from the guy who sent it to me later wrote:


I may have recently sent you a list of excuses for student absentees in a Mississippi school district.

I have a niece, who teaches school in the Tupelo, MS, area; and I asked her if this was her school district.

The following was her reply:


May not have been those specifically but have had some similar.......did have one mother who was supposed to come for a conference and sent me word that she couldnt come during that time because her family had voted that it was her time to watch the mailbox....(and then we wonder why the kids act the way they do)

FLAT TARR

Thanks to LBS: FLAT TARR

There was this fellow from Georgia who had a flat tire, pulled off on the side of the road, jumped out of his car, walked down the hillside and picked a bunch of wildflowers, and proceeded to put one bouquet of the flowers in front of the car and one behind it.
Then he got back in the car to wait.

A passerby studied the scene as he drove by and was so curious he turned around and went back. He asked the fellow what the problem was. The man replied, "I have a flat tarr."

In response the passerby asked, "But what's with the flowers?"

The man responded, "When you break down they tell you to put flares in the front and flares in the back!

Did God create Evil?

Thanks to LM: Did God create Evil?

This will make you think for a while.

At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being tough on Christians. At the first class every semester, he asked if anyone was a Christian and proceeded to degrade them and to mock their statement of faith.

One semester, he asked the question and a young man raised his hand. The professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?"

He replied, "Yes sir, He did!"

The professor responded, "If God made everything, then He made evil." The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.

Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something, sir?"

"Yes, you may," responded the professor.

The young man stood up and said, "Sir, is there such a thing as cold?"
"Of course there is, what kind of question is that?
Haven't you ever been cold?"

The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. What we consider to be cold, is really an absence of heat. Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist. We have only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there."

The young man continued, "Sir, is there such a thing as dark?"

Once again, the professor responded "Of course there is."

And once again, the student replied, "Actually, sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term man developed to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing as evil?"

The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil."

The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues like heat or light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light."

The professor had nothing to say...
