This is cool...

Read this line very slowly and let it sink in...

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
Pass this message to seven people
except you and me.
You will receive a miracle tomorrow ( just do it)!
THE BRICK
A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street,
going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar.
He was watching for kids darting out
from between parked cars
and slowed down when he thought he saw something.
As his car passed, no children appeared.
Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door!
He slammed on the brakes
and backed the Jag back to the spot where
the brick had been thrown.
The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and
pushed him up against a parked car shouting,
"What was that all about and who are you?
Just what the heck are you doing?
That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic.
"Please, mister...please,
I'm sorry but I didn't know what else to do,"
He pleaded.
"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..." With tears dripping down his face
and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
"It's my brother," he said.
"He rolled off the curb and fell out of his
wheelchair and I can't lift him up."
Now sobbing, the boy asked the
stunned executive,
"Would you please help me get him back into his
wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat.
He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into
the wheelchair, then took out a linen handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts.
A quick look told him everything
was going to be okay.
"Thank you and may God bless you,"
the grateful child told the stranger.
Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home
It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar.
The damage was very noticeable,
but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message
"Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!"
God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen,
He has to throw a brick at us.
It's our choice to listen or not.
Thought for the Day:
If God had a refrigerator,
your picture would be on it.
If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.
He sends you flowers every spring.
He sends you a sunrise every morning.
Face it, friend - He is crazy about you!
God didn't promise days without
pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.

Thanks, Rhino.

Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.

Ok, so it's pink, but I'm secure in my manhood, and I still look cool coming in under it!

I never heard this one before--then again I delete most forwards w/out reading them.

This one came from my manager today, so I had to read it.


Edit: It's rather amusing this forward came after I'd changed my avatar this morning.

Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

man, my 1st thought was why didnt the kid knock on a house door I understand the sentiment and it's all nice and stuff, but throwing bricks at cars is a pretty bad metaphor


I prefer Ringo Starrs "Stop and Smell the Roses"

You are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky)

Let's remember, people, God does not throw bricks at cars. People throw bricks at cars.
