" Statistics are often used as a drunk uses a light pole: For support rather than illumination. "Son, always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time.
People travel to wonder at the height of mountains, at the huge waves of the sea, at the long courses of rivers, at the vast compass of the ocean, at the circular motion of the stars; and they pass by themselves without wondering.

Personal Story Of The Day
Greed Is Not So Good
But the Bible commands us to 'trust in God, not in uncertain riches' (1 Timothy 6:17). Paul told Timothy that the way to overcome greed is to flee from it and to pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness (1 Timothy 6:11). And those who are rich in this present age, who have more than is needed, should be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share (v17-18).
Contentment and generosity are the opposite of greed (v6-8). As we learn to thank God for what we have and freely share it with others, we stop trying to fill the spiritual vacuum in our heart with natural things. And when we love Christ more than money and possessions, we find that He is the greatest treasure of our lives. We discover that pleasing Him is the source of genuine satisfaction. This world is still learning the hard way!
Jokes Of The Day
An Army base staff that was planning war games did not want to use live ammunition. Instead they informed the men: "In place of a rifle, you go 'Bang, bang'. In place of a knife you go, 'Stab, stab'.In place of a hand grenade you go, 'Lob, lob.'"
The game was in progress when one of the soldiers saw one of the enemy. He went, "Bang, bang," but nothing happened. He ran forward and went "Stab, stab" but nothing happened. He ran back and went "Lob, lob,"but nothing happened. Finally he walked up to the enemy and said, "You are not playing fair. I went, 'Bang, bang,' and 'Stab, stab,' and 'Lob, lob,' and you haven't fallen dead yet!"
The enemy responded, "Rumble, rumble. I'm a tank."
************************************
A fellow from Brisbane walks into the gym, hops on the treadmill, and asks the trainer if he'd like to hear a good Sydney joke.
"Listen mate," he growled. "See those 2 big guys on your left? They were both backs in the blues state of origin side. And that huge fellow on your right was a world-class wrestler at Sydney Olympics. That guy in the corner was Paramattas all-time champion weight lifter. And I specialised in 3 disciplines at Sydney's sports academy. Now, are you absolutely positive you want to go ahead and tell your joke here?"
"Nah, guess not," the man replied. "I wouldn't want to have to explain it 5 times."
************************************
A terrific explosion occurs in a gunpowder factory, and once all the mess has been cleared up the inquiry begins. One of the few survivors is pulled up to make a statement. "Okay Simpson," says the investigator, "you were near the scene, what happened?"
"Well, it's like this. Old Charley Higgins was in the mixing room, and I saw him take a cigarette out of his pocket and light up."
"He was smoking in the mixing room?" the investigator said in stunned horror, "How long had he been with the company?"
"About 20 years, sir"
"20 years in the company, then he goes and strikes a match in the mixing room, I'd have thought it would have been the last thing he'd have done."
"It was, sir."

Riddle Of The Day
In what sport do the winners go backwards while losers go forwards?Answer to Yesterdays Riddle
It starts out with four, if you cut one off 3 fall down and 5 remain. What is it ?
the answer is a square. In the beginning a square has 4 corners and if you cut off one corner than 3 corners fall to the ground because you have cut the one corner off in the shape of a triangle with 3 sides. What is left is your square minus the one corner in the shape you have cut off and now your square has 5 corners. Try it with a piece of paper!
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
Preparing The Blessings
Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: Colossians 1:13. References from Exodus 12:1-42.
There's something very appealing about rescue operations, the greatest of which is in the book of Exodus. Here we see a developing pattern of God's saving grace. Just as He chose one man, Abraham, through whom He would bless all the peoples of the earth; He has also chosen this nation, Israel. However, before this nation could become a blessing, they would have to be freed from natural captivity. Exodus 12 is really the summary of the first eleven chapters, which record the efforts of Satan to block God's plans and leadership.
The book opens with the cruel plot to crush the Jews through forced labour (1:11), but the Jews continued to increase. Then the Pharaoh ordered the murder of all Jewish baby boys, but God intervened again (1:15-20). The story of Moses' birth (Ex 2) is an entire rescue operation in itself! God's protection of His people is linked to His covenant promise to Abraham (Ex 3:13-17). Exodus 12 describes the final plague. Although this plague was to fall upon every firstborn in Egypt, the Lord provided a substitution for the Israelites: a spotless yearling lamb, whose blood was to be spread around the outside door frame (v7). In this way, the plague would pass over the Israelite households (v22).
As we read this account, it can be difficult to see how this was a blessing to the nation of Egypt. But notice that many other people, presumably Egyptians, left with the Israelites (v38). They likely saw the power of God and wanted to join His people... God made a way for all repentant people, no matter who they were. Keep in mind also that God's purpose for rescuing the Israelites was to make them a great nation that would be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, including Egypt.
God's Banner Over Me
And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovah nissi (Jehovah is my banner): For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. Exodus 17:15-16.
Queen Elizabeth II of England had three royal residences (Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle and the Palace of Holyrood) plus two private homes. This could be confusing for those who want to find her except for one important fact: the queen's banner always flies over whichever residence she is currently occupying. If her banner of blue and gold is on the flagpole, the queen is sure to be present.
Moses also had a banner. After the battle with the army of Amalek, he built an altar and called it "The Lord Is My Banner." Moses wanted everyone to know that God was in residence with His people. Despite the attacks of the Amalekites, God would never desert the people of Israel. Generation after generation could look up and know that the Lord was present in their midst.
As Christians, we should raise the Lord's banner over our lives. No matter how difficult our situation becomes, God will not abandon His residence (our bodies are now the temple, residence, of the Holy Spirit). The apostle John declared, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14). And Jesus said, "I am with you always, even to the end of the age" (Matt 28:20). If the King is present, His banner should fly.
Is it obvious to those around you that the King is in residence in your life? Make sure that His flag, coloured with faith, hope and love, flies high over the castle of your life. It's a privilege to fly that banner; it's a shame not to.
