What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside you.A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.
Goals are the road maps that guide you and show you what is possible for your life.
Motivation For The Day
Every minute you are thinking of evil, you might have been thinking of good instead. Refuse to pander to a morbid interest in your own misdeeds. Pick yourself up, be sorry, shake yourself, and go on again.On This Day

Personal Story Of The Day
Aging is all about perception and perspective. Many people are frightened by getting older, but they have no reason to be. All the qualities we would love to have can come with experience and aging. The passing of time is not to be feared for someone who is walking in the Lord. Aging brings out our humorous side if we permit it to... we laugh at ourselves because we realize how futile and frustrating human perfection and ideals are.
When Phyllis Diller turned 62, she said, "I'm really only 35... because I have been taking birthday control pills."
Three women are talking. The first says, "I go to the refrigerator and forget what I needed in there." The second says, "When I go upstairs, I can't remember whether I'm going up for something or coming back down." The third woman says, "I'm lucky, I guess (knocking on wood), I don't have that problem. Oh, there's someone at the door."
I think God created women with an aversion to talking about their age. The Bible says that Adam lived to be 930 years old, but never mentions Eve's age.
It's been said that "No matter how old some people get, they never seem to lose their attractiveness. They merely move it from their faces to their hearts."
Aging requires a positive attitude to go with it. This attitude can be summed up in the following story. An animal welfare organization offered $5000 for wolves captured alive... to save them from extinction. Sam and Jed, two animal hunters scoured the mountains, day and night, looking for their valuable prey.
One night, exhausted, they fell asleep by their camp fire. Suddenly, Sam awoke to see that they were surrounded by about fifty wolves with flaming eyes and bared teeth. He nudged his friend and said, "Jed, wake up! We're rich!"
The more years that "bare their teeth" at us, the richer we become!
Jokes Of The Day
Just as a surgeon was finishing up an operation and was about to close, the patient awakes, sits up, and demands to know what is going on. "I'm about to close," the surgeon says.The patient grabs the surgeon's hand and says, "I'm not going to let you do that! I'll close my own incision!"
The doctor hands him the thread and says, "Suture self."

When Robinson stretched out on the psychiatrist's couch, he was clearly in a bad state. "Doctor," he pleaded, voice quavering and hands twitching, "you've got to help me. I really think I'm losing my mind. I have no memory of what happened to me a year ago, nor even of a few weeks back. I can't even recall yesterday with any clarity. I can't cope with daily life - in fact, I think I'm going insane."
"Keep calm, Mr. Robinson," soothed the shrink. "I'm sure I'll be able to help you. Now tell me, how long have you had this problem?"
Robinson looked up blankly. "What problem?"
************************************
A guy goes into a restaurant and lounge, his shirt open at the collar, but is stopped by a bouncer who tells him he must wear a necktie to get in.
So the guy goes out to his car and he looks around for a tie and discovers that he just doesn't have one. He sees a set of jumper cables in his trunk. In desperation he ties these around his neck, manages to fashion a fairly acceptable looking knot and lets the ends dangle free.
He goes back to the restaurant and the bouncer suspiciously looks him over for a few moments and then says, "Well, OK, I guess you can come in - just don't start anything."

Riddle Of The Day
How many times can you subtract the number 5 from 25?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
If a wheel has 64 spokes, how many spaces are there between the spokes?
64. The space that comes after the 64th spoke, would be just before the first spoke.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Helping A FriendWhen someone is struggling and starting to miss meetings, it is a sign that they need some positive words from a good friend. The last thing people in this position need is a rocket and rebuke. There is nothing you can add to negative outcomes that isn't already on their mind... and that alone shows that a negative approach is not working for them.
They need something positive, not more damnation and pain. The bible heroes who all had their moments, all needed someone to redirect them onto a more positive path. This was often done with positives about God and offers of support. A fear driven life is often what leads people to despair... in the end they stop fearing, accept their 'fate' and give up.
What does the Lord say? 'Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light'. Matthew 11:28-30. I don't think I can improve on that advice and probably don't see a need to go much further, as it is often many steps to regain confidence and assurance. Good friends are 'good' 'friends'... who will never desert someone in their time of real need.
'There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love'. 1 John 4:18. Godly service (love), achieves much more than fear and pain!
HE is Our Sustainer
Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
So many times we can be troubled by things that have happened to us. I know there have been times when someone would tell me something, and then they wouldn't follow through. This can be upsetting, since I am one that tries to keep my word to others.
Some may often feel rejected by friends. Have you ever had a friendship that you thought was going well. Then, all of a sudden, the friend just quits ringing you, quits coming around, and there is no explanation? You may try to work out the problem, but you never really come to a conclusion. It remains a mystery as to why the person decided they didn't want to be your friend. It becomes a struggle not to say something, because you want to know what you have done. But, instead, you keep it to yourself, and negativity sets in.
When things of this world take over our minds, we need to give our burden to the Lord. He is the only one that can sustain us, to keep us from sinking into depression or giving up on life.
Facts Of The Day
- Plates carrying the continents migrate over the earth's surface a few centimetres (inches) per year, about the same speed that a fingernail grows.
- One year on earth is 365.26 days long. One day is 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds long. The extra day in a leap year was introduced to compensate for the discrepancy in the Georgian calendar.
