The previous pastor had been a paragon of virtue. He lived up to all the people's expectations and was willing to live on a very low salary to boot. He loved to work around the church and kept both the church house and grounds in pristine condition.

But the new pastor wasn't that type. He hired someone to do a lot of these chores, including the mowing of the lawn. Naturally this cost more money. This change of pattern was of concern to some of the elders of the church. One day, one of them approached the new pastor and tried to bring this up tactfully. He said to the new pastor, "You know, our previous pastor mowed the lawn himself. Have you considered this approach?"

The new pastor came back, "Yes, I'm aware of this. I asked him, but he doesn't want to do it anymore."

Q: What's the difference between an alligator and a crocodile?

A: I could be wrong, since I'm not a zoologist, but I believe the main difference is that one you will see later and the other in a while.

"How was your golf game, dear?" asked Jack's wife.

"Well, I was hitting pretty well, but my eyesight's gotten so bad I couldn't see where the ball went."

"But you're seventy-five years old, Jack!" admonished his wife, "Why don't you take my brother Scott along?"

"But he's eighty-five and doesn't even play golf anymore," protested Jack.

"But he's got perfect eyesight. He could watch your ball," Tracy pointed out.

The next day Jack teed off with Scott looking on. Jack swung, and the ball disappeared down the middle of the fairway.

"Do you see it?" asked Jack.

"Yup," Scott answered.

"Well, where is it?" yelled Jack, peering off into the distance.

"I forgot."

Today one of my dreams was fulfilled. I got to hear my oldest daughter attorney Kara Garcia argue a case in a jury trial.

Kara graduated from Central High School in San Angelo, Texas. She went to Texas Tech in Lubbock and got a degree in marketing. From there she went to the University of Houston Law school. After she graduated law school she passed the bar exam on her first try. She spent several years as an attorney for Texas Child Protective Services. She taught High School in the Cy-Fair school district. When she left teaching, she went to work for Cordell & Cordell Law Firm in Houston, Texas.

It has always been a dream of mine to hear her argue a case. This week she is involved in a jury trial. She provided us with a link. I finally got to see her in action.

Kara, your mother, sister, and I are so very proud of you and all you have accomplished. Keep up the good work! We love you!

By the way if should ever need a family law attorney just call Cordell & Cordell in Houston and ask for Kara Garcia!

A man is in bed with his wife when there is knocking on the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock. It's half past three in the morning.

"I'm not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over.

Then, a louder knock follows.

"Aren't you going to answer that?" says his wife.

So he drags himself out of bed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is man standing at the door. It didn't take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.

"Hi there," slurs the stranger, "Can you give me a push?"

"No, get lost, it's half past three. I was in bed," says the man and slams the door.

He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says "Dave, that wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby-sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get us started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?"

"But the guy was drunk," says the husband.

"It doesn't matter," says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him."

So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens the door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?" and he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah, please!"

So, still being unable to see the stranger, he shouts: "Where are you?"

And the stranger replies: "I'm over here, on your swing."
