Several guys that I work with are trying to put together a band (multi-styled, i.e.- funk, rock, Latin, Afro-Cuban, etc). That puts me in need of a trumpet. Does anyone have a trumpet that they would be willing to part with. Email me and let know what you're asking for it, the brand, what it comes with (hopefully a case!), and anything else pertinent. Thanks!

Today's Focus: Children in Church

A little boy was in a relative's wedding. As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd. While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar. So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle. As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit. When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, " I was being the Ring Bear."

**************************************************************

One Sunday in a Midwest City, a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour. The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew, but were losing the battle. Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out. Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"

**************************************************************

One particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am."

**************************************************************

A Sunday School teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?" One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."

**************************************************************

A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them. Then something fell out of the Bible. He picked it up and looked at it closely. It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in between the pages. "Mama, look what I found," the boy called out. "What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked. With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered, "It's Adam 's suit"...

**************************************************************

The preacher was wired for sound with a lapel mike, and as he preached, he moved briskly about the platform, jerking the mike cord as he went. Then he moved to one side, getting wound up in the cord and nearly tripping before jerking it again. After several circles and jerks, a little girl in the third pew leaned toward her mother and whispered, "If he gets loose, will he hurt us?"

**************************************************************

Six-year old Angie , and her four-year old brother, Joel , were sitting together in church. Joel giggled, sang and talked out loud. Finally, his big sister had had enough. "You're not supposed to talk out loud in church." "Why? Who's going to stop me?" Joel asked.
Angie pointed to the back of the church and said, "See those two men standing by the door? They're hushers."

**************************************************************

My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?" I mentally polished my halo, while I asked, "No, how are we alike?" "You're both old," he replied.

**************************************************************

A ten-year old, under the tutelage of her grandmother, was becoming quite knowledgeable about the Bible. Then, one day, she floored her grandmother by asking, "Which Virgin was the mother of Jesus? The virgin Mary or the King James Virgin?"

**************************************************************

A Sunday school class was studying the Ten Commandments. They were ready to discuss the last one. The teacher asked if anyone could tell her what it was. Susie raised her hand, stood tall, and quoted, "Thou shall not take the covers off the neighbor's wife."

Today's Focus: Sunday Stuff

Today was the end of changing jobs and starting a new one and being off for a week. We went to worship twice, everyone had naps (including me!), Brianne and I finished the day by watching "The Amazing Race."
On a little funnier note, as we were driving to evening services, there was a guy next to us with two bumper stickers on his truck. One was an Obama-supporter sticker. The other was a quote from Albert Einstein. "It is better to have an imagination than to have knowledge." Put the two together...enough said.

Have a great week!

Today's Focus: A Quote from Thomas Jefferson

"If the present Congress errs in too much talking, how can it be otherwise in a body to which the people send 150 lawyers, whose trade it is to question everything, yield nothing, & talk by the hour? That 150 lawyers should do business together ought not to be expected."

--Thomas Jefferson, autobiography, 1821


Amen, Mr. Jefferson!

Today's Focus: URGENT PRAYERS NEEDED

As many of you may know from posts on here and/or on Facebook, my Director of New Car Sales has a wife that is very ill. Just last week, she was informed by the kidney and liver doctors that she had perhaps two weeks to two months to live. Today, he left the dealership in quite a hurry. I found out later that she has gotten worse and has perhaps a week to live.
This gentle woman NEEDS prayers. Prayers that she either get better and that God heals her or that she is guided into eternity with little pain.
Mark Wimberley is my Director's name. His wife's name is Sheryl. PLEASE keep them and their family in your prayers. I know that prayer works. I pray that God's will be done, no matter what happens. Mark is a God-fearing man and knows that God is in control and that His will is what we must accept.
