A junior partner in a law firm was sent to a far away country to represent a long-term client accused of robbery. After days of trial, the case was won, the client acquitted and released.

Excited about his success, the attorney e-mailed the firm: “Justice prevailed.”

“Lawyers have been known to wrest from reluctant juries triumphant verdicts of acquittal for their clients, even when those clients, as often happens, were clearly and unmistakably innocent.”

-- Oscar Wilde

Another joke from a website at http://www.ahajokes.com/law090.html

I saw this joke on a website of lawyer jokes at http://www.ahajokes.com/law093.html

Be silent if the Blood of Jesus means nothing to you,
  if the agony He suffered on the cross,
  if the love of His sacrifice is worthless in your eyes,
  if you can gaze into His eyes and tell Him you don't care,
  that his children can rot in hell for all you care,
  if the faithful can be punished for the crimes of the unfaithful,

Searching for Reasons

To find reasons why divorce is so rampant these days, one does not have to look very far. By that, I don't mean to suggest that the one reason which is the answer to all problems is so close to us that we cannot miss it. What I intend to suggest is something many people may find very unpopular and perhaps nearly universally offensive.

Art Linkletter passed away at age 97 in Los Angeles, and I would like to honor Art and his wife, Lois, for 75 years of marriage. Art is survived by his wife and two of his five children. God bless you and your family always, Art Linkletter!

Did you hear awhile back that Sandra Bullock was taking blame for her husband's affairs?

It is hard not to honor her for her courage and willingness to step up. But, if you have experienced the pain of being rejected, you may have many reasons to do what Sandra did.

• If you blame your spouse, you may may be afraid of driving him or her away.
• You may be afraid of driving them into the arms of the other person.
• You may fear losing your one and only chance to save the marriage.
• You want your spouse to love you, to choose you, to stay with you.

How would you feel if your unfaithful spouse rejected you anyway? What if your spouse pitted you into a competition for affection playing one lover against the other? Would you accept a life of slavery? Would you panic? Would you throw your spouse away with regret? Or without regret? Or with regret pretending not to regret?

What would you do?

I have a dream that one day America will love and honor marriage...

How can we move God to answer our prayers?

I want to be careful never to encourage a mercenary attitude when I talk about getting answers to prayer. We cannot cut deals with God. He is the one who knows what will bring the greatest good while our view is limited. But, there is a way we can still get answers to prayer, and that's a good thing!
