Re: [JOYnet] My Redeemer Laughs!! My Redeemer Laughs!!
Hi Joynetters, I totally agree with JJ and welchy,our god is a god of happiness. St francis of sales ( Don Bosco was inspired by his life to start the salesians) used to say :" A Sad Saint is a sorry Saint." he also once said."u can attract more flies with a spoonful of honey than a barrelful of vinegar". Don Bosco said "Run, Jump,play,laugh,sing ,shout but dont sin.." One of the funny things i encountered while reading the bible was this..(I hope no one is offended). Why is davids wifes name bathseba...? becuase he saw her while she was having bath.

I don't know a Jesus who's crabby and a dull witted. If Jesus was that kind, you can be sure he won't get me. he can forget having someone like jj to follow him. I've heard from the mouths of my father and Jos Mathew, Chicago "always develop a sense of humor! Don't look as though u've been baptized in vinegar and confirmed in sulphuric!" I love to hang around with people who have a fine tuned sense of humour. It improves my face value! The people who have made the biggest impact on my life were mainly people who have a fine tuned sense of humour along with integrity. I've got a gr8 friend of mine whos a priest, a holy priest. Sometimes I wonder if his middle name is spelt as H-U-M-O-R! He's got a great sense of it! For any sentence he can put a chuckle on the face of his hearers. I remember once I met him after he had a minor accident- he fell from a height and dislocated his ankle. I entered his room and he was there with a cast on his leg. I proffered my hand saying " I'm sorry father it seems u had a bad fall!" and he retorted in mock disbelief "oh no, don't get me wrong, I had a wonderful fall. only the landing was poor!!" Another time he had to board a train but due to the traffic jam we arrived at the railway station as the train started picking speed. We frantically tried to jump into the last compartment but unfortunately missed. He was a bit annoyed and he muttered. "these trains should never have last compartments, and even if they do have it should be somewhere in the middle!" After I came to the lord, one of the gifts he's given me is the gift of Laughter. I've learnt to laugh at myself. I'm a very impetuous person by nature. And a bit short tempered too. But when I look back at the follies I' ve made. I just sit back and laugh. Even when I remember some incidents where I was apparently hurt, laughter comes to my heart. Folks at home and other places have all taken me to be a bafoon. I've always been the butt of jokes for people around. Once I was so hurt becoz of the way people used to pull my leg. I went to my mom & dad and said "people are poking fun at me so much I'm feeling hurt!" and they told me with their parental wisdom" if you can't beat them, join them!, have fun, laugh with them too!" My parents may have been failures in other areas, but in this area they've been a thumping success!. All the half dozen of us kids have learnt how to laugh at ourselves. I've got so used to making a fool of myself and laughing at my follies that it just doesn't matter these days. There's this chorus many of you may know "Our God is an awsome God.."

It is my humble opinion that people who don't have a sense of humour will have time in life only for inner healing retreats and nothing else!. I feel very sorry for such poor souls.

[JOYnet] Good News
Dear friends, This is too late to inform you that my wife Rino is pregnant. Of course so many personal mails to joy netters I shared this joy and requested their prayers. By the grace of God first trimester went on very well. I would like to share the love of God through the priests upon us. Last year October we had gone for vacation to Kerala. That time we started our prayers for the parenthood. One day we visited our parish priest Fr.Sebastian Thottunkal . He is a prayerful, loving Father. We had nice time with him. We shared the life in Bahrain and especially we asked his prayers for our preparation. Both of us kneeled before him and he prayed for us. He gave us a book KUDUMBAVILI , a beautiful book about family life and you know the author is our dear parish priest Fr. S.Thottunakal( Sebastian Thottunkal) After vacation we meet our spiritual father Fr. Antony over here and invited him for the house blessing. He also prayed for us. In January our dearest joy net father came to Bahrain for the retreat. On the fourth day of retreat (31-01-2002) in Malayalam I had the opportunity to spend some time with him personally. It was really a blessed half an hour with him and in between I told him today is my Wedding Anniversary. He congratulated us. Moreover, during the retreat he invited the married celebrants of January and prayed for us. It was a great joy, honor and blessing for us. After the retreat everybody congratulated us. Rino looks like a wedding girl and about me . .Thank you Thomas Achan!! Thank you Jesus ! Praise The Lord Dear friends the next day we confirmed our good news Please keep us in your prayers Prayers & love Jose Kuriakose-- Bahrain This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.

[JOYnet] Not too Exiting - Not too Dissappointing
The result of an expiriment. Not too Exiting - Not too Dissappointing There was a special gatherings of the B.SC nursing students of the Medical collage, School of Medical Educations at Kottayam and puthuppally, in which about 50 girl prayer group members came. It was aspecial effort to introduce them to the activities and ministry building efforts of the Nursus ministry. Genarrally the gathering went well. Main leaders of the ministry including co- ordinator Sheema M Jose, Leena(staff nurse), Aji Eapen etc..were present . Resource persons for the day included Joemon vargese (kyct)Mr.Joby cyriac, (Lecturer Marian College) P.U. Thomas (Tomas chettan from navajeevan) Ms.Celinamma (tutor at SME)and Chackochan Njavallil. Mr. Sebastian (Kottayam) lead the music sessions. As these girls were not at all familiar with the ministry functioning outside their prayer grups, it was not easy to communicate with them about the diffrent needs in thefunctioning of the ministry. At the end of the day the girls promised that they are ready to do thier best for building up the ministry, Ms. Aji Eapen, one of the central team members will be meeting with all the 50 participant individually, within two weeks for clarifing thier doubts etc.. Hope and pray that such an effort will bring out more people and build up the leadership in the ministry.

[JOYnet] Many MBA's and proffessionals in JY Leadership
Many MBA's and proffessionalsin JY Leadership At least two JY ministers in Kerala has got proffessionals in their leadership as co ordinators.. It maybe that god is alowing Jesus youth to be relevent to this generation and next by bringing people from all the diffrent fields. Can any other youth organization in India think of this kind of people in their leadership?. It is through those who were active in the proffessionals ministry that JY is spreding to other countries (including nurses ministry ). So if we want to spread to more countreis, the area which we have to give more attention in Kerala is the proffessionals ministry. Now as more proffessional educational institutions are starting in Kerala, if we work out properly, we could reap much more benefits in future.

[JOYnet] Whats your Lord Like ???
Once when I attended this retreat ,we were shown different pics of Jesus & we were asked to choose the one we imagined HIM to be . As soon as the pics were displayed .My eyes fell on the Laughing Jesus & I Picked it immediately . Ohh yes !!!I firmly believe in HA HA Jesus I remember watching the movie ... MARY MOTHER OF JESUS One of my favorite shot in the movie was the wedding of cana They showed Jesus dancing with his mother & his friends .He enjoyed his life to the fullest inspite of the fact that he was aware of the hurdles & pain full experiences he would go thru at calvary .HE seemed to be so cheerful not only with Friends & also with those who are not his own . Doesnt that face of OUR JESUS really enliven us ?? Well every time I look at this facial expression of Jesus , this elevates me thru all my pains. I realize that a cribbing & sorrowful face really doesn't work .It not only frets me but others too The cracking Truth of Christanity is being cheerful thru Pains & Gains . To be smiling when one is tempted to frown . With Love in the HAHA Jesus Welchy (Mumbai ) Dont share the PICTURE of your Jesus This mail is generated from JOYnet, a Jesus Youth mailing list.
