This is not intended to be a joke, it's not intended to be funny; it's intended to get you thinking.
Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her "How could GOD let something like this happen?" ( regarding the attacks on Sept. 11 ).
Anne Graham gave an extremely profound and insightful response.
She said "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling GOD to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out.
How can we expect GOD to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"
In light of recent events... terrorists attack, school shootings, etc. I think it started when Madeleine Murray O'Hare (she was murdered, her body found recently) complained she didn't want prayer in our schools,
and we said OK.
Then someone said you better not read the Bible in school... the Bible says thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as yourself.
And we said OK.
Then Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they misbehave because their little personalities would be warped and we might damage their self-esteem (Dr. Spock's son committed suicide). We said an expert should know what he's talking about.
And we said OK.
Then someone said teachers and principals better not discipline our children when they misbehave. The school administrators said no faculty member in this school better touch a student when they misbehave because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely don't want to be sued. There's a big difference between disciplining, touching, beating, smacking, humiliating, kicking, etc.).
And we said OK.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have abortions if they want, and they won't even have to tell their parents.
And we said OK.
Then some wise school board member said, since boys will be boys and they're going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the condoms they want so they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't have to tell their parents they got them at school.
And we said OK.
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs. Agreeing with them, we said it doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the President, does in private as long as I have a job and the economy is good.
And we said OK.
Then someone said let's print magazines with pictures of nude women and call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the beauty of the female body.
And we said OK.
And then someone else took that appreciation a step further and published pictures of nude children and then further again by making them available on the Internet.
And we said OK, (they're entitled to free speech)
.Then the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. Let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, nobody takes it seriously anyway,
And we said OK..
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to do with
"WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Funny how simple it is for people to trash GOD and then wonder why the world's going to hell. Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Funny how you can send 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny how lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene articles pass freely through cyberspace, but public discussion of GOD is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Are you laughing?

Smiling.
Smiling is infectious,
You can catch it like the flu.
When someone smiled at me today,
I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner
And someone saw my grin.
When he smiled I realized
I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile
Then I realized its worth.
A single smile like mine
Could travel around the earth.
So if you feel a smile begin,
Don't leave It undetected.
Let's start an epidemic quick,
And get the world infected.
Surely this will give you a smile.

The following is a question given in a University of Washington chemistry mid-term exam. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor decided to share it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well. Here goes:
Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?
(Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law I.e. gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed, or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:)
First, we need to know how the mass of heck is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into heck and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today.
Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in heck to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in heck because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in heck to stay the same, the volume of heck has to expand proportionately as souls are added.
This gives two possibilities:
1. If heck is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in heck will increase until all heck breaks loose.
2. If heck is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until heck freezes over.
So which is it?
If we accept the postulate given to me by Sylvia during my Freshman year that, "It will be a cold day in heck before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two must be true and thus I am sure that heck is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since heck has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct ... leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Sylvia kept shouting "Oh my God."
The student received an A+.
