Black & white

~~~ Life in Black and White ~~~
For older folks only - (Under 40? You won't
understand.)
You could hardly see for all the snow,
Spread the rabbit ears as far as they go.
Pull a chair up to the TV set,
"Good night, David; Good night, Chet."
Dependin' on the channel you tuned
You got Rob and Laura - or Ward and June.
It felt so good, felt so right.
Life looked better in black and white.
I Love Lucy, The Real McCoys
Dennis the Menace, the Cleaver boys
Rawhide, Gunsmoke, Wagon Train
Superman, Jimmy & Lois Lane.
Father Knows Best, Patty Duke
Donna Reed on Thursday night--
Life looked better in black and white.
I wanna go back to black and white.
Everything always turned out right.
Simple people, simple lives
Good guys always won the fights.
Now nothing is the way it seems
In living color on the TV screen.
Too many murders! , too much fight,
I wanna go back to black and white
In God they trusted, in bed they slept.
A promise made was a promise kept.
They never cussed or broke their vows.
They'd never make the network now.
But if I could, I'd rather be
In a TV town in '53.
It felt so good, felt so right
Life looked better in black and white.
I'd trade all the channels on the satellite
If I could just turn back the clock tonight
To when everybody knew wrong from right
Life was better in black and white!
We make a living by what we get
We make a life by what we give

~~~ Sports In The Bible ~~~
How is baseball reminiscent of the Old Testament?
The Book of Genesis talks about what happened in the "big inning".
Where was tennis first mentioned in the Old Testament?
In Exodus: Moses served in Pharaoh's courts.
How is tennis like a truly spiritual life?
Even if you have nothing, you still have love.
What does golf teach us about the church?
Well, you can "join the club" even if you are "below par".
But if you are a "big swinger", you had better "keep your head down" (and pray), or you'll end up getting "the shaft".

~~~ Joining The Army ~~~
As the family gathered for a big dinner together, the youngest son announced that he had just signed up at an army recruiter's office.
There were audible gasps around the table, then some laughter, as his older brothers shared their disbelief that he could handle this new situation. "Oh, come on, quit joking," snickered one. "You didn't really do that, did you?"
"You would never get through basic training," scoffed another.
The new recruit looked to his mother for help, but she was just gazing at him. When she finally spoke, she simply asked, "Do you really plan to make your own bed every morning?"
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
