Can You Sleep When The Wind Blows ?

Can You Sleep When The Wind Blows ?
Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.
He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were
reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic . They dreaded the
awful storms that raged across the Atlantic ,
wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops.
As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received
a steady stream of refusals.

Finally, a short thin man, well past middle age, approached
the farmer.
"Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him.
"Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man.
Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help,
hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from
dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore.
Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed
next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the
little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming!
Tie things down before they blow away!"
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No
sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."

Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on
the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm.
To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had
been covered with tarpaulins. The cows were in the barn, the chickens
were in the coops, and the doors were barred.
The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down.

Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his
hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep
while the wind blew.

The Moral Of The Story

When you're prepared,
spiritually, mentally, and physically,
you have nothing to fear.

Can you sleep when the
wind blows through your life?
The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he
had secured the farm against the storm.
We secure ourselves against the storms of life by
grounding ourselves in the Word of God.
We don't need to understand, we just need to hold
His hand to have peace in the middle of storms.

Amazing Fido "online telepathy" puzzle

Someone sent me a link to an "online telepathy" puzzle, I find it very interesting. Give it a try yourself to see if you agree and then try to figure out how it was done.

First, click on the link below. It should open up a new window to the puzzle website. Click on the boy in the lower right corner of the picture to start the puzzle. Simply follow the instruction on screen.

When you have reach the final window, type in your answer in the white box using the keyboard and then watch what happen to the paper in the boy's hand. You will be amazed.



To try it, click on the link here Fido Puzzle

To find out the answer, read on ....



The Answer ...

After you have decided on the 3 or 4 digits, jumble them up, the answer you get, be it 3 digits or 4 digits answer, will always adds up to 18.

Example, if after the subtraction, you get 3672 ... 3+6+7+2 = 18.

Let take a couple of random examples:

Example 1.
You chose 5476 .... jumble it up to become 6457
Bigger number subtract smaller number .... 6457 - 5476
That will give you 981
9+8+1 = 18

Example 2.
You chose 9876 .... jumble it up to become 8967
Bigger number subtract smaller number .... 9876 - 8967
That will give you 909
9+0+9 = 18

Now, with the remaining 3 digits that you type into the box after you have circled one of them, all we have to do is use 18 to subtract them one by one.

In the case of the first example 3672, if you had choosen 7, then 18-3-6-2 will give you the answer 7, which is the one you had circled.

Important: The initial instruction to chose the 3 or 4 digits have to be a set of random numbers all different from each other.

Wow !! Amazing Mathematical Equation Of Love


From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:
What Equals 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been in situations where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 101%? What equals 100% in life?


Here's a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:


If:A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.


Then:
H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But,
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%


AND, look how far the love of God will take you ?
L - O- V- E-O-F-G-O-D
12+15+22+5+15+6+7+15+4 = 101%


Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:


While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Love of God that will put you over the top !

It Is Not What You Say, But How You Say It ...


A king once dreamed that all his teeth had fallen out. He was naturally concerned about his dream, so the next morning he sent for a soothsayer to interpret his dream for him.

The soothsayer listened to the king's dream, pondered over it for a moment, and then delivered this pronouncement: "Your Highness, the dream means that all your relatives will die and you will be left alone."

The king was furious at the soothsayer's interpretation, and he demanded the soothsayer be exiled.

Then the king called for a second soothsayer. This soothsayer listened to the king's dream, pondered for a moment, and then proclaimed: "Rejoice, O King! The dream means that you will live many more years. In fact, you will outlive all your relatives! LONG LIVE THE KING!"

This interpretation so pleased the king that he gave the interpreter a large purse of gold.

Essentially, the two soothsayers made the same prediction. But there was a big difference in HOW they delivered the message. As a result, there was a big difference in how the message was received.

The moral of the story is very clear: It's not WHAT you say, but HOW you say it that counts!

There will be hurts, live anyway ...

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.

You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time.

You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.

You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love.

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.

Don't be afraid that your life will end; be afraid that it will never begin.
