A company in Taiwan makes dinnerware out of wheat, so you can eat your plate! ---------------------------------------------------------------- TITLE ARTICLE - - - ----------------- BEHOLD THE FOWLS! by Ken Darby You should see the ground out in front of my office window. About six feet in front of my window I put a very large bird feeder, which, in winter, becomes quite busy. Today there must be between fifty and sixty birds out there all at once. They include Chic-a-dees, siskins, grossbeaks, sparrows, occasionally Jumper, my buddy the squirrel and once in a while a Blue Jay. Fascinating to watch really. I sit and look and my mind begins to observe deeper things. I am reminded of that biblical admonition "Behold the fowls of the air, they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns". Here all these birds are fed beyond what they require. We are not the only house that provides for them either. Yet, they don't even need us for in nature there is more for them to eat than they will ever consume. Wouldn't it be nice to be a bird? We could fly around each day without a worry in the world, not attached to anything, never feeling sorry for ourselves, knowing full well that all we need is right in front of us - Wow! How come birds are so lucky? Why can't we have things that way? You know what - if you expressed as much faith as a bird your every wish would be granted. Think about this. This is LAW not a wish, not a whim, not a dream. You and I have been repeatedly told that if we had faith and doubt not we could do anything. Take a look at the motto near the top of this newsletter, just above the list of contents. What does it say? Does it tell you something? (I'll see when I believe it!) I think it is decision time. Either you believe worldly affairs, events, teachings and comings and goings or you believe the Laws of The Universe. You cannot do both. There is no grey - only black or white. You are either for it or against it and choices have to be made. In the absence of choice you will get the worldy events over which you have no control. Making the choice for law gives you both control and power albeit you will have to learn the way. BEHOLD THE FOWLS OF THE AIR! So watch a bird for a while and remember the laws. Watch as the bird exhibits complete faith, without faltering or reservation. You, too, can do that. You can have such faith, such power, such peace. You long ago lost sight of your birthright and now you can gain it back. Take hold of the faith you had as a child and become once more able to use the power of the law. BEHOLD THE FOWLS OF THE AIR! ---------------------------------------------------------------- COMPUTER TIPS - - - ------------------------- CLEAR THE INTERNET EXPLORER HISTORY!

I had no idea it was this bad! We had a beautiful wedding with all the trimmings! Nothing was too good for this bride as far as her mother was concerned and everyone had a great time! After the ceremony, Sue and I were booked into a very fancy hotel, whisked away by limousine. Not a half hour after check-in she called her folks to thank them for the wedding. She and her father spoke for five minutes. She and her mother talked for almost two hours. I don't deny I was livid but was determined the honeymoon would not start off with an argument. I should have been even more tipped off about how bad this was when she started looking for excuses to call home a few hours later. The next day we flew off to our island honeymoon - a luxurious resort. We were not checked into our suite twenty minutes before Sue felt compelled to call home again. When she saw the look on my face, she said "Don't worry, I'll just call collect". She didn't get it at all! Sue and her mother proceeded to spend yet another couple of hours gabbing about not only the wedding (again) but, of course, our resort. I'm sorry to say I blew up. And yes, we had our first major argument as man and wife. Somehow, we managed to enjoy the rest of our honeymoon but I could tell she was distracted often - and I knew why. She wanted to call her mother. Help me out here. I think I purposely ignored the signs before we were married. It's been three months and the phone sessions continue every night. How do I handle this? Sue keeps telling me her behavior is very natural and if I were closer to my own parents, I'd understand. My parents and I have a very good relationship. They are respectful and unintrusive. Something tells me if I don't do something about this now we're gonna be in trouble. By the way, we've had dinner at my in-laws every single Sunday since we've been married. We've had dinner with my folks twice - and that was because Sue's mother invited them. I love my wife but I've already had it up to here with her family. Signed "What's Up With This?" VENUS RESPONSE: What's up? You married a emotionally immature girl who is having major breaking-away problems. Trust me on this one, sir, you've got to put your foot down (what mother allows her daughter to call collect from her honeymoon and then proceeds to "chat" for two hours? Where did she think YOU were?). No more every Sunday dinners for a while. Normally, I wouldn't be this emphatic but Sue's mother is being grossly unfair, not only to you two as a couple but to your parents. If Sue is not aware of the extent of your feelings it's time to speak up loud and clear. If she has arguments against it, it's time for counselling. This is not "very natural" behavior for a newly-wed. Sue is clearly using your relationship with your parents as a means of getting her own way. You've only been married 3 months and already the in-law's are controlling your life. These things do not clear themselves up. Sue needs to recognize she's your wife now. Her mother needs to come to terms that her "baby" is now a married woman with other priorities. Don't dance around this issue if you'd like to be one of the lucky one's who get to celebrate a fifth anniversary. MARS RESPONSE: Do not have children. At least not until you get this matter straightened out. Be aware, also, the matter of not having kids is your responsibility. You are in for a fight and if she thinks she is on the verge of losing both her and her mother will think that having a family will "settle you down". The fact is you married a psychological child whose mother also is not a grown woman. Frankly I would get out - now - run. However, if you do not get out you are in for some rough times. Be ready because these women will lie about what they do and ultimately, even with counselling, I see no possibility of change that will create a happy, healthy family. Do not have children. ------------------------------------------------------- CATALOGUE OF FREE DOCUMENTS FROM OUR AUTORESPONDERS We have created a catalogue of free documents and made them available to you by autoresponders.

Tired and weak, he crawls up to the house and collapses on the doorstep. The missionary finds him and nurses him back to health. Feeling better, the man asks the missionary for directions to the nearest town. As he leaves, he sees a horse. He goes back into the house and asks the missionary, "Could I borrow your horse and give it back after I reach the town?" The missionary says, "Sure, but there is a special thing about this horse. You have to say 'Thank God' to make it go and 'Amen' to make it stop." Not paying much attention, the man says, "Sure, OK." So, he gets on the horse and says, "Thank God" and the horse starts walking. Then, he say, "Thank God, thank God, " and the horse starts trotting. Feeling really brave, the man say, "Thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God, thank God" and the horse just takes off. Pretty soon he sees this cliff coming up and he's doing everything he can to make the horse stop. "Whoa! Stop! Hold on! Halt!" Finally, he remembers, "Amen!" The horse stops four inches from the cliff. The man leans back in the saddle and sighs: "Thank God!" -------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT INFORMATION: THE PEBBLE is published daily.
