Thought for Today:  Thank God for Good Government

"Living in the broken world that we do, we observe that a government is never all good. While we can influence our government to be better, we know that the ultimate root of all problems is our sin-filled world. There is no political solution to this problem. Only Jesus can & does wipe away our sin & bring ultimate peace."  Portals of Prayer, May 21, 2010

Criminal Minds

Norfolk Daily News (5/18):  "Parrot disturbance. Police were called to investigate a domestic disturbance in a southern German town--& found a man arguing with a parrot. A resident in Loerrach, near the Swiss border, called the emergency number to report his concerns about loud shouting from a next-door apartment that had been going on for some time.
          "Officers sent to the scene found there was a loud argument going on--but it was between a 22-year-old man & a parrot. The man told them he had been annoyed with the bird, which belonged to his girlfriend. The parrot responded to being shouted at with loud noises of its own. Police said it couldn't speak but could bark like a dog. Since no one was hurt, the officers left."  COMMENT:  I thought this might be of special interest to John & Lori.

Dept. of Shameless Joke Stealing

NDN late laughs (5/18):  "A CO woman was given an apple on her flight home from Paris. She put it in her bag as a snack for later & forgot about it, & now she's facing a $500 fine for not declaring it at customs. I'd be suspicious of this woman, too. I mean, who eats an apple at the airport when there's a Cinnabon right there?" (The Late Late Show w/James Corden)
