Op ‘n dag het die sewe jaar oue Walter gesien hoe ‘n uil op ‘n tak sit en slaap. Hy het gedink dat dit ‘n oulike troeteldier sal wees, nader gesluip en die uil aan die been gegryp. Die uil het gespartel en gefladder, sy vreesbevange oë het wyd oopgerek. […]

JES. 42:7 “Jy sal blindes laat sien, jy sal gevangenes uit die tronk bevry; wie in die donkerte van die gevangenis sit, sal jy laat uitgaan.” Ek het ’n tyd gelede die verhaal gehoor van ’n seuntjie wat blind gebore is. Sy ma wou hom beskerm en het besluit dat

An instructor was sitting in his office one afternoon when an attractive, sexy-looking lady knocked on his door.
“Yes?”, he replied, “how may I help you?”
The lady said “I need to talk to you about my grade in your class.”
“Come in and have a seat,” said the instructor.
“Is there anything I can do to get an ‘A’ in your class?”
“What do you mean by anything?” he replied.
“Anything,” she said.
“Anything?” he asked again.
She said, in her best sultry voice, “I mean anything.”

“Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven” Matthew 5:16 ESV
I had promised my wife that I would bring her a cup of coffee after my morning run. So, at 6:03 a.m., breathing hard and sweaty, I walked into Starbucks to order two cups of coffee to take home.
As I waited in line, the guy in front of me was clutching a copy of the New York Times and waving a $50 bill in the face of the clerk. Obviously ticked at the clerk, he was ranting, “What do you mean you don’t have change? What kind of a place are you operating here? I’ve got the money. I want my New York Times!”
The clerk, clearly shaken by the man’s anger, apologized, “I’m sorry, sir. We just opened, and I don’t have that much cash on hand yet. I don’t have change for a $50 bill.”
Broers en Susters van die gemeente. As ek rêrig geglo het in Blou Maandae, was een van my Maandae nie ingekleur met skakerings van blou nie. Nee!, dit sou swart en donker van die blou gewees het. So kry ek, waarvandaan, die weet ek nie, my eerste verrassing sommer al

A man and his dog are in the same car. The dog howls bright-moon-in-the-middle-of-the-night caterwauling howls. The man pleads, promising a daily delivery of dog biscuit bouquets if only the hound will hush. After all, it’s only a car wash.
Never occurred to him???ahem, to me???that the car wash would scare my dog. But it did. Placing myself in her paws, I can see why. A huge, noisy machine presses toward us, pounding our window with water, banging against the door with brushes. Duck! We’re under attack.
“Don’t panic. The car wash was my idea.” “I’ve done this before.” “It’s for our own good.” Ever tried to explain a car wash to a canine? Dog dictionaries are minus the words brush and detail job. My words fell on fallen flaps. Nothing helped. She just did what dogs do; she wailed.

The story is told of two men who were talking. One of them was huge, the other quite small. The small man was admiring the size of the larger man. “Boy, if I were as big as you are, I wouldn’t be afraid of nothin’. I’d go out into the
The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the Napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just lying there like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.
Is that important? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes!
