Self Pleasing

-


                                  Once upon a time in the Other Land lived a girl who did not believe in God,

nor did she believe in the faith of the Church she went to.  She was just an active participant from the 

fellowship she got from the congregation.  I might add that this kind of member pleased Satan.   

                                 The girl's name was Alice, and she went to services only for the pure enjoyment she

 she could receive from it.  For Alice was out to please Alice and no one else.  This did not please God,

but as I said earlier, did please Satan!    Satan had other workers in the Church who were there to please

themselves as well.  God: however, was always hard at work sending His messengers to solve this 

problem. 

                                 One day a new family moved into the Other Land who was most faithful and 

true to God.  Their last name was Godhead, and they had a son about Alice's age named Harry.  Harry

was good looking and was therefore pleasing for Alice to look upon.  Alice (only wanting to please 

herself) flirted around with Harry for a while.

                                  Harry started to date Amy but would never kiss her (for he felt that was best saved 

until they got married). He studied the Bible every day with Amy that they did not have services.  

Would you believe Alice's belief in God grew, until she became a true Christian?  What is more her 

Faith in the Church grew.  Alice and Harry were eventually married.

                                  The moral of the story is that sometimes God uses the love of another person to 

bring us to Him.  He may also use this love to strengthen our Faith in Him.

Paul D. Eccles

               One morning Thunder wakes up, and tells Maxine that they are going to take a vacation back  to  his homelands in the Woods in Indiana.  Maxine just says, "that is fine dear, but, you should have  checked to see if I had a tea, or any diplomatic duties first."                Thunder just hoed and hummed as he got dressed.  He then told Maxine, "anything like that  could be rearranged.  Furthermore you will have tea at the Woods."                  As they were walking to breakfast Maxine rolled her eyes.  She then addressed Thunder in a loving fashion and said, "Well dear, I am glad you have it all thought out, but where ever will we stay? You do have the twins to recall, or were they just staying here at the White House.                Thunder and his family by this time ...

                                              Charles went to a funeral in present time.  He saw there a whole cast of  characters he had not seen in a long time.  He wondered if the church psychologist would be there, and she was not.  Instead, his friend, daffy, old, retired, psychologist, Doctor Donald Dawk was  there.  Doctor Dawk talked briefly to Charles.                                   The funeral, of course, was for the relatives of the Westend's.  Old Mr. West- end had passed away peacefully in his sleep at 101 years of age.  He left behind many survivors, which included a wife named Betty.   Mister Westend had served in Germany in World War II.  The family of course was given military honors.   ...
