She asked me, "Where were you last night, baby?"
To which I replied "That's too long ago I don't remember."

And then she asked, "Well, where are you gonna be later tonight?"
Then I told her "I don't make plans that far ahead".

There was once a guy who suffered from cancer... a cancer that can't be treated. He was 18 years old and he could die anytime. All his life, he was stuck in his house being taken cared by his mother. He never went outside but he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out for once. So he asked his mother and she gave him permission.

He walked down his block and found a lot of stores. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second as he walked. He stopped and went back to look into the store. He saw a young girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight.

He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

She looked up and asked, "Can I help you?" She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he has ever seen before and wanted to kiss her right there.

He said, "Uh... Yeah... Umm... I would like to buy a CD."

He picked one out and gave her money for it. "Would you like me to wrap it for you?" she asked, smiling her cute smile again. He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the wrapped CD and gave it to him.

He took it and walked out of the store. He went home and from then on, he went to that store everyday and bought a CD, and she wrapped it for him. He took the CD home and put it in his closet.

He was still too shy to ask her out and he really wanted to but he couldn't. His mother found out about this and told him to just ask her.

So the next day, he took all his courage and went to the store. He bought a CD like he did everyday and once again she went to the back of the store and came back with it wrapped. He took it and when she wasn't looking, he left his phone number on the desk and ran out...

!!!RRRRRING!!!

The mother picked up the phone and said, "Hello?"

It was the girl!!! She asked for the boy and the mother started to cry and said, "You don't know? He passed away yesterday..." The line was quiet except for the cries of the boy's mother.

Later in the day. The mother went into the boy's room because she wanted to remember him. She thought she would start by looking at his clothes. So she opened the closet.

She was face to face with piles and piles and piles of unopened CDs. She was surprised to find all those CDs and she picked one up and sat down on the bed and she started to open one.

Inside, there was a CD and as she took it out of the wrapper, out fell a piece of paper. The mother picked it up and started to read it.

It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jacelyn

The mother opened another CD... Again there was a piece of paper. It said: Hi... I think U R really cute. Do u wanna go out with me? Love, Jacelyn

Love is... when you've had a huge fight but then decide to put aside your egos, hold hands and say, "I Love You".

Hi,

You guys here must be writing for 50 billion years now.

This one above is another excellent story. This can be easily published --- much like the one Anniepetilla wrote earlier.

Sercor::jumzki,

Or if you two have a collection of stories running into a book lenght, I can find you guys just the publisher willing to accept them into an anthologized publication.

Well, that's taking "living in the present" to the extremes.
Maybe he has chronic amnesia or something? Hehehe...

Jake McLean had had a hard day at work, but he was finally able to sit down and relax. He turned on the TV and the first thing he saw was a minister. He was talking about how people can act like the perfect Christian as far as attitude goes, but how they still may have never accepted Jesus.

This made Jake think about his best friend Mike Johnson. Mike was the kind of person that would do anything in the world to help someone out, but Jake knew that Mike had never been saved. For the next week, the minister's words never left his mind.

He constantly thought about his friend not knowing Jesus. So at work one day, he decided to invite Mike and his wife to dinner. So he called Mike up and they talked for a few minutes; the whole time, Jake heard God saying "Tell him now", but Jake had decided he would just tell him at supper.

But Mike said, "Tonite's not a very good night, but if you want, you can come over here and Jennifer can fix supper." "Alright, that'll be great." responded Jake.

That night, Jake went over and ate supper and visited. He started thinking about how much easier it would be to talk to Mike on the phone. He could still hear God saying, "Tell him now", but what would Mike's reaction be?

Maybe the phone would be better. The next day, Jake decided to call, but he started thinking trying to make an excuse not to call. "Maybe in person is better. I mean, it's hard to really tell how someone feels while your on the phone. I'll just tell him at the restaurant when we go to eat tomorrow at lunch." So he sat the phone back down. He could still hear God saying, "Tell him now."

The next day at lunch, as he drove to the restaurant, he could hear God saying "Please Jake, don't let me down". When he walked into the restaurant, he noticed it was really crowded. He began to make an excuse again. "Maybe I should just wait and tell him some other time. It's not like he's sick or about to die."

For two days, God was constantly saying, "Tell him Jake". Finally Jake decided to pray. He prayed, "Father, if you really want me to witness to Mike, show me a sign."

About five minutes later, he heard a knock at the door. He went to answer it and to his surprise, it was Mike. Jake was freaked out to say the least. He wanted a sign, but something a little more simple. He could hear God saying, "Right now Jake", but he ignored Him. What would he say? He hadn't had a chance to prepare.

"It'll take Mike about 30 to 40 minutes to get home. I'll practice what I'm going to say and then I will call him and tell him." He even promised God.

So after Mike left, he started practicing what to say. After about an hour and a half, he decided to call. He started to reach for the phone, but right as he was about to pick it up, it rang.

"Hello?"

No one said anything, but he could hear somebody crying their eyes out.

"Hello? Who is this? What's wrong?"

The person at the other end finally managed to say, "This is Jennifer."

"Jennifer, what's wrong?" She cried and stuttered, "Mike was on the way home from your house when his car had a blowout. He rolled it four times, finally being stopped by a tree."

Jake interrupted, "Will he be alright?"

Then she started crying even harder and finally managed to say, "He...,He...didn't make it."

If you're saying that this will probably never happen, think again. I based this on a true story of a close family friend and his friend.

First, Jesus is nothing to be ashamed of. Sometimes people may persecute you for loving Him and taking a stand. But you shouldn't worry about what people think. What Jesus thinks is what really matters. Do you know someone that isn't a Christian? Has God called you to witness to them? If so, have you said no?

If you answered yes to the last three questions, I hope that you have decided to talk to this person. You may be the only person that ever shares the Message with them. Remember, you may not get a lot of chances. How many have you already wasted?

I wonder if Annie or Jhumski is interested or has PM'd you.

Anyway, Annie's story has sparked a lot of interest and now the reigns of director for her beautiful diary entry will now be given to a girl... the script will be adapted yet again and when it will be shown there will be original blues soundtrack for it.

Mangayu ta ko ug .wav na CD sa file only to find out it's not yet recorded yet... i guess that's how original it is.
