No actually I didn’t. I just need some good thread ideas. No one ever posts in mine. So could you help me out a little? ``` Jeff ``` ---

I thought this was about the Guarunteed Overnight Delivery trucks, which freak me out whenever I see them. Big 18 wheeler with GOD painted on HUGE letters on the side. ---

Heard of a moving company who’s trucks said, ‘The Potentate of Tote and Freight.’ That’s my favorite. Like to say it over and over. Gets cool looks from people every time. sk8…what’re you thinking of? ---

God once told me the meaning of life, but I forgot to write it down. I think it was something like 43. ---

John Denver: “But how will they know that You sent me?” George Burns: “Oh. Wait a second.” Looks around on the desk. “Just show this to them.” Hands John Denver a business card with the single word “God”. ---

Some 75 years or more ago, my family visited some family friends’ house for the afternoon. Picnic out back, kids running around, etc. At some point, my older sister ran inside and said to our mother that she had seen God. My mother asked her how she knew she had seen God, and my sister said, “Well, I’m pretty sure it was God. I saw his ears.” ---
