The light of a hundred stars doesn't equal the light of the moon.Some people make headlines while others make history.
You've got to sing like you don't need the money, love like you'll never get hurt. You've got to dance like no one is watching. It's gotta come from the heart, if you want it to work.

Personal Story Of The Day
What Are Your Realities?The bible tells us that... 'faith is... the evidence (reality) of things not seen'. (Heb 11:1). What realities can we be sure of? There is a popular notion about prayer which assumes that the things asked for ought to be the object of our faith... "Lord, give me this or that," wherefore "this" and "that" become the realities. So we end up measuring reality by prayers that get answered rather than God and his purposes... this is wrong.
The Bible already states the absolutes that we can be certain of... the character of God, his love for us at a personal level, his will that we be conformed to his Son's likeness and his sovereign control of all the universe. When faith is built on to these realities which we do not see with our eyes, it can never be confounded. If our faith depends on the things we ask for, faith itself will dissolve if the Lord's answer is no, or not yet, or wait.
Build your faith on those things which are certain and exercise your faith on those things which are uncertain... the best results will always follow, and a sense of failure or weakness will never develop. In fact, the opposite is true for all overcomers. 'Unanswered' prayer leads to a greater faith that always bears fruit after the initial disappointment is past. "In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion." (Ps 71:1).
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
Making Your free time work.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. Colossians 3:2. References from Colossians 2:20-3:2.
At this point in our study, we understand clearly that our leisure and free time choices matter to God, that they cultivate fruit and have spiritual consequences, that they require wisdom, and that they, like all of life, are part of how we walk with the Lord. There is no neutral ground, no corner of life we may selfishly reserve for our personal pleasures. Free time is not free from our calling as servants of God.
Based on the above verses, then, how can we summarise several key principles we've studied about Godly leisure? One certainty is that in our pursuit of genuine rest, beauty, and pleasure, we need to leave behind worldliness and legalism. In Paul's words, Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules: 'Do not handle! Do not taste! Do not touch!? (2:20-21). Worldliness and legalism are merely human and completely useless for discipleship.
We, on the other hand, want a life based on truths and practices that are eternal, divine, and effective in our ongoing spiritual journeys. Therefore, we are to live life, including leisure, according to two principles: Set your hearts on things above and Set your minds on things above (3:12).
These imperatives suggest that our whole being... including thoughts, feelings, desires, goals, and efforts... must be devoted to God's ways.
In reality, there is nothing else.
When Is It Enough?
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers. 1 Kings 19:4.
Many are unaware that the famous Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh once felt called to be an evangelist. He had grown up in a religious home and in 1878, at the age of 24, enrolled in a school for evangelism in Brussels. After graduating, he preached for a year. Then for reasons unknown, van Gogh forsook his call. In 1889 he began to paint like a driven man, finishing 200 paintings in two years.
Then at age 37, confused, impoverished and ill, he borrowed a gun and ended his life. He decided he had had enough.
Elijah, too, reached the point in his life when he felt it was enough. Rather than commit suicide, however, he asked God to take his life. But God had other plans for Elijah. He knew that some of the prophet's greatest successes still lay ahead of him: anointing the king of Syria and the king of Israel, training Elisha as his successor, and miraculously crossing the Jordan on a dry river bed. Instead of taking his life, God strengthened him and sent Elijah back to active duty.
Since our rewards in heaven are based on the faith-based deeds of our lives right now (2 Cor 5:10), all missed opportunities will mean an eternal loss unless prayed about. Therefore, while life may become discouraging, it is always too soon to say, "Enough!" Perhaps you feel like saying, "It is enough!" You may not be tempted to take your life, but you may feel like you no longer want to walk with the Lord.
God understands, and if you place your life completely in His loving hands, He can give you the power and desire to start over. Who knows? God may have the most productive years of your life planned for your future.
Facts Of The Day
- The declawing of a pet cat involves surgery called an onychectomy, in which the entire claw and end bone of each toe of the animal are amputated. Cat owners considering it should know that it's a controversial operation, with potential adverse physical and psychological effects on the cat.
- Heinrich W. Brandes made the first weather map in 1815, based on data gathered in 1783. Brandes waited so long because it was the only way he could be certain the information was correct.
