Scripture Of The Day
But thou, O LORD, shalt endure for ever; and thy remembrance unto all generations. Psalms 102:12.Read The Bible In a Year
Zechariah 13-14; Revelation 21.Thoughts For The Day
Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.Even though I have the right to be angry, but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.
One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is 'love'.

Personal Story Of The Day
A Memory Of Life
Twenty years ago, a friend drove a taxi for a living. When he arrived at 2:30 a.m., the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers would just toot once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But, he had seen too many impoverished people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. Unless a situation smelled of danger, he always went to the door.
This passenger might be someone who needs my assistance, he reasoned to himself. So he walked to the door and knocked. "Just a minute", answered a frail, elderly voice. He could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80's stood before him. She was wearing a print dress and a fashion hat with a veil pinned on it, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase. The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years.
All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no knick knacks or utensils on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware. "Would you carry my bag out to the car?" she asked. He took the suitcase to the taxi, then returned to assist the woman. She took his arm and they walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking him for his kindness. "It's nothing," he told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the wayI would want my mother treated." "Oh, you're such a good boy," she said.
When they got in the taxi, she gave him an address, then asked, "Could you drive through the city?" "It's not the shortest way," He answered quickly. "Oh, I don't mind," she said. "I'm in no hurry. I'm on my way to a hospice." he looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening. "I don't have any family left," she continued. "The doctor says I don't have very long."
He quietly reached over and shut off the metre "What route would you like me to take?" he asked. For the next two hours, they drove through the city. She showed him the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. They drove through the suburbs where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had him pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask him to slow down in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. As the first hint of sun was lighting the horizon, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now." They drove in silence to the address she had given him.
It was a low building, like a small convalescent home, with a driveway that passed under a portico. Two orderlies came out to the taxi as soon as they pulled up. They were careful and intent, watching her every move. They must have been expecting her. He opened the boot and took the small suitcase to the door. The woman was already seated in a wheelchair. "How much do I owe you?" she asked, reaching into her purse. "Nothing," he said. "You have to make a living," she answered. "There are other passengers," he responded.
Almost without thinking, he bent and gave her a hug. She held onto him tightly. "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy," she said. "Thank you." He squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light.
Behind him, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life. He didn't pick up any more passengers that shift. He drove aimlessly lost in thought. For the rest of that day, he could hardly talk. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver, or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if he had refused to take the job, or had tooted once, then driven away? On a quick review, he didn't think that the had done anything more important in his life.
We're conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware--beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one. There is nothing more precious than a human life. And even more so, when spirit filled.
Jokes Of The Day
An explosion killed a navy boilerman and he wound up in hell. Being used to stroking fires and extremely hot temperatures, he found hell actually quite comfortable. When satan went to check out the new arrival, he found him sitting in his room smiling. "You like this?", satan asked."Yes, sir", said the sailor, "this feels like a spring day to me."
Not wanting the new guy to be too comfortable, satan turned up the heat a lot. When he went back to see how his new arrival was doing, the sailor was still happy. He hadn't even broken a sweat.
"I like this kind of weather", he told satan. Satan decided to try something different. Rather than turn up the heat, he turned it off. He made the sailor's room form icicles. When he checked on the guy, the room was icy and he was shivering, but he had a grin from ear to ear.
"Why are you so happy?", satan demanded. "It's freezing in here!" "I'm from Queensland," said the sailor. "and this must mean the Broncos have won the NRL final!"

Two doctors and an medical insurance officer died and lined up at the pearly gates for admission to heaven. St. Peter asked them to identify themselves. One doctor stepped forward and said: "I was a pediatric spine surgeon and helped kids overcome their deformities."
St. Peter said, "You can enter."
The second doctor said "I was a psychiatrist. I helped people rehabilitate themselves."
St. Peter also invited him in.
The third applicant stepped forward and said, "I was a medical insurance officer and insured people got the health care they were entitled to."
St. Peter said, "You can come in too." But as the medical insurance officer walked by, St. Peter added, "You can stay three days. After that, you can go to hell."
************************************
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by
physicists. The element, tentatively named Administratum, has no
protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0.
However it does have:
1 neutron.
125 assistant neutrons
75 vice-neutrons
111 assistant vice-neutrons
This gives it an atomic mass of 312. The 312 particles are held
together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of
meson-like particles called morons.
Since it has no electrons, Administratum is inert. However, it
can be detected chemically as it impedes every action with which
it comes in contact. According to the discoverers, a minute amount
of Administratum causes one reaction to take four days to complete
when it would have normally occurred in less than one second.
Administratum has a normal half-life of approximately three years,
at which time it does not actually decay but instead undergoes a
reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and
assistant vice-neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown
that atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.
Research at other laboratories indicates that Administratum occurs
naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points
such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities,
and can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best
maintained buildings.
Scientists point out that Administratum is known to be toxic at any
level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction
where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine
how. Administratum can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage,
but results to date are not promising.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
A Small Test
As the boy thanked the pharmacist, the man said: "Just a minute, son... if you are looking for work, I could use a boy like you." "Thank you, sir, but I have a job," the boy replied. "But didn't I just hear you trying to get a job from Dr. Anderson? "No, sir," said the boy, "you see, I'm the boy who is working for Dr. Anderson. I was just checking up on myself."
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you... unless, of course, you fail the test?" (II Cor. 13:5). On a scale of 0-5 per question, grade yourself in these categories:
1. Prayer- do I daily enter into the Lord's presence, seeking His face as well as His hand, with a thankful heart?
2. Bible study - do I have a systematic study time in Scripture, so I can get a balanced diet of "daily bread?"
3. Deeds - do I offer assistance to others, in or out of my church?
4. Witnessing - do I regularly speak to others of the power of Christ?
5. Worship and fellowship - am I an active participant at church services, spending time with other saints?
6. Giving - do I regularly give the Lord the "firstfruit" (tithe) of my income, including my offerings?
7. Follow up - do I make efforts to teach and encourage new believers in the faith?
Score:30-35 points - Why aren't you in full-time ministry or evangelism? 20-29 points - Hey, have the new people met you yet?10-19 points - Are those your spiritual bones I hear creaking?1 - 9 points - Yawn... who woke you up? Knowing that God doesn't grade us by numbers, may motivate us to get busy doing His work!
And The Floods Came!
Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: 2 Peter 1:10.
It seems there are more and more places subject to floods than ever before, possibly brought on by man... we build, and perhaps don't take into account the way floods work, and before we know it, we are facing disaster. The Bible speaks of a particular flood... the one from which Noah saved his family. People were living their lives as they saw fit. They weren't listening to God, but doing their own thing.
We need to remember that God didn't want blind obedience devoid of reason, rather he wanted the human race to grow, be healthy and practice values that were sustainable... this they refused to do (threatening the very reason they were created in the first place).
So, God told Noah to build an ark and get his family on it, along with the animals. Then, GOD was going to bring a flood on the earth, and those that hadn't heeded God's voice would be caught out by the flood and lose their life. Disobedience can bring a 'flood of problems' in our lives. Obedience can erase those 'flood problems'. Noah obeyed; therefore, he and his family were all saved. Others disobeyed; therefore, they were lost.
In this uncertain world today, we need to 'make our election sure', that we hold on to what we know is truth... the Word of God, which gives us assurance of our entrance into the Kingdom of God for eternity. Let us not be overrun by today's 'flood'.
