A Sunday school teacher of pre-schoolers was concerned that his students might be a
little confused about Jesus Christ. He wanted to make sure they understood that the
birth of Jesus occurred a long time ago, that he grew up, etc. So he asked his class,
"Where is Jesus today?" Steven raised his hand and said, "He's in heaven!"
Mary was called on and answered, "He's in my heart!" Little Johnny, waving his hand
furiously, blurted out, "I know! I know! He's in our bathroom!" The whole class got
very quiet, looked at the teacher, and waited for a response. The teacher was
completely at a loss for a few very long seconds. He finally gathered his wits and
asked Little Johnny how he knew this.
Little Johnny replied, "Well, every morning my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom
door, and yells: 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?'"

Modern Panchtantra
One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the Panchatantra story of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe),
He started praying to the River Goddess. The River Goddess wanted to test him and so appeared only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer told her that he had lost his computer in the river.
As usual, the Goddess wanted to test his honesty. She showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."
She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No, not at all!!"
Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and asked if it was his.
The engineer, left with no option, sighed and said "Yes."
The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was about to give Him all three items, but before she could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't you know that you're supposed to show me some better computers before bringing up my own ?"
The River Goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the latest computers from IBM !". So saying, she disappeared with the Pentium!!

Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology trends, it's better to keep your mouth shut
and let people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt .

Kanjibhai and the farm
The fields are grown over with weeds, the farmhouse is falling apart, and the fences are collapsing all around. During his first day of work, the mandir Pujari stops by to bless Kanjibhai's work, saying, "May You and Bhagwan work together to make this the farm of your dreams!"
A few months later, the Mandir Pujari stops by again to call on the Kanjibhai.
Lo and behold, it's like a completely different place -- the farm house is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there are plenty of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows.
"Amazing!" the Pujari says. "Look what Bhagwan and You have accomplished together!"
"Yes, maharaj," says Kanjibhai , "but remember what the farm was like when Bhagwan was working it alone!"

Prayer a Day
They laughed at the old captain when they saw him say a prayer before sailing out, because the day was fine and the sea was calm.
However they weren't long at sea when a storm suddenly blew up and the boat began to pitch violently. The terrified passengers came to the captain and asked him to join them in prayer.
But he replied, "I say my prayers when it's calm. When it's rough I attend to my ship."
Here is a lesson for us......
If we cannot and will not seek God in quiet moments of our lives, we are not likely to find him when trouble strikes. We are more likely to panic. But if we have learnt to seek him and trust him in quiet moments, then most certainly we will find him when the going gets rough.
A PRAYER A DAY KEEPS EVIL AWAY

Bullet With Your Name on It
In 1893, Henry Ziegland ended a relationship with his girlfriend. Tragically, his girlfriend took the news very badly, became distraught and took her own life. Her distressed brother blamed his sister's death upon Henry, he went round to Henry's house, saw him out in the garden and tried to shoot him. Luckily, the bullet only grazed Henry's face and embedded itself in a nearby tree.
In 1913, twenty years after this incident, Henry decided to use dynamite to uproot a tree in his garden. The explosion propelled the embedded bullet from the tree straight into Henry Ziegland's head - killing him immediately.

"Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct. But I have no idea what to do with your information, and I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help to me."
The man smiled and responded, "You must be an Obama Democrate."
"I am," replied the balloonest. "How did you know?"
"Well," said the man, "you don't know where you are or where you are going. You've risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. You're in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but somehow, now it's my fault."
