ON PEARL HARBOR

On December 7, 1941, seventy-five years ago, the Japanese gave new meaning to the word, "surprise."

Pearl Harbor walked into a bar and the bartender said, "I'm not serving you.  The last time you were here you left such a mess."

And Pearl Harbor left feeling destroyed by the bartender's words.

"How many Pearl Harbors does it take to change light bulb?"

"How many?"

"None.  The bombs broke all the bulbs."

"Why did Pearl Harbor cross the road?"

"Why?"

"To devastate the other side."

"Knock.  Knock."

"Who's there?

"Pearl Harbor."

Pearl Harbor who?"

BOOM!

ON TERRORISM (And Other Minor Irritations)

Regarding the attack in Ottawa yesterday, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says,  "We will not be intimidated."
Okay, so why are we increasing security all over the place?

Someone said that the terrorist attacked the heart of Canada's democracy.  Really?  Is Ottawa the heart of Canada's democracy, or the kidney of Canada's corruption?

EVER HAD ONE OF THOSE DAYS?

Poor Sybil!  She labored all night building the best web a spider could build.  She used her skills to ensure that it was a perfect spider's web - the best spider's web ever!
Her "perfect" spider's web went down the drain, in the morning, when the Smiths used their bathroom sink.   Location!  Location!  Location!

A bad guy was on his way to a witness' house to ensure that the witness would not testify against the bad guy or his friends.  In the car, with the bad guy, was a bomb to blow up the witness.  No witness.  No evidence.

The bad guy had one of those days when the bomb accidentally went off in his car while he was driving.  Bye Bye bad guy!

How come we never hear a week, a month or a year say, "I'm having one of those days."?  Does that mean that weeks, months or years never have one of those days, or do have them and never complain?

Does God ever have one of those days?  Does God ever get up to find that the Universe is not unfolding as it should, and everything is going wrong?  What does God do when that happens?  Call a life coach?  Call a therapist?  Take antidepressants?  Meditate?  Do affirmations?  What does God do when having one of those days?

One of the ways of dealing with one of those days, is denial . . .
