April 2013 T-Twister Newsletter
I know that Easter will be over, and probably forgotten by many by the time this Folly comes out. But right now, as I set at my computer, Easter is tomorrow, and my mind is filled with the enigma of God's love for us. Why enigma? Ask yourself this question...would you turn over your only child to die the most horrible death known, so the people who hates your guts won't have to recieve the punishment they deserve for the bad things they've done? I don't have that kind of love. I cannot grasp it, or wrap my mind around it. But, as one of those sinners, I am so very thankful that God loves me that much, that He forgives me for my sins and faults, and welcomes me into His widespread arms as His adopted child, through the Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord God. Amen.

Happy Spring to each and every one of you!
Regardless of what the thermometer says, spring is here. I seem to be taking it harder than usual, with the "roller-coaster" ride that the thermometer is taking. Seems like I just get relaxed and start enjoying the warm weather, then I get up to go to work one morning and there's ice on my windshield!! It's been in the lower 80's for several days now, and will be there for a couple of days more...then Tuesday's high is to be 49???? I guess I'd better not put those sweatshirts away yet!
Congratulations to Smurf on getting his Harley!! I don't have any details on the bike yet, but I'm proud as punch about him getting it!!
You all knew that Smurf and Tracey's grand daughter was born premature. Paislee Grace was born March 13 and weighed in at an amazing 2 pounds, 15 ounces. The last report I got on Miss Paislee's progress, she has gained up to 3lb 3 ounces! Praise our Lord for His mercy and Grace! She's gaining weight at a steady rate and all tests are positive! Hopefully it won't be too long before she'll get to go home with her Dad and Mom.

Just A Chuckle...
There was a man who worked all of his life and saved all of his money. He was a real miser when it came to his money. He loved money more than just about anything, and just before he died, he said to his wife, "Now listen, when I die, I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket with me. I wanna take my money to the afterlife."
So he got his wife to promise him with all her heart that when he died, she would put all the
money in the casket with him.
Well, one day he died. He was stretched out in the casket, the wife was sitting there in black next to her closest friend. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said "Wait just a minute!"
She had a shoe box with her, she came over with the box and placed it in the casket. Then the undertakers locked the casket down and rolled it away. Her friend said, "I hope you weren't crazy enough to put all that money in the casket."
"Yes," the wife said, "I promised. I can't lie. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
"You mean to tell me you put every cent of his money in the casket with him?"
"I sure did. I got it all together, put it into my account and I wrote him a check."
