If life were measured by accomplishments, most of us would die in infancy.If your life is ever going to get better, you'll have to take risks. There is simply no way you can grow without taking chances.
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.

Personal Story Of The Day
The Difference A Friend Can Make
Even while suspicion ran high, Paul grew more and more powerful. Then he had to escape those who plotted to kill him. He traveled to Jerusalem and "tried to join the disciples, but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he really was a disciple" (Act 9:26). They all stayed away from him, except Barnabas. He came alongside Saul, listened to his story and defended him before the apostles.
After that Paul was able to stay with the disciples and move about freely, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. The brothers who feared Paul became his protectors when the Jews tried to kill him. What brought about the change? The friendship of one man, Barnabas. He was willing to take the risk, to get to know Paul and speak to his defence. Later, Barnabas and Saul were sent by the church at Antiochto be the first missionaries. How different the story of the early church might have been if not for Barnabas!
Jokes Of The Day
"My wife is an interior decorator. She wants to get rid of me because I clash with the drapes."************************************
The best defense against the atom bomb is not to be there when it goes off.
The difference between a violin and a viola is that a viola burns longer.
Long lines of people were waiting at the Pearly Gates to have their credentials checked before gaining admittance. St Peter was supervising. Two old priests were standing near the head of one line when St Peter suddenly rushed towards the back and brought an attractive blonde to the front. There was no checking anything, she was allowed straight through.
The priests looked at each other wondering. St Peter said, "Six months ago she bought a bright red sports car. Since then she's put the fear of God into more people than you have in your whole lives."
A man went to a Catholic hospital for surgery on his throat. When he came to afterwards, a nun was sitting by his bed. "We'll need to talk about how you are going to pay for this operation." She said. "Have you any money with you?" "No." he croaked. "Any savings?" "No." "What about relatives who could help?" "My only sister is a spinster. She's a nun." he replied.
At this the nun drew herself up and indignantly said, "We are not spinsters! We're married to God!"
"Well," the man said, "if you want the money, ask my brother-in-law."

The Lamaze class was in full swing. The instructor was teaching the women how to breathe properly, along with informing the men how to give the necessary assurances at this stage of the plan.
The teacher then announced, "Ladies, exercise is good for you. Walking is especially beneficial. And, gentlemen, it wouldn't hurt you to take the time to go walking with your partner!"
The room got really quiet. Finally, a man in the middle of the group raised his hand.
"Yes," replied the teacher.
"Is it alright if she carries a golf bag while we walk?"

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Righteousness Alone Is Not Enough
Judge me, O LORD; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the LORD; therefore I shall not slide. Psalm 26:1. References from Psalm 26.
Constant complaining can harm our health. There is no action, just anger, aggression and bitterness. Chronic complainers put themselves in a heightened mood state that disrupts the physiology of their body. There is a higher risk of heart disease associated with anger and hostility. People who complain a lot see themselves as victims. They are prone to an increased sense of hopelessness, which is tied to stress and depression. The antidote for a complaining or bitter spirit is trust in the Lord, especially in His justice.
Rather than worrying or becoming angry, we should follow David's example in today's psalm and pray for justification. His prayer is neatly summarized in verse 1, which is also our verse for today.
The request... justice.
The doer... God.
The basis... the innocence and faith of the psalmist.
The plea of innocence was not a proud or blind one, for David confessed his sinfulness in other psalms. Here he invited God to examine him, preferred God's house over the assembly of evil doers, and cited righteous actions as evidence of his worshipful heart. He didn't claim perfection, only a certainty that what he was suffering was undeserved. Assuming God accepted his claim, and assuming His sovereign power as well, David renewed his prayer for vindication.
David's righteousness could not save him... he needed the mercy and redemption of the Lord (v11). Verse 12 is a beautiful, confident conclusion: My foot standeth in an even place: in the congregations will I bless the LORD... Even ground is smooth; there are no hidden holes or stumbling blocks. In the same way, God's justice is the most secure place to take a stand.
Satisfaction Is Guaranteed
Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. Isaiah 55:1-2.
An anonymous author who had lived a very worldly life penned the following lines: "How foolishly I have employed myself! In what delirium has my life been passed! How I've wasted my life while the sun in its race and the stars in their courses have lent their beams... perhaps only to light me to perdition! I have pursued shadows and entertained myself with dreams. I might have grazed with the beasts of the field, or sung with the birds of the woods, to much better purposes than any for which I have lived."
What a contrast to those things which God has to offer. Not only are the portions from His table free and abundant, but most important, in the end they satisfy. Instead of regret, they result in joy and satisfaction. Jesus told the Samaritan woman at the well, Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life (John 14:4).
Israel had to learn this truth the hard way. In spite of Isaiah's pleas, the people chose to chase after material well-being and political security rather than turn their hearts to the Lord. In the end, they lost everything as they were carried away to Babylon. Are you looking for satisfaction? Then open your Bible and partake of the feast that God has spread for you. His promise is that when you reach the end of your life, you will never regret a moment that you have spent at His table. With God, satisfaction is always guaranteed.
Facts Of The Day
- Silkworms, offspring of moths, produce their highly-desirable, pricey silk, by spewing out thread from tiny holes in their jaws, which they use to spin into their egg-bearing cocoons. This entire production takes a mere 72 hours, during which time they produce between 500-1200 silken threads. These miniature, mulberry leaf-munching marvels lay, at minimum, 500 eggs each spring, thereby increasing the number of workers for the production line.
- A donkey, an ass, and a burro, are all the same name for the same beast. Jackass, is merely the name for a male ass, while jennett, not jillass, is the name for a female ass.
