I find it hard to believe that bears made porridge and the only thing wrong with it was the temperature.
It was Judi's first plane trip.
Boarding the aircraft she settled into a window seat in the quietest part of the plane.
A man came over and politely said, "Ma'am, you're in my seat."
"Go away and find another seat!" Judi replied.
He said, "Okay, fine, you fly the plane."
In search of a new shower for our home, my wife and I went to a bathroom-supply store.
We discussed our needs with a young saleswoman. Since it was near closing time, we had to curtail our discussion and made plans to come back the next day to make our final decision.
Later that evening, my wife and I were at a restaurant, where the same young lady from the bathroom-supply store was now working a shift as a waitress.
As she passed our table, she suddenly recognized us and called to me in a loud voice, "HEY! You're the man who needs a shower!"
"She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said, 'There are too many gadgets and no place to sit down!' So I bought her an electric chair."

Sunday greetings, everyone!
There was no Cybersalt Digest last Chicken Thursday due to Grandma Cybersalt and I getting to spend some bonus time with our visitors. In this case, bonus time equals the extra time you get to spend with friends when they leave first thing in the morning, spend the whole day at the airport, and then get to spend another night with you when their flight is cancelled and they are rebooked to fly out the next morning. We enjoyed our extra meal together and another evening of board games!
Today's video share will be especially helpful to any of you who have a floating bog blocking a bridge!

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.

I clearly recall the day that one of my professors and I sat for several hours discussing the validity of Christianity's claims and the credibility of the belief in the existence of God.
My friend was unafraid to declare his denial of God's existence and to affirm his belief that death for an individual ends everything.
I had been comfortably open in class that I believe in God and accept the values and principles of Christianity. Our discussion was not meant to dislodge on another from a respected stance. We simply wished to state the bases of our persuasion for and against believing.
My friend finally delivered what he thought was his most effective thrust. He did not apologize for reaching into his quiver and pulling from its pouch the arrow that critics have used for centuries in their attempts to silence the testimony of believers. How dull and bent those arrows have become and yet they keep on flying!
Calm and smug-faced, the professor presented his convincing summary, relishing in anticipation what he thought would be conclusive victory. He pushed the repeat button and we heard the familiar words once more, "Christianity is a crutch on which people lean."
I felt sorry for my friend.
In all of human history, who hasn't needed a crutch at some juncture in life? In Psalm 23, King David described a danger zone in his path of life. He called it The Valley of the Shadow of Death where danger lurked at every turn.
Then he saw his Divine Shepherd with a rod and a staff in His hands and he was comfortable. What a comforting crutch when it is in God's hand!
I am not deterred from believing just because of my inability to reason out and intelligently expound on issues that perplex the human mind. I do not negotiate persuasively with my God. I acknowledge my inadequacy to grapple with some events in my life and I cast myself upon the wisdom and power of God whom I understand only from my finite reasoning. Sometimes evidential occurrences bring me to the satisfactory conclusion that it is easier and safer to believe than not to believe. So, according to the light that I have in which to walk, let me be a good man; a Christian companion to those who need a friend. And let me lean on God when I am afraid of what assails me.
(Several years after my graduation, the professor invited me to spend a few hours with one of his classes. I cheerfully obliged.)

Cybersalt's funny pictures collection has been years in the making and continues to grow. We are also in the process of moving images over from our old site so check back often. Don't forget to check out our funny cat pictures, funny dog pictures, funny elephant pictures, and take your turn to be funny.
Here's where we keep our funny car pictures.
Over the years, some of the most popular pages on the Cybersalt site have featured Funny Cat Pictures. We have to admit that even though cats often look at humans like they owe the feline world something (remember dogs have owners and cats have staff), cats aren't as bad as a lot of the press that they get.
And so, whether you are a cat lover or tolerator, we hope you enjoy these funny cat pictures. And, of course, if you have any funny cat pictures you want to share with the world, feel free to send them to us to post here.
Some say the world can be divided into two types - cat people and dog people. For the cat people of the planet, Cybersalt has the Funny Cat Archive. For the dog people we have this Funny Dog Pictures archive.
It's dedicated to the memory of Maggie - Pastor Tim and family's dog. The SPCA rescued Maggie from Manitoba's Red River flood in 1996 and brought her to British Columbia where she had two short term owners before becoming a part of the Davis household where she preferred adults over kids, picked and ate fruit from trees in the backyard, and very rarely went into water at the beach.
Here's our funny horse pictures collection.
We think Cybersalt's Funny Christmas Pictures Collection is the best on the net.
We hope you'll enjoy each one and share them with your online family and friends.
Merry Christmas!
