Childhood is a time of rapid changes. Between the ages of twelve and seventeen, a parent can age 30 years.That's the way things come clear. All of a sudden. And then you realize how obvious they've been all along.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.

Personal Story Of The Day
Look At Them NowFrom the news...
Education bosses delayed plans to introduce new guidelines for religious education teachers which include warnings against using terms such as Holy Ghost - deemed too "trivial and spooky" for children.
Under the guidelines, schools will also be advised to take school trips to churches only when they are full - as the sight of the empty buildings may make pupils believe Christianity is irrelevant.
Most major religions feature in the list of do's and don'ts drawn up by education chiefs in Norfolk to prevent students being confused or alienated by religious terms.
Less than twenty years later, they have abandoned nearly every moral and spiritual truth that they ever tried to protect... even though they were wrong in the first place.
You and I can still do the job that the Lord wants done. let's keep at it!!
Jokes Of The Day
The blonde's husband passed away and she called 911. The 911 operator told the blonde that she would send someone out right away."Where do you live?" asked the operator.
the blonde replied, "At the end of Eucalyptus Drive."
The operator asked, "Can you spell that for me?"
There was a long pause and finally she said, "How 'bout if I drag him over to Oak Street and you pick him up there?"

A city slicker moves to the country and decides he's going to take up farming. He heads to the local co-op and tells the man, "Give me 100 baby chickens." The co-op man complies.
A week later the man returns and says, "Give me 200 baby chickens." The co-op man complies.
Again, a week after the man returns. This time he says, "Give me 500 baby chickens."
"Wow!" the co-op man replies. "You must really be doing well!"
"Naw," said the man with a sigh. "I'm either planting them too deep or too far apart!"

(Older Wiser Laughing Souls)
Wisdom from Grandpa......
Whether a man winds up with a nest egg, or a goose egg, depends a lot on the kind of chick he marries.
Trouble in marriage often starts when a man gets so busy earnin' his salt that he forgets his sugar.
Too many couples marry for better, or for worse, but not for good.
When a man marries a woman, they become one; but the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
If a man has enough horse sense to treat his wife like a thoroughbred, she will never turn into an old nag.
On anniversaries, the wise husband always forgets the past - but never the present.
A foolish husband says to his wife, "Honey, you stick to the washin', ironin', cookin' and scrubbin'. No wife of mine is gonna 'work'."
Many girls like to marry a military man - he can cook, sew, and make beds and is in good health, and he's already used to taking orders.
Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.
Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me, I want people to know "why" I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
How old would you be if you didn't know how old you are?
You know you are getting old, when everything either dries up or leaks.
Old age is when former classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald, they don't recognize you.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Different Type Of Treasure.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Proverbs 9:10. References from Job 28:1-28.
When most of us think about gold mining, we envision gold-panning prospectors in the Wild West or the outback. But gold mining is quite complex. Today, gold is extracted from ores that often contain little gold. The ore is crushed to expose small gold particles. Chemical treatments complete the process. The opening verses of today's verses (v1-11) describe other difficulties associated with extracting precious metals and gems.
Miners are willing to risk descending deep into the earth's dark caverns in search of these prized elements.
Now you may be wondering why Job has switched from talking about God's justice (the end of Job 27) to a lecture on mining! Indeed, some scholars have questioned whether this passage even belongs here in the book of Job. Yet this interlude serves two important functions. First, to paraphrase this passage for today,
Job marvels at humanitie's technological abilities. Humans are able to do what even the mightiest of the animal kingdom can't do (v7-8). But even with this ability, humans aren't able to find the most important treasure, wisdom.
This is Job's second point. Although men can enter dark tunnels to find ore, people can't enter the darkness of life and find wisdom. Wisdom simply cannot be found in the same way as precious material elements (v12-19). In short, wisdom is hidden from every living creature and even from death itself (v22).
The point of this entire passage, therefore, is to show that there is only one source of wisdom, and that's God. God Himself knows the way of wisdom because He created the universe. Consequently, wisdom can't be found like gold or rubies. Instead, wisdom is God's gift to humans (v28). Wisdom must begin with God, and it can only come from God.
Then said Boaz unto his servant that was set over the reapers, Whose damsel is this? And the servant that was set over the reapers answered and said, It is the Moabitish damsel that came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab. Ruth 2:5-6.
Nothing happens by chance. Take, for example, the blue whale. Longer than three tip trucks, heavier than 110 Honda Civics and with a heart the size of a Volkswagen Beetle. This magnificent creature requires four tons of krill a day (that's three million calories) for its sustenance. Even a baby blue whale can put away 400 litres of milk every 24 hours.
When a blue whale surfaces, it takes in the largest breath of air of any living thing on the planet. Its spray shoots higher into the air than the height of a telephone pole. How did such a creature come into existence? Not by chance, you can be sure, but by an all-knowing Creator's plan.
Neither did Boaz by chance come to his fields just in time to meet Ruth. He certainly didn't come with any intentions of finding a wife, but that was God's plan. Ruth, too, was simply doing what she needed to do for survival. In fact, until she spoke with Naomi, she wasn't even aware of Boaz's relationship with the family she had married into (2:19-20). But in God's plans nothing happens by chance.
Sometimes our circumstances seem to come about by chance. We think, If I had made this decision instead of that decision, my life would be different. Or, If I'd been here instead of there, this wouldn't have happened. While we cannot use this as an excuse for making poor decisions, we can have the confidence that nothing happens by chance.
Take care of your responsibilities in a way that honours God, and He will work out His plan through you. If you are struggling with the "what ifs" of life, put them aside. Be assured that God is working out His plan for you, and it won't be by 'good or bad luck'.
