I've just been reading Rod's article Don't Look down and he's absolutely right - keep your eyes fixed firmly on Jesus and He won't let you fall. I too have a fear of heights but, unlike Rod, I know exactly when it started. Ironically, it was more or less the same time as I turned my eyes from Jesus (although I don't believe the two things to be related). It was on a school trip to Switzerland in the early 1980's. We'd taken the 'cogwheel' railroad to the top of Rigi Kulm (some 4900 feet above sea level) and had disembarked with the enthusiam of school children free of parental control - namely, where can we get alcohol and where can we hide to snatch a quick 'smoke' out of sight of the teachers. However, a few of us wanted to take a few photographs and do other 'touristy' things.

"One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, Arent you the Christ? Save yourself and us! But the other rebuked him, saying, Dont you fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we rightly so, for we are getting what we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing wrong. Then he said, Jesus, remember me when you come in your kingdom. And Jesus said to him, I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise".

Funny old conversation isn't it? Only Luke bothers to mention it. What did the second criminal see in the broken, pain-wracked figure of Jesus that the other missed?

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- A couple on a low-carb diet was kicked out of a buffet restaurant after the manager said they'd eaten too much roast beef. Sui Amaama, who along with his wife have been on the Atkins Diet for two weeks, was asked to leave after he went up to the buffet at the Chuck-A-Rama in suburban Taylorsville for his 12th slice of roast beef. That's right, his 12th slice. Amaama is one of the hundreds of millions in this world who keep doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.

Les describiré a Allison (nombre ficticio). Está en sus veintes, de buenos modales y una cristiana comprometida. Además, está en la universidad, estudiando para ser una maestra. Por ende, no puede visitar nuestra iglesia a menudo; solamente durante los feriados y vacaciones cuando viene a visitar a sus padres.

No conozco muy bien a Allison. La he visto una docena de veces en un par de años, pero parece que nos llevamos bien.

A new business was opening and one of the owner's friends wanted to send flowers for the occasion.

They arrived at the new business site and the owner read the card; it said "Rest in Peace".

The owner was angry and called the florist to complain. After he had told the florist of the obvious mistake and how angry he was, the florist said.
