Barista: Welcome to Spiritual Starbucks, may I take your order?
Customer 1: Yes, I'd like a triple Buddha, Mocha Mohammed Latte, with an extra shot of religion.
Barista: Sure, would you like a Pious Pastry with that?
Customer 1: No, I just ate. Just the drink.
Barista: Great, that will be your eternal destiny.
Customer 1: Is that all?
Barista: Yeah, we're running a special. And you get your destiny extra hot... hot as Hell actually. Customer 1: Awesome. (Moves over to wait)
Barista: Welcome to Spiritual Starbucks. How may I help you?
Customer 2:Yes, um, this is my first time here... so I don't quite know what to order. Barista:Well, we're glad to have you sir. Would you like a cold drink, like a Frappacino, or something hot like a latte?
Customer 2: I guess something cold.
Barista: Great, a Frappacino. What kind of Frap would you like?
Customer 2:What kind do you have?
Barista: Well, we have your Mohammed, Mocha, Wildberry Wiccan--
Barista 2: Caramel Cult Frappacino, Quasi Jesus Frap--
Customer 2:Why only a Quasi Jesus?
Barista: Nobody wants him full strength anymore, sir.
Customer 2: Umm, well, how about a Morman Frappacino? I've heard those are good.
Barista: Yeah, sure we have that--but it only comes in decaf.
Customer 2:Umm.... Ok, I'll have a Wildberry Wiccan, with a shot of Caramel Cult.
Barista: Is that all?
Customer 2: Yes. Barista: Ok, let's just ring this up here... That will be your soul.
Customer 2: Great! Didn't have a need for it anyway! (Moves aside to wait)
Customer 3: Yes, I'd like to order a Venti Full Strength Jesus, please.
Barista: Sorry sir, but we don't serve those here. We have a Quasi Jesus, with a shot of something else to spice it up.
Customer 3: No I just want a straight Jesus please... Extra hot.
Barista 2: Sir, do you know why we don't serve Venti Full Strength Jesus here?
Customer 3: No, why?
Barista: Because those who ordered it never wanted anything else. Ever. As a matter of fact, once they ordered it, they never were thirsty again. Which means they didn't order again. Which means business went down. As a matter of fact, they started pestering the other customers to get it. Those who liked the Full Strength Jesus Lattes think it is the way, the truth, the life, and the drink that will quench their thirst for all time.
Customer 3: Well, that's how I want him. Straight and full strength.
Barista: Well, then you came to the wrong place! Next!

The Meaning of the Candy Cane

Many years ago a
candy maker

wanted to make a

candy that would

symbolize the true meaning of
Christmas - Jesus.

The hard candy
was shaped like a
"J" to represent that
Jesus is our rock of
all ages. The candy
was made of white
to stand for the
pureness of Jesus.
The red represents
the blood that Jesus shed to save
us from our sins.


So the next time
you see a candy
cane take a minute
to remember the
real meaning of
Christmas.

Dear loved ones,

As you well know, we are getting closer to my birthday. Every year there is a celebration in my honor and I think that this year the celebration will be repeated. During this time there are many people shopping for gifts, there are many radio announcements, TV commercials, and in every part of the world everyone is talking that my birthday is getting closer and closer.
It is really very nice to know, that at least once a year, some people think of me. As you know, the celebration of my birthday began many years ago. At first people seemed to understand and be thankful of all that I did for them, but in these times, no one seems to know the reason for the celebration. Family and friends get together and have a lot of fun, but they don't know the meaning of the celebration.
I remember that last year there was a great feast in my honor. The dinner table was full of delicious foods, pastries, fruits, assorted nuts and chocolates. The decorations were exquisite and there were many, many beautifully wrapped gifts. But, do you want to know something? I wasn't invited. I was the guest of honor and they didn't remember to send me an invitation. The party was for me, but when that great day came, I was left outside, they closed the door in my face .... and I wanted to be with them and share their table.
In truth, that didn't surprise me because in the last few years all close their doors to me. Since I wasn't invited, I decided to enter the party without making any noise. I went in and stood in a corner. They were all drinking; there were some who were drunk and telling jokes and laughing at everything. They were having a grand time. To top it all, this big fat man all dressed in red wearing a long white beard entered the room yelling Ho-Ho-Ho! He seemed drunk. He sat on the sofa and all the children ran to him, saying: "Santa Claus, Santa Claus" .. as if the party were in his honor!
At 12 Midnight all the people began to hug each other; I extended my arms waiting for someone to hug me and ... do you know ... no one hugged me. Suddenly they all began to share gifts. They opened them one by one with great expectation. When all had been opened, I looked to see if, maybe, there was one for me. What would you feel if on your birthday everybody shared gifts and you did not get one? I then understood that I was unwanted at that party and quietly left.
Every year it gets worse. People only remember to eat and drink, the gifts, the parties and nobody remembers me. I would like this Christmas that you allow me to enter into your life. I would like that you recognize the fact that over two thousand years ago I came to this world to give my life for you, on the cross, to save you. Today, I only want that you believe this with all your heart.
I want to share something with you. As many didn't invite me to their party, I will have my own celebration, a grandiose party that no one has ever imagined, a spectacular party.
I'm still making the final arrangements. Today I am sending out many invitations and there is an invitation for you. I want to know if you wish to attend and I will make a reservation for you and write your name with golden letters in my great guest book. Only those on the guest list will be invited to the party. Those who don't answer the invite,will be left outside. Be prepared because when all is ready you will be part of my great party.
See you soon,
I Love you!,
Jesus

I Believe....

Birth Certificate shows that we were born.
A Death Certificate shows that we died.
Our life represents what we do between those two dashes of time on our headstones!
Have a seat . . . Relax . . . And read this slowly.

I Believe...
That just because two people argue,
doesn't mean they don't love each other. And just because they don't argue, doesn't mean they do love each other.

I Believe...
That we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change.


I Believe...
That no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


I Believe...
That true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love.


I Believe...
That you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life.



I Believe...
That it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.



I Believe...
That you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.


I Believe...
That you can keep going long after you think you can't.


I Believe...
That we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.


I Believe...
That either you control your attitude or it controls you.


I Believe...
That heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.


I Believe...
That money is a lousy way of keeping score
