Today is Wednesday, November 10th, 2004; Karen's Korner #413
Several short thoughts for today's Karen's Korner. The first one was in our church bulletin last week. A thought as we come up to Veteran's Day tomorrow and as fighting continues in several "hot spots" around the wordl:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from
extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the
bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed
on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our
sunset years telling our children and our children's
children what it was once like in the United States where
men were free."
-- President Ronald Reagan

#2 is a 'pass around' that I have received several times in the past week or so. This one is from Tim and Shelley Fletcher:
God's best friend !!!!
A dog had followed his owner to school. His owner was a fourth grader at a public elementary school. However, when the bell rang, the dog sidled inside the building and made it all the way to the child's classroom before a teacher noticed and shooed him outside, closing the door behind him.
The dog sat down, whimpered and stared at the closed doors.
Then God appeared beside the dog, patted his head, and said, "Don't feel bad fella'.... they won't let ME in either."

And #3 is from Kevin Rayner, who writes a periodic email column called "Off the Church Walls":
A young father pushed the shopping cart carrying the screaming baby through the super market muttering gently under his breath. "Easy, Freddy, calm down now. Everything's all right, boy. Come on, Freddy, don't get upset." A lady customer commented approvingly to him, "You are very patient with little Freddy." The young father looked up glumly, "Lady, I am Freddy."
