Having a Bad Day?

Plumber Needed:
Did you know that there was a faulty toilet on the space station? Yeah - that's right, one of the Russian built toilets isn't working properly. Man - that's gotta stink!

Adding Fuel to the Fire:
People have been complaining about high gas prices as we close in on $4.00 a gallon. Did you know that in France the price of gas is $8.67 and diesel is $8.54. In the UK gas is $8.70 while diesel has jumped to $11.50. OPEC blamed high oil prices this week on the weakness of the American dollar. Funny, I thought the Euro was pretty strong.

OOPS:
Vaclar Tichy resigned from his post, his deputy was fired, and another official from the Czech Republic's soccer federation was fined after a little mishap on Tuesday night. According to the report, the Latvian flag was placed in the game program and the Latvian national anthem was played before the game. The problem: Czech Republic was facing Lithuania not Latvian!
Maybe Czech Republic's soccer federation needs to adopt a new theme song. How about Michael W. Smith's "Place in this World"?

Can You Believe This:
On Sunday afternoon, Jamal Watts was shot for the 3rd time in the past 12 years. 5 years ago, Jarmell Austin shot Watts confining him to a wheelchair. This past weekend Watts was shot Austin's brother Ronnie. The good news - Watts condition has been updated from critical to fair. The bad news - what do you have to be doing to be shot 3 times in 12 years? (I don't share this story because it's funny - I just find it so unreal)

Is Nothing Sacred:
In Galesburg and 84 year old man was attacked with moon pies. That's right...they were being hurled at him by a 53 year old homeless man.

So, Still Think You're Having a Bad Day:
2 New Zealand pilots were flying in a microlight airplane when they ran out of fuel.
Grant Stubbs & Owen Wilson were making their flight on Sunday the 18th when the engine coughed and then died.
"My friend and I are both Christians so our immediate reaction...was to ask God for help", said Stubbs. He prayed that they would make it over the top of a ridge and find a landing site that wasn't too steep or in the sea.
Wilson said, "There was an instantaneous answer to prayer as we crossed the ridge and there was an airfield" (he didn't know existed).
When the two men landed in the grassy strip they stopped beside a 20 ft. billboard that read (I'm not joking) "Jesus is Lord."

O.K, O.K. - I've got a reason for all of this.
Jesus is Lord.
Sometimes we just need to be reminded of that fact.
Remember, your day may not have started out so great but at least your not looking for the nearest outhouse in space, buying gas in Europe, taking Geography again, recovering from a shooting, or being attacked by an American classic. No - I want you to think of your day to be like that of the two pilots. You got up, got in your plane, and hoped that everything will fly right. In the end - even though you may feel lucky to have made an emergency landing - Jesus is Lord.

Have A GREAT Day!
