God's Creation - Revised Version

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the
Earth and populated the Earth with broccoli,
cauliflower and spinach, green and yellow and red
vegetables of all kinds, so Man and Woman would
live long and healthy lives.

Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben
and Jerry's Ice Cream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And
Satan said, "You want chocolate with that?"

And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "and as long
as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained
10 pounds. And Satan smiled.

And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman
might keep the figure that Man found so fair. And
Satan brought forth white flour from the wheat,
and sugar from the cane and combined them. And

Woman went from size 6 to size 14.

So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan
presented Thousand-Island Dressing, buttery
croutons and garlic toast on the side. And Man and
Woman unfastened their belts following the repast.

God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy
vegetables and olive oil in which to cook them."
And
Satan brought forth deep fried fish and
chicken-fried steak so big it needed its own
platter. And Man gained more weight and his
cholesterol went through the roof.

God then created a light, fluffy white cake, named
it "Angel Food C ake," and said, "It is good."
Satan then created chocolate cake and named it
"Devil's Food."

God then brought forth running shoes so that His
children might lose those extra pounds. And Satan
gave cable TV with a remote control so Man would
not have to toil changing the channels. And Man and
Woman laughed and cried before the flickering blue
light and gained pounds.

Then God brought forth the potato, naturally low
in fat and brimming with nutrition. And Satan peeled
off the healthful skin and sliced the starchy center
into chips and deep-fried them. And
Man gained pounds.

God then gave lean beef so that Man might consume
fewer calories and still satisfy his appetite. And
Satan created McDonald's and its 99-cent double
cheeseburger. Then said, "You want fries with
that?"
And Man replied, "Yes! And super size them!" And
Satan said, "It is good." And Man went into
cardiac arrest.

God sighed and created quadruple bypass surgery.

Then Satan created HMOs.

If you don't send this to five old friends right
away there will be five fewer people laughing in
the world.

SHOCKING TRUE STORY

This "SHOCKING TRUE STORY" has been circulating around since 2002 with the name of the place where the incident occurred changed several times. So, before you forward this around, read what Snopes has to say about it first.

-------------------------------------------------

A woman at a Gas nightclub (Mumbai) on Saturday night was taken by 5
men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before
dumping her at Bandstand Mumbai. Unable to remember the events of the
evening, tests later confirmed the repeat rapes along with traces of
rohypnol in her blood.
Rohypnol, date rape drug is an essentially a small sterilization pill.
The drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape AND sterilize
their victims. All they have to do is drop it into the girl's drink.
The girl can't remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken
place the night before. Rohypnol, which dissolves in drinks just as
easily, is such that the victim doesn't conceive from the rape and the
rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test identifying him months later.
The Drug's affects ARE NOT TEMPORARY - they are PERMANENT... Any female
that takes it WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO CONCEIVE. The weasels can get this
drug from anyone who is in the vet school or any university.... It's that
easy, and Rohypnol is about to break out big on campuses everywhere.
Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people
how to use it.
Please forward this to everyone you know, especially girls. Girls, be
careful when you're out and don't leave your drink unattended. (added -
Buy your own drinks, ensure bottles or cans received are unopened or
sealed; don't even taste someone else's drink.
There was already been a report in Singapore of girls drink been spike
by Rohypnol. Please make the effort to forward this to everyone you
know.....for guys Pls inform all your female friends and relatives... .remember you also have daughters and sisters.

Is Wealth the Way to Happiness?

With money you can buy a house, but not a home.
With money you can buy a clock, but not time.
With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.
With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.
With money you can buy a doctor, but not good health.
With money you can buy a position, but not respect.
With money you can buy a blood, but not life.
With money you can buy a sex, but not love.

When I received a powerpoint slide of the above Chinese proverbs, it reminded me of a talk I have attended at Sungai Long Buddhist Society by a monk, Ven. Dhammavuddho. The topic he spoke about was, "Is Wealth the Way to Happiness?”

He said that, while wealth can provide a good lifestyle, when people are unhappy it is caused either by greed, anger, hatred or delusion. We are living in self-delusion when we become angry on hearing words, that are perceived wrong, said about us. We can become outraged and live in hatred because of the ego aspects of self. And when we have abundance but still yearn for more, we are living like hungry ghosts. We give others an impression of wealth but on the inside we behave like paupers. We live on high expectations and greed for more as we are not contended with what we have.

Is it possible to be happy living in wealth when there are no other blessings in your life? Amassing wealth becomes fruitless when you do not have the blessings of life to enjoy it fully. So, wealth is one of the blessings but not the most important one to accumulate towards happiness.

Many things in life happen only once in a life time, example, you can be a "sweet 16" only once in your lifetime. You cannot recapture the joy of bring up your children and have them always by your side when they are all grown up and have families of their own. If you are lying on your death bed, recalling your past, think about what it is that you will regret not having done. Reflect on this as your “second chance” and work towards all the blessings that you should now acquire to give you a happy life and a better rebirth.

Something for us to know.....

I was talking with a lawyer friend of mine. We were discussing the law
and women`s rights. She told me about this incident - a young girl was
raped by a man posing as a plain clothes officer ; he asked her to come
to the police station when she and her male friend didn't have a
driver`s license to show. He sent the boy off to get his license and
asked the girl to accompany him to the police station. Took her instead
to an isolated area where the horrendous crime was committed.

Infact, the law clearly states that between 6 pm and 6am , a woman has
the right to REFUSE to go to the Police Station, even if an arrest
warrant has been issued against her. It is a procedural issue that a
woman can be arrested between 6pm and 6 am , ONLY if she is arrested by
a woman officer and taken to an ALL WOMEN police station. And if she is
arrested by a male officer, it has to be proven that a woman officer was
on duty at the time of arrest.

It is good for us to know our rights. To what extent it comes of use
remains to be seen in any situation. But as they say, knowledge is
power.

Just thought I`d share this with you.

I did not know this and am sure lot of us will not know this- please be
informed..... And pass on this info to whom all u know.......

The four blessed looks

Look back and thank God.
Look forward and trust God.
Look around and serve God.
Look within and find God!"

"I asked God, 'How do I get the best out of life?'

God said, 'Face your past without regrets. Handle your present with confidence. And prepare for the future without fear!'"

"Without God, our week is: Mournday, Tearsday, Wasteday, Thirstday, Fightday, Shatterday and Sinday. So, allow Him to be with you every day!"

"Life is short, so forgive quickly. Believe slowly. Love truly. Laugh uncontrollably. Never regret anything that makes you happy. And have a wonderful journey!!!"

The smell of rain

According to Snopes, this is a true story. As for some of the pictures that goes with the story, they are actually handmade miniatures by Camille Allen who live in Powell River, in British Columbia, Canada.

--------------------------------------
At the end of this story, it gives you two options. I think you will figure out what option I chose.

A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery.

Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news.
That afternoon of March 10, 1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24-weeks pregnant, to undergo an emergency Cesarean to deliver couple's new daughter, Dana Lu Blessing.

At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature.

Still, the doctor's soft words dropped like bombs.

"I don't think she's going to make it," he said, as kindly as he could.

"There's only a 10-percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one"

Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Dana would likely face if she survived.

She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on.

"No! No!" was all Diana could say.

She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four.

Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away

But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Dana's underdeveloped nervous system was essentially 'raw', the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn't even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love.

All they could do, as Dana struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl.

There was never a moment when Dana suddenly grew stronger.

But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there.

At last, when Dana turned two months old. her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time.

And two months later, though doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero, Dana went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted.

Five years later, when Dana was a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life.

She showed no signs whatsoever of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she was everything a little girl can be and more. But that happy ending is far from the end of her story.

One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Dana was sitting in her mother's lap in the bleachers of a local ball park where her brother Dustin's baseball team was practicing.

As always, Dana was chattering nonstop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, little Dana asked, "Do you smell that?"

Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, "Yes, it smells like r ain."

Dana closed her eyes and again asked, "Do you smell that?"

Once again, her mother replied, "Yes, I think we're about to get wet. It smells like rain."

Still caught in the moment, Dana shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced, "No, it smells like Him. It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest."

Tears blurred Diana's eyes as Dana happily hopped down to play with the other children.

Before the rains came, her daughter's words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along.

During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Dana on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well.

You now have 1 of 2 choices. You can either pass this on and let other people catch the chills like you did or you can delete this and act like it didn't touch your heart like it did mine.

IT'S YOUR CALL!

"I can do all things in Him who strengthens me."

This morning when the Lord opened a window to Heaven, He saw me, and He asked: "My child, what is your greatest wish for today?" I responded:
"Lord please, take care of the person who is reading this message, their family and their special friends. They deserve it and I love them very much" The love of God is like the ocean, you can see its beginning, but not its end.

The Fisherman

An American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican Village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked.

Inside the boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The banker complimented Miguel, the Mexican, on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them. Miguel replied that it took only a little while.

The banker then asked why he didn't stay out longer and catch more fish. Miguel said he had enough to support his family's immediate needs. The banker then asked, "But what do you do with the rest of your time?"

Miguel said, "I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos. I have a full and busy life, senor."

The banker scoffed, "I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing and, with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat. With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats."

"Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor, eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then LA and eventually NYC where you will run your expanding enterprise."

Miguel asked, "But senor, how long will this all take?"

To which the banker replied, "15-20 years."

"But what then, senor?"

The banker laughed and said "That's the best part. When the time is right you would announce a public listing and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich. You would make millions."

"Millions, senor? Then what?"

The banker said, "Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take a siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings, where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos."

THE CRACKED POT

A water-bearer in India had two large pots, each hung on the ends of a
pole which he carried across his neck . One of the pots had a crack in it
while the other pot was perfect, and always delivered a full portion of
water. At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the
cracked pot arrived only half- full. For a full two years, this went on daily,
with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots full of water to his
house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments.
But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and
miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been
made to do.

After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the
water-bearer one day by the stream . “I am ashamed of myself, and I
want to apologize to you. I have been able to deliver only half of my load
because this crack in my side causes water to leak all the way back to
your house . Because of my flaws, you have to do all this work, and you
don’t get full value for your efforts,” the pot said.

The bearer said to the pot,” Did you notice that there were flowers only
on your side of the path but not on other pot’s side ? That’s because I
have always known about your flaw, and I planted flower seeds your
side of the path, and every day while we walk back you have watered
them.

For two years, I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to
decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there
would not be this beauty to grace the house.”

Moral : Each of us has his own unique flaws. We’re all cracked pots but
it’s the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so
very interesting and rewarding. You’ve have just got to take each person for
what he is, and look for the good in him.

Blessed are the flexible for they shall not be bent out of shape.

Why is....?

A boy goes to his mother one day with a puzzled look.
'Mom, why is my bigger brother named Thunderstorm?'
She told him, 'Because he was conceived during a mighty storm.'
Then he asked, 'Why is my sister named Cornflower?'
She replied, 'Well, your father and I were in a cornfield when we
made her.'
'And why is my other sister called Moonchild?'
'Because we were watching the moon landing while she was conceived.'
Thoughtfully, Mother paused and asked her son, 'Tell me, Broken
Rubber, why are you so curious?'
