Read The Bible In a Year
Psalms 129-131 ; 1 Corinthians 11:1-16Thoughts For The Day
The most important thing about goals is having one.When you determine what you want, you have made the most important decision in your life. You have to know what you want in order to attain it.
The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goals to reach.

Personal Story Of The Day
The Right Signal
On July 3, 1988, the guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes mistakenly shot down an Iranian airliner with 290 people aboard. All were lost. The ship's captain mistakenly thought they were under attack by an F-14 Iranian fighter because there appeared to be no 'Friendly' signal coming from the aircraft (the signals are common on all commercial aircraft).
Public opinion polls showed that most Americans opposed paying compensation to the victims' families. The cruel treatment of American hostages in Iran was still fresh in many minds. But President Reagan approved compensation. Asked by reporters if such payment would send the wrong signal, he replied, "I don't ever find compassion a bad precedent."
The principle of revenge is so much simpler to practice. Yet compassion is Christ's way... a deep caring for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the whole person. It reveals the heart of God for sinful people... for you and for me.
The feeding of the 5,000 was a miracle born out of compassion. Jesus was moved by both the physical and spiritual needs of the people (Matthew 14:14; Mark 6:34). He was not content just to teach them and then send them on their way. As Christians, we must look at the whole person through the eyes of Jesus Christ. Being moved by compassion always sends the right signal.

(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
For he that is not against us is on our part (for us). - Mark 9:40. References from Mark 9:30-50.
How do you help someone you love face the inevitability of your own death? An aging parent or terminally ill spouse faces this difficult challenge. Jesus also faced it as He moved into the final stage of His ministry. In order to prepare the disciples for His impending death, Jesus passed through Galilee in secret. During the journey He warned His disciples that He would be betrayed, killed, and raised from the dead. This was the second time Jesus had publicly announced to the disciples that He would be crucified.
Although Jesus spoke plainly about His fate, the disciples were unable to understand His meaning. Perhaps they did not want to accept the possibility that the one they looked to as their Messiah would have to suffer or be lost. Although they could have asked Christ to clear up the confusion, they kept their reservations to themselves, choosing instead to debate with one another about which of them was the greatest disciple. Before the disciples would be prepared to face Christ's death, it was necessary that they recognize its significance.
Jesus' death on the cross was a sacrifice. It is the only counter balance that God accepts for sin. His death was also a model. Those who have been filled with the holy Spirit, must use Christ as their example. Those who see Christ only as a sacrifice may treat His death lightly, enjoying its benefits without accepting the responsibility that comes with being a follower of Christ.
As Jesus prepared His followers for ministry after the cross, He focused on the importance of humility. Those who recognize Christ as the source of their salvation through the anointing spirit, will seek to serve rather than be served. The Christian life is not a beauty contest in which believers compete against one another for a crown. Those who are most prominent in the kingdom are those who are most interested in serving others.
Trusting in Treasures
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence; If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;... This also were an iniquity tobe punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above. Job 31:24, 25, 28.
Before the Sabeans raided Job's oxen and donkeys, the Chaldeans stole his camels and fire from heaven burned up his sheep, Job had been a very wealthy man, but he was also wise enough to know that these were not the things in which he should place his trust. In fact, had he done so, he would have been worthy of all the affliction he experienced.
It would have made him guilty of denying God the most important place in his life. Wealth is not wrong, but how we view our possessions can be very wrong. Christians must realize that everything we have is a gift from the Lord. When what we have received becomes more important than the One who gave it, we have fallen into the trap of idolatry. We are putting possessions ahead of the Lord. Our security then rests not in whom we belong to but in what belongs to us.
You may not consider yourself wealthy. Most people don't. But whether you have a lot or a little, your attitude toward what you do possess may be causing you to stumble. Examine your heart. Are your possessions a tool to be used for God's calling or an asset (idol) in which you trust?
