Two guys were picked up by the cops for smoking dope and appeared in
court before the judge.
The judge said, "You seem like nice young men,
and I'd like to give you a second chance rather than jail time. I want
you to go out this weekend and try to show others the evils of drug use
and pursued them to give up drugs forever. I'll see you back in court
Monday."
Monday, the two guys were in court, and the judge said to the
first one, "How did you do over the weekend?"
"Well, your honor, I persuaded 17 people to give up drugs forever."said the first guy.
"17
people? That's wonderful. What did you tell them?" asked the Judge.
"I used a diagram,
your honor. I drew two circles like this: O o and told them this (the
big circle) is your brain before drugs and this (small circle)is your
brain after drugs." he said with pride.
"That's admirable," said the judge. He looked over at the other young man...
"And you, how
did you do?"
"Well, your honor, I persuaded 156 people
to give up drugs forever."he said.
"156 people??? That's amazing! How did you
manage to do that???" asked the Judge.
""Well, I used the same two circles. I pointed to the
small circle and told them, "This is your asshole before prison...."
EVERYBODY HAVE A SUPER GROOVALICIOUS WEEKEND!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"
DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
