Long ago when sailing ships ruled the waves

Long ago, when sailing ships ruled the waves, a captain and his crew were in danger of being boarded by a pirate ship.

As the crew became frantic, the captain bellowed to his First Mate, "Bring me my red shirt!".

The First Mate quickly retrieved the captain's red shirt, which the captain put on and lead the crew to battle the pirate boarding party.

Although some casualties occurred among the crew, the pirates were repelled.

The battle was on, and once again the Captain and his crew repelled both boarding parties, although this time more casualties occurred.

The crew cowered in fear, but the captain calm as ever bellowed, "Bring me my red shirt!".

Weary from the battles, the men sat around on deck that night recounting the day's occurrences…

when an ensign looked to the Captain and asked, "Sir, why did you call for your red shirt before the battle? ".

The Captain, giving the ensign a look that only a captain can give, exhorted,

"If I am wounded in battle, the red shirt does not show the wound and thus, you men will continue to fight unafraid".

The men sat in silence marveling at the courage of such a man.

As dawn came the next morning, the lookout screamed that there were pirate ships, 10 of them, all with boarding parties on their way.

The men became silent and looked to their Captain for his usual command. The Captain, calm as ever, bellowed,

"Bring me my brown pants!!

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

The other night dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms, but when I woke dear, I was mistaken, and I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are gray you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

You told me once dear you really loved me that no one else could come between but now you've left me and love another you have shattered all my dreams.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine you make me happy, when skies are gray, you'll never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away. Please don’t take my sunshine away.

Pearl of Wisdom

God Moves In A Mysterious Way God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform; He plants His footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm.

Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill He treasures up His bright designs, And works His sovereign will.

Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head.

Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, But trust Him for His grace; Behind a frowning providence He hides a smiling face.

His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower.

Blind unbelief is sure to err, And scan his work in vain; God is His own interpreter, And He will make it plain. William Cowper
