Paul’s matter-of-fact acknowledgment, born of twenty years of first-hand experience, that the message he was preaching – that salvation as to be had through a crucified God – was considered by everyone to be either deeply obscene or totally, completely, tin-foil-hat ridiculous.

Subject: Winners Versus Losers
The Winner is always a part of the answer;
The Loser is always a part of the problem.
 
The Winner always has a program;
The Loser always has an excuse.
 
The Winner says, "Let me do it for you;"
The Loser says, "That's not my job."
 
The Winner sees an answer for every problem;
The Loser sees a problem in every answer.
 
The Winner says, "It may be difficult but it's possible;"
The Loser says, "It may be possible but it's too difficult."

A Child's Angel
 
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
 
So one day he asked God: They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?
 
Among the many angels out there, I chose a special one just for you. She will be waiting for you and will take care of you.
 
But tell me, here in heaven, I don't do anything else but sing and smile, that's enough for me to be happy.
 
Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you every day, and you will feel your angel's love and that will make you happy.
 
And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, if I don't know the language that men talk?
 
Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.
 
And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?
 
Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.
 
I've heard that on earth there are bad men. Who will protect me?
 
Your angel will defend you even if it means risking her life.
 
But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.
 
Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you the way for you to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you.
 
At the moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be heard, and the child in a hurry asked softly: Oh God, if I am about to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.
 
Your angel's name is of no importance, you will call your angel: Mommy.
 
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
