The Bear and The Two Travelers

        Two men were traveling together, when a Bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and concealed himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the Bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and feigned the appearance of death as much as he could. The Bear soon left him, for it is said he will not touch a dead body. When he was quite gone, the other Traveler descended from the tree, and jocularly inquired of his friend what it was the Bear had whispered in his ear. "He gave me this advice," his companion replied. "Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger."

The Religious Horse

Once a man bought a horse. You had to say "hallelujah" to make it go and "amen" to make it stop.
The man was riding his horse one day but then he realized he was riding to an edge of a cliff.
He was so scared he forgot how to make the horse stop. He thought this was the end of his life and he started praying, ending the prayer by saying "amen".
The horse suddenly stopped at the edge of the cliff. "Hallelujah!" said the man with a sigh of relief and off went the horse?

My Friends

Story begins about a year ago. I was still in high school. I had everything I wanted. I had close friends. Two of them were really close to me, and I considered them my best friends. One of them was a boy, and one of them was a girl.

As time passed I grew closer to both of them, the guy became like a brother to me, and I fell in love with the girl. Everything went well, and I thought she was in love with me as well. She gave me hints all the time, we kissed, she cried on my shoulder. Of course I told my best friend everything about her, how much I liked her. Me and him were hanging out every single day, he wouldn't leave till it got really late, say 4am. Days continued like this, and I fell in love with her more and more.

After a while my friend encouraged me to tell her how I felt. It was kind of tricky, because we had always been friends. I decided to just go for it, and I told her.

I was crushed. She didn't love me back, and I was wrong about the hints. She just saw me as her best friend. My heart broke, and I spent more time with my best friend to cheer up a little bit. Not a week later I decided that the three of us should go out. So we did.

As we went out I could tell my friend was hitting on her, and she seemed to like him back. I asked him, and he said it was nothing. It wasn't much later that I found out they kissed, and my heart broke again.

My friend knew how I felt about this girl, to me she was the love of my life. She still is. They started seeing each other, and as time progressed I got less attention every week. I didn't see my friend anymore, and I didn't see her anymore either.

I felt alone and decided to ask them why they didn't want to see me anymore. My friend was angry with me, because I didn't give them my best wishes right away. I should've been happy for him, although I could not be happy for him. Not this fast.

As more time passed I found myself alone, they did not contact me anymore and would ignore all my messages and calls. I did not know what to do so I spend my days alone. After some months I got an e-mail saying they apologize but don't want me in their life anymore.

Here I sit writing this story, and I'm still alone to this day. I cannot forget it, and cannot move passed it. I know it's not the worst thing ever, but to me it is. I lost my two best friends and the girl I love.

I am alone.

Miracle in Egypt

Broadcasted in CBS....
 
A Muslim man in Egypt killed his wife because she was
 reading the Bible and then buried her with their infant baby
 and an 8-year old daughter.
 
 The girls were buried alive! He then reported to the police
 that an uncle killed the kids. 15 days later, another family
 member died. When they went to bury him, they found the 2  little girls under the sand - ALIVE!

 The country is outraged over the incident, and the man will
 be  executed at the end of July.

 The older girl was asked how she had survived and she
 says:- 'A man wearing shiny white clothes, with bleeding
 wounds in his hands, came every day to feed us. He woke up my mom so she could nurse my sister,' she said. She was
 interviewed on Egyptian national TV, by a veiled Muslim
 woman news anchor. She said on public TV, 'This was none
 other than Jesus, because nobody else does things like this!'
Muslims believe Isa (Jesus) would do this, but the wounds mean He really was crucified, and it's clear also that He
is alive! But, it's also clear that the child could not make up a story like this, and there is no way these children could have survived without a true miracle...

 Muslim leaders are going to have a hard time to figure out
 what to do with this, and the popularity of the Passion
 movie doesn't help! With Egypt at the centre of the media and education in the Middle East , you can be sure this story will spread. Christ is still controlling and turning the
world. Please let this story be shared..
 
The Lord says, 'I will bless the person who puts his trust in me.    (Jeremiah 17)
