Scripture Of The Day
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalms 32:22.Read The Bible In a Year
Numbers 9-11; Mark 5:1-20.Thoughts For The Day
God is a strong tower and they that seek shelter in Him shall find peace, even in the storms of life.A burden of love is like carrying a basket of flowers. Its fragrance lifts the spirit of the bearer, and all who it falls upon. Galatians6:2 'Bear ye one another's burdens,and so fullfil the law of Christ.'
The reward of a thing well done is to have done it.

Personal Story Of The Day
Heavenly VPN
The Internet is one of the most remarkable developments of our time. How astounding that with a few keystrokes you can find out the address of Uncle Frank in the North Pole, or the recipe for a Brazilian fish dish, or the statistics for your favourite athlete. Of course, the Internet opens up a whole world of sinful choices as well. That's why many Internet providers offer a service to protect a family's computer from sites that promote immorality, drugs, violence, etc.
One VPN company used a comical-looking man dressed as a butterfly to represent the service, and in an advertisement showed him shielding children from various immoral activities. Christians already have a similar resource, and it doesn't cost us a monthly fee. It's not the butterfly man... it's the Holy Spirit, who lives in the heart of each believer.
As we seek guidance and strength from God's Word and pray, He will enable us to detect and filter out all unsuitable desires and temptations. He can help us to keep from going where we shouldn't go, doing what we shouldn't do, and saying what we shouldn't say.
The world, like the Internet, has much we need to avoid. We might be able to shut down the internet, but we can't shut down the world... therefore it is wiser to learn to manage it, seeing these skills and acts of disciplined faith will flow over into other areas. As we daily seek to "walk in the Spirit," relying on His wisdom and power, we can stay clean.
Jokes Of The Day
Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. How old are you?.... "I'm four and a half" .... You're never 36 and a half .... you're four and a half going on five!That's the key. You get into your teens, now they can't hold you back. You jump to the next number. How old are you? "I'm gonna be 16." You could be 12, but you're gonna be 16.
And then the greatest day of your life happens .... you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony .... you BECOME 21 ... YES!!!
But then you turn 30 .... ooohhh what happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk .... He TURNED, we had to throw him out. There's no fun now.
What's wrong?? What changed?? You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, then you're PUSHING 40 ..... stay over there, it's all slipping away ........
You BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50 ..... and your dreams are gone.
Then you MAKE IT to 60 ..... you didn't think you'd make it!!!!
So you BECOME 21, you TURN 30, you're PUSHING 40, you REACH 50, you MAKE IT to 60 ...... then you build up so much speed you HIT 70!
After that, it's a day by day thing. After that, you HIT Wednesday .... You get into your 80's, you HIT lunch. My grandmother won't even buy green bananas .... it's an investment you know, and maybe a bad one.
And it doesn't end there .... into the 90's you start going backwards .... I was JUST 92 ...
Then a strange thing happens. If you make it over 100, you become a little kid again .... "I'm 100 and a half!!!!"

I ate too much Turkey, I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie.
I'm stuffed up with muffins and too much stuffin'
I'm probably going to die.
I piled up my plate and I ate and I ate.
But I wish I had known when to stop,
For I'm so crammed with yams, sauces, gravies, and jams
That my buttons are starting to pop!
I'm full of tomatoes and french fried potatoes
My stomach is swollen and sore,
But there's still some dessert so I guess it won't hurt if
I eat just a little bit more!

Why didn't the husband report his stolen credit card?
Because the thief was spending less than his wife did.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Making Your free time work.
For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles. 1 Peter 4:3. References from Ephesians 2:1-3; 1 Peter 4:1-6.
How materialistic are we? At the start of 2004 Christmas shopping season, a woman was trampled by a crowd intent on grabbing DVD players on sale at an electrical Store. She was the first person in line, but when the store opened the other shoppers rushed forward and knocked her to the ground.
When paramedics arrived, they found her unconscious. Only a few people had tried to help her... most continued their urgent business of buying a DVD player. Talk about consumerism gone crazy!
Greed and selfishness too often characterise the pursuit of pleasure in our culture. According to today's verse, this is the way we used to live before coming to the Lord; our present lifestyle and activities, including leisure, should be much different. What were we like before we were saved? Disobedient, dead in our sins, followers of the world and Satan. Our only goal was fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind (Eph 2:3).
We lived for our own desires, not God's will, and so were objects of His righteous wrath. Too much time was wasted on such things... non godly activities need to be replaced by spiritual service. We should act like people who know better and will one day give a good account to God (1 Peter 4:1, 5). Without God, all human desires become self-centred and sinful. By being alienated from God, we were alienated from understanding and pursuing true pleasures.
To live according to God is not a tedious and boring life. Rather, it's a calling back to the responsibilities and sustainable pleasures of doing what God has created us to be and do (1 Peter 4:6).
A Mother who is pregnant begins to bond with that child long before it is born. The first movements gives her a feeling that no other person could know. It's something beyond words. And, when that child is born, love surrounds the child. Hopefully, that child will grow up to be a loving adult. Most parents shower their children with gifts.
Most of them are given just because we love our children and want them to have good things, perhaps those things we never had when we were growing up.
But some give gifts because they think that will make a child love them more. But gifts can't buy love. It may make a child say they love you, but when the gift is worn out, do they ask for more? Then, when you can't give them more, do they still love you (that is, do they appreciate you just as much as when you give presents)? Humans look at love so differently than our Heavenly Father.
It's not enough for us to just LOVE someone. We think we have to show love in materialistic ways. God showed us with the most unselfish kind of love there ever could be: He sent His ONLY SON to earth to die for our sins so that we might have eternal life.
That is the kind of LOVE that God wants us to exhibit in our everyday lives... unselfish love, the kind of love that money can't buy. No gift can give you this kind of love. It's demonstrated in a Mother's touch, a loving hug, a special look between people, the need to be with someone... love that can't be bought! We should strive to love the Heavenly way, as our Father did so many years ago. It wouldn't be hard to imagine the tears that could have fallen when He sent His Son, and then had to see Him die on the cross.
We would never be able to cope seeing our child that way, but we can ask God to give us that kind of love... the love it takes to bond to each other.
Facts Of The Day
In early America, simple wooden beds and straw mattresses were the rule in all but the wealthiest of homes. American inns during the Revolutionary War era were not lush or comfortable, and an innkeeper would think nothing of requesting that a guest share his bed with a stranger when accommodations became scarce.
