On February 8th. Vince Burkey, Rosemary Cousino, Bettye Miller, Robt. & Jackie Nietubicz greeted Marilyn & Bernie. We were happy that Sheriff Crutchfield could join us today. 

The Sheriff was very concerned about the demand that he cut his budget, and the possibility he would have to lay-off five people. There are also cars and equipment that will eventually have to be repaired or replaced. 
He was glad to take a break from a morning of “number crunching.” Our retirees are always glad to see him, and they enjoyed this opportunity to ask several questions. 

Atty. Mike Brown plans to be a our March 8th. breakfast, and he will bring tickets for the 2009 Recognition Dinner at the F.O.P. on April 23rd. Tickets will be $15 for everyone. 
Sandy Nadeau (C.O.) will be preparing the food, and she always does a great job of catering. 

We had printed copies for those who could not read the RECORD on the internet at: 
<www.recordnewsletter.com> 
The Retirees meet about 9:00 a.m. on the second Monday of each month in the back room of Zander’s Restaurant (Dixie Highway at I-75 Exit 15) Anyone may join us. 

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY 
May love and laughter light your days, 
and warm your heart and home. 
May good and faithful friends be yours, 
wherever you may roam. 
May peace and plenty bless your world 
with joy that long endures. 
May all life's passing seasons 
bring the best to you and yours!

       KIDS IN CHURCH

3-year-old Reese : 'Our Father, Who does art in heaven, 
Harold is His name. Amen.' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
A little boy was overheard praying: 
'Lord, if you can't make me a better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like I am.' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
After the christening of his baby brother in church, 
Jason sobbed all the way home in the back seat of the car 
His father asked him three times what was wrong. 
Finally, the boy replied, 'That preacher said he wanted us brought up in a Christian home, and I wanted to stay with you guys.' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
One particular four-year-old prayed, 
'And forgive us our trash baskets 
As we forgive those who put trash in our baskets.' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
A Sunday school teacher asked her children as they 
Were on the way to church service, 
'And why is it necessary to be quiet in church?' 
One bright little girl replied, 
'Because people are sleeping.' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin 5, and Ryan 3. The boys began to argue over 
who would get the first pancake. 

Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. 
'If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 
'Let my brother have the first pancake, I can wait.' 
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, 
' Ryan , you be Jesus !' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
A father was at the beach with his children 
When the four-year-old son ran up to him, 
Grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore 
Where a seagull lay dead in the sand. 
'Daddy, what happened to him?' the son asked. 
'He died and went to Heaven,' the Dad replied. 
The boy thought a moment and then said, 
'Did God throw him back down?' 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
A wife invited some people to dinner.. 
At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, 'Would you like to say the blessing?' 
'I wouldn't know what to say,' the girl replied.. 
'Just say what you hear Mommy say,' the wife answered 
The daughter bowed her head and said, 
'Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?'

Vaseline Research 
A man doing market research for the Vaseline Company knocked at the door and was greeted by a young woman with three small children running around at her feet. "I'm doing some research for Vaseline. Have you ever used the product?" She said, "Yes. My husband and I use it all the time." 
"If you don't mind my asking," he said, "what do you use it for?" "We use it for sex," she said. The researcher was a little taken aback. "Usually people lie to me and say they use it on a child's bicycle chain or to help with a gate hinge. But, in fact, I know that most people do use it for sex.
I admire you for your honesty. Since you've been so frank so far, can you tell me exactly HOW you use it for sex?" 
The woman said, "I don't mind telling you at all. 
My husband and I put it on the doorknob and it keeps the kids out."
