The Goldfish Bowl

A nine-year-old kid is 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 "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."

God, please help us see the opportunities that are always around us to do good.

A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. "Are you crazy?" exclaimed the turtle. "You'll sting me while I'm swimming and I'll drown."
"My dear turtle," laughed the scorpion, "if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that?"
"You're right!" cried the turtle. "Hop on!" The scorpion climbed aboard and halfway across the river gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle resignedly said: "Do you mind if I ask you something? You said there'd be no logic in your stinging me. Then why did you do it?"
"It has nothing to do with logic," the drowning scorpion sadly replied.
"It's just my character."
Be careful who's logic you trust.

What Is All This Da Vinci Code Stuff?
"No doubt about it: The Da Vinci Code is full of adrenaline-pumping chases, intriguing mystery and a cool story line that keeps readers turning the pages. And the claims made by the fictional characters are so truthful-sounding that the lines between fiction and fact get blurred fast. Which is why people who don't really know the Word of God or church history can get duped. Nonetheless....."
The Da Vinci Code fuss is getting a little old, but the story is still out there. As the book says, "Seek the Truth." From Focus on the Family.
And, if this stuff really interests you, we have our own Da Vinci Code page, made for adults, but still interesting.

A Viking Raid "In this short story, with a theme from the time of the Vikings, we hear about the boy Knud, who is going to take part in a raid for the first time with the men from the village. He has been looking forward to that for a long time, but it turns out to be quite different from what he had imagined.
Knud meets a monk who does not react with fear as the Vikings were used to, but tells him that there are other treasures than honour and gold, which you will loose one day. But what the King of Heaven can give is everlasting.
Knud begins to believe in this new God and is allowed to experience the truth of the promise of God, when he returns home to his village again."

These stories come from the Bible, God's word, which is full of stories about great men and women of faith that God called upon from time to time to be witnesses for him.
