WAT VAN DANKIE. (Marijke Edwards) Ek het eendag, nie so lank gelede nie, 'n e-pos gekry van 'n seuntjie wat vertel van die droom wat hy gehad het. In sy droom was die hemel half soos 'n "filing" sisteem. Daar was baie engele wat moes werk aan al die gebedjies wat inkom en daar was 'n engel wat doodverveeld by sy tafel gesit het. Die seuntjie het hom gevra: ’Hoekom werk jy nie?’ Ag, toe sug die engel en sê sy werk is om seker te maak dat al die dankies wat inkom reg "gefile" word, maar hy is nie besig nie, want daar is nie so baie wat inkom nie. Dit is toe net daar wat ek besef dat dit so waar is. Ons is baie vinnig om te vra, maar vergeet soms om dankie te sê na die tyd. Om die Here se naam te prys en dankie te sê is mos net so belangrik. So van nou af as jy vir iets vra en die Here seën jou daarmee, moenie vergeet om dankie te sê na die tyd nie. Loof en prys Sy naam. Here, vandag wil ek vir niks vra nie, net dankie sê. Dankie vir nog 'n dag in my lewe. Ek weet dat dit beteken U het nog 'n doel met my lewe en dat ek nog 'n dag moet werk om U naam groot te maak en 'n liggie vir U te wees. Dankie dat ek iets het om te eet, warm kan slaap en dankie Here vir al my seëninge wat ek ontvang het. Dankie! Geneem uit Danie van www.egafrikaans.co.za se nuusbrief. www.eposvriende.com Posted by
An office desk has 400 times more bacteria than a toilet. A Toilet Seat For Two? When someone goes on a health kick and starts talking about germs, and stopping the spread of things like colds, the first item they focus on is the doorknob. At home, in public, or at work, it is the single most common surface that multiple people would touch, thus increasing the chances of bacteria being left behind. But surprisingly, it's not the most bacteria-infested surface you face all day. That would be your office desk. A research project at the University of Arizona, carried out in 2002, discovered that you would face less bacteria eating off a toilet seat, than you would on your desk or personal workspace, where the level is up to 400 times greater. The study, which tested telephones, desks, water coolers, doorknobs, and toilet seats, compiled 7,000 samples from major centers across the country. What they found, was that while phones ranked highest in bacteria levels, the office desk was a close second. Food or spilled liquids and decomposable solids that don't get cleaned off, provide the ideal start for a colony of bacteria. Add to that, items that have been in contact with bacteria elsewhere, that are set on the desk, or even unwashed hands touching the surface, and the count soars, sometimes doubling during the course of a work day. To confirm their findings, researchers divided workers into two groups: one that wiped down their phones and office spaces each day with a disinfectant, and one that didn't. Within two days, those with the cleaning habit saw bacteria levels drop to almost nil. http://www.eposvriende.com To join for News that is Funny, Interesting or Weird, send an e-mail to: news-funny-weird-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Or Visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/news-funny-weird Om aan te sluit vir Nuus wat Laf, Interessant of Weird is, stuur ‘n e-pos aan: snaaks-subscribe@yahoogroups.com Of besoek: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/snaaks Posted by
En jy het gedink jy weet ALLES van die liefde...? Laat kinders jou leer!
UIT DIE OOG EN HART VAN 'N KIND WAT IS DIE BESTE OUDERDOM OM OP TE TROU? Vier-en-tagtig, want dan hoef 'n mens nie meer te werk nie, en kan julle die hele dag lank vir mekaar lief wees in die slaapkamer. (Judy 8). WANNEER IS DIT REG OM IEMAND TE SOEN? 'n Mens moet nooit 'n meisie soen, tensy jy genoeg geld het om vir haar 'n groot ring en 'n videomasjien te koop nie. Meisies wil altyd video's van die troue hê. (Jim 10) DIE GROOT DEBAT: IS DIT BETER OM ENKEL TE WEES, OF GETROUD? Dit is beter vir meisies om enkel te wees,maar nie vir seuns nie. Seuns het iemand nodig om agter hulle skoon te maak. (Lynette 9) Dit gee my 'n kopseer om net aan sulke dinge te dink. Ek is net 'n kind, ek het nie sulke moeilikheid nodig nie. (Kenny 7) WAAROM RAAK TWEE MENSE LIEF VIR MEKAAR? Niemand is seker waarom dit gebeur nie, maar ek het gehoor dit het iets met hoe jy ruik te doen het. Dit is waarom parfuum en deodorant so gewild is. (Jan 9 ) Ek dink jy is veronderstel om met 'n pyl geskiet te word, maar die res daarvan is nie veronderstel om so seer te wees nie. (Harlan 9) HOE VOEL DIT OM VERLIEF TE RAAK? Soos 'n sneeustorting, waar jy moet hardloop vir jou lewe. (Roger 9) As dit enigsins is soos om te leer hoe om te spel, wil ek dit nie doen nie. Dit vat heeltemal te lank. (Leo 7) OPINIES OOR DIE LIEFDE? Ek is ten gunste van die liefde, solank dit net nie gebeur terwyl "The Simpsons" op televisie is nie. (Anita 6) Liefde sal jou kry, al probeer jy ook daarvoor wegkruip. Ek probeer al daarvoor wegkruip vandat ek vyf is, maar die meisies bly my kry. (Bobby 8) Ek is nie haastig om verlief te raak nie. Graad vier is moeilik genoeg. ( Regina 10) WATTER PERSOONLIKE KWALITEITE IS NODIG OM 'N GOEIE MINNAAR TE WEES? Een van julle moet weet hoe om 'n tjek uit te skryf. Want al het julle tonne liefde, gaan daar nog steeds hope rekeninge wees. (Ava 8) MANIERE OM IEMAND OP JOU TE LAAT VERLIEF RAAK? Vertel hom dat jy 'n hele klomp lekkergoedwinkels besit. ( Del 6) HOE WEET JY TWEE MENSE WAT UITEET, IS VERLIEF? Kyk of die man die rekening betaal. Dan weet jy hy is verlief. (John 9) Dit is beslis liefde as hulle een van daardie poedings wat aan die brand is, bestel. Hulle bestel graag sulke dinge, want dit is hoe hulle harte voel, aan die brand. (Chistine 9) HOE MAAK JY SEKER DAT DIE LIEFDE SAL HOU? Bestee die meeste van jou tyd aan jou liefie,in plaas daarvan om werk toe te gaan. (Tom 7) Moenie haar naam vergeet nie.............. Dit sal die liefdestorie heeltemal opmors. (Roger 8) HOEKOM HOU MENSE WAT LIEF IS VIR MEKAAR, HANDE VAS? Hulle wil seker maak hulle ringe val nie af nie, want hulle het baie daarvoor betaal.

DO YOU KNOW HOW THE APOSTLES DIED? 1 Matthew Suffered martyrdom in Ethiopia , killed by a sword wound 2 Mark Died in Alexandria , Egypt , after being dragged by horses through the streets until he was dead . 3 Luke Was hanged in Greece as a result of his tremendous preaching to the lost. 4 John Faced martyrdom when he was boiled in huge basin of boiling oil during a wave of persecution in Rome . However, he was miraculously delivered from death. John was then sentenced to the mines on the prison island of Patmos . He wrote his prophetic Book of Revelation on Patmos . The apostle John was later freed and returned to serve as Bishop of Edessa in modern Turkey . He died as an old man, the only apostle to die peacefully. 5 Peter He was crucified upside down on an x-shaped cross. According to church tradition it was because he told his tormentors that he felt unworthy to die in the same way that Jesus Christ had died. 6 James Just The leader of the church in Jerusalem, was thrown over a hundred feet down from the southeast pinnacle of the Temple when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When they discovered that he survived the fall, his enemies beat James to death with a fuller's club. * This was the same pinnacle where Satan had taken Jesus during the Temptation. 7 James the Great Son of Zebedee, was a fisherman by trade when Jesus called him to a lifetime of ministry. As a strong leader of the church, James was ultimately beheaded at Jerusalem . The Roman officer who guarded James watched amazed as James defended his faith at his trial. Later, the officer walked beside James to the place of execution. Overcome by conviction, he declared his new faith to the judge and knelt beside James to accept beheading as a Christian 8 Bartholomew Also known as Nathaniel Was a missionary to Asia . He witnessed for our Lord in present day Turkey . Bartholomew was martyred for his preaching in Armenia where he was flayed to death by a whip. 9 Andrew Was crucified on an x-shaped cross in Patras , Greece .. After being whipped severely by seven soldiers they tied his body to the cross with cords to prolong his agony. His followers reported that, when he was led toward the cross, Andrew saluted it in these words: 'I have long desired and expected this happy hour. The cross has been consecrated by the body of Christ hanging on it.' He continued to preach to his tormentors for two days until he expired. 10 Thomas Was stabbed with a spear in India during one of his missionary trips to establish the church in the sub-continent 11 Jude Was killed with arrows when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. 12 Matthias The apostle chosen to replace the traitor Judas Iscariot, was stoned and then beheaded. 13 Paul Was tortured and then beheaded by the evil Emperor Nero at Rome in A.D. 67. Paul endured a lengthy imprisonment, which allowed him to write his many epistles to the churches he had formed throughout the Roman Empire . These letters, which taught many of the foundational doctrines of Christianity, form a large portion of the New Testament. Perhaps this is a reminder to us that our sufferings here are indeed minor compared to the intense persecution and cold cruelty faced by the apostles disciples during their times for the sake of the Faith. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: But he that endureth to the end shall be saved. Matthew 10:22 www.eposvriende.com Posted by
Wiskunde in die Woestyn Een van die grootste wiskundige wonderwerke sentreer rondom Moses en die Israeliete. In die woestyn moes die Israeliete kos kry en hoe voed jy 3.5 miljoen mense? Volgens die Kwartiermeester-Generaal van die weermag het Moses omtrent 1500 ton kos daagliks nodig gehad. 'n 6km lange goederetrein sou nodig wees om die kos te vervoer. Die kos moes gaargemaak word met houtvure en jy moet onthou, hulle was in die woestyn. 4000 Ton hout sou nodig wees per dag en weer 'n paar goedere treine, elk amper 2 km lank, om die hout te vervoer. Om te dink, hulle het 40 jaar in die woestyn getrek. Wat van water? Net genoeg vir drink en 'n bietjie opwas, sou hulle 50 miljoen liter elke dag nodig gehad het, en 'n goederetrein met tenkwaens, omtrent 19km lank, sou nodig wees om water te bring. Daar was net 'n paar putte in die woestyn. Hoe het hulle genoeg water gekry? Nog 'n ding! Hulle moes oor die rooi see in een nag! As hulle met 'n nou paadjie, twee-twee, sou loop, sou die lyn 1280km lank wees en sou dit 35 dae en nagte neem om deur te gaan. So daar moes 'n pad deur die rooi see gewees het van amper 5 km breed sodat 5000 mense langs mekaar kon loop om in een nag deur te loop. Nog 'n probleem, elke nag moes gekamp word. 'n Kampterrein van 1200 vk km was nodig, dit is 40 kilometer breed en 48 kilometer lank. Dink jy Moses het dit alles haarfyn uitgewerk voor die trek? Nee, hy was net 'n gewone man met 'n onwrikbare geloof in God. God sou sorg vir alles. Kom, skep moed, ons het dieselfde God! Ons dink ons probleme is so groot. Onthou wat God kan doen! Sluit aan by God se span en plaas jou probleme in sy Hande. Laat Hy jou lewe beheer en Hy sal vir jou sorg. Vertrou God en sy Seun Jesus Christus. Die uiteinde van sonde is die dood, maar die geskenk van God is die ewige lewe. Jesus is 'n geskenk en Hy moet ingenooi word in jou lewe as Here, as jy die seëninge van ons Groot God in jou lewe wil ervaar.

Dis net wanneer kappertjies gekneus word, dat ons hulle heerlike geur kry".
Its all started when I received a call from someone claiming that he was from Maxis and he asked me to shutdown my phone for 2 hours for 3g update to take place. As I was rushing for a meeting, I did not question and shutdown my cell phone. After 45 minutes I felt very suspicious since the caller did not even introduce his name. I quickly turned on my cell phone and I received several calls from my family members and the others were from the number that had called me earlier - 3954380. I called my parents and I was shocked that they sounded very worried asking me whether I am safe. My parents told me that they had received a call from someone claiming that they had me with them and asking for money to let me free. The call was so real and my parents even heard 'my voice' crying out loud asking for help. My parent was at the bank waiting for next call to proceed for money transfer. I told my parents that I am safe and asked them to lodge a police report.. Right after that I received another call from the guy asking me to shutdown my cell phone for another 1 hour which I refused to do and hung up. They keep calling my cell phone until the battery had run down. I myself lodged a police report and I was informed by the officer that there were many such scams reported. MOST of the cases reported that the victim had already transferred the money! And it is impossible to get back the money. Be careful as this kind of scam might happened to any of us!!! Those guys are so professional and very convincing during calls. If you are asked to shut down your cell phone for updates by the service provider, ASK AROUND! Your family or friends might receive the same call. Be Safe and Stay Alert!

HOE OM POSITIEF TE BLY!! 1. Probeer alles tweekeer: 'n Grafskrif het gelui: "Tried everything twice...both times were moerse nice!" 2. Behou jou grapgat vrinne Die suurgatte trek jou onder. (Sorg dat JY nie daai suurgat is nie!) 3. Hou aan leer.. Leer meer oor skete, etiket, enigiets. Moenie toelaat dat jou brein muf nie! 4. Geniet die eenvoudige dinge. 5. Lag dikwels, lag lank en lekker. Lag tot jou blaas lek! En as jy 'n pel het wat lekker nonsens praat, spandeer meer tyd saam met haar/hom. 6. Trane kom. Tjank dat die snot spat, en beweeg dan aan. Die enigste mens wat ALTYD regdeur jou lewe by jou is, is jyself. LEWE terwyl jy nog lewe het. 7. Omring jouself met dit waaroor jy mal is, Of dit nou pelle, familie, diere, sentimentele junk, musiek,plante, of kitch is. Jou huis is JOU plek! 8. Bewaar jou gesondheid: As jy OK is, moenie nonsens aanjaag nie, As jou kop raas, sluit by 'n 'support group' aan, As jy nie lekker is nie, kry hulp. 9. Moenie op loop gaan met skuldgevoelens nie.. As daar te lope is, doen dit in die winkels, in jou tuin, in die bosveld, langs die see of selfs in vreemde lande. 10. Sê vir jou mense dat jy vir hulle lief is, gee drukkies op strepe .... more trek jy dalk jou hout-jas aan, dan's dit te laat!
