When I was in grade four, we had a new teacher. One day she told us that it was proven that when some people where buried, that they were not really dead at the time. When the coffins were opened they would find scratch marks inside.
Can you believe a teacher telling this to ten year olds?
Oh my! In my mind I saw myself inside a coffin alive with a lot of dirt on top of me, and not being able to tell anyone that I was not dead.
That thought would just paralyse me!
When I came home I told my sister Greetje that when I died before her, to get a large knife and stick it into me many times, to make sure that I was dead.
Poor girl for having been given such an assignment.
I read once that in England when someone was buried, a string was wound around their toes. It was attached to a bell above ground. If you were not really dead you could ring the bell.
I sure would have liked knowing about that then!
When I had questions and that was often, I would go to my Dad. He always had the answers for me even though he would often sigh, and tell me that I could ask more questions than ten wise men could answer.
I told dad that I was afraid to go to sleep, and told him what my teacher had said about being buried alive.
I asked my dad: “What if I die in my sleep? Why do I have to die, I want to know why, dad, why?”
The world will keep going and I won’t be a part of it anymore.
There will be new inventions and discoveries, and I won’t know about them. Why are we on this planet anyway, for what purpose?
If we all have to die one day anyway, it just makes no sense at all does it daddy?”
Well this was the day that I finally stumped my dad. He had no answer for me. All he could say was that even the queen had to die. I knew she was very important and that even she had to die impressed me.
For a little while this thought comforted me, but not for long, as the subject just would not let me go.
In desperation I went to my mother and told her what was keeping me awake at night.
I didn't want to die I told her. I didn't want to be buried six feet under-ground for then it was all over for me.
"Oh", mother said to me; "Is that what is worrying you? Well when you die, you become a little star.”
Now that was better! Better than lying in a coffin that is for sure. I would be able to see everything that would happen on planet earth, I would still be a part of it all. Now I felt a lot better. I was happy with what my mother had told me, happy for a few days anyway.
I have a mind that never stops working.
I told my mom that I was worried about all the people that had already died, and the ones that still would die if there would be enough room for all those stars.
She said that only I could have come up with that one!
15 He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!” (Matthew 16:15-17).
Study Bible Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives …41And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed, 42“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” 43Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.… Berean Study Bible · Download Cross References Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 11:25 At that time Jesus declared, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
Matthew 11:26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.
Matthew 20:22 "You do not know what you are asking," Jesus replied. "Are you able to drink the cup I am going to drink?" "We are able," the brothers answered.
Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will."
Matthew 26:42 A second time He went away and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done."
Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up His garments by casting lots.
John 18:11 "Put your sword back in its sheath!" Jesus said to Peter. "Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given Me?"
The Baptism of Jesus Mathew 3-17 …As soon as Jesus was baptized, He went up out of the water. Suddenly the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and resting on Him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased!”
Does Jesus in fact say that He is God’s Son, not just infer it?
Mark says it at the outset of his gospel (1:1).
The angel told Mary her child would be the Son of God (Luke 1:35).
John the Baptist said the same thing (John 1:34).
Nathanael said it (John 1:49).
Martha believed it (John 11:27).
The centurion said so (Matthew 27:54).
Jesus claimed that He said so (John 10:36).
Jesus clearly implies it in John 11:4.
The demons called Jesus the Son of God (Matthew 8:29; Luke 4:41; Mark 3:11).
The charge against Jesus was that He claimed to be the Son of God (Matthew 27:43; John 19:7), a claim He never denied, and virtually admitted (Luke 22:70).
The Gospel of John was written to convince the reader that Jesus was the Son of God (John 20:31).
Why, you might ask, does Jesus not say so plainly. I think the answer is found in Matthew 16:15-17:
15 He said to them, “And who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “You are blessed, Simon son of Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father in heaven!” (Matthew 16:15-17).
Jesus did not want Peter and His disciples to believe He was the Son of God just because He said so. He wanted God to bring them to this conclusion, based upon the overwhelming evidence of Scripture and our Lord’s life and teaching.

WD-40 was created in 1953 by three technicians at the San Diego Rocket Chemical Company. Its name comes from the project that was to find a "water displacement" compound.

There?s a New World Somewhere There?s a new world somewhere they call the Promised Land; And I?ll be there someday if you will hold my hand; I still need you there beside me, no matter what I do; For I know I?ll never find another you.
There is always someone for each of us they say, And you?ll be my someone, forever and a day; I could search the whole world over, until my life is through, But I know I?ll never find another you.
It?s a long, long journey, so stay by my side, If I walk through a storm, you?ll be my guide, Be my guide...
If they gave me a fortune, my treasure would be small; I could lose it all tomorrow, and never mind at all; But if I should lose your love, dear, I don?t know what I?d do, For I know I?ll never find another you!
NINE WORDS WOMEN USE 1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed,this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!
5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbalstatementoften misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
6) That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you're welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true,unless she says 'Thanks a lot' - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say 'you're welcome'.That will bring on a 'whatever').
8) Whatever: Is a woman's way of saying Fu YOU!
9) Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking 'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to # 3.

It is clear to me that the Creator was no fool, When He used one of Man’s ribs as main tool, And with it, to Man’s great elation, Made the Woman a beautiful creation.
She came not from Man’s head to make him superior, Nor from his feet to make Her inferior, She came from his side, from close to his heart, As his rightful EQUAL to play Her part.
It is plain to see that ever since then, She carried and bore every Man; With loving pain gave him his first breath, Helped him grow strong, stands by him ‘til Her death.
The beautiful Woman was put on this Earth, To enhance and balance a Man’s self worth, Only She can play that uniquely special Role, In making Her man happy, content and whole.
The Woman received great inner strength they say, And the Man was made strong in another way, Though not for him to make his Woman cry, Cause Her bodily harm or even make Her die.
“All Men, now listen! I am telling you why, You must never make your Woman cry: Your Maker is watching and counts Her every tear, You best show Her Respect, never make Her fear!”
A Woman lovingly carried you into this World, Proving Her strength with arms unfurled, Now yóur Woman belongs in yóur strong arms, There to love, to cherish and to never cause Her harm.
Boudreaux and Bertha Boudreaux, out in his pasture in south Louisiana , takes a lightning-quick kick from a cow right in the crotch.
Writhing in agony, he falls to the ground. As soon as he could manage, he took himself to the doctor.
He said 'How bad is it Doc? . . . I'm going on my honeymoon next week and my fiancé, Bertha, is still a virgin - in every way.'
The doctor told him, 'I'll have to put your willy in a splint to let it heal and keep it straight. It should be okay next week.'
He took four tongue depressors and formed a neat little 4 sided splint, and taped it all together . . . Quite an impressive work of art and engineering.
Boudreaux mentions none of this to Bertha, marries her, and they go on their honeymoon to Ville Platte.
That night in the motel room, Bertha slowly open her blouse to reveal her beautiful, untouched breasts.
She said, 'You're da first, nobody has EVER seen deez.'
Boudreaux immediately drops his pants and replies,
