Helplessly Hoping
“On
with the motley, the paint and the powder,
The people pay thee and want their laugh, you know.
If Harlequin thy Columbine has stolen,
Laugh, Punchinello, the world will shout 'Bravo!'
Go hide with laughter thy tears and thy sorrow,
Laugh and be merry, playing thy part,
Laugh, Punchinello, for the joy that is ended,
Laugh for the pain that is breaking thy heart.”
-
Ruggero Leoncavallo, from the
opera I,
Pagliacci,
1892

PRAYER REQUEST:
From Butch Ragland ('63) of CO - 11/03/16:
| Please keep me in your prayers, folks.
I will be having what should be my last eye surgery after lunch today,
so I will probably not be able to see for a good part of the weekend,
until I get my vision back and eye patch off! God Bless each of you!
... Thanks for all the prayers! I am back
in the Una boot Cast for a week, but if the healing doesn't turn the
corner this time I may have to have a little more of the remaining foot
amputated. I have just 3 toes left now, so keep those prayers coming.
The worry is over the bone becoming infected! Will find out next
Thursday if this is working! Thanks!!!
YOWZERS!
We certainly will, Butch!

BONUS NOVEMBER
DECORATING IDEA:
Thanksgiving Table Setting Idea - "Not a fan of orange and brown? No
worries; your table's color palette doesn't have to be restricted to
traditional fall colors. Instead try softer, cooler hues like the
whites, pale greens and grays found on heirloom-variety pumpkins. Use
fresh greenery, like waxy magnolia leaves or feathery evergreen boughs,
to add texture and color around the base of the centerpiece. Tuck
collected pinecones and nuts into the arrangement to celebrate nature's
bounty. Beautiful turkey feathers from a local farm are nestled among
fresh magnolia branches to decorate the chandelier as a subtle yet
elegant nod to the feast's main course." |

FINALLY: |
From
www.ajokeaday.com
- 11/03/16:
| A defendant was on trial for murder. There was
strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse.
In the defense's closing statement the lawyer,
knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a
trick. "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you
all," the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the
person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom."
He looked toward the courtroom door. The
jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed.
Nothing happened.
Finally the lawyer said, "Actually, I made up
the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I
therefore put to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to
whether anyone was killed and insist that you return a verdict of not
guilty."
The jury, clearly confused, retired to deliberate. A few minutes later,
the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have
had some doubt, I saw all of you stare at the door."
The jury foreman replied, "Oh, we did look, but your client didn't." |
