Good Morning All,

Last Thursday, my sister-in-law came from Colorado with her new beau for a visit, with there 2 large husky dogs. The very next day my Mother, Father, and Grandmother show up from Southern Utah. Needless to say, a very stressful weekend. I picked todays story because of an incident last night involving my youngest son. He was making a friendship bracelet for his Aunt who was trying to leave. My wife got a little short with him for the time it was taking and he sat there crying while trying to finish. He is going to get an extra hug before leaving to school this morning, and I have printed this story for my wife to read. Everyone have a great day today!!!!

Tommy's Essay

Soon Tommy's parents, who had recently separated, would
arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and
disruptive behavior. Neither parent knew that I had summoned
the other.
Tommy, an only child, had always been happy,
cooperative, and an excellent student. How could I convince
his father and mother that his recent failing grades
represented a brokenhearted child's reaction to his adored
parents' separation and pending divorce?
Tommy's mother entered and took one of the chairs I had
placed near my desk. Then the father arrived. They pointedly
ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed account of Tommy's behavior and
schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two
together to help them see what they were doing to their son.
But somehow the words wouldn't come. Perhaps if they saw one
of his smudged, carelessly done papers.
I found a crumpled, tear-stained sheet stuffed in the
back of his desk. Writing covered both sides, a single
sentence scribbled over and over.
Silently I smoothed it out and gave it to Tommy's
mother. She read it and then without a word handed it to her
husband. He frowned. Then his face softened. He studied the
scrawled words for what seemed an eternity.
At last he folded the paper carefully and reached for
his wife's outstretched hand. She wiped the tears from her
eyes and smiled up at him. My own eyes were brimming, but
neither seemed to notice.
In his own way God had given me the words to reunite
that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy
paper covered with the anguished outpouring of a small boy's
troubled heart.
"Dear Mother . . . Dear Daddy . . . I love you . . . I
love you . . . I love you."

And here's a little joke to start the day off right!!!!

The policeman signals a driver to pull over to the side of
the road, due to the fact that he appears to be driving erratically.

He says to the driver, "You appear to have been drinking!" The
driver answers, "No sir, I am just tired"

The policeman looks into the car and notices that the driver is a
priest! He also notices that there is an empty bottle on the floor.

He says to the driver, "What is , or should I say was in this bottle?

The driver answers "Water"!. The policeman says, "It is not, it's
wine!"

The driver looks up to the heavens and says
"OH LORD YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN"
