My wife told me the other day that Karen Grassle recently turned 70.

For many of you, that tidbit of information may be meaningless, but it was reminiscent of a television show that put a lot of valuable ideas in my head.

The man said to the snake, “I’m not going to let you in! You’re a rattle snake and you’re going to bite me!”

One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful cup. They said, "May we see that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful."

As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the cup spoke. "You don't understand," it said. "I haven't always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay. My master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, 'let me alone,' but he only smiled, 'Not yet.'"

Mellen-Thomas Benedict is an artist who survived a near-death experience in 1982. He was dead for over an hour and a half. During that time, he rose up out of his body and went into the light.
