Afterthey got their tent all set up, both men fell sound asleep.Some hours later, Tonto wakes the Lone Ranger and says,’Kemo Sabe, look towards sky, what you see?’‘The Lone Range replies, ’I see millions of stars.’‘What that tell you?’ asked Tonto.The Lone Ranger ponders for a minute then says,’Astronomically speaking, it tells me there are millions of galaxiesand potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tellsme that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximatelya quarter past three in the morning. Theologically, theLord is all-powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically,it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow.What does it tell you, Tonto?’‘You dumber than buffalo. It means someone stole the tent.’Thanks, Jan Klie, for sending this in.STEWARDSHIP CORNERGiving of our time involves being with God in prayer and worshipand volunteering our time in the church and communityactivities that help others.COMING SOONON-LINE GIVINGMORE INFORMATION IN THE NEAR FUTUREMARQUETTE HIGH SCHOOL ACTIVITIESMega Raffle Tickets on sale Now.
