How to submit an article to the Grace chatterbox

Hello All,
Those of you who have visited the Grace CRC website may have noticed that there is a link  called ‘Chatterbox’.

The whole idea of this link is for us all to participate by submitting a story, joke, and basically any food for thought. We all receive something from time to time that is worth sharing.
I want to challenge everyone to make the effort and to at least make one submission.

It is easier than you think.

There are a few rules that we must adhere to and they are as follows:-

1.       Use Microsoft word as your word processing tool.

2.       Use Arial 10x as your font.

3.       Do not submit pictures. They will not display. There is a different procedure to follow when submitting pictures.

4.       Any form of text, hyperlinks etc should all be in order.

5.       Your heading you place in the subject line of your email. Do not place a heading else where. It will just be duplicated when processed.

6.       Send your article to holmes_rw.gracecrc@blogger.com

7.       NB: Send the article as inline text and not as an attachment.

8.       I will keep it all tidy therefore do not worry about making mistakes.

Happy blogging,

Richard

Misconceptions - A girl asked her boyfriend if he thought she was pretty.

A girl asked her boyfriend if he thought she was pretty, He said...no.

She asked him if he would want to be with her forever.... and he said no.

She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he replied with a no.

She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face, the boy grabbed her arm and said....

You're not pretty you're beautiful. I don't want to be with you forever,

I NEED to be with you forever.

And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die...

Humour - Letter to God

There was a man who worked for the Post Office whose job it was to process all the mail that had illegible addresses. One day, a letter came addressed in a shaky handwriting to God. He thought he should open it to see what it was about. The letter read:

Dear God,

I am an 83yr old widow, living on a very small pension. Yesterday someone stole my purse. It had £100 in it, which was all the money I had until my next pension cheque. Next Sunday is Christmas, and I had invited two of my friends over for dinner. Without that money, I have nothing to buy food with. I have no family to turn to, and you are my only hope.

Can you please help me?

Sincerely,
Edna

The postal worker was touched. He showed the letter to all the other workers. Each one dug into his or her wallet and came up with a few pounds. By the time he made the rounds, he had collected £96, which they put into an envelope and sent to the woman. The rest of the day, all the workers felt a warm glow thinking of Edna and the dinner she would be able to share
with her friends.

Christmas came and went. A few days later another letter came from the old lady to God All the workers gathered around while the letter was opened.

It read:

Dear God,

How can I ever thank you enough for what you did for me? Because of your gift of love, I was able to fix a glorious dinner for my friends. We had a very nice day and I told my friends of your wonderful gift. By the way, there was £4 missing. I think it must have been those thieving bastards at the Post Office.

Sincerely,
Edna
