An Irishman in a wheelchair entered a restaurant one afternoon and asked
the waitress for a cup of coffee. He looked across the restaurant and asked,
“Is that Jesus sitting over there?” The waitress nodded “yes,” so the
Irishman told her to give Jesus a cup of coffee on him.

The next patron to come in was an Englishman with a hunched back. He
shuffled over to a booth, painfully sat down, and asked the waitress for a cup of
hot tea. He also glanced across the restaurant and asked, “Is that Jesus over
there?” The waitress nodded, so the Englishman said to give Jesus a cup
of hot tea, “My treat.”

The third patron to come into the restaurant was a Redneck on crutches He
hobbled over to a booth, sat down and hollered, “Hey there, sweet thang!
How’s about gettin’ me a cold glass of RC Cola!” He, too, looked across
the restaurant and asked, “Is that God’s boy over there?” The waitress once
more nodded, so the Redneck said to give Jesus a cold glass of RC, and put
it on his bill.

As Jesus got up to leave, he passed by the Irishman, touched him and
said, “For your kindness, you are healed.” The Irishman felt the strength come back into his legs, got up, and
danced a jig out the door.

Jesus also passed by the Englishman, touched him and said, “For your
kindness, you are healed.” The Englishman felt his back straightening up,
and he raised his hands, praised the Lord and did a series of back flips out
the door.

Then Jesus walked towards the Redneck. The Redneck jumped up and yelled,
“Don’t touch me, I’m collecting disability!”

Bush motorcade cop dies in crash.

What men should eat everyday.

Is it just me or is anyone else ready for a beer?

What is it about this transitional time between Summer and Fall that makes one begin to clean their house, complete small projects left undone, and basically, begin to organize their lives in a little different manner?

A great weekend at the Slark home. The house is clean, the yard is cut and trimmed, and the laundry is folded and put away. I am ready to end the month of August with a flurry, business is typically very good during the last week of any month, and I trust this final week of August will be no exception. I hope all of you have a great week.

WOW it is a gorgeous morning in Springfield! Although, I am feeling a little bad today. You see a friend of mine invited me to attend church this morning. It seems this church is having a “Biker Sunday”. It starts with breakfast, then a church service, followed by a ride around the area. He was so excited about it, but I simply didn’t want to go. He called me earlier in the week and ask me to attend, and I told him no, yesterday he stopped by the dealership in order to coax me again, this time I told him if I was going, I would be at his house by 8:00 a.m. and if I was not there by that time I wouldn’t be coming. He will be very disappointed. I love the guy to death, I just do not desire to go to church at this point in my life! What does that say about me?

Springfield’s weather was hot and humid with scattered showers around the area. I spent the early part of the day at work then left in the mid afternoon. I went home and made a pot of vegetable soup, then Michelle and I, caught a matinee of the Bourne Ultimatum. After the movie we jumped on the bike and rode for a while. Then spent a lazy evening at home.

My entire ex-family came to watch Ethan’s football game last evening. For you that don’t know; I was married for 21 years, and six years ago we divorced. Last night my ex-wife, her husband, and his daughter, came. As well as the following…

My ex- mother and father in law.
My ex- brother in law and sister in law.
My ex sister in law and brother in law.
and all of there children.

They were there along with me and my wife, and Michelle’s mom and dad.
We all sat together and had a wonderful time. It was a sight to see! I am glad for everyone involved but especially Jonathan, and Ethan.

I am glad I can write because I have no voice! Last night’s game left me hoarse, as South pulls off the victory 21-15. The defense was solid all night except for two plays which turned into scores for Hamilton. Good Job guys!
