A Blonde's Breast Stroke

There were three women competing in the recent Breast Stroke division of an English Channel swim, a brunette, a redhead and a blonde.It was a fierce race with the brunette and the redhead exchanging the lead across the long stretch of water. As they stroked closer and closer to the shores of France, the blonde fell further behind.Finally, the brunette came in first, with the redhead a close second. Everyone cheered and the two women congratulated each other on such a fine race. But the blonde swimmer was still nowhere to be seen.Much, much later, the blonde woman finally reached shore completely exhausted.After being revived with blankets and coffee, she agreed to speak to the eager press."Can you please tell us what caused you to finish so far behind the other racers in today's race?" the first reporter asked.The blonde shook her head, then remarked, "I don't want to complain, but I think those other two girls used their arms!"

To Every Thing There is a Season

Ecclesiastes 3 1-8

To everything there is a season,and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones,and a time to gather stones together;a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose;a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew;a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate;a time of war, and a time of peace.

THE SEASONS OF LIFE
At birth we're nothing more you see Than just a sapling of a tree. A tree that sprouts up in the spring To show new life to everything.
We stay this way for a quiet time Then, like the tree, we learn to climb Unlike the tree which grows alone We must be taught the art at home.
"As the twig is bent so grows the tree."It's much the same with you and me For as we're taught, so will we grow And what we learn is all we'll know.
If we permit within this life The little bird with all its strife To land upon our limbs and sing Then we'll be like the tree in spring.
In later, life when in our teensIf we should act like kings or queens The value of our fruit will be That equal to the great oak tree.
The color of our locks of hair Is like the leaves the tree will wear And all too soon, in life we find The summer time we've left behind
Thus in the fall the leaves doth turn Just as in life for youth we yearn For in the fall of life you see Again we are just like the tree.
The tree must show in colors bright That soon the wind will chill the night.'Tis time for man just past his prime To settle down for winter time.
In wintertime, the tree is bare With nests, where robins struggled there The same is true when mortal man Has always done the best he can.
When in this life of you or me If we have been what we should be There is no place for deep regret For, like the tree, we still live yet.

A Prayer in Spring

by Robert Frost Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers today;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.
Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.
And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid-air stands still.
For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfill.
Amen
