At the end of the message, the rich man stood up and announced, "Pastor, I will contribute $1,000." Just then, plaster fell from the ceiling and struck the rich man on the shoulder. He promptly stood again and shouted, "Pastor, I will increase my donation to $5,000." Before he could sit back down, plaster fell on him again and he screamed, "Pastor, I will double my last pledge." He sat down and an even larger chunk of plaster fell, this time hitting him on the head. He stood once more and hollered, "Pastor, I will give $20,000!" This prompted a deacon to shout, "Hit him again, Lord! Hit him again!" _____________________________________________________   ___________________________________________________ Things My Mother Taught Me My Mother taught me LOGIC...

Police allege that Caleb Burczyk, 29, sent a series of threatening texts and Facebook messages to Robert Allen Thomas, a 39-year-old resident of Williston, a city about 80 miles south of the Canadian border. Burczyk, seen above, formerly worked with Thomas (and Thomass brother-in-law) for a company that maintains oil and gas wells. But after Thomas and his relative left to work for another firm, Burczyk was laid off and has remained unemployed. As detailed in a probable cause affidavit, Burczyk last week began sending aggressive Facebook messages to Thomas, one of which warned, Accept my friend request or Im going to murder you. In a December 26 message to Thomas, Burczyk wrote that he would come at Thomas if he failed to accept his friend request. Burczyk, investigators charge, subsequently traveled to Thomass home--where several other family members live--and kicked in the front door before entering the residence. The affidavit does not indicate what Burczyk did once inside the property. Burczyk was subsequently collared after Thomass father called 911 to report a burglary in progress. The break-in, cops say, was recorded by a home security system. Charged with burglary and terrorizing, Burczyk was booked into the Williams County jail on the felony charges. He was released yesterday after posting $50,000 bond. Burczyk today pleaded not guilty to the two charges. He is scheduled for an April 20 pretrial conference in District Court.  
 DearWebby's Tech Support Pits  From: Eloise Re: Sorting in WORD  Dear Webby, Once upon a time, long, long ago, you told us how to quickly sort a list in WORD. Unfortunately, at the time I did not need that and did not pay attention. Can you please tell me again? Thanks Eloise  Dear Eloise Highlight what you want to sort, hit ALT F9 (or click on TOOLS, SORT, then choose if you want to sort the lines or paragraphs. If you are sorting email addresses that are one address per line, select LINE. If you are sorting physical addresses that are 4 or 5 lines per contact, make sure you have a paragraph break (empty line) between each address block. If your sort task spans many pages, it's usually best to temporarily copy the data to be sorted to a new file, sort it there, and then copy it back into the original document. Have FUN! DearWebby

 Thanks to Connie for this joke: Friendship between Women: A woman didn't come home one night. The next day she told her husband that she had slept over at a girlfriend's house. The man called his wife's 10 best friends. None of them knew anything about it, but two of them invited him to come on over and check for himself. Friendship between Men: A man didn't come home one night. The next day he told his wife that he had slept over at a buddy's house. The woman called her husband's 10 best friends. Eight of them confirmed that he had slept over, and two claimed that he was still there. ____________________________________________ Thanks to J.Falk for this story: "Dear Lord", the pastor began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. "Without you we are but dust. . " He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mommy, what is 'butt dust' ?" ____________________________________________ Mary was married to Charlie, a male chauvinist. They both worked full time, but he never did anything around the house and certainly not any housework. "That," he declared, "is woman's work!" One evening, Mary arrived home from work to find the children bathed, a load of wash in the washing machine and another in the dryer, dinner on the stove and a beautifully set table, complete with flowers. She was astonished, and she immediately wanted to know what was going on. It turned out that Charlie had read a magazine article that suggested working wives would be more romantically inclined if they weren't so tired from having to do all the housework, in addition to holding down a full-time job. The next day, she couldn't wait to tell her girlfriends at the office. "How did it work out?" they asked. Mary said, "Charlie even cleaned up, helped the kids with their homework, folded the laundry and put everything away. I really enjoyed my evening." "But what about afterward?" her friends wanted to know. "It didn't work out," Mary said. "Charlie was too tired." ____________________________________________
