A determined person will do more with a pen and paper, than a lazy person will accomplish with a personal computer.An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and in this lies the great distinction between great men and little men.

Personal Story Of The Day
This is supposed to be a true story...
A little girl went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jam jar from itshiding place in the closet. She poured all the change out on the floor and
counted it carefully. Three times, even. The total had to be exactly
perfect.
No chance here for mistakes. Carefully placing the coins back in
the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her
way 6 blocks to Rexall's Drug Store with the big red Indian Chief sign above
the door.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist to give her some attention but he
was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a scuffing
noise. Nothing. She cleared her throat with the most disgusting sound she
could muster. No good. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged
it on the glass counter. That did it!
And what do you want?" the pharmacist asked in an annoyed tone of voice.
I'm talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven't seen in ages," he said
without waiting for a reply to his question.
"Well, I want to talk to you about my brother," Tess answered back in the
same annoyed tone. "He's really, really sick... and I want to buy a
miracle."
''I beg your pardon?" said the pharmacist. "His name is Andrew and he has
something bad growing inside his head and my Daddy says only a miracle can
save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?"
"We don't sell miracles here, little girl. I'm sorry but I can't help
you," the pharmacist said, softening a little.
"Listen, I have the money to pay for it. If it isn't enough, I will get
the rest. Just tell me how much it costs."
The pharmacist's brother was a well-dressed man. He stooped down and asked
the little girl, "What kind of a miracle does your brother need?" "I don't
know," Tess replied with her eyes welling up. "I just know he's really sick
and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can't pay for it, so I
want to use my money."
"How much do you have?" asked the man from Chicago. "One dollar and
eleven cents," Tess answered barely audibly. "And it's all the money I have,
but I can get some more if I need to."
"Well, what a coincidence," smiled the man. "A dollar and eleven
cents--- the exact price of a miracle for little brothers." He took her
money in one hand and with the other hand he grasped her mitten and said
"Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your
parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need."
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing
in neuro-surgery. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn't
long until Andrew was home again and doing well.

Mom and Dad were happily
talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. "That
surgery," her Mom whispered, "was a real miracle. I wonder how much it
would have cost?" Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost...
one dollar and eleven cents... plus the faith of a little child.
A miracle is not the suspension of natural law, but the operation of a

Jokes Of The Day
A little girl and a little boy were at day care one day. The girl approaches the boy and says, "Hey Tommy, want to play house?"He says, "Sure! What do you want me to do?"
The girl replies, "I want you to communicate your feelings."
"Communicate my feelings?" said a bewildered Tommy. "I have no idea what that means."
The little girl smirks and says, "Perfect. You can be the husband."

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Stay Where The Strength Is.
But without faith it is impossible to please him. Hebrews 11:6. References from Deuteronomy 20:1-20.
During the turbulent days of his government, Oliver Cromwell sent one of his envoys to Sweden to represent his interests. The official stopped at an inn while in route, accompanied by his servant, but the envoy found that he was so troubled by the affairs of state that he could not sleep.

He tossed and turned until his servant finally spoke up. 'Sir', the servant asked, 'Do you not think that God governed the world well before you came into it?' 'Undoubtedly', the envoy replied. And sir, the servant continued, 'do you not think that He will govern it quite as well when you are gone out of it?' 'Certainly!' snorted the envoy... a little irritated at being asked the obvious. 'Then sir, excuse me, but do you not think you may trust Him to govern it quite as well as long as you live?' The envoy promptly turned over and went to sleep.
For Israel, the secret to success in taking possession of the land that God had promised to them didn't lie in human strategy or military might. Ultimately it was a matter of faith. The directives laid down for God's people in today's verses echo the message of the gospel song that declares, 'faith is the victory that overcomes the world.'
If this was true for God's people in a time of actual warfare, it is even more important in the spiritual warfare that we encounter today. God's people continue to face a difficult opponent: For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Eph 6:12). These same spiritual powers were created by Christ and for Christ (Col 1:16).
Because He has already triumphed over them, these principalities and powers cannot separate us from the love of God (Col 2:15; Rom. 8:38). They may be our enemies, but they are an enemy that has already been defeated. Our confidence is the same offered to the armies of Israel. God is working on our behalf in the midst of all we face... He works for our good and His glory.

A 'Relaxed' Society
And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God. Luke 16:15
Through the years, we've seen changes in our society and acceptable norms. So much has changed from what I was taught or even what I knew about, since the days of my youth. Words have changed in the dictionary to mean things other than what we learned in school.
Take the case of the 'two fathers' family: two guys have been granted the ability to have a baby through a surrogate mother, and then be able to raise those children as legal parents to that child. My thoughts are and always will be that a family where there are TWO parents, consists of a mother and a father. Would someone please let me know how two men make up a mother and a father? I don't believe anyone can.
We've been warned that, during the last days, many of these things will come to pass. The family is being degraded; you no longer have to be a husband and wife team, but a wife/wife, or a husband/husband can make it 'by law'. Gone is the day when every child could say I have a Mother/Father at home. I realize that many children do live in a one parent home because many fathers are not there for a variety of poor reasons.
They claim that it doesn't make any difference to a child, as to who brings that child up. But the scriptures say otherwise. A child follows after the example of a parent, a sibling, friends, family, and if that child sees only two fathers or two mothers in a household, how will that child know what a 'normal' family really consists of? He or she will have questions, and they will ultimately begin to question the relevancy of the Bible as the Truth. But that has always been the aim of those who don't believe in God's ways.
Most western nations have become more and more relaxed in society. We 'accept' things that our forefathers would never have dreamed of accepting. We are afraid to speak out, for fear of reprisal or being looked down upon for not accepting or being 'considerate' of other's feelings. Our God is a compassionate God, a forgiving God, but we can't do what we know to be wrong, or that which He states in His Word is wrong, and contend that we are 'living a Christian life'. That's an absurdity!
