as much listening as talking.

Stand Up
For what you believe in. Stand for something or
you will fall for anything..

Why?
Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?
Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?
Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?
Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage?
EVER WONDER...
Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?
Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?
Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?
Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?
Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do 'practice'?
Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?
Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?
Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?
Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?
Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?
You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff??
Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?
Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?
Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)... in other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.
OH you didn't smile - well how about this one:
Have a happy day.

The Bible – Inspired Word of God
Inspired Word of God
"Marvelous description & explanation of The Bible"
Ron Carlson, December 19, 2008
During a question & answer session at a recent speaking engagement, a university student asked me, “Why do you believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God?” Now this is a very interesting question, and probably one of the most important questions any Christian could ask themselves.
What is so special, so unique about the Bible that Christians believe it is literally the inspired word of God?
In answering this student’s question, I encouraged him to consider the following facts about the Bible.
First, the Bible is not just one single book. This is a more common misconception than more people realise, especially with people who do not come from a Judeo-Christian background. Rather than being a single book, the Bible is actually a collection of 66 books, which is called the canon of scriptures. These 66 books contain a variety of genres: history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom, literature, letters, and apocalyptic just to name a few.
Second, these 66 books were written by 40 different authors. These authors came from a variety of backgrounds: shepherds, fishermen, doctors, kings, prophets and others. And most of these authors never knew one another personally.
Third, these 66 books were written over a period of 1500 years. Yet again, this is another reminder that many of these authors never knew nor collaborated with one another in writing these books.
Fourth, the 66 books of the Bible were written in 3 different languages. In the Bible, we have books that were written in the ancient language of Hebrew, Greek and Armaic; a reflexion of the historical and cultural circumstances in which each of these books were written.
And finally, these 66 books were written on 3 different continents: Africa, Asia & Europe. Once again, this is a testament to the varied historical & cultural circumstances of God’s people.
Think about the above realities: 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents. What’s more, this collection of books shares a common storyline- the Creation, Fall and Redemption of God’s people; a common theme- God’s universal love for all humanity; and a common message- Salvation is available to all who repent of their sins and commit to following God with all of their heart, soul, mind & strength. In addition to sharing these commonalities, these 66 books contain no historical errors or contradictions. God’s word truly is an amazing collection of writings!
After I shared the above facts with this student, I offered him the following challenge: I said to him, “If you do not believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God, if you do not believe that the Bible is of a super natural origin, then I challenge you to a test.”
I said to the student, “I challenge you to go to any library in the world, you can choose any library that you like, and find 66 books which match the characteristics of the 66 books in the Bible. You must choose 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1500 years, in 3 different languages, written on 3 different continents. However, they must share a common storyline, a common theme, and a common message with no historical errors or contradictions. I went on to say, “If you can produce such a collection of books, I will admit that the Bible is not the inspired word of God.”
The student’s reply was almost instantaneous; he infatically stated, “But that’s impossible!”
“But that’s impossible!” It truly is impossible for any collection of human writings. However, the Bible passes this test. The Bible contains 66 books, written by 40 different authors, over 1500 years, in 3 different languages, on 3 different continents with no historical errors or contradictions. The entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation, bears the mark of divine inspiration.
The next time you encounter someone who asks you why you believe the Bible is the inspired word of God, try sharing this challenge with them. Better yet, don’t wait until you are asked, just go ahead & share this challenge with a friend today.
You don’t even have to mention the Bible up front; just ask them if they think it would be realistic to assemble such a collection of books, after they say, “But that’s impossible!” You’ve got a ready-made opportunity for sharing the truth of God’s word with somebody.
You can't change the past, but you can ruin the present by worrying over the future.

Life Is A Journey
Life is a journey through many terrain
From gardens of pleasure to deserts of pain
From an ocean of love to a jungle of hate
From mountains of glory to canyons of fate
There's a highway for joy and a highway for sorrow
A road for today and a road for tomorrow
So choose your path wisely and walk with care
If you follow your heart, you'll find your way there
I've been to the garden and planted seeds there
I've been to the desert and felt the despair
I've swam in the ocean and drank of it's wine
I climbed up the mountain to touch the sky
I went to the canyon and started to cry
I've traveled both highways,
Both today and tomorrow
I've basked in the joy and wallowed in sorrow
My path has been chosen and
I've walked it with care
I followed my heart and I'm on my way there
So I'll just keep walking till I find what I'm after
To mountains and oceans and
Gardens of laughter.

Friendship
Friendship: Is the golden thread that ties all hearts together.
A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you
when you have forgotten the words.
A good exercise for the heart is to bend down and help another up.
Friends are like four leaf clovers, hard to find, lucky to have.
If all my friends jumped off a cliff, I wouldn't jump with them. I would be at the bottom to catch them.

A Wish For You
Today...I wish you a day of ordinary miracles
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself.
An unexpected phone call from an old friend.
Green stoplights on your way to work or shop.
I wish you a day of little things to rejoice in...
The fastest line at the grocery store.
A good sing along song on the radio.
Your keys right where you look.
A rainbow ahead of you.
I wish you a day of happiness and perfection, little bite-size pieces of perfection that give you the funny feeling that the Lord is smiling on you, holding you so gently because you are someone special and rare.

A Time To Diet
My soul is ripped with riot incited by my wicked diet. "We Are What We Eat," said a wise old man!
and, if that's true, I'm a garbage can.
I want to rise and feel good that's plain! but at my present weight, I'll need a crane. So grant me strength, that I may not fall into the clutches of cholesterol. May my flesh with carrot sticks be sated,
that my soul may be poly-unsaturated And show me the light, that I may bear witness to the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
And at oleo margarine I'll never mutter, for the road to Plumpness is spread with butter. And cream is cursed; and cake is awful; and evil is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone; the bane is in each slice of baloney, Fat hides in a chocolate drop,
and sugar is in a lollipop.
Give me this day my daily slice but, cut it thin and toast it twice. I beg upon my dimpled knees, deliver me from jujubees.
And when my days of trial are done, and my war with malted milk is won, Let me stand with the model throng, In a shining robe--size 5-6 long.
I can do it friend, If you'll show to me, the virtues of lettuce and celery. If you'll teach me the evil of mayonnaise, of pasta a la Milannaise potatoes a la Lyonnaise and crisp-fried chicken from the South.
I pray if you love me, shut my mouth.

and, if that's true, I'm a garbage can.
I want to rise and feel good that's plain! but at my present weight, I'll need a crane. So grant me strength, that I may not fall into the clutches of cholesterol. May my flesh with carrot sticks be sated,
that my soul may be poly-unsaturated And show me the light, that I may bear witness to the President's Council on Physical Fitness.
And at oleo margarine I'll never mutter, for the road to Plumpness is spread with butter. And cream is cursed; and cake is awful; and evil is hiding in every waffle.
Mephistopheles lurks in provolone; the bane is in each slice of baloney, Fat hides in a chocolate drop,
and sugar is in a lollipop.

Things To Ponder
The best way to get even is to forget.
Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death..
God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts..
Some folks wear their halos much too tight...
Unless you can create the WHOLE universe in 5 days, Then perhaps giving "advice" to God, isn't such a good idea!
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up...
Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous. You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.
Words are windows to the heart.
It isn't difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill just add a little dirt.
A successful marriage isn't finding the right person-it's being the right person.
The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its ground.
To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover the prisoner was you.
You have to wonder about humans, they think God is dead and Elvis is alive!
You'll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it sticks out its neck...
If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.
Keep smiling! And...if you see someone's missing one....give them one of yours!

Today Is A Gift
Given to you and to me,
And the only one like it
That there will ever be.
Given to you and to me,
And the only one like it
That there ever will be.
So please use it wisely,
Spread love and some cheer,
Because the days will quickly
Turn into a year.
