Things That Make You Think
Things That Make You Feel Old!!!
Children That Were Born In 1982:
They have no meaningful recollection of the Reagan Era
And probably did not know he had ever been shot
They were prepubescent when the Persian Gulf War was waged
Black Monday 1987 is as significant to them as the Great Depression
There has been only one Pope
They were 11 when the Soviet Union broke apart
And do not remember the Cold War
They have never feared a nuclear war
They are too young to remember the space shuttle blowing up
Tianamen Square means nothing to them
Their lifetime has always included AIDS
Bottle caps have always been screw off and plastic
Atari predates them, as do vinyl record albums
The expression you sound like a broken record means nothing to them
They have never owned a record player
They have likely never played Pac Man and have never heard of Pong
They may have never heard of an 8 track
The Compact Disc was introduced when they were 1 year old
As far as they know, stamps have always cost about 33 cents
They have always had an answering machine
Most have never seen a TV set with only 13 channels
Nor have they seen a black-and-white TV
They have always had cable
There have always been VCRs, but they have no idea what BETA is
They cannot fathom not having a remote control
They were born the year that Walkman's were introduced by Sony
Roller-skating has always meant in line to them
Jay Leno has always been the host of the Tonight Show
They have no idea when or why Jordache jeans were cool
Popcorn has always been cooked in the microwave
They have never seen Larry Bird play basketball
They never took a swim and thought about Jaws
The Vietnam War is ancient history to them
As is WWI, WWII and the Civil War
They have no idea that Americans were ever held hostage in Iran
They can't imagine what hard contact lenses are
They don't know who Mork was or where he was from
They've never heard
Where's the beef? I'd walk a mile for a Camel, or DE plane, DE plane
They do not care who shot J.R. Ewing and have no idea who J.R. Ewing is
The Titanic was found? They thought we always knew where it was
Michael Jackson has always been white
Kansas, Chicago, Boston, America, and Alabama are places, not music groups
McDonalds never came in Styrofoam containers
There has always been MTV
They don't have a clue how to use a typewriter

Feel Good Things
Falling in love
Laughing so hard your face hurts
A hot shower
No lines at the Super Wal-Mart
A special glance
Getting mail
Getting e-mail
Taking a drive on a pretty road
Hearing your favorite song on the radio
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside
Hot towels out of the dryer
Finding the sweater you want is on sale for half price
Chocolate milkshake or vanilla!
A long distance phone call
A bubble bath
Giggling
A good conversation
The beach
Finding a $20 bill in your coat from last winter
Laughing at yourself
Midnight phone calls that last for hours
Running through sprinklers
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all
Having someone tell you that you're beautiful
Laughing at an inside joke
Friends
Accidentally overhearing someone say something nice about you
Waking up and realizing you still have a few hours left to sleep
Your first kiss
Making new friends or spending time with old ones
Playing with a new puppy
Having someone play with your hair
Sweet dreams
Hot chocolate
Road trips with friends
Swinging on swings
Wrapping presents under the Christmas tree
Eating cookies and drinking eggnog
Song lyrics printed inside your new CD
So that you can sing along without feeling stupid
Going to a really good concert
Making eye contact with a cute stranger
Winning a really competitive game
Making chocolate chip cookies
Having your friends send you homemade cookies
Spending time with close friends
Seeing smiles and hearing laughter from your friends
Holding hands with someone you care about
Running into an old friend and realizing that some things
Good or bad, never change
Riding the best roller coasters over and over
Watching the expression on someone's face
As they open a much desired present from you
Watching the sunrise.
Getting out of bed every morning and thanking God for another beautiful day

Hands
A basketball in my hands is worth about $19
A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million
It depends whose hands it's in
A baseball in my hands is worth about $6
A baseball in Mark Mcguire's hands is worth $19 million
It depends whose hands it's in
A tennis racket is useless in my hands
A tennis racket in Venus Williams hands is a Wimbledon Championship
It depends whose hands it's in
A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal
A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea
It depends whose hands it's in
A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy
A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon
It depends whose hands it's in
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish
sandwiches
Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands
It depends whose hands it's in
Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse
Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation for the entire
world
It depends whose hands it's in
As You See Now
It Depends On Whose Hands It's In
So Put Your Concerns
Your Worries
Your Fears
Your Hopes
Your Dreams
Your Families
And Your Relationships In God's Hands
Because You See
It Depends On Whose Hands It's In

I asked the Lord to bless you
As I prayed for you today
To guide you and protect you
As you go along your way
His love is always with you
His promises are true
And when we give Him all our cares
You know He will see us through
So when the road you're traveling on
Seems difficult at best
Just remember I'm here praying
And God will do the rest
