This will explain the later dates of the publications on the blog.

September 2005 Publication

Hello friends.  Have a smile with us at some excerpts from "Wisdom from Grandpa".


  • Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt, that he forgets his sugar.
  • Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
  • When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
  • If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.
  • On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past -- but never the present.
  • The bonds of matrimony are a good investment, only when the interest is kept up.
  • Many girls like to marry a military man or a policeman -- he can cook, sew, and he's already used to taking orders.
  • The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.
  • Some people try to turn back their odometers.  Not me, I want people to know why i look this way.  I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
  • How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
  • When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to your youth... Remember about Algebra.
  • You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up, or leaks.
  • I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.
  • Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bold, they don't recognize you.
  • If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.
Here at NSCF we not only believe in the sanctity and permanence of marriage, but also in growing older gracefully and graciously, with God's help.

Come grow older together with us.
Pastor John Giesbrecht
