God’s Plan

Some things we may not understand, But this one thing is clear; We reap the things which we have sown, In joy or bitter tears. God made us good, just like Himself, And planned that we should sow; His righteousness day after day, That nobly we should grow. We failed the Lord in His good plan, Forbidden fruit we ate; And thus the penalty of death, Became our final fate. God loved us with such tender love, A council thus was called; And in the council plans were made, To save us from the fall. In brief the story may...

The Sneeze

They walked in tandem, each of the ninety-two students filing into the already crowded auditorium. With their rich maroon gowns flowing … and the traditional caps, they looked almost as grown up as they felt. Dads swallowed hard behind broad smiles, and Moms freely brushed away tears.

And the clouds depart, The winds and waters cease, While sweetly o’er my gladdend heart Expands the bow of...

The Barber

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: “I don’t believe that God exists.” “Why do you say that?” asked the customer. “Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn’t exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there...
