Which Parts Of The Bible Are Written To You? In regard to the quality of day-by-day life for a Christian, the subject of the administrations in Scripture is, in my opinion, perhaps more important than any other general biblical topic. Why? Because the understanding or misunderstanding of it affects many vital subjects critical to emotional health, starting with whether or not salvation is permanent. "What does the Bible say?" That is always the "bottom line," but the answer must be understood in light of to whom the Bible is speaking. Read the rest or listen/view the Video Here: http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/BibleStudy/whichparts.html AND: The Sacred Secret In the books, articles, videos, and audio teachings of Spirit & Truth Fellowship we call the administration in which we live "the Administration of the Sacred Secret," and we translate the Greek word musterion as "Sacred Secret." We believe that "Sacred Secret" is the best translation of the Greek word musterion, a Greek word that most Bible versions translate as "mystery."

My wife is a very reasonable woman.

He answered, "That's okay." "I know it's silly, but if you'd call out 'Good bye, Mom' as I leave the store, it would make me feel so happy." She then went through the checkout, and as she was on her way out of the store, the man called out, "Goodbye, Mom." The little old lady waved and smiled back at him.. Pleased that he had brought a little sunshine into someone's day, he went to pay for his groceries. "That comes to $121.85," said the clerk. "How come so much? I only bought 5 items."

Two Indians and I were walking through the woods. All of a sudden one of the Indians ran up a hill to the mouth of a small cave. "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" he called into the cave and listened closely until he heard an answering, "Wooooo! Wooooo! Woooooo!" He then tore off his clothes and ran into the cave. I was puzzled and asked the remaining Indian what it was all about. "Was that Indian crazy or what?" The Indian replied "No, It is our custom during mating season when Indian men see cave, they holler 'Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!' into the opening. If they get an answer back, it means there's a beautiful woman in there waiting for us." Just then they came upon another cave. The second Indian ran up to the cave, stopped, and hollered, "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" Immediately, there was the answer. "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" from deep inside. He also tore off his clothes and ran into the opening. I wandered around in the woods alone for a while, and then spied a third large cave. As I looked in amazement at the size of the huge opening, I was thinking, "Hoo, man! Look at the size of this cave! It's bigger than those the Indians found. There must be some really big, fine women in this cave!" I stood in front of the opening and hollered with all my might, "Wooooo! Wooooo! Wooooo!" Like the others, I then heard an answering call, "WOOOOOOOOO, WOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOO!" With a gleam in my eye and a smile on my face, I raced into the cave, tearing off my clothes as I ran. The following day, the headline of the local newspaper read ...

As he loaded his stolen car with his stolen belongings and family of ten, Renaldo told this reporter through an interpreter "It's a matter of principle; I refuse to be supported by a state that treats me like a criminal!" The effects of the exodus are being felt by Arizona retailers, who are reporting dwindling sales of beer, spray paint, and ammunition. Also hit hard are the state’s hospitals, which have reported a dramatic decline in births and emergency room visits. Tattoo parlors are in a state of panic.

Stay with this -- the answer is at the end. It will blow you away. One evening a grandson was talking to his grandfather about current events. The grandson asked his grandfather what he thought about the shootings at schools, the computer age, and just things in general.. The Grandfather replied, "Well, let me think a minute, I was born before: ' television ' penicillin ' polio shots ' frozen foods ' Xerox ' contact lenses ' Frisbees and ' the pill There were no: ' credit cards ' laser beams or ' ball-point pens Man had not invented: ' pantyhose ' air conditioners ' dishwashers ' clothes dryers ' and the clothes were hung out to dry in the fresh air and ' man hadn't yet walked on the moon Your Grandmother and I got married first,.. And then lived together.. Every family had a father and a mother. Until I was 25, I called every man older than me, "Sir". And after I turned 25, I still called policemen and every man with a title, "Sir." We were before gay-rights, computer- dating, dual careers, daycare centers, and group therapy. Our lives were governed by the Ten Commandments, good judgment, and common sense. We were taught to know the difference between right and wrong and to stand up and take responsibility for our actions. Serving your country was a privilege; living in this country was a bigger privilege... We thought fast food was what people ate during Lent. Having a meaningful relationship meant getting along with your cousins. Draft dodgers were those who closed front doors as the evening breeze started. Time-sharing meant time the family spent together in the evenings and weekends-not purchasing condominiums. We never heard of FM radios, tape decks, CDs, electric typewriters, yogurt, or guys wearing earrings. We listened to Big Bands, Jack Benny, and the President's speeches on our radios. And I don't ever remember any kid blowing his brains out listening to Tommy Dorsey. If you saw anything with 'Made in Japan ' on it, it was junk. The term 'making out' referred to how you did on your school exam.... Pizza Hut, McDonald's, and instant coffee were unheard of. We had 5&10-cent stores where you could actually buy things for 5 and 10 cents.Ice-cream cones, phone calls, rides on a streetcar, and a Pepsi were all a nickel. And if you didn't want to splurge, you could spend your nickel on enough stamps to mail 1 letter and 2 postcards. You could buy a new Chevy Coupe for $600, But who could afford one? Too bad, because gas was 11 cents a gallon. In my day: ' "grass" was mowed, ' "coke" was a cold drink, ' "pot" was something your mother cooked in and ' "rock music" was your grandmother's lullaby. ' "Aids" were helpers in the Principal's office, ' " chip" meant a piece of wood, ' "hardware" was found in a hardware store and ' "software" wasn't even a word. And we were the last generation to actually believe that a lady needed a husband to have a baby. No wonder people call us "old and confused" and say there is a generation gap. How old do you think I am? I bet you have this old lady in mind....you are in for a shock! Read on to see -- pretty scary if you think about it and pretty sad at the same time. Are you ready ?????

Agents at Dulles International Airport in Northern Virginia searched the luggage after the man admitted he had brought food into the country, the New York Daily News reported. But they weren't expecting meat cooked in a red gravy and divided into 15 plastic bags that weighed 88 pounds. "That's an awful lot of food product to stuff inside one's baggage," Christopher Hess, port director for the Port of Washington, said in a statement. Federal regulations say travelers can't bring animal products into the United States from countries known to harbor certain diseases, such as foot and mouth disease and swine fever, the Daily News said. Officials threw the meat into an incinerator but allowed the unnamed man make his connecting flight to Seattle. +-- Woman arrested for biting jerky in store --+ GRAYSLAKE, Ill. - Police in a Chicago suburb said they arrested a woman accused of biting several packages of beef jerky and returning them to a store shelf. Grayslake police said Wendy Staples, 50, refused to pay for the jerky after a Dollar General store manager observed her biting through the plastic of the packages and putting them back on the shelf, the Chicago Tribune reported Thursday. Sgt. Scott Heimos said Staples allegedly pushed the manager in the chest when she was asked to leave. He said Staples claimed to be a law enforcement officer during her arrest. "We know she's not, because we've dealt with her before," Heimos said. Staples was charged with criminal damage to property, battery and criminal trespass. She was released on $1,500 bond. Heimos said investigators do not know the motive behind the jerky-biting. >From 2009 Archives BizarreNews: -- Pig eats ring off woman's hand -------------- YORK, England - A British grandmother said she is not to blame for losing her engagement ring -- it was snatched by a hungry piglet with a taste for diamonds. Anne Moon, who has worn the ring since her now-husband gave it to her 30 years ago, said she was petting a 10-week-old Kune Kune piglet at the Easingwold Maize Maze Farm, near York, England, when the swine used its mouth to slip off her beloved jewel, The Sun reported Tuesday. "I've never been in such close contact with a pig before so I put my hand out flat to let it have a sniff," she said. "It just clamped its teeth around the ring and wouldn't let go. When I found the diamond was gone, I couldn't believe it. If the pig wasn't so dirty I think we would have put him in the back of the car and taken him home." Farmer Paul Caygill, 46, said he has been sifting through the piglet's droppings, but so far has found no trace of the precious ring. "I've been looking through the poo to try and find the ring," he said. Caygill said he hopes Moon doesn't have too much trouble convincing the insurance company to believe her story. "It's got to be one of the more unusual claims someone could put in for," he said. -- Man jailed for yawning in court -------------- JOLIET, Ill. - An Illinois man received a six-month contempt of court jail sentence for letting out a yawn as the judge was sentencing his cousin. Clifton Williams, 33, was at the fourth-floor courtroom at the Will County Courthouse in Joliet when he yawned audibly while Circuit Judge Daniel Rozak was sentencing his cousin to 2 years' probation on felony drug charges, the Chicago Tribune reported Monday. Williams, who was locked up July 23, was sentenced to six months in jail and must serve a minimum 21 days. "I was flabbergasted because I didn't realize a judge could do that," Williams' father, Clifton Williams Sr., said. "It seems to me like a yawn is an involuntary action." Chuck Pelkie, a spokesman for the state's attorney's office, quoted the prosecutor in the courtroom as saying "it was not a simple yawn -- it was a loud and boisterous attempt to disrupt the proceedings." Rozak is well known for dolling out contempt of court charges. There are 30 judges serving in the 12th Judicial Court, but more than one-third of all contempt charges brought since 1999 originated with Rozak. -- Couple collects outhouses as garden accent -------- SAUKVILLE, Wis. - A Wisconsin couple said they have amassed a collection of six antique outhouses to adorn the exotic gardens at their home. Andrea and John Jaeger of the Town of Saukville said they purchased their first outhouse more than 20 years ago at a Mequon, Wis., auction for $5 and friends soon began bringing aged outhouses to their garden to turn the single accent piece into a full-fledged collect- ion, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Monday. "We don't really want to collect them," John Jaeger said. "But we hate to see them being destroyed, because they're part of history." Jaeger said he considers his outhouse collect- ion to be complete, but he might be willing to make an exception if a particularly interesting piece catches his attention, such as a double-decker outhouse or one made from brick.

The pharmacist, a little bemused, explains to the woman they don't sell rectum deodorant, and never have. Unfazed, the blonde assures the pharmacist that she has been buying the stuff from this store on a regular basis and would like some more. "I'm sorry," says the pharmacist, "we don't have any." "But I always get it here," says the blonde. "Do you have the container it comes in?" "YES!", said the blonde, "I'll go home and get it." She returns with the container and hands it to the pharmacist who looks at it and says to her, "This is just a normal stick of underarm deodorant." Annoyed, the blonde snatches the container back and reads out loud from the container, "TO APPLY, PUSH UP BOTTOM." -<>- >Blond Detectives A policeman was interrogating 3 blondes who were training to become detectives. To test their skills in recognizing a suspect, he shows the first blonde a picture for 5 seconds and then hides it. "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The first blonde answers, "That's easy, we'll catch him fast because he only has one eye!" The policeman says, "Well...uh...that's because the picture shows his profile." Slightly flustered by this ridiculous response, he flashes the picture for 5 seconds at the second blonde and asks her, "This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The second blonde giggles, flips her hair and says, "Ha! He'd be too easy to catch because he only has one ear!" The policeman angrily responds, "For Goodness sake, what’s the matter with you two?? Of course only one eye and one ear are SHOWING because it's a picture of his profile!! Is that the best answer you can come up with?!?" Extremely frustrated at this point, he shows the picture to the third blonde and in a very testy voice asks, "Now think hard before giving me a stupid answer. This is your suspect, how would you recognize him?" The blonde looks at the picture intently for a moment and says, "Hmmmm...The suspect wears contact lenses..." The policeman is surprised and speechless... "Wow! I can't believe it ... it's TRUE! The suspect does in fact wear contact lenses. Good work! How were you able to make such an astute observation??" "That's easy," the blonde replied. "He can't wear regular glasses because he only has one eye and one ear..." -<>- >Blonde in an Electronics Store A blonde walked into an electronics store and told the salesman, "I want that T.V." and she points to the display. He looks at her and tells her, "I'm sorry, I'm not allowed to sell that to blondes." So the blonde, all ticked off, walks out of the store. An hour later, she walks back into the same store with a black wig on. She walks up to the salesman and says, "I want to buy that T.V." and she points to the display. He looks at her and says, "I'm sorry, but I already told you we can't sell that to blondes." So she walks out of the store mad again without a T.V. A few weeks later she gets a makeover, new hair color and everything, and she walks back into that electronics store. She walks up to the salesman and says, "I want to buy that T.V." and points to the display. The salesman shakes his head and tells her, "I told you twice already, I can't sell that to blondes." The blonde looks at him and says, "How do you know that I'm a blonde?" He looks at her and states, "Because, that's a microwave." -<>- >Ice Fishing This blonde really wanted to go ice fishing. She’d seen many books on the subject, and finally, after getting all the necessary tools together, she made for the nearest frozen lake. After positioning her comfy footstool, she started to make a circular cut in the ice. Suddenly---from the sky---a voice boomed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a Thermos of cappuccino, and began to cut yet another hole. Again, from the heavens, the voice bellowed, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" The Blonde, now quite worried, moved way down to the opposite end of the ice, set up her stool, and tried again to cut her hole. The voice came once more, even louder: "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE!" She stopped, looked skyward, and said, "Is that you, Lord?" The voice replied, "NO, THIS IS THE ICE RINK MANAGER!" -<>- >Lost In the Snow A blonde got lost in her car in a snow storm. She remembered what her dad had once told her. "If you ever get stuck in a snow storm, wait for a snow plow and follow it." Pretty soon a snow plow came by, and she started to follow it. She followed the plow for about forty five minutes. Finally the driver of the truck got out and asked her what she was doing. She explained that her dad had told her if she ever got stuck in the snow, to follow a plow. The driver nodded and said, "Well, I'm done with the Wal-Mart parking lot, now you can follow me over to K-Mart." -<>- >Wanna Hear A Blonde Joke? A blind man enters a Ladies Bar by mistake. He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a drink. After sitting there for awhile, he yells to the bartender, "Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?” The bar immediately falls absolutely quiet. In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says, "Before you tell that joke, sir, you should know five things ..... 1 - The bartender is a blonde girl. 2 - The bouncer is a blonde gal. 3 - I'm a 6 feet tall, 200 pound blonde woman with a black belt in karate. 4 - The woman sitting next to me is blonde and is a professional weightlifter. 5 - The lady to your right is a blonde and is a professional wrestler. Now think about it seriously, Mister. Do you still wanna tell that joke? The blind man thinks for a second, shakes his head, and declares, "Nah...Not if I'm gonna have to explain it five times." -<>- A blonde is terribly overweight, so her doctor puts her on a diet. "I want you to eat regularly for two days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for two weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least five pounds." When the blonde returns, she's lost nearly 20 pounds. "Why, that's amazing!" the doctor says. "Did you follow my instructions?" The blonde nods. "I'll tell you, though, I thought I was going to drop dead that third day." "From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor. "No, from skipping." -<>- An executive was interviewing a young blonde for a position in his company. He wanted to find out something about her personality so he asked, "If you could have a conversation with anyone, living or dead, who would it be?" The blonde quickly responded, "The living one." ============================================================== >-->FUN Places To Net Visit :) Real Fantasy Trees http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/trees.html Miniature Wonderland http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/modeltrain.html Wall Mural Art 3 http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/wallart3.html Grand Canyon Skywalk http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/skywalk.html Best Bed Positions http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/bed.html Giethoorn - The Venice Of Holland http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/gvillage.html Extreme Camping http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/camp.html Jellyfish Lake http://www.shangralafamilyfun.com/jellyfish.html -<>- >From Our Friend Wesley :) Wesley sent us ones we have pages on here...

They're afraid that the game could affect children's self esteem. This also could prevent the spread of 'kooties'." --Jay Leno "I like to watch the World Series. Here's what I do. I sit down and drink a few beers in my underwear and scream at the TV. That's until they throw me out of Applebees." --Dave Letterman "Beverly Hills is the worst place for trick-or-treating. It's a little different here. The kids email you pictures of them in costumes. Then they fax their candy list and you have it delivered by a messenger." --Jay Leno "I remember Halloween. When I was a kid mom dressed me up six years in a row as a tramp. High heels, fishnets, it was bad." --Dave Letterman "At the airport they asked me if anybody I didn't know gave me anything. Even the people I know don't give me anything." --George Wallace "When you get married and have a kid, you can't do all of those things you wanted to do as a young existentialist of seventeen or eighteen... like kill yourself." --Al Rae "I'm very, very jealous. Sometimes I walk down the street and I see a beautiful woman and I think to myself: "I'll bet my boyfriend would like to sleep with her" and I get SO ANGRY. I run right home and smack him, and say, 'How much more of this do you think I can take?'" --Denise Munro "The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax." - Albert Einstein "I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it." - Pablo Picasso "Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, 'Where have I gone wrong?'
