By The Canadian Press

SASKATOON - Some Saskatoon police officers held their noses long enough to save an overly curious skunk that had gotten its head stuck in a paper cup.

But as it turns out the grateful skunk made no attempt to spray his new found friends

Officers on routine patrol found the skunk running in circles with its head stuck in the cup.

After numerous attempts, and numerous hasty retreats, one member was finally able to get close enough to pull the cup off.

The skunk seemed to be appreciative and quickly ran away.

cheering Why even the wild animals of Canada are Polite....hmmm go figure angel

THE BIRTH OF THE SONG 'PRECIOUS LORD'

Back in 1932, I was a fairly new husband. My wife, Nettie and I were living in a little apartment on Chicago 's south side. One hot August afternoon I had to go to St. Louis where I was to be the featured soloist at a large revival meeting. I didn't want to go. Nettie was in the last month of pregnancy with our first child. But a lot of people were expecting me in St. Louis. I kissed Nettie good-bye, clattered downstairs to our Model A and, in a fresh Lake Michigan breeze, chugged out of Chicago on Route 66.

However, outside the city, I discovered that in my anxiety at leaving, I had forgotten my music case. I wheeled around and headed back.

I found Nettie sleeping peacefully. I hesitated by her bed; something was strongly telling me to stay. But eager to get on my way, and not wanting to disturb Nettie, I shrugged off the feeling and quietly slipped out of the room with my music.

The next night, in the steaming St. Louis heat, the crowd called on me to sing again and again. When I finally sat down, a messenger boy ran up with a Western Union telegram. I ripped open the envelope. Pasted on the yellow sheet were the words: YOUR WIFE JUST DIED.

People were happily singing and clapping around me, but I could hardly keep from cryin g out. I rushed to a phone and called home. All I could hear on the other end was 'Nettie is dead. Nettie is dead.'

When I got back, I learned that Nettie had given birth to a boy. I swung between grief and joy. Yet that same night, the baby died. I buried Nettie and our little boy together, in the same casket. Then I fell apart.

For days I closeted myself. I felt that God had done me an injustice. I didn't want to serve Him anymore or write gospel songs. I just wanted to go back to that jazz world I once knew so well. But then, as I hunched alone in that dark apartment those first sad days, I thought back to the afternoon I went to St. Louis. Something kept telling me to stay with Nettie. Was that something God? Oh, if I had paid more attention to Him that day, I would have stayed and been with Nettie when she died.

From that moment on I vowed to listen more closely to Him. But still I was lost in grief. Everyone was kind to me, especially one friend. The following Saturday evening he took me up to Maloney's Poro College, a neighborhood music school. It was quiet; the late evening sun crept through the curtained windows.

I sat down at the piano, and my hands began to browse over the keys. Something happened to me then. I felt at peace. I felt as though I could reach out and touch God. I found myself playing a melody, once into my head they just seemed to fall into place: 'Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand, I am tired, I am weak, I am worn, through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light, take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.'

The Lord gave me these words and melody, He also healed my spirit. I learned that when we are in our deepest grief, when we feel farthest from God, this is when He is closest, and when we are most open to His restoring power.

And so I go on living for God willingly and joyfully, until that day comes when He will take me and gently lead me home.

RE: No bagage, no headgames please. How I sooo dislike these statements...................

roll eyes I agree Jenny, I am not entirely sure what headgames are, think that means something different for just about every individual - and I do believe that there are men (and women) who have so many issues that they blame them on the headgames of prior partners ; those with unfinished issues and business. JMO angel

Baggage - that which carry with us, often for the sake of survival, from one place in life to the next? Okay, well the last time I checked, we don't have the "zapper thingy" they used in Men in Black to erase memory so, we all, male and female will have baggage - some good, some bad, some otherwise.thumbs up Who we are today, is a result of events, stuff of our yesterdays - it is a simple fact of life, and it can be a very positive part of you...JMO angel

RE: Eyes heard about the job yet?....................

grin Oh I have been doing the visualization and saying it over and over and thinking and believing and seeing myself at that job and the phone call, etc. etc. thumbs up It is ingrained in my brain - I was told if I haven't heard from them by midweek that they had hired someone else...despite what I want, that is the reality. so I will stop just hit reboot and start applying for others if that is the case!!!!cheering

RE: Eyes heard about the job yet?....................

TEARS
by RUSH
A lifetime of the seasons
And all of the days
All of the reasons
Why I've felt this way
So long
So long

Then lost in that feeling
I looked in your eyes
I notices emotion
And that you had cried
For me
I can see

chorus:
What would touch me deeper
Tears that fall from eyes
That only cry?
Would it touch you deeper
Than tears that fall from eyes
That know why


A lifetime of questions
Tears on your cheed
I tasted the answers
And my body was weak
For you
The Truth angel
