What's that smell?
Posted: March 8, 2007 | 9:40 AM | Emily Ralph


To get rid of skunk smell on dogs, people, objects:

1 quart of hydrogen peroxide
1/4 c. baking soda
1 t. liquid dishwashing soap

To get rid of lingering skunk smell in the house or car, cut up fresh lemons and set around the space--we're told it gets rid of the smell within an hour!


In Honor of Theodore Geisel and The Morning Show Gang
Posted: March 2, 2007 | 9:37 AM | Emily Ralph


My voice is so bad, I can not sing a note
And no one would listen to songs that I wrote.
So when I wake up, I know just what to do
I turn on the Word FM Morning Show crew!

Miss Emmy is sweet, and she brings out our smiles
With her charm, intellect and her feminine wiles.
While Dave cranks the tunes out to brighten our days
And teases Miss Em in the funniest ways.

So if you find coffee just won't do the trick
Tune in to the Morning Show crew - they're a kick!


Sick Notes
Posted: February 26, 2007 | 2:52 PM | Emily Ralph


These are real notes written by parents in a Tennessee school district.

1. My son is under a doctor's care and should not take PE today. Please execute him.
2. Please excuse Lisa for being absent. She was sick and I had her shot.
3. Please excuse John being absent on January 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and also 33.
4. Please excuse Roland from PE for a few days. Yesterday he fell out of a tree and misplaced his hip.
5. John has been absent because he had two teeth taken out of his face.
6. Megan could not come to school today because she has been bothered by very close veins.
7. Chris will not be in school because he has an acre in his side.
8. Please excuse Jennifer for missing school yesterday. We forgot to get the Sunday paper off the porch, and when we found it Monday we thought it was Sunday.

God is "Big Enough"
Posted: February 5, 2007 | 7:40 AM | Emily Ralph

We've been reading through the Bible this year and right now we are reading about Moses and the God delivering the Israelites from Pharaoh in Egypt.  I came across this article from NetBible.org:

What would have happened had Moses tried to figure out what was needed to accomplish God’s command? One of the biggest arithmetical miracles in the world was required in the desert.

Moses led the people of Israel into the desert….Now what was he going to do with them? They had to be fed, and feeding 3-1/2 million people required a lot of food. According to the U. S. Army’s Quartermaster General, Moses needed 1500 tons of food a day, filling two freight trains, each a mile long. Besides, you must remember, they were cooking the food. Just for cooking this took 4000 tons of firewood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long and this is only for one day (not to mention for keeping warm, and if anyone tells you it doesn’t get cold in the desert don’t believe them!). They were for forty YEARS in transit!!!

Let’s not forget about water, shall we? If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes (no bathing?!), it took 11,000,000 gallons EACH DAY--enough to fill a train of tanker cars 1800 miles long.

And another thing! They had to get across the red sea in one night. Now if they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and require 35 days and nights to complete the crossing. So to get it over in one night there had to be a space in the Red Sea 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5,000 abreast. Think about this; every time they camped at the end of the day, a camp ground the size of Rhode Island was required, or 750 square miles.

Do you think that Moses sat down and figured out the logistics of what God told him to do before he set out from Egypt? I doubt it. He had faith that God would take care of everything. Let us have courage, we share the very same God!         


Computers vs. Cars

Posted: January 30, 2007 | 9:20 AM | Emily Ralph

The Word FM received this via e-mail and makes no claim to accuracy or intention—we just thought it was really funny!

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated: “If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon.” 

In response to Bill’s comment, General Motors issued a press release stating:

 If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: 

  1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash. . . twice a day.
  2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
  3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason.  You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue.  For some reason you would simply accept this.
  4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
  5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive—but would run on only five percent of the roads.
  6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single “This Car has performed an illegal operation” warning light.
  7. The airbag system would ask “Are you sure?” before deploying.
  8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
  9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
  10. You’d have to press the “start” button to turn the engine off.
