Nothing has really changed, even though we think we've
gotten smarter, and technologically advanced. We've just gone back to square

On their 50th wedding anniversary, a couple summed up the
reason for their long and happy marriage.
The husband said, "I have tried never to be selfish.
After all, there is no 'I' in the word marriage."
The wife said, "For my part, I have never corrected
my husband's spelling."

Nine-year-old Joey, was asked by his mother what he had
learned in Sunday School.
"Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses
behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge and all
the people walked across safely. Then he used his walkie - talkie to radio
headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and
all the Israelites were saved."
"Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught
you?" his mother asked.
"Well, no, Mom. But if I told it the way the teacher
did, you'd never believe it."
