Times have always been tough.  No matter how the economy is, people talk about these are tough times.  The only times that aren't tough are the ones we look back on.


That's sad, but true.  Is there ever a time when people aren't calling the present "tough times?"

<wolf> 1. Save every Free Credit Card Offer you get, Put it in pile A
<wolf> 2. Save every Free Coupon You get, put that in pile B
<wolf> 3. Now open the credit card mail from pile A and find the Business
       Reply Mail Envelope.
<wolf> 4. Take the coupons from pile B and stuff them in the envelope you hold
       in your hand.
<wolf> 5. Drop the stuffed to the brim envelopes in your mail and walk away
       whistling.
<wolf> I have now received two phone calls from the credit card companies
       telling me that they received a stuffed envelope with coupons rather
       then my application. They informed me that they are not pleased that
       they footed the bill for the junk I sent them. I reply with "It says
       Business Reply Mail. I'm suggesting coupons to you to ensure that your
       business is more successful." They promptly hang up on me.
<wolf> Now, I did this for about a month before it got boring, so I got an
       added idea! I added exactly 33 cents worth of pennies to the envelope
       so they paid EXTRA due to the weight. I got a call informing me about
       the money. I said it was a mistake and I demanded my change back.
<wolf> I hold in my hand at this very moment a check from GTE Visa for
       exactly 33 cents.

"What a lovely thing a rose is!...  There is nothing in which deduction is so necessary as in religion.  It can be built up as an exact science by the reasoner.  Our highest assurance of the goodness of Providence seems to me to rest in the flowers.  All other things, our powers, our desires, our food, are all really necessary for our existence in the first instance.  But this rose is an extra.  Its smell and its colour are an embellishment of life, not a condition of it.  It is only goodness which gives extras... we have much to hope from the flowers."
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Amen!  I get upset when preachers are afraid they will offend someone so they apologise for the sermon God gave them.  It weakens the conviction the sermon is supposed to bring.
