Daniel 8-10 ; 3 JohnThoughts For The Day
Fight for your opinions, but do not believe that they contain the whole truth, or the only truth."Grief can take care of itself, but to get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with."
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.

Jokes Of The Day
A minister was invited to dinner by a parishioner with a reputation as a poor housekeeper. Sure enough, he sat down at the dinner table to the dirtiest dishes he had ever seen."Have these dishes ever been washed?" he asked.
"They're as clean as Soap and Water could get them," she replied.
He was still apprehensive, but blessed the food anyway and started to eat. Her food was delicious, despite the dirty dishes.
But when dinner was over, the hostess put her plate on the floor beside her and yelled, "Here, Soap! Here, Water!"

************************************
A magician on a cruise liner had a parrot, who'd seen all the magician's tricks a jillion times,long ago having figured out the magic behind the magician's disappearing acts.The parrot got bored, his owner growing stale and not developing any new tricks that the parrot couldn't figure out.
One night in the middle of the magician's performance, the ship hit an iceberg and sank.
Everyone drowned except the magician and the parrot. The magician managed to swim to a piece of
wreckage and climb aboard, immediately collapsing from exhaustion.
Soon afterward, the parrot flew to the magician, perched on the edge of the makeshift raft
and stared at the magician. And stared. And stared.
For a whole day the magician was unconscious, and all this time the parrot didn't take his eyes off him. Eventually the magician started to stir. Looking up, he saw the parrot,
still eyeing him intently, not even blinking.
Another hour goes by, and finally the parrot squawks,
"Awright, I give up. What did you do with the ship?

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Advice About Reality
An entire performance of Rossini's opera, William Tell, lasts about six hours... more than most human voices, or ears, can endure. But its overture (basically the symphonic synopsis of the story) is likely the most well-known piece of music of its kind. It has four parts, all of which are fairly popular: the sunrise on the cello, the storm on the drums and brass, the peaceful pastoral scene by the English horn and flute, and the galloping call of the trumpet... the tune that gave the Lone Ranger his theme.
The four-part construction resembles the four seasons as it summarizes the entire six hour epic through its full circle of emotions in a matter of minutes. Today's verses do much the same thing for the book of Ecclesiastes. It's a string of wise sayings and observations that, in a sense, guide us through the author's entire view of life 'under the sun' ... the natural life. There are too many quips and phrases in this passage to cover them all today, so let's focus on a few. What political conservatives would love to use as a verse to condemn modernists (10:2) is really a statement noting how the wise man and the foolish man head in completely opposite directions.
That theme runs throughout this passage. Scattered along the way are some very good pieces of advice. Remain calm in the face of anger, even when its source is a powerful leader (10:4). There may be great temptation to storm away from an outburst, but calmly continuing in your duties can quiet the waters. Along the same line of respectful humility, don't show disrespect to your superiors, even when you think you're alone. In fact, we shouldn't let hatred enter our thoughts... such attitudes have a way of making themselves known (10:20).
Chapter 11 presents the conflict of two prevalent ideas of the book: enjoying life in our youth and being aware of the coming darkness (v8). Then chapter 12 slows down with a poetic description of life on earth coming to a gradual halt (v2-5) followed by a crescendo of prophetic doom (v6-8). The cries of Meaningless! (vanity) are desperate and mournful. But as the dust settles, we know that God has something more to say.
Keep Holding On!
For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 1 Thessalonians3:8.
Each of us has faced things that we thought we'd never be able to stand or get over. We are humans and humans tend to look to themselves for help. We want to be self-sufficient, and have control over all the aspects of our lives. It's very hard to say, I need help, and then ask for it.
I remember trying to help my children when they were young and hearing many times, "I can do it!" It didn't matter if the task was too big, they could 'still do it', or so they thought. But, as parents, we stood our ground, and finally helped the child accomplish what they had tried by themselves. Spiritually, we need help, at times. We need to be able to say, Lord, I need you more now than I've ever needed you.
Life isn't as easy as I thought, and I'm unable to control my life. We don't need to be ashamed to ask, and go in another direction. We need to hold fast to God, lean on His power to help us through tougher times. The enemy comes at us from all sides, and we need the armour of God to protect us from the enemy. 'With God all things are possible'. [Matthew 19:26]
