.
TO STUDENTS: A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ that a
man should have to seek HIM first to find her...
TASTE MY JESUS
At the University of Chicago Divinity School each year they have
what is called 'Baptist Day.' On this day each one is to bring a
lunch to be eaten outdoors in a grassy picnic area. Every 'Baptist
Day' the school would invite one of the greatest minds to lecture
in the theological education center.
One year they invited Dr. Paul Tillich. Dr.Tillich spoke for two
and one-half hours proving that the resurrection of Jesus was
false. He quoted scholar after scholar and book after book. He
concluded that since there was no such thing as the historical
resurrection the religious tradition of the church was groundless,
emotional mumbo-jumbo, because it was based on a relationship with
a risen Jesus, who, in fact never rose from the dead in any literal
sense. He then asked if there were any questions.
After about 30 seconds, an old, dark skinned preacher with a head
of short-cropped, woolly white hair stood up in the back of the
auditorium. 'Docta Tillich, I got one question,' he said as all
eyes turned toward him.
He reached into his sack lunch and pulled out an apple and began
eating it. 'Docta Tillich. CRUNCH, MUNCH 'My question is a simple
question,... CRUNCH, MUNCH.. 'Now, I ain't never read them books
you read..CRUNCH, MUNCH..' and I can't recite the Scriptures in the
original Greek...CRUNCH, MUNCH ...' I don't know nothin' about
Niebuhr and Heidegger...CRUNCH,20MUNCH..
He finished the apple. 'All I wanna know is: This apple I just
ate, . . . . . . was it bitter or sweet?
Dr Tillich paused for a moment and answered in exemplary scholarly
fashion: 'I cannot possibly answer that question, for I haven't
tasted your apple.'
The white-haired preacher dropped the core of his apple into his
crumpled paper bag, looked up at Dr. Tillich and said calmly,
'Neither have you tasted my Jesus.'
The 1,000 plus in attendance could not contain themselves. The
auditorium erupted with applause and cheers.
Dr. Tillich thanked his audience and promptly left the
platform.
Have you tasted Jesus?
Please pass this on Saints! Jesus has risen... and He's coming
back one day...
'Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes
refuge in Him. If you have, rejoice in the hope of the resurrection
that your faith in Him brings.' Psalm 34:8!

Subject: Bad eyesight
One of my dear friends sent me this. I think it was Gene, but I
can't remember for sure. Ha Bad Eyesight
Arthur is 90 years old. He's played golf every day since his
retirement 25 years ago.
One day he arrives home looking downcast.
"That's it," he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf.
My eyesight has gotten so bad that once I've hit the ball, I can't
see where it went."
His wife sympathizes and makes him a cup of tea. As they sit down,
she says, "Why don't you take my brother with you and give it one
more try."
"That's no good," sighs Arthur. "Your brother's a hundred and
three. He can't help."
"He may be a hundred and three," says the wife, "but his eyesight
is perfect."
So the next day, Arthur heads off to the golf course with his
brother-in-law. He tees up, takes an almighty swing, and squints
down the fairway.
He turns to the brother-in-law. "Did you see the ball?" "Of course
I did!" replies the brother-in-law. "I have perfect
eyesight."
"Where did it go?" asks Arthur. "I don't remember."

CANADA’S FOSSIL FOREST (Friday Church News Notes, October 9,
2009,
www.wayoflife.org fbns@wayoflife.org, 866-295-4143) -
The following is from Creation Moments,
http://www.creationmoments.com/radio/transcript.php?t=2551:
“Axel Heiberg Island in Northern Canada is the closest point
of land to the North Pole.
The landscape is completely barren today but long ago a dense
forest of large meta-sequoia trees grew there.
At that time, the climate must have been like Florida today. The
stumps of these ‘fossil trees’ have not mineralized and
are still wood, that is, cellulose. They are claimed to be 45
million years old.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University studied the hydrogen and
oxygen isotopes of the cellulose. These lightweight isotopes are
normally quickly lost by evaporation from dead wood but to their
surprise the researchers discovered an unusually high
content.
This means that their rate of evaporation was extremely low. In
other words, not only did the trees grow in a humid climate but
this climate continued a long time after the trees were
destroyed.
Further, cellulose is quickly broken down by bacterial action if
exposed to air so that the trees were buried rapidly, deeply and a
lot more recently than 45 million years ago.
A Creation Moments staff member was present when a sample of this
wood was used to calibrate the equipment at a well-known Carbon 14
dating laboratory.
Believing the wood to be 45 million years old it should contain no
Carbon 14 but in fact it did and dated at only 41 thousand
years!”

This gets a lot of alleluias and amens.
Florida Court Sets Atheist Holy Day!
Gotta love this Judge!
You must read this.....a proper decision by the courts...for a change.
FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY
In Florida, an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days.
He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days...
The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.
The case was brought before a judge.
After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring, "Case dismissed!"
The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays..".
The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."
The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists."
The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."
You gotta love a Judge that knows his scripture!
This is too good NOT to forward!
