"I went to the Holy Land, to Mecca and to Rome.
I visited many churches, temples and mosques.
I climbed the tallest mountain.
I looked in the books of an old Eastern religion, to no avail.
I opened my heart and that is where he was.

One simple poet can make much more meaning than ten million words!

It's the process that matters!

A Jewish man sends his son to Israel to live there for a while. Eventually he returns home and he is now a Christian. The man finds this to be odd and mentions it to his friend.

The friend listens, thinks for a moment and says, "That's odd. I sent my son to Israel as a Jew and he returned as a Christian." So the two of them went to see the Rabbi.

They told the Rabbi the story of how they had both sent their sons to Israel as Jews, and how both sons had returned as Christians. The Rabbi listened, thought for a minute and then said "That's odd. I also sent my son to Israel as a Jew and he returned as a Christian."

So the three of them decide to go to Israel to find out what's going on over there. The arrive and go straight to the Western Wall to pray. They explain to God all about how they sent their sons to Israel as Jews and how the all returned as Christians."

There is a long silence, and then God begins to speak saying, "That's odd . . . "

An old man has been standing in line at the pearly gates for so long, when he gets to the front, he can't remember his name for St. Peter to look up in the Big Book.

Peter doesn't know what to do, so he gets Jesus to help him figure it out.

Jesus says "Tell us about your life, maybe that will jog your memory."

The old man says "Well, I only had one child, a son."

Jesus smiles and says "Heh, I was an only child too. Go on."

The man says "He was a... some kind of wood-worker or carpenter... something like that."

Jesus is like "Huh, that's another coincidence. Anything else you can remember?"

The man shakes his head a bit and says "You may not believe this, but my son - he was brought to life through a miracle!"

Jesus' jaw drops, he smiles, and tears comes to his eyes, "Father??"
