As you know, I attend a Univ. that holds many different beliefs...and sometimes it is just hard to handle and then I think, "Ok Lord...you put me here for a reason." Open minds and open doors (or is it closed doors? lol)<br /><br />BTW, I start back August 26. I saw your question. My internship ends August 2. I am thinking that it really wasn't much of a internship--she hasn't exactly followed through on her part...well, that is another story. smilesLindahttps://lindamconley.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-19021179303310751792019-07-18T07:28:23.796-05:002019-07-18T07:28:23.796-05:00One of the smartest things I did years ago was to ...One of the smartest things I did years ago was to accept my associate pastor's invitation to join the college Bible study she led at the time. She assured me that the kids would love it. You know what? She was right, and I loved it, too. We were able to give each other different perspectives that enhanced our learning and relationships. What a blessing! I do need to do something like that again . . .<br />Blessings, Lulu!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5416556583423635558.post-49088030945550422872019-07-18T05:43:45.739-05:002019-07-18T05:43:45.739-05:00Victor, a great story with a moral.

I was on the bus once peacefully eating an onion and strawberries sandwich when this old lady sat next to me and asked, "Do you know what time it is?"<br /><br />I quickly thought and said, "Yes, it is time you bought a watch of your own!" and I moved to another seat.<br /><br />I reasoned this way, and I hope you agree with my reasoning, Lulu. I reasoned that if I told her the time she would start chatting, about the weather at first, then something else, about shopping, or whatever. Then as we got off the bus she'd suggest we have a cup of tea at the old peoples' centre where she goes to get her breakfast. (I had already eaten an onion and strawberries sandwich). Then she'd suggest I visit her home, help her with the shopping perhaps, or the gardening. Then she'd visit my home. Perhaps meet my family. And she'd introduce her family to mine. Then, Heaven forbid someone in my family might like someone in her family. Perhaps they would marry. And I would have this old lady permanently in my life. What a happy prospect.<br /><br />So I told her to buy her own watch and avoid all these problems in the future. More people should follow my example and ignore other people.<br /><br />You, on the other hand, are worth having as a friend.<br /><br />God bless.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.com
