I got an email from my cousin in Chicago the other day. I thought it was pretty interesting, so I decided to pass it along:
* DID YOU KNOW THESE FACTS ? *
* I SURE DIDN'T TILL NO W *
Death is certain but the Bible speaks about untimely death !
Make a personal reflection about this . . .
Very interesting, read until the end . . .
It is written in the Bible ( Galatians 6:7 ):
' Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
For whatsoever a man soweth,
That shall he also reap. '
Here are some men and women
Who mocked God :
* John * * * * Lennon * * ( Singer ): *
Some years before, during his interview
with an American Magazine, he said:
' Christianity will end, it will disappear.
I do not have to argue about
That . I am certain.
Jesus was ok, but his subjects were too simple, < BR>
Today we are More famous than Him ' ( 1966 ).
Lennon, after saying
that the Beatles were more famous than
Jesus Christ, was shot six times.
* Tancredo Neves * * ( President of Brazil ): *
During the Presidential campaign,
he said if he got 500,000 Votes from his party,
not even God would remove him from
Presidency.
Sure he got the votes,
but he got sick a day before being
Made President, then he died.
* Cazuza *
* ( Bi - sexual Brazilian composer,
singer and poet ): *
During A show in Canecio ( Rio de Janeiro ),
While smoking his cigarette,
he puffed out some smoke
Into the air and said:
' God, that's for you. '
He died at the age of 32
of AIDS in a horrible manner.
* * The man who built the Titanic * *
After the construction of Titanic,
a reporter asked him how
Safe the Titanic would be.
With an ironic tone he said:
' Not even God can sink it '
The result:
I think you all know what happened
to the Titanic .
* Marilyn Monroe * (Actress) *
She was visited by Billy Graham
during a presentation of a Show.
He said the Spirit of God
had sent him to preach to her.
After hearing what the Preacher had to say,
she said:
' I don't need your Jesus '.
A week later,
she was found dead in her apartment .
* * Bon Scott * * ( Singer ) *
The ex - vocalist of the AC / DC.
On one of his 1979 songs he
Sang :
' Don't stop me,
I'm going down all the way,
down the highway
To hell '.
On the 19th of February 1980 ,
Bon Scott was found dead,
he Had been choked by his own vomit.
* * Campinas * * ( IN 2005 ) *
In Campinas , Brazil ,
a group of friends, drunk,
went to pick up
A friend . . .
The mother accompanied her t o the car
and was so worried About the drunkenness
of her friends and she said to the
Daughter holding her hand,
who was already seated in the car:
' My Daughter, Go With God An May He Protect You. '
She responded:
' Only If He ( God ) Travels In The Trunk,
Cause Inside Here - - - It's Already Full. '
Hours later, news came by
that they had been involved in a
Fatal accident, everyone had died,
The car could not be recognize
what type of car it had been,
But surprisingly, the trunk was intact.
The police said there was no way the trunk
could have Remained intact.
To their surprise, inside the trunk was a Crate of eggs, none was broken .
* * Christine Hewitt * *
(Jamaican Journalist and entertainer)
said
The Bible ( Word of God )
was the worst book ever written.
In June 2006, she was found burnt
beyond recognition in her Motor vehicle .
Many more important people have forgotten
that there is no Other name that was given
so much authority as the name of Jesus.
Many have died,
but only Jesus died and rose again,
and he Is still alive . * ' Jesus ' *
On a lighter note,
Jokes
A preacher was standing at the pulpit giving his Sunday sermon when a note was passed to him. The only word written on the sheet was IDIOT. Looking up at the congregation, the preacher smiled and said: I have heard of men who write letters and forget to sign their names but this is the first time I will see a man sign his name and forget to write the letters.
An elderly couple is beginning to notice that neither of them seem to be able to remember things as well as they used to. So, they go to see their doctor, who explains that there is nothing really wrong with, just typical memory loss associated with old age. He suggests that they each get notebooks and write notes to themselves to help remember things. The couple goes home and that evening while watching T.V. the man gets up and heads for the kitchen. His wife asks if he can bring her some ice cream when he returns. He says he will, and she says he should write it down. "I’m just going to the kitchen, I'll remember." "Well, I want that with nuts, too." "O.K. he says ice cream with nuts." She asks again if he's going to write it down. "No, I'm just going to the kitchen." "And a Cherry on the top?" He agrees and turns toward the kitchen again and she asks again about writing it down. Now the old man is angry, "Look, old lady I'm not senile, I can remember ice cream with nuts and a cherry on top." He goes in the kitchen for 10 minutes and when he returns he sets a plate of bacon and eggs in front of his wife. She looks up and says, "Honey, you forgot my toast."
