CAN I COME TOO?

                 
Someone has compiled the following list of the all-time worst Country & Western song titles (These are actual songs):

*  Her Teeth Were Stained, But Her Heart Was Pure

*  I Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well

*  I Still Miss You, Baby, But My Aim's Gettin' Better

*  I'm So Miserable Without You, It's Like Having You Here

*  If The Phone Don't Ring, Baby, You'll Know It's Me

*  How Can You Believe Me When I Say I Love You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life?

*  I Keep Forgettin' I Forgot About You

*  I Would Have Wrote You A Letter, But I Couldn't Spell Yuck

*  I Wouldn't Take Her To A Dawg Fight, Cause I'm Afraid She'd Win

*  If You Don't Leave Me Alone, I'll Go And Find Someone Else Who Will

*  My John Deere Was Breaking Your Field, While Your Dear John Was Breaking My Heart

*  Oh, I've Got Hair Oil On My Ears And My Glasses Are Slipping Down But Baby I Can See Through You

*  They May Put Me In Prison, But They Can't Stop My Face From Breakin' Out

*  You Can't Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd

*  If My Nose Were Full of Nickels, I'd Blow It All On You

*  You're The Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly

*  How Can I Miss You If You Won't Go Away?

*  If You Leave Me, Can I Come Too?

     Those are some strange titles!  But the last one reminds me of a conversation Jesus had with his disciples the night before his crucifixion. In John 14-17, Jesus talked with his disciples about what to expect after his death.  Not surprisingly, the disciples had a hard time understanding. Jesus kept talking about "going away," but they didn't want to be separated.  Jesus tried to comfort them with these words:

     "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." (John 14:3)

     It was hard for the apostles to let go of Jesus.  They couldn't imagine life without him.  But Jesus assured them that though his departure was necessary, he would be back to get his followers.  If he left them, they could one day come, too.  Their parting was a time a sorrow, but there were (and are) joyful times ahead (John 16:20)!  What a great thought for all of God's children!

     Jesus, can I come too?


Rest in God He will handle the Rest!

THE EVIL CALABASH !

I read this somewhere and found it worth sharing. "Ohun ti o wa ninu igba kii jeki a le gbe  igba lo nigba miran" - meaning what's inside the calabash doesn't allow it to be taken away sometimes! Now THE STORY! Iya Rhoda called me one day and said Ayodele omo mi, I replied yes maami. She said, be strong in character, let your integrity be your navigator, don't fall for cheap blackmail, but above all let love and humility rule your life, because even the devil can not resist LOVE. Ah! Maami kilode? I asked. Then she said, sit down let me tell you this story. "There was a woman who was a witch. This woman was average in wealth but lost her husband which is the major reason she joined the coven. She had only one child who happened to be a girl.

BENEFITS OF OILING BELLY BUTTON (NAVEL)

Image
DID YOU KNOW? Our belly button (NABHI )  is an amazing gift given to us by our creator. A 62 year old man had poor vision in his left eye. He could hardly see especially at night and was told by eye specialists that his eyes were in a good condition but the only problem was that the veins supplying blood to his eyes were dried up and he would never be able to see again. According to Science, the first part created after conception takes place is the belly button. After it’s created, it joins to the mother’s placenta through the umbilical chord.  Our belly button is surely an amazing thing! According to science, after a person has passed away, the belly button is still warm for 3 hours the reason being that when a woman conceives a child, her belly button supplies nourishment to the child through the child’s belly button. And a fully grown child is formed in 270 days = 9 months. This is the reason all our veins are connected to our belly button which makes it the foc...
