But he was wounded for our transgressions,

he was bruised for our iniquities: the

chastisement of our peace was upon him;

and with his stripes we are healed. All we like

sheep have gone astray; we have turned

every one to his own way; and the Lord hath

laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:5-6

The great gift of Easter is hope-Christian Hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in His ultimate triumph and in His goodness and love, which nothing can shake.

~Basil C. Hume

STRANGE BUT TRUE

by Samantha Weaver

* It was Senator Eugene McCarthy who made the following sage observation:

"Being in politics is like being a football coach. You have to be smart enough

to understand the game, and dumb enough to think it's important."

* In 1916, the town of Erwin, Tennessee, used a train's derrick car to hang an

elephant for the crime of murder.

* Your hands and feet have more sweat glands than any other part of your

body.

* You might be surprised to learn that Zachary Taylor, the 12th president of

the United States, didn't vote in a single presidential election until his own

name was on the ballot.

* If you leave a faucet running for a single minute, approximately 3 to 5 gal-

lons of water will be washed down the drain.

* It was the spring of 1936, and John Steinbeck was working on his novel "Of

Mice and Men." He was also working on training his new puppy, Toby. The

training evidently wasn't going well; one day, Toby chewed up half of Stein-

beck's handwritten manuscript -- the only copy. The author took the setback

pretty well, it seems: A few days after the incident, he wrote to a friend, "I

was pretty mad but the poor little fellow may have been acting critically. I

didn't want to ruin a good dog on a [manuscript] I'm not sure is good at all.

He only got an ordinary spanking with his punishment flyswatter."

* It's been reported that Elvis Presley knew by heart every word spoken in the

film "Patton."

* If you're like 7 percent of American workers, you had a job at McDonald's at

some point in your life.

* According to ancient Chinese medical practice, doctors only got paid once

their patients became healthy again.
