A third-grade Sunday school teacher was giving a Bible lesson on the commandment, honor thy father and thy mother.
"Now, does anyone know a commandment for brothers and sisters?"
One sharp girl raised her hand and said, "'Thou shalt not kill.'"

" 'Jesus Christ - wanted for sedition, criminal anarchy, vagrancy, and conspiracy to overthrow the established government. dressed poorly; said to be a carpenter by trade; ill-nourished; associates with common working people, unemployed and bums. alien; said to be a jew.' Two Pennsylvania shopkeepers faced prosecution in 1971 after placing these words on a sign in their shop window."
"Such a reception of the sign cannot be judged false: the objectors are a party in a dialogue. the two shopkeepers who wrote it could even be pleased at finding such attentive readers... this is an instance of negative communication: either the sign is misunderstood and disliked, or it is disliked because it is understood. so far as the authors are concerned, the difference is immaterial."

A hundred days have made me older Since the last time that I saw your pretty face A thousand lies have made me colder And I don't think I can look at this the same But all the miles that separate Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight it's only you and me, yeah
The miles just keep rollin' As the people leave their way to say hello I've heard this life is overrated But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh yeah yeah
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it's only you and me
Everything I know and anywhere I go It gets hard but it won't take away my love And when the last one falls, when it's all said and done It gets hard but it won't take away my love, whoa
I'm here without you baby But you're still on my lonely mind I think about you baby And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you baby But you're still with me in my dreams And tonight girl it's only you and me, yeah oh yeah oh

No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.
