Three Hymns The Sunday before Christmas, a pastor told his congregation that the church needed some extra money. He asked the people to consider donating a little more than usual into the offering plate. He said that whoever gave the most would be able to pick out three hymns. After the offering plates were passed, the pastor glanced down and noticed that someone had placed a $1,000 bill in offering. He was so excited that he immediately shared his joy with his congregation and said he'd like to personally thank the person who placed the money in the plate.
A very quiet, elderly, saintly looking lady all the way in the back shyly raised her hand. The pastor asked her to come to the front.
Slowly she made her way to the pastor. He told her how wonderful it was that she gave so much and in thanks asked her to pick out three hymns.
Her eyes brightened as she looked over the congregation, pointed to the three most handsome men in the building and said, "I'll take him and him and him."
3 men are stranded in the middle of the Canadian Forest and they don't know where they are at. They decide that they have to find some food. So the first man leaves and tells the other 2 that he is going to get some food.
Several Hours later, he comes back with a deer over his shoulder. The other 2 are amazed and ask him how he got a deer with no weopans. He replies, " I find tracks, i follow tracks, i get deer". They both are slightly confused but let it go.
1 week later, they have eaten the deer, so they need to get more food. The second guy leaves and says that he is going to get food. He comes back a couple hours later with a elk over his shoulder. The other 2 ask how he got the elk. He simply replies, "I find tracks, i follow tracks, i get Elk".
5 days later, they have eaten the elk, so they need more food. The third guy, feeling very cocky, thinks to himslef, " This is going to be a piece of cake. The other guys got the other animals so easy. I'm going to get an animal better than their's put together!". So he leaves to get some food. They wait a couple hours... he doesn't come back. They wait another couple hours, he is still missing.
Finally, after 9 hours of waiting, they see him coming back. His clothes are torn rags, he is covered in dirt with scrapes and bruises all over his body. He is bleeding from different gashes in his arms and legs along with one on the side of head. They ask, " What happened!". He looks at them, wide-eyed and confused, and replies, " I find tracks, I follow tracks, i get hit my train".
Thank you my dear husband. I never had the chance to meet Essie but it would have been my honor for me if I had. In memory of her I will gladly help build her group and keep it going.

I have been a member of this group since my dear friend Essie created it and have been a co host on it since the beginning..Essie was a wonderful person and a great friend and I miss her kind words..Many of the comments and testimonials on my profile were written by Essie..
This group was Essie's pride and joy and she dearly loved the group members..Everyone who knew Essie loved her and she never had an issue with anyone..Having said all that, I intend to revitalize this group and once again make it the group Essie wanted it to be..We have not had much member participation in the last few months..I became sick and was bedridden for almost two years but now thanks to my new wife Walelu I am now almost fully recovered..I have asked Walelu to help me add new life to this group and she has agreed to help me..
For all you members who have stuck by us I thank you very much and for members who have joined us I say we are going to rejuvenate this group and make it a great place to come to each day to obtain a good vibration..
