When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.There are only two kinds of scholars; those who love ideas and those who hate them.

Personal Story Of The Day
Faith Works!
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.Matthew 9:29
I know you've all read about those 'faith people'. Well, I am one of those. Why? Because GOD teaches us to have faith. He teaches us to always pray, and not tire, but hold on until the answer comes. It may not come as quickly as we want, but it will come in time.
Faith comes by knowledge, and that knowledge comes by teaching and studying the Word of God. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. Hearing the Word of God will strengthen your faith.
Can you imagine what David would have been up against, had he lost his faith in God to bring him through the battle with Goliath. He was too small in stature to stand up to him in his own strength. He had to rely on his faith in God, that he would come through victoriously.
The woman, who had an issue of blood for years knew that, if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' garment, she would be healed. So she chose to get close to Him, until she could reach out and touch Him. He immediately knew someone had touched Him, because virtue went from Him.
She immediately told him the story, and He told her that 'her faith' had made her whole! It wasn't His faith, someone else's faith, but HER faith. The Bible says that 'faith without works is dead'. She had to do something... she believed that GOD could heal her, if only she could touch Him, so she strived to do just that!
Faith is the root; fruits are the good works. Faith helps us live for God, keeps us on the right path, true to God.
Jokes Of The Day
A dietician was once addressing a large audience in Chicago. "The material we put into our stomachs is enough to have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is awful. Vegetables can be disastrous, and none of us realizes the germs in our drinking water. But there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and we all of us eat it. Can anyone here tell me what lethal product I'm referring to? You, sir, in the first row, please give us your idea."The man lowered his head and said, "Wedding cake."
************************************
As supposedly reported on CNN:
Undercover police, staging the wedding of "a drug kingpin's daughter", let it be known on the street that dealers were "invited" (i. e. Expected to attend).
The bride and groom were police, as was the band, bartender, and about half the guests. The band playing at the wedding was "S. P. O. C." (COPS, backwards), and the wedding went through the full ceremony, including the dancing afterward.
The long-sought dealers were arrested after the "band" took their break. The last song the band played before taking its break? "I Fought The Law, And The Law Won"
************************************
An older couple had a son, who was still living with his parents. The parents were a little worried, as the son was still unable to decide about his career path... so they decided to do a small test.
They took a ten-dollar bill, a Bible, and a bottle of whiskey, and put them on the front hall table. Then they hid, hoping he would think they weren't at home.
The father told the mother, "If he takes the money he will be a businessman, if he takes the Bible he will be a priest - but if he takes the bottle of whiskey, I'm afraid our son will be a drunkard."
So the parents took their place in the nearby closet and waited nervously. Peeping through the keyhole they saw their son arrive home. He saw the note they had left, saying they'd be home later. Then, he took the 10-dollar bill, looked at it against the light, and slid it in his pocket.
After that, he took the Bible, flicked through it, and took it also.
Finally, he grabbed the bottle, opened it, and took an appreciative whiff to be assured of the quality. Then he left for his room, carrying all the three items.
The father slapped his forehead, and said: "Darn, it's even worse than I ever imagined..."
"What do you mean?" his wife inquired.
"Our son is going to be a politician!" replied the concerned father.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Time To Rejoice
The Resurrected Christ
And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again. Matthew 20:19.
Jesus was taken down from the cross and placed in a tomb. Mary Magdalene, along with Mary, went to the tomb later, carrying sweet spices with which to anoint his body. When they arrived, they found the stone rolled away and the tomb was empty. The tomb couldn't hold Jesus!
Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? Matthew 9:15. References from Matthew 8:1-9:34.
A new contact lens helps blind people see. Developed by Dr. Perry Rosenthal, the Boston Scleral Lens sits only on the white of the eye, protecting the cornea with a layer of fluid. People who cannot see due to corneal damage can wear them and lead normal lives.
Individual lenses are custom-made to fit individual eyes, and cost about $7,500. Unfortunately, insurance companies have so far refused to pay for them, but Dr. Rosenthal turns no one away. He hopes to open clinics around the country to help as many as possible.
Helping blind people see is what the Messiah came to do as well (see Isa. 42:67). In today's verses, we see clearly who Jesus was. He was powerful... healing a leper and others, calming a storm, and even raising a dead girl to life. He was compassionate. He demonstrated divine authority to heal, resurrect, and forgive. He called disciples to follow Him and abandon everything for which they had previously lived. He was and is and will be the Bridegroom of His people (9:15).
In this passage, we can also see how people should respond to Christ. Faith is central. Jesus commended the Roman centurion for his faith, and He healed two blind men in accordance with their faith (8:10; 9:29). Merely to recognize Jesus is not good enough. True faith responds to His power and goodness with love and obedience. Matthew himself was a good example in this regard.
By contrast, the people who owned the pigs cared nothing for spiritual life. The Messiah had just shown His power, and all they could think about was financial gain and loss. The blasphemous Pharisees actually accused Him of using Satan's power. And even the disciples were admonished for having only little faith (8:26).
What's the bottom line? Jesus had come to heal those sick in body and soul (9:12). As the Great Physician, He alone could forgive sins and give entrance to the kingdom of heaven through the power of the Holy Spirit. Most encouragingly, He came to do so for the entire world (8:11)! There is good reason to rejoice and celebrate in the midst of so much trouble.

The angel of the Lord was there, and told them that He was gone, that he had risen! He had risen, just as He had said he would! He urged them to go tell the disciples that Jesus had risen from the dead, and he would be in Galilee.
Jesus began to appear to the people, after he rose from the grave. Jesus first appeared to Mary Magdalene. She then went and told the others that she had been with Jesus, and they wept. Two of the disciples later saw Jesus on the road to Damascus. The eleven faithful disciples met him in Jerusalem and in Galilee. He stayed on earth the next forty days and taught the disciples.
The disciples were convinced, through the Resurrection of Christ, that he was indeed the Messiah, not just the one that announced the coming Kingdom of God. They believed that He would indeed begin to free the people of their suffering and evil. They also believed he would indeed return and complete His work.
The followers of Jesus did not accept his death as the end of him. They were certain that he did truly come back from the dead, and did rise to heaven. Many people were truly convinced He was the Son of God, after they heard of his Resurrection. The power of the resurrected Christ is applied every time you share your testimony.

Facts Of The Day
The right eye sees more of the right side of the flower while the left eye sees more of the left side of the flower. If you placed the two different images on top of one another, they would not match and our vision would be out of focus. However, our brains sort out these varying visual messages from our two eyes, combines the images, and the recreates one three-dimensional image. This is referred to as binocular vision.
Just like your look through two lenses in binoculars, humans view the world through two lenses. The eyes of many other animals are placed differently than ours. Many birds have an eye on each side of their head. Each eye sees a completely separate area stretching out on the left or the right. Viewing the world through two eyes provides us with depth perception. When you look at the flower through just one eye, it looks a lot flatter.
Why is blood red? The blood flowing through the arteries, capillaries, and veins of our bodies contains many different materials and cells, each with a different function. Plasma, the liquid portion of the blood, comprises more than half of the blood. Plasma is light yellow in colour, and is thicker than water, because it contains many substances, in addition to the actual blood cells.
These substances include proteins, antibodies that combat disease, fibrinogen, which helps blood clot, carbohydrates, fats, salts, and others. Red blood cells, or corpuscles, encased in blood vessels, colour the blood. Since there are about 35 trillion of these tiny, round, flat discs circulating in one's body at any one time, their sheer number necessarily lends their red colour to the blood. As the young red blood cell matures and takes on an adult form in the marrow of the bone, it loses its nucleus, and it increases its production of haemoglobin.
Haemoglobin is the red pigment, or colour of blood, and contains iron, combined with protein. When blood passes through the lungs, oxygen piggybacks on the haemoglobin of the red cells. From there, the red cells carry the oxygen through the arteries and the capillaries to all other cells of the body. Carbon dioxide from the body cells returns to the lungs through the veins in the same manner, by attaching to the haemoglobin.
Red blood cells have a life expectancy of approximately four months, before they are broken up, primarily in the spleen, and are replaced by new red blood cells. New cells are continuously generated to replace the old cells that have passed their prime and have been destroyed to make room for the younger generation. Let's not forget that, in addition to red blood cells, we also have several types of white blood cells!
