Of faith and fun

Of   FAITH  -  My friend and sister in the Lord, Trish, posted this quote at the Virtuous Women Group:

 

                                                   

 

                                      Wise Words,
               “Jesus is our advocate, satan is the accuser.       
When talking about others, be careful who you team up with.”                        -Wayne Dillard   

 

As to the   FUN -  Another Arca Max jewel. This perfectly illustrates the difference between just doing your job and doing your job well!

 

                                       

 

 A woman calls an import parts warehouse and asks for a 28- ounce water pump. "A what?" says the confused parts guy. "My husband says he needs a 28-ounce water pump."



"A 28-ounce water pump? What kind of car does it fit?"



"A Datsun."

 

As the parts guy writes down "Datsun, 28 oz. water pump" the light in his head goes on. "Oh yes ma'am. We've got 28-ounce water pumps. We have 24-ounce and 26-ounce water pumps too."



"Finally," she says. "You're the first place I've called that knew what I was talking about." "Yes ma'am."



That's because we're a full-service parts warehouse; it's our job to have the parts you need, like a 28-ounce water pump," he says, smiling, as he jots down:  customer pick-up, Datsun 280Z water pump, part number...

  4. Hello Barbara, I have a 1986 and 1/2 Nissan 720 Pick-up.  Also a Toyota 1978 Corrolla that hasn't been driven or even started for many years.   I have had to go thru 2 complete knee replacements, and now I am having to do physical therapy to get more mobility from my back and shoulder injury.   I didn't know if you were telling a joke, or if the parts story illustrated a true detailed knowledge of those vehicles.   You visited my journal and commented about my Mom having her biopsy done for cancer detection.  Your prayers are very appreciated.  I will return to read more of your journal.  Thanks again,    mark
