It turned out to be a 1061-carat sapphire. Lawrence and his parents say they\u2019ve been told it could be worth more than $35,000. <\/p>\n

Farmer\u2019s Market <\/b><\/p>\n
A farmer went each week to the Farmers\u2019 Market to sell, among other things, the cottage cheese and apple butter made on his farm. He carried these in two large tubs, from which he ladled the cottage cheese or apple butter into smaller containers the customers brought. One day he got to market and discovered he\u2019s forgotten one ladle. He felt he had no choice but to use the one he had for both products. Before long he couldn\u2019t tell which was which. That\u2019s the way it is when we try to dispense the good news of Christ using hearts, minds, and tongues too recently immersed in the coarseness and one-up-manship of the world. Nobody gets any nourishment. – Beth Landers<\/p>\n
