Scripture Of The Day
Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning; for in thee do I trust: cause me to know the way wherein I should walk; for I lift up my soul unto thee. Psalms 143:8.Read The Bible In a Year
2 Chronicles 19-20; John 13:21-38.Thoughts For The Day
We didn't write the plan, we're only expected to follow it without question.It's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe.
Many people think that if they were only in some other place, or had some other job, they would be happy. Well, that is doubtful. So get as much out of what you are doing as you can and don't put off being happy until some future date.

Personal Story Of The Day
I Promise To Quit Quitting
Though difficult to utter, those words are among the most important ones a person can ever say. They are perhaps the most solemn oath a person can utter, and in Job's case demonstrated his continued faith, despite his circumstances. Job could have given up. He even mentioned the bitterness that he had tasted, the justice he had been denied... both from God. Despite this, he began his statements with an oath that called upon God. Even in the hardest of circumstances, Job's faith in God continued.
Faith is easier when things are going well. We more readily acknowledge God in our words when we can see His blessing on us. But faith is not for just the good times; it's for all times and the most effective is at the worst time imaginable.
Jokes Of The Day
Some Advice Concerning Children:If you have a lot of tension and you get a headache, do what it says on the aspirin bottle: "Take two aspirin" and "Keep away from children."
You spend the first 2 years of their life teaching them to walk and talk. Then you spend the next 16 years telling them to sit down and shut-up.
Grandchildren are God's reward for not killing your children.
Mothers of teens know why some animals eat their young.
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word-for-word exactly what you shouldn't have said.
The main purpose of holding children's parties is to remind yourself that there are children more awful than your own.
I 'child-proofed' my home 25 years ago and they're still getting in!
Anyway, be nice to your children, they might choose your nursing home someday.

A man appears before the pearly gates. "Have you ever done anything of particular merit?" St. Peter asks. "Well, I can think of one thing," the man offers. "Once I came upon a gang of high-spirited bikers who were threatening a young woman. I directed them to leave her alone but they wouldn't listen. So I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker. I smacked him on the head, kicked his bike over, ripped out his nose ring. threw it on the ground, and told him, "Leave her alone now or you'll answer to me.'" St. Peter was impressed. "When did this happen?" "A couple of minutes ago."

There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer. When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level. Stuff that will make them scream, cry, and howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Knowing How To Be Repentant
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin. Psalm 38:18. References from Psalm 38.
Confessing our sins and our sinful nature before God is another type of prayer we should practice often. Psalm 38 is traditionally considered one of the seven penitential psalms, with the others being Psalms 6, 32, 51, 102, 130, and 143. The main point is found inverse 18: 'For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin'. Thus, when the psalmist asked the Lord to help him, we understand that he was talking primarily about forgiveness.
David's soul was sick, and he described these feelings in intense bodily terms. He had no health, his bones were unsound, his back ached, his wounds festered, he was mute and deaf, he felt crushed and helpless. All these symptoms afflicted him because he knew he had offended God (v4). God was disciplining His child, exercising holy discipline to bring him to the painful point of repentance.
The physical imagery is so vivid here that it is clear that David understood the full consequences of sin as opposed to single errors that occur through most of our lives.
Have you ever confessed your sins with this kind of spiritual intensity? Paul certainly had a moment like this... 'O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?' (Rom 7:24). In addition, because David was Israel's king and sometimes hidden his sin, God had made his sin and its consequences public. As a result, his friends had dropped away and his enemies were waiting to pounce.
Down in the Valley
And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. So Moses brought Israel from the Red sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur; and they went three days in the wilderness, and found no water. Exodus 15:21-22.
Mountain tops are great places. As you stand on some lofty peak it seems as if you can see forever. But most people don't live on mountains. The demands of reality require that life is generally lived in the valleys. The Israelites had just come through one of the high points of their nation's history... a mountain top experience. Chased by Pharaoh's army, they crossed the divided Red Sea with dry sandals and then saw the waters rush together again upon their enemy's horses and chariots.
With tremendous joy, they sang God's praise. Then they hit the valley... from the fresh air of the mountaintop to the dry, oppressive air of the wilderness. For three days they travelled without finding water. Compared to the mountain tops, the valleys are real spiritual challenges, but that's the way real life is. Spiritual mountain tops are wonderful.
You feel particularly close to God during your devotional time; you return from a weekend camp knowing the living Lord has met with you in a special way; you come home from church after the talk has met a deep spiritual need in your life. You revel in the warmth of these marvellous mountain top experiences. But that's not where you live.
You live in the valley, where there are dirty dishes to wash, lawns to mow and children to raise. Often real life isn't much fun. Fortunately, Israel discovered, as will you, that God is with you both on the mountain and in the valley. He never leaves you, never allows you out of His loving care. We all appreciate those times when we encounter God in a special way, but we know that God is also with us when we sink to spiritual lows and feel a little dry.
The God you meet in the good times is the same God who meets you in the hard times.
Facts Of The Day
Why do people say that cats have nine lives? Some people believe in the superstition that cats have nine lives, because cats can survive falls from high places with few, if any injuries. This gives the appearance that the cats return to life after sustaining a fatal accidents. Granted, they may sustain minor injuries, such as bloody noses, cracked teeth, or a few broken ribs, but they live to recover. The ability of the cat to survive these accidents that would kill humans or other animals is not due to multiple lives, but to several advantages they possess. Their small size and low body weight soften the impact as they make contact with the ground after falling from great heights. The highly developed inner ears of cats equip them with an unusually keen sense of balance, which is critical to their landing on their feet. This sense of balance allows a cat falling upside down to right himself by rapidly determining his position, repositioning himself, and making any adjustments necessary to ensure that he lands on all fours.
