An amazing story about an
e-mail gone wrong, sent to us
by.John Beahan

''A minneapolis couple
decided to go to Florida to
thaw out during a particularly
icy winter. they planned to
stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon
20 years earlier.

because of hectic schedules,
the husband left minnesota
and flew to Florida on
thursday, with his wife flying
down the following day.
The husband checked into
the hotel. there was a
computer in his room,so he
decided to send an e-mail to
his wife.
However, he accidentally left
out one letter in her e-mail
address, and, without
realising his error, sent the
e-mail.
Meanwhile, somewhere in
Houston, a window had just
returned home from her
husband's funeral.
He was a minister who had a
heart attack and died. The
widow decided to check her
e-mail, expecting messages
from relatives and friends.
After reading the first
message, she screamed and
fainted. The widow's son
rushed into the room and saw
the computer screen which
read:
To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I've Arrived
Date: October 16, 2004
I know you're surprised to
hear from me. They have
computers here now and you
are allowed to send e-mails to
your loved ones. I've just
arrived and have been
checked in. I see that
everything has been prepared
for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you
then! Hope your journey is as
uneventful as mine was.
P.S Sure is freaking hot down
here!

EVERY CHILD SHOULD BE TAUGHT

TO EXPECTSUCCESS.

MULTITUDES OF PEOPLE, ENSLAVED BY BAD

PHYSICAL HABITS, ARE UNABLE TO GET THEIR

BEST SELVES INTO THEIR WORK.

------------------------------------------------------------

SOME OF THE GREATEST MEN IN HISTORY NEVER

DISCOVERD THEMSELVES UNTIL THEY LOST

EVERYTHING BUT THEIR PLUCK AND GRIT.

----------------------------------------------------------------

IT IS EASY TO FIND SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMEN,

BUT NOT SO EASY TO FIND MEN WHO PUT

CHARACTER ABOVE BUSINESS.

--------------------------------------------------------

ALMOST ANYBODY CAN RESOLVE TO DO A

GREAT THING; IT IS ONLY THE STRONG,

DETERMINED CHARACTER THAT PUTS THE

RESOLVE INTO EXECUTION.

--------------------------------------------------

NO SUBSTITUTE HAS EVER YET BEEN

DISCOVERED FOR HONESTY.

------------------------------------------

HAPPINESS IS A CONDITION OF MIND.

--------------------------------------------

RESOLVE THAT YOU WILL BE A MAN OF IDEAS,

ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR INPROVEMENT.

-------------------------------------------------------

POWER GRAVITATES TO THE MAN

WHO KNOWS HOW AND WHY.

----------------------------------------

THERE IS NO WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

MORE MISUSED AND ABUSED THAN LUCK.

--------------------------------------------------------

THE BEST EDUCATED PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO

ARE ALWAYS LEARNING, ALWAYS ABSORBING

KNOWLEDGE FROM EVERY POSSIBLE SOURCE,

AND AT EVERY OPPORTUNITY.

-------------------------------------------------------

A TEST OF THE QUALITY OF THE INDIVIDUAL IS THE

SPIRIT IN WHICH HE DOES HIS WORK.

if you walk in with

information about you,

they consider you a

salesman.

if you walk in with

ideas and answers,

they consider

you a resource.

Which one are you?

DAILY IN YOUR PRESENCE

Sit down, relax, and enjoy God.

Your heavenly Father longs to spend time

of the year---focus on the names and characteristics

of our wonderful Father and prompt a

grateful response from your heart.

Spend time daily in His presence. . .know

Him more deeply. . .enjoy your loving Father as

He enjoys you.
