Ralph feared his wife wasn't hearing as well as she used to. He thought she might need a hearing aid. Not quite sure how to approach her on the subject, he called the family doctor to discuss the problem.
The doctor told him there is a simple, informal test the husband could perform, which would give the doctor a better idea of the extent of her hearing loss.
Here's what you do," said the Doctor, "stand about 40 feet away from her, and say something in a normal, conversational speaking tone. See if she hears you. If not, go to 30 feet, then 20 feet, and so on, until you get a response."
That evening, the wife is in the kitchen cooking dinner. Ralph is in the den. He says to himself, "I'm about 40 feet away, let's see what happens.."
In a normal tone he asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" No response.
So, the husband moves closer to the kitchen, about 30 feet from his wife and repeats, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Still no response.
Next, he moves into the dining room, where he is about 20 feet from his wife, and asks, "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again he gets no response.
He walks up to the kitchen door, about 10 feet away. "Honey, what's for dinner?" Again there is no response.
So he walks right up behind her. "Honey, what's for dinner?"
"Ralph! For the FIFTH time, it's CHICKEN!"
A Doctor was addressing a large audience in Tampa.
"The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High fat diets can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all have, or will, eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?"
After several seconds of quiet, a 75-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake".

If you had seen Jesus playing in the streets of Nazareth as a boy, you wouldn’t have taken any special notice of Him (except that He probably wasn’t playing “kick the can”). If you had seen Him in the carpentry shop, you wouldn’t have had a clue about His deity. And if you had seen Him hanging on the cross, that horrific scene wouldn’t have enticed your heart to adore Him if you didn’t know what was behind it.
But in His resurrection, Jesus revealed His true identity. He is the conquering King—ultimate royalty! Since “God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name” (Phil. 2:9), how much more should we adoringly worship Him who, in such surrendered humility, died so that He could become our victorious King! — Joe Stowell
Behold Him there! The risen Lamb!
My perfect, spotless righteousness;
The great, unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace. —Bancroft
Recognize and respond to the royalty of God—worship Him
After church, Robbie tells his parents he has to go and talk to the minister right away. They agree and the pastor greets the family.
"Pastor," Robbie says, "I heard you say today that our bodies came from the dust."
"That's right, Johnny, I did.""And I heard you say that when we die, our bodies go back to dust."
"Yes, I'm glad you were listening. Why do you ask?"
"Well you better come over to our house right away and look under my bed 'cause there's someone either comin' or goin'!"
