In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a
>little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's
>intended to get you thinking..............

>Dart Test...
>
> A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in a seminary
>class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says that Dr. Smithwas known
>for his elaborate object lessons.
>
> One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were
>in for a fun day.
>
> On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr.
>Smithtold the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or
>someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at
>the person's picture.
>
> Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another
>friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally drew a picture of a
>former friend, putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing
>pimples on the face. Sally was pleased with the overall effect she had
>achieved.
>
> The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw
>their darts with such force that their targets were ripping apart. Sally
>looked forward to her turn, and was filled with disappointment when Dr.
>Smith, because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats.
>As Sally sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a
>chance to throw any darts at her target. Dr. Smithbegan removing the target
>from the wall.
>
> Underneath the target was a picture of Jesus. A hush fell over the room
>as each student viewed the mangled picture of Jesus; holes and jagged
>marks covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
>
> Dr. Smithsaid only these words... "In as much as ye have done it unto
>the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me."
> Matthew 25:40.
>
> No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students
>focused only on the picture of Christ.
>
> This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero. It's your choice.
>
> If you aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions.
>
> Jesus said, "If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you, before
>My Father."
>
> Not ashamed ... pass this on.
>
> Ashamed . delete it.

>One day Satan and Jesus were having a conversation. Satan had just come
>from the Garden of Eden, and he was gloating and boasting. "Yes, sir, I just
>caught the world full of people down there. Set me a trap used bait I knew
>they couldn't resist. Got 'em all!"
>
>"What are you going to do with them?" Jesus asked.
>
>Satan replied, "Oh, I'm gonna have fun! I'm gonna teach them how to marry
>and divorce each other, how to hate and abuse each other, how to drink and
>smoke and curse. I'm gonna teach them how to invent guns and bombs and kill
>each other. I'm really gonna have fun!"
>
>"And what will you do when you get done with them?" Jesus asked.
>
>"Oh, I'll kill 'em," Satan glared proudly.
>
>"How much do you want for them?" Jesus asked.
>
>"Oh, you don't want those people. They ain't no good. Why, you'll take them
>and they'll just hate you. They'll spit on you, curse you and kill you!! You
>don't want those people!!"
>
>"How much?" He asked again.
>
>Satan looked at Jesus and sneered, "All your tears, and all your blood."
>
>Jesus said, "DONE!" Then He paid the price.
>
>Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why
>the world's going to hell.
>
>Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the
>Bible says.
>
>Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have
>to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is it scary?
>
>Isn't it funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan
>(who, by the way, also "believes" in God ).
>
>Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and! they
>spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord
> people think twice about sharing.
>
>Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through
>cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school
>and workplace.
>
>Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be
>an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
>
>Are you laughing?
>
>Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it
>to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or
>what they will think of you for sending it to them.
>
>Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me
>than what God thinks of me.
>
>Will YOU pass this on? . I did
