Children in Church
A little boy was in a relative's wedding.
As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.
While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.
So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.
As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.
When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said, "I was being the Ring Bear."
-------------
One Sunday in a Midwest City, a young child was "acting up" during the morning worship hour.
The parents did their best to maintain some sense of order in the pew but were losing the battle.
Finally, the father picked the little fellow up and walked sternly up the aisle on his way out.
Just before reaching the safety of the foyer, the little one called loudly to the congregation, "Pray for me! Pray for me!"
-------------
One particular four-year old prayed, "And forgive us our trash baskets as we forgive those who put trash in our baskets."
-------------
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it.
I'm having a real good time like I am."
-------------
A Sunday School teacher asked her little children, as they were on the way to church service, "And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?"
One bright little girl replied, "Because people are sleeping."
-------------
A little boy opened the big and old family Bible with fascination, looking at the old pages as he turned them.
Then something fell out of the Bible.
He picked it up and looked at it closely.
It was an old leaf from a tree that has been pressed in between the pages.
"Mama, look what I found," the boy called out..
"What have you got there, dear?" his mother asked.
With astonishment in the young boy's voice he answered, "It's Adam 's suit".

Pat, These remind me of a real church incident in our lives. It must have been about 1970 here in Westerville when our youngest, Jeff, was about nine. He and his friends were taking turns putting their thumbs in their mouths and blowing until their buddies would whisper: "You're purple" or something like that. In a particularly quiet time in the service, Jeff, now fifty, was blowing hard when a perfectly audible passing of gas occurred. Adults muffled laughs and even at nine years, Jeffrey, was highly embarrassed.

Five Porstmouth guys at Breakfast here in Columbus Yesterday 2011 11 17
Five Portsmouth guys met at Upper Arlingon's Chef-Nette for breakfast yesterday morning.
Nelson smiled a little in the second pic.
We will exclude the OHSAA Director if he pulls another fast one on us like paying the bills and the tips at the chef-Nette Yesterday. Before he left after a little over an hour, he told us that he wants to know when he might make it again. He told me that his secretary, Molly, makes his schedule and he tries hard to keep up. He truly enjoys his job and its myriad duties.
The popular director told us a few interesting stories as did each person at the breakfast. Dick Hansgen has visited most every continent except Australia and one other in his work. Dick has had Portsmouth reminders in various ports as a Navy guy in the fifties. Nelson and Frank Hunter and Jack Plymale and a few other Portsmouth guys were in the same Ohio state fraternity.
I am trying to awake my steel trap mind (although it has been at the bottom of the salty ocean for a while) of all the good stories. Portsmouth streets, neighborhoods, schools, people, etc. Dr. Ross related, when somebody mentioned Portsmouth Notre Dame, that it is now the smallest school in attendance in Ohio, with only twenty-five graduates, if my poor hearing has not failed me again. I believe he said that there are 717 football teams and 800 some basketball teams. Lucasville Valley plays here at Westerville Central tonight in the Regional finals and I may attend.
We took Frank Hunter's and Blaine Bierley's names in vain as they were not there to defend themselves. I just talked with Smoky Gibson's wife, Alice,who told me that he has good and bad days but was just not up to it and, in fact, has not been out of the house all week. I was unable to get Nita this afternoon to find out about our friend, Flip Spriggs.

"Burnt toast and coffee time" Bill Dawson- Portsmouth
Does this remind Portsmouth Ohio people of Bill Dawson's "Burnt toast and coffee time" on WNXT radio? Bill was iconic for P'Town before the icon name was invented. Bill had personality 'out the gazoo' and Coach Bill Rohr use him to add salt and pepper to the game rallies in the PHS auditorium. He became a friend to Jeanie and me at Christ's Community Church through Scott Rawlings. The Church League softball was a lot of fun, while not as competitive as the B&B loan teams and their ilk. Bill pitched for the Trinity Methodist Church team and told Scott in my presence once: "I could never get this guy out." Meaning me, (Blush). Please realize now that Scott is getting older and might not remember this occasion for me. Scott is a tad younger than me though.
Bill became a wonderful Christian and was on a Christian station here in the Columbus area for a while in his later career.
Please God, grant our friend Bill Dawson real rest and peace and a lot of love.

Mrs. Beeton's salt and pepper sandwich Thanks Luis!

Mrs Beeton's salt and pepper toast sandwich is UK's 'cheapest lunch'
Britain's 'cheapest' lunchtime meal has been unveiled by scientists - the toast sandwich. The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) is reviving the mid-Victorian dish, which, unsurprisingly, consists of two slices of bread around a slice of toast. The society is so confident in the repast, it will offer £200 to anyone who can create a cheaper alternative.
The meal, costing 7.5 pence, was created by Victorian food writer Mrs Beeton. It is taken from Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management which became a best-seller after its appearance 150 years ago next month. To celebrate that anniversary, the RSC decided to focus on meals that reflected "stern days" to come in Britain, rather than one of the book's many "table-groaning creations".
The meal was recreated by a chef at the RSC on Wednesday and offered to people outside their London offices. The RSC's Dr John Emsley said: "You simply put a piece of dry toast between two slices of bread and butter, with salt and pepper to taste. I've tried it and it's surprisingly nice to eat and quite filling. I would emphasise that toast sandwiches are also good at saving you calories as well as money, provided you only have one toast sandwich for lunch and nothing else."
The toast sandwich provides about 330 calories, and consumers could opt for the healthier alternative of margarine instead of butter - an ingredient not available to Mrs Beeton because she was writing before it was invented. RSC employee Jon Edwards said: "In my student days I thought a meal of '9p noodles' from Tesco was the epitome of thrift - but a toast sandwich is tastier, quicker, has more calories and comes in at just 7.5p."
