Think, Believe, Dream, and Dare. 2/27/2009
An eight-year-old boy approached an old man in front of
a wishing well, looked up into his eyes, and said: "I
understand you're a very wise man. I'd like to
know the secret of life." The old man looked down at the youngster and replied: "I've
thought a lot in my lifetime, and the secret can be summed
up in four words.

Secret Of True Greatness 2/26/2009
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord
require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk
humbly with your God?” Micah 6:8.
A literal translation reads, “Humble yourself to walk
with God.” What a strange suggestion that a human being
would be humbling himself to walk with Almighty God. Is
a man greater than his Maker? ...

To Each His Own 2/23/2009
I cannot change the way I am, I never really try, God made me different and unique, I never ask him why.
If I appear peculiar, There's nothing I can do, You must accept me as I am, As I've accepted you.
God made a casting of each life, Then threw the old away, Each is different from the rest, Unlike as night from day.
So often we will criticize, The things that others ...

I Need 2/23/2009
I need a strength to keep me true And straight in whatever I do.
I need a power to keep me strong When I am tempted to do wrong.
I need a grace to keep me pure When passion tries its deadly lure.
I need a love to keep me sweet When hardness and mistrust I meet.
I need an arm to be my stay When dark with trouble grows by day;
And nothing on earth can ...

Ready or not, someday it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days.
All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten,
will pass to someone else. Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance.
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed. Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies

Blessing. She was still groggy from surgery. Her husband, David, held her hand as they braced themselves

The Night That Jesus Came 2/17/2009
It was the night that Jesus came, and through the house, not a person was praying, Not one in the house.
The Bible was left on the shelf without care, for no one thought Jesus would come there. The were dressing to crawl into bed, not once ever kneeling or bowing their head.
And mom in the rocking chair with baby on her lap, Was watching the late show as I took a nap. When out ...

Taking That Which Is Left Over 2/16/2009
“According to the word o f the Lard they gave him the city
which he asked, even Timnath-serah in mount Ephraim: and
he built the city, and dwelt therein.” Joshua 19:50.
A study of the meaning of the proper names in the Old Testament
is most rewarding. The name of this city, Timnath-serah,
gives us an interesting insight into the character of Joshua.

Why Did Jesus Fold the Napkin? 2/3/2009
Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection?
I never noticed this. The Gospel of John (20 ) tells us that the napkin, which
was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside
like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin
was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony
coffin. Early Sunday morning, ...

The Little Angel 2/1/2009
There was this little girl sitting by herself in the park.
Everyone passed her by and never stopped to see why she looked
so sad. Dressed in a worn pink dress, barefoot and dirty, the
girl just sat and watched the people go by. She never tried
to speak and she never said a word. Many people passed but no one would stop. The next day I decided
to go back to the park in curiosity to see if the ...
