    JM>    There are other places re-purposed around town.   
      
     Former railroad stations around here have been repurposed for other things...   
   and they may or may not still have tracks by them (especially if the line was   
   abandoned, like the former Rock Island (hard to believe it has been 41 years   
   since it went bankrupt). I've noted the cities, and what railroads they were   
   under at the time.   
      
     Hot Springs (Missouri Pacific) -- The Sawmill Depot (restaurant)   
     Little Rock (Rock Island) -- Clinton Library School Of Public Service   
     Hazen (Rock Island) -- Attorney's Office   
     Lonoke (Rock Island) -- Chamber Of Commerce   
        
     Several others have been converted to museums or other businesses. Some have   
   even been transported to, and converted to residences.   
      
     For pictures of several of these depots in Arkansas (some are long gone), go

    JM>   Are you bothered by impure thoughts my son, a priest asked a   
    JM> teen-aged boy in his congregation.  Oh no, Father, the boy replied, I   
    JM> rather enjoy them.   
      
     How bad did the preacher blush??    
      
     Besides the church bulletin bloopers, I love the ones with the children's   
   sermons. In the examples below, P is for Preacher, C is for Child.   
      
   1) P: What must we do to obtain forgiveness of sin??   
      C: First, we have to sin.   
      
   2) P: Do you ask the blessing before you eat??   
      C: We don't have to...our Mom is such a good cook!!   
      
   3) P: Does anyone know what a resurrection is??   
      C: If you have one for more than 4 hours, you have call an ambulance!!   
      
     A preacher was doing a sermon on "the fruits of the Spirit", and he    
   wanted to highlight the points of "gentleness and meekness". The scenario    
   he painted was a brutal, cold, raw winter day...with heavy snow, strong    
   winds, below zero wind chills, and your face is red and chapped. He had    
   a toy tractor with the rough, grated tires, and a soft medicated Kleenex    
   tissue...and asked what you wanted to soothe the stinging of your chapped    
   skin.    
      
     He holds up the Kleenex, and asked if anyone knew what it was. One   
   child yelled out "TOILET PAPER!!". It brought the house down in raucous   
   laughter!!    
      
     A child told her grandmother that she must be like God. When asked why,   
   the child replied "You're both old".    
      
     On each of these, The Good Lord had to be smiling.
