A little treat for my friends in Texas:

TODAY'S JOKE: Psychiatry students were in their Emotional Extremes class. "Let's set some parameters," the professor said. "What's the opposite of joy?" he asked one student.
"Sadness" he replied.
"The opposite of depression?" he asked another student.
"Elation," he replied.
"The opposite of woe?" the prof asked a young woman from Texas.
The Texan replied "Sir, I believe that would be giddyup."

TODAY'S BIBLE VERSE: "Be still, and know that I am God." Psalms 46:10

A JOKE FOR YOUR KIDS: Posted by Kyle Laughlin (8 years old tomorrow!)

A magician has been working on a cruise ship doing the same act for many years. The audiences like him, and they change often enough that he doesn't have to worry about finding new tricks. But the captain's parrot sits in the back row and watches him night after night. After a while, the parrot figures out how the tricks work and starts giving the secrets away to the audiences. When the magician makes a bouquet of flowers disappear, for instance, the parrot squawks, "Behind his back! Behind his back!" Well, the magician gets really annoyed at this, but he doesn't know what to do, since the parrot belongs to the captain. One day the ship springs a leak and sinks. The magician manages to grab hold of a plank of wood and floats on it. The parrot flies over and sits on the other end. They drift and drift for three days without speaking. On the morning of the fourth day, the parrot looks over at the magician and says, "Okay, I give up. Where did you hide the ship?"
