Re: 8th Update.
WET PANTS
Come with me to a third grade classroom..... There is a nine-year-old kid sitting at his desk and all of a sudden, there is a puddle between his feet and the front of his pants are wet. He thinks his heart is going to stop because he cannot possibly imagine how this has happened. It's never happened before, and he knows that when the boys find out he will never hear the end of it.. When the girls find out, they'll never speak to him again as long as he lives.
The boy believes his heart is going to stop; he puts his head down and prays this prayer, "Dear God, this is an emergency! I need help now! Five minutes from now I'm dead meat."
He looks up from his prayer and here comes the teacher with a look in her eyes that says he has been discovered
As the teacher is walking toward him, a classmate named Susie is carrying a goldfish bowl that is filled with water. Susie trips in front of the teacher and inexplicably dumps the bowl of water in the boy's lap.
The boy pretends to be angry, but all the while is saying to himself, "Thank you, Lord! Thank you, Lord!"
Now all of a sudden, instead of being the object of ridicule, the boy is the object of sympathy. The teacher rushes him downstairs and gives him gym shorts to put on while his pants dry out. All the other children are on their hands and knees cleaning up around his desk. The sympathy is wonderful. But as life would have it, the ridicule that should have been his has been transferred to someone else - Susie.
She tries to help, but they tell her to get out. You've done enough, you klutz!"
Finally, at the end of the day, as they are waiting for the bus, the boy walks over to Susie and whispers, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?" Susie whispers back, "I wet my pants once too."
May God help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good..
Remember.....Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.
Each and everyone one of us is going through tough times right now, but God is getting ready to bless you in a way that only He can. Keep the faith.
This prayer is powerful, and prayer is one of the best gifts we receive. There is no cost but a lot of rewards let's continue to pray for one another.
The Prayer:
Father, I ask You to bless my friends, relatives and those that I care deeply for, who are reading this right now. Show them a new revelation of Your love and power. Holy Spirit, I ask You to minister to their spirit at this very moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there is self-doubt, release a renewed confidence through Your grace. Where there is need, I ask you to fulfill their needs. Bless their homes, families, finances, their goings and their comings. Amen.
We had our first win in this game. The Power Ball was 18 on Wednesday and we had 18, but that is all we had, so we only got $3.00.
But, that is a whole lot better than telling you that we had no wins for Wednesday.
I don’t know what I will do with the wins from this game, until it’s over, or someone I know goes back to
I will start a box showing out winnings:
| Amount Won | Date Won | Running Total |
| $3.00 | | $3.00 |

Powerball Jackpot Winner! There was one $29 million jackpot winner from
Also, 4 lucky players matched the first 5 numbers for a $200,000 prize: 1 from
So for tonight, we are starting over on the Jack Pot. $15 Million. The Cash Option is $7,100,000.00.
Shares in this game were priced at $20.00, and we had 9 shares issued. We have tickets that are good until
Here is what the pay out would be, it we win this evening:
| Shares purchased | Amount you could win. |
| .5 | $384,444.44 |
| 1 | $788,888.88 |
I kind of hope we don’t win this tonight, I would love to see the Cash Option at $18 Million (which isn’t hard for Power Ball). This means even my members who purchased one half share would get $1 Million.
But, I will take (and be happy) with anything God gives us.

The Password
A woman was helping her husband set up his new computer, and at the appropriate time in the process, told him he would now need to enter a password. Something he would use to log-on.
Her husband was in a rather amorous mood and figured he would try for the shock effect to bring this to his wife's attention. So, when the computer asked him to enter his password, he made it plainly obvious to his wife that he was keying in:
P...
E...
N...
I...
S...
His wife fell out of her chair laughing when the computer replied...
***PASSWORD INVALID...........NOT LONG ENOUGH***
