A man and his dog were walking along a road.
The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.

He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years.
He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road.

It looked like fine marble.

At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.

When he was standing before it, he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold.

He and the dog walked toward the gate,and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side.



When he was close enough, he called out,'Excuse me, where are we?'

'This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.

'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.

'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'

The man gestured, and the gate began to open. 'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.

'I'm sorry; sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.

After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed.

There was no fence.

As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book....





'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'

'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.'

'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog.

'There should be a bowl by the pump,' said the man.

They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.

The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, and then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.

'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.

'This is Heaven,' he answered.

'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said.

'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.'

'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's hell.'

'Doesn't it make you angry for them to use your name like that?'

'No, we're just happy that they screen outthe folks who would leave their best friends behind.'



Soooo. Now you see, sometimes, we wonder why friends keep forwarding stuff to us without writing a word. Maybe this will explain it.

When you are very busy, but still want to keep in touch, guess what you do? You forward emails.

When you have nothing to say, but still want to keep contact, you forward jokes.



A 'forward' lets you know thatyou are still remembered, you are still important, you are still loved, you are still cared for.

So, next time if you get a 'forward', don't think that you've been sent just another forwarded joke, but that you've been thought of today and your friend on the other end of your computer wanted to send you a smile.

You are welcome at my water bowl anytime

Meet the "old" Frank

the old Frank Ferrante - a boisterous 54-year-old Sicilian from Brooklyn, NY, living in San Francisco. While Frank has a great love of life, good food, beautiful women and a fun time, he is also a former drug and alcohol addict, overweight and fighting Hepatitis C.

Long estranged from his only daughter, Frank is suffering from depression, has been single for many years, is taking an assortment of pharma drugs and is constantly fatigued. Frank's instincts tell him life can get much better than this, but all he knows how to do is hope for a miracle. His zest for living has been diminished by his health issues, self-loathing and disconnect from himself and his family.

Miracles still happening?

I have been away for 3 months, I have been working very hard and for many hours each day, I missed my blog, I missed talking to people about miracles, when I came back to my last page, I said how did this get here? I did not remember posting it, I was moved by the little girl who tried to buy a miracle for her brother, and DID.

Why have I been too busy, Could I have lived without working, I could have and I might have posted other miracles or helped in someway somewhere where it was not about the MONEY but about helping my fellow man, bragging about it will not get you anything special, but sure helps your heart. It is about helping each other in any way we can, DO IT, Not if you will I will, but no matter what, I am going out to help someone somewhere, NO MATTER WHAT, Tell me what you are doing, not because it is good advertising, God knows what is real and what is not, I learned a few things in the rush of working again, One is, I will not do it again because it took away from the good I could have done for someone who did not get my help because I was working for money I could have done without. I did learn some important things for myself and will share them with you not to make you believe my way but to explain how I feel that I found about my god, maybe he is your God too, I think there is only one and it does not matter one way or another to him as long as you believe. if you feel that you must believe in one set of rules, good, believe them, just believe. I feel so much better now, i can do good and that is all he cares about. You know good he knows good. There is no lying or kidding, HE KNOWS. DO GOOD, HE KNOWS AND LIKES IT.
