GOD SHOWS A SIGN

Caller ID
On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer the phone.
The pastor let the phone ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways.
The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night.
The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about. Then the man said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife.
The man said, "That's, OK. Let me tell you my story.
You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.' At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer!"
The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came from "Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!!
If you believe that God answers prayers then pass this on. God bless!
READ EACH SENTENCE SLOWLY AND THINK ABOUT IT.

Love starts with a smile, grows with a kiss, and ends with a tear.

Don't cry over anyone who won't cry over you.

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget.

Don't let the past hold you back, you're missing the good stuff.

BEST FRIENDS are the siblings God forgot to give us.

When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your BEST FRIEND will be there.

Funny Thoughts On Exercise...

I have to exercise early in the morning before my brain figures out what I'm doing.
**********
My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. Now she's 97 years old and we don't know where the hell she is.

**********
I have flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.
**********
The only reason I would take up exercising is so that I could hear heavy breathing again.
**********
I joined a health club last year, spent about 400 bucks. Haven't lost a pound. Apparently you have to show up.
**********
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
**********
The advantage of exercising every day is that you die healthier.
**********
I don't exercise at all. If God meant us to touch our toes, he would have put them further up our body.

CELL PHONES COOK YOUR BRAIN,

CELL PHONES COOK YOUR BRAIN,
PERMANENTLY

I have permanently switched off my cell phone and I am directing my
computer maintenance guy to remove wireless internet connection.

Last year a friend had warned not to use cell phone,
I did sparingly, because I did not have the time to research the fact.

Now, thanks to Sepp Haselberg, I am nearly well informed to take the decision
and remove cell phone from my life.
Those of you interested may wish to visit his website.
The URL is: http://www.newmedia explorer. org/sepp/ health.htm

Its a properly referenced article sent by Sepp, for starters.
It is in your interest to print this and make every body in your house read it thoroughly.
Make sure that children and pregnant women are NEVER allowed to use cell phone.

We now need a public debate on health effects of wireless technology.
We need to ask the Health Ministry and the industry exactly what they have done
in this matter. If we don't get straight answer, we need to be prepared for a writ petition
seeking direction to the Government to take appropriate measures, including restriction
on use. There is also a need to discuss and debate, instead of closing ones' eyes
to this weapon of mass debility.

It is earnest appeal to engineers, doctors and scientists, who understand microwave
technology to please come out with the facts for the general public.

There is enough medical and scientific data in Russia, Europe and the US for starters.
The ICMR can install a proper medical surveillance and some mitigation protocol.
Diseases induced by wireless technology also has huge implication for those of us
on health insurance. Would insurance company pay my medical costs if I fall ill because
of wireless induced disease but the doctors fail to connect that and conclude that it was
because of a disease I already have [which is declared to the insurance company.
I suffer from asthma]?

In case any one is interested, there are ten key papers on Sepp's website
(sent to me by Arun Shrivastava)

Corn Snake-Albino Snake

The Corn Snake (Elaphe guttata guttata) or Red Rat Snake (Pantherophis guttatus) is a North American species of Rat Snake. A Corn Snake suffocates its prey by wrapping its body around it. Constricting prey is a basic instinct for a type of snake called a constrictor, and it will perform this action in the wild and in captivity. Like any animal, temperament and behavior is different for each snake. Corn snakes are generally docile, make excellent pets, and rarely bite. Their average adult length is about 1.2 to 1.8 metres (4–6 ft) fully grown, and they can live up to 20 years. They are found throughout the south-eastern and central United States as well as parts of Mexico. The name 'Corn Snake' may refer to the splotched pattern on its belly, which resembles Indian maize. Some, however, believe it is because they are often found in corn fields where they search for rodent prey, usually mice or rats.

You Can't Send a Duck to Eagle School

The eagle gently coaxed her offspring toward the edge of the nest. Her heart quivered with conflicting emotions as she felt their resistance to her persistent nudging.

“Why does the thrill of soaring have to begin with the fear of falling?” she thought. This ageless question still remained unanswered for her. As in the tradition of the species, her nest was located high upon the shelf of a sheer rock face. Below there was nothing but air to support the wings of each child.

“Is it possible that this time it will not work?” she thought. Despite her fears, the eagle knew it was time. Her parental mission was all but complete. There remained one final task – the push. The eagle drew courage from an innate wisdom.

Until her children discovered their wings, there was no purpose for their lives. Until they learned how to soar, they would fail to understand the privilege of having been born an eagle. The push was the greatest gift she had to offer.

It was her supreme act of love. And so, one by one, she pushed them and they flew. My dear friends, Even Eagles Need A Push. It’s human nature to take the path of least resistance. Although most people truly want to reach their full potential, they don’t always have the initiative and the discipline to get started on their own.

One of your greatest responsibilities as a leader is to enable your people to be all they can be. Many times “the push”, with a little encouragement, is all they need.

If.....

If no one in my messenger list is online when I am being bored to death,

If no good program is being aired on the TV when I have the remote,

If no one picks up my call when I am in a mood to talk,

If there is no good movie in any theatre when I have time to watch a movie,

If I don’t get an auto when I have to go somewhere urgently,

If there is a power cut when I want to watch a good movie on the TV,

If I get a good book to read when I don’t have the time to read,

If the cook in the hostel prepares the worst ever dish when I am dying of hunger,

If it rains when I forget to take my umbrella,

If the movie that I watched on the very first day is a flop,

If I find a dress that I have been longing to buy at the last week of the month,

If I had to go out of the city on the same day when one of my friends is coming to the city,

If the battery of my phone goes dead when I am expecting an important call,

If an important wedding is scheduled on the day when it is impossible to get leave,

If I get a high priority issue on the day I plan to leave early,

If the nail polish that I liked very much doesn’t suit me,

If no good songs are being played in the radio when I am in a mood to listen,

If the dish I ordered is not available in the restaurant at that time,

If someone picks up the call when I try to give them a missed call,

If my hair becomes messy when I forget to carry a comb with me,

If I terribly feel like eating an ice cream when I have severe cold,

If I don’t have time when I have great thoughts to post on my blog,

I think my life is pretty normal and go to bed happily……….

How smart is Your Right Foot??

How smart is Your Right Foot??
Just try this. It is from an orthopedic surgeon............
This will boggle your mind and you will keep trying over and over again to see if you can outsmart your foot, but, you can't. It's preprogrammed in your brain!

1. WITHOUT anyone watching you (they will think you are GOOFY......) and while sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise Circles.
2. Now, while doing this, draw the number "6" in the air with your right Hand. Your foot will change direction.
I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done, you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so.
Send it to your friends to frustrate them too!!!!!!!!!!!!!
