“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant,
and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to
heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A
time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones
together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; A time to
get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to
speak; A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of
peace.”

Dear
Friends and Schoolmates,
Summer is almost
upon us, and as everyone knows the three months of summer don't last nearly as
long as the three months of the other seasons, I thought we'd better herald its
arrival a day early.

1962
BONUS #2 -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHi5O5xiqAU - Turn! Turn! Turn! - The
Byrds, October 23, 1965
From
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turn!_Turn!_Turn!:
| "Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There Is a Season)", often
abbreviated to "Turn! Turn! Turn!", is a song written by
Pete Seeger in the late 1950s. The lyrics, except for the title
which is repeated throughout the song, and the final verse of the song,
are adapted word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the
Book of Ecclesiastes, set to music and recorded in 1962. The song
was originally released as "To Everything There Is a Season" on
The Limeliters' album Folk Matinee and then some months later
on Seeger's own The Bitter and the Sweet.[1]
The song became an international
hit
in late 1965 when it was
covered by the American
folk
rock band
The
Byrds, bowing at #80 on October 23, 1965, before reaching #1 on the
Hot 100 chart on December 4, 1965, #3 in Canada (Nov. 29, 1965), and
also peaking at #26 on the
UK Singles Chart.
The lyrics are taken almost verbatim from the
Book of Ecclesiastes, as found in the
King James Version (1611) of the
Bible[2]
(Ecclesiastes
3:1-8), though the sequence of the words was rearranged for the
song. Ecclesiastes is traditionally ascribed to
King Solomon...
The Biblical text posits there being a time and place for all things:
laughter and sorrow, healing and killing, war and peace, and so on. The
lines are open to myriad interpretations, but as a song they are
commonly performed as a plea for
world peace, with an emphasis on the closing line: "a time for
peace, I swear it's not too late." This line and the title phrase "Turn!
Turn! Turn!" are the only parts of the lyric written by Seeger himself.[1]
The song is notable for being one of a few instances in
popular music in which a large portion of scripture is set to music,
other examples being
The Melodians' "Rivers
of Babylon",
Sister Janet Mead's "The
Lord's Prayer", and
U2's "40"... |

FINALLY:
From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 06/19/14:
| A man was well inebriated, but he got behind
the wheel of his car anyway and began to drive home. Of course, he
couldn't exactly drive straight or stay below the speed limit.
Two policemen pulled him over and demanded a
sobriety test. They asked him to walk a straight line, and he failed.
They began to take him with them, but suddenly they received a call on
their walkie-talkies, asking them to go to another part of town.
They asked the man to be patient while they
called someone else to cover for them. But the man grew tired of waiting
and, after a few minutes, drove home.
He got in bed and said to his wife, who had
been waiting for him, "If any policemen come looking for me, tell them
I'm not home yet."
The wife agreed, somewhat confused and a little
embarrassed. No sooner than her husband fell asleep did she hear a knock
at the door. Sure enough, it was the two policemen.
They asked about her husband, and she replied
that he wasn't home.
Then they asked to check her garage. Puzzled,
she agreed. She opened up the garage for them--and there sat the
policemen's squad car, lights still flashing. |

To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing
To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven
A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late
