Subject: Just because.... Author: No one [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 15:06:35 09/26/01 Wed Everything is sooooo boring and nobody anywhere has anything interesting to say. I thought I would share some of my mail with you.. aren't you pleased? It's really just board filler.. but what the heck! This is what we as Goo fans have been reduced to, sharing our forwarded emails.... Johnny, Robby and Mike, you better do something controversial soon or we might all die from having nothing juicy to read. ----- Original Message ----- From: Linda Sent: Monday, September 24, 2001 11:11 PM Subject: Children To those of you who have children in your lives, whether they are your own, grandchildren, nieces and nephews, or students....here is something to make you chuckle. Whenever your children are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to His own children. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was, "Don't." "Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit." God said. "Forbidden fruit? We have forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve....we have forbidden fruit!" "No way!" "Way!" "Do NOT eat the fruit!" said God. "Why?" "Because I am your Father and I said so!" God replied, wondering why He hadn't stopped creation after making the elephants. A few minutes later, God saw His children having an apple break and was He ticked! "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God, as our first parent, asked? "Uh huh," Adam replied. "Then why did you?" said the Father. "I don't know," said Eve. "She started it!" Adam said. "Did not!" "Did too!" "DID NOT!" Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus, the pattern was set and it has never changed! But there is reassurance in this story. If you have persistently and lovingly tried to give children wisdom and they haven't taken it, don't be hard on yourself. If God had trouble raising children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Not particularly funny but hey, look at all the room it took up.
