Fake Check Scams at Fraud.org

Any company you do business with on the list?
For me Verizon (but just was bought out in our area), Comcast, and we have Virgin Atlantic cell phones which are on the Sprint network but I have not a complaint.

Customer Service Hall of Shame

Read down and there is another article link for the best companies with customer service that is outstanding.

I am giving Pastor Dave the gift of laughter with this post in his honor.  Now which one is he, #1, #2 or #3 (just joking)?  Blessings to you all.

Three pastors went to the pastor convention and were all sharing one room.

The first pastor said, "Let's confess our secret sins one to another.

"I'll start. my secret sin is I just love to gamble. When I go out of town, it's cha-ching cha-ching, let the machines ring."

The second pastor said, "My secret sin is that I just hate working. I copy all my sermons from those given by other pastors."

The third pastor said, "My secret sin is gossiping and, oh boy, I just can't wait to get out of this room!"

You are invited to my cyber-party at Penny Lane.

5 or 6 Snickers candy bars, cut up

This is best when prepared right before you plan to serve.

There is no investment you'll ever make that will pay you so well as the effort to scatter sunshine and good cheer where ever you are.

The deepest principal in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.
If you treat an individual as if they were what they ought to be and could be,
they will become what they ought to be and could be.

Everyone thrives on being appreciated, loved and needed.
There is no stimulus like that which comes from the consciousness of knowing that others believe in you.

Applaud others when they run.
Console them when they fail.
And cheer them when they recover.

As water is to a flower,
so is praise to the heart of another.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time, accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; that I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.
Amen.
