Stress – The Burdens of Life
Stress and Dealing With The Burdens Of Life
A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, Raised a glass of water and asked ‘How heavy is this glass of water?’
Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.
The lecturer replied, ‘The absolute weight doesn’t matter.
It depends on how long you try to hold it.
If I hold it f or a minute, that’s not a problem.
If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm.
If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance.
In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.’
He continued…
‘And that’s the way it is with stress management.
If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,
As the burden becomes increasingly heavy,
We won’t be able to carry on. ‘
‘As with the glass of water,
You have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.
When we’re refreshed, we can carry on with the burden.’
‘So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.
Don’t carry it home.
You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you’re carrying now,
Let them down for a moment if you can.’
So, my friend, Put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.
Don’t pick it up again until after you’ve rested a while.

Are You In or Are You Out?
Are you in or are you out is the question we all need to be asking our members of congress. Glenn Beck has initiated five pledges we should all be asking our members of congress to adhere to.
Dear Mr. Politician, yes or no:
1. I believe in a balanced budget and therefore will vote for a freeze in government spending until that goal is realized.
2. I believe government should not increase the financial burden on its citizenry during difficult economic times therefore I will oppose all tax increases until our economy has rebounded.
3. I believe more than four decades of U.S. dependence on foreign oil is a travesty therefore I will support an energy plan that calls for immediately increasing usage of all domestic resources including nuclear energy, natural gas, and coal as necessary.
4. I believe in the sovereignty and security of our country and therefore will support measures to close our borders except for designated immigration points so we will know who is entering and why and I will vehemently oppose any measure giving another country, the United Nations, or any other entity, power over U.S. citizens.
5. I believe the United States of America is the greatest country on earth and therefore will not apologize for policies or actions which have served to free more and feed more people around the world than any other nation on the planet.
If your politician doesn’t believe, support or reflect these beliefs in their actions (not the little words they say), then they aren’t supporting you. More importantly, they aren’t supporting, protecting or defending the Constitution and it’s time to vote the bums out.
Make it very clear: You are either in or you are out.

Church Bulletins
Actual Church Bulletins
Thank goodness for church ladies with typewriters. These sentences actually appeared in church bulletins or were announced in church services:
- The Fasting & Prayer Conference includes meals.
- Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Bring your husbands.
- For those of you who have children and don’t know it, we have a nursery downstairs.

Common Sense
Marine Common Sense
Last Tuesday, as President Obama got off the Helicopter in front of the White House, he was carrying a baby piglet under each arm.
The squared away Marine guard snaps to attention, Salutes, and says: “Nice pigs, Sir.”
The President replies: “These are not pigs. These are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs.
I got one for Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and I got one for Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi…”
The squared away Marine again snaps to attention, Salutes, and says:
“Excellent trade, sir.”
Women’s Ass Story
A cute woman’s ass story I thought was worth sharing…
Woman’s Ass Story
There is a new study about women and how they feel about their asses. The results were pretty interesting:

10% of women think their ass is too skinny…
The remaining 60% say they don’t care, they love him, he’s a good man, and they wouldn’t trade him for the world!

How Embarrassing
How Embarrassing
I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my farts with the beat.
After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me.
Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod.

Hollywood Squares
Hollywood Squares was a game show I found really funny. These great questions and answers are from the days when Hollywood Squares’ game show responses were spontaneous, not scripted, as they are now.
I hope you find them as funny as I did. BTW, if you are very young, you will not recognize some of the Hollywood Square panel’s names but you should appreciate the humor anyway.
