Email forwards...
...do you cringe when you open your inbox and it is full of forwards? If only one person you know is sending forwards, it probably is okay. But when you have a host of friends sending forwards and regularly sending lots of them, it becomes an annoyance. I don't read them.
There, I said it. It is not a secret anymore.
Today my pastor forwarded a little jewel. But rather than forward it to the hundred or so email addresses in my address book, you will find it posted here. You can thank me when you leave a comment here in a minute. Please read on...

Subject: Is Your Hut On Fire?
The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for GOD to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect himself from the elements, and to store his few possessions.
One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger. "GOD, how could you do this to me?" he cried!
Early the next day he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here? "Asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied.
It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because GOD is at work in our lives, even in the midst of pain and suffering.
Remember that, the next time your little hut seems to be burning to the ground, it just may be a smoke signal that summons the grace of GOD.
You May Want To Consider Passing This On, because You Never Know Who Feels Like Their Hut Is On Fire Today!
