A farmer was detained for questioning about an election scandal. "Did you sell your vote?" the attorney asked. "No sir, not me," the farmer protested. "I voted for that there fella 'cause I like him." "Come now," threatened the attorney. "I have evidence that he gave you fifty dollars for a vote." The farmer said, "Well now, it's plain common sense that when a fella gives you fifty dollars you like him."
In 1845, Henry David Thoreau built a tiny cabin beside Walden Pond in Concord, Massachusetts. Thoreau lived in utter simplicity during the two years in which he called that cabin home. His book, 'Walden,' stands as a classic in American literature as it presents Thoreau's philosophy of simplifying our environment, needs, and ambitions be redefining pleasure and success.
~ Jean Fleming
Something to Ponder
Judges certainly are getting tougher on criminals. They're giving them much longer suspended sentences.
Afresh I seek Thee. Lead me--once more I pray--Even should it be against my will, thy way. ~ George MacDonald
