We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes,
  But the plural of ox becomes oxen, not oxes.
  One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
  Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.
  You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice,
  Yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

  If the plural of man is always called men,
  Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?
  If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,
  And I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
  If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
  Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

  Then one may be that, and three would be those,
  Yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
  And the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
  We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
  But though we say mother, we never say methren.
  Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
  But imagine the feminine: she, shis and shim!

  Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
  There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;
  neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
  English muffins weren't invented in England.
  We take English for granted, but if we explore its paradoxes, we find
  that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, and a guinea
  pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

 And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing, grocers don't
 groce and hammers don't ham?

 Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not oneamend.If
 you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what  do
 you call it?

  If teachers taught, why didn't preachers praught?
  If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?

 Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should  be
 committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

  In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
  We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.
  We have noses that run and feet that smell.
  We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.
  And how can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise
  man and a wise guy are opposites?

  You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your
  house can burn up as it burns
  down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out,
  and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

  And, in closing, if Father is Pop,   how come Mother's not Mop?

  That's all for now.

In His Time..

In His time, in His time

He makes all things beautiful

in His time

Lord, please show me ev'ry day

As You're teaching me Your way

That You do just what You say

in Your time

Amazing Grace (Chris Tomlin)

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

Christmas Spirit

In Philippians 2, Paul described the God of heaven and earth as laying aside His divine glory and becoming our servant by dying on the cross for our sins. Then he urged us to duplicate that same mind of humble service to others. That's the true Christmas spirit.               Dennie J. De Hann (Daily Bread - 12/01)

Christmas is not about the endless shopping list, gifts, parties, holiday foods, twinkling trees, house decor...but it's all about the born of Jesus Christ - our Savior. Without Christmas, there will be no Easter and there will be no salvation and hope to us..So, let's have a joyful heart yet focus on the true meaning of the  Christmas celebration and not letting the "commericalized Christmas spirit" to get in our mind. PS3 and Wii can never bring us the eternal joy and happiness that we long for =0) 

Look around and see what we can do for others in this Christmas and let the true Christmas spirit spread to the ppl around us..Merry Christmas everyone!

I found this pretty funny..but yet true for some of it..

you get three meals a day fully paid for	you get a break for one meal and you have to pay for it
you get time off for good behavior	you get more work for good behavior
the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you	you must often carry a security card and open all the doors for yourself
you can watch TV and play games	you could get fired for watching TV and playing games
you get your own toilet	you have to share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat
they allow your family and friends to visit	you aren't even supposed to speak to your family
all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required	you get to pay all your expenses to go to work, and they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners
you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out	you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars
you must deal with sadistic wardens	they are called managers
