Personal Story Of The Day
The Bible Is Today's News
Once again, archaeology bears testimony to the truthfulness of Scripture. Our belief in the authenticity of the Bible does not depend on scientific research but on its claim to be God's Word. As 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us, "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God." We can therefore have complete confidence in what it says. It's a fact... the walls of Jericho did indeed fall. The Bible stands!
Jokes Of The Day
Honorable Secretary of AgricultureWashington, D.C.
Dear Sir;
My friend, Ed Peterson, over at Wells Iowa, received a check for $1,000 from the government for not raising hogs. So, I want to go into the "not raising hogs" business next year.
What I want to know is, in your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to raise hogs on, and what is the best breed of hogs not to raise? I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all governmental policies. I would prefer not to raise razorbacks, but if that is not a good breed not to raise, then I will just as gladly not raise Yorkshires or Durocs.
As I see it, the hardest part of this program will be in keeping an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven't raised.
My friend, Peterson, is very joyful about the future of the business. He has been raising hogs for twenty years or so, and the best he ever made on them was $422 in 1968, until this year when he got your check for $1000 for not raising hogs.
If I get $1000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2000 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 4000 hogs not raised, which will mean about $80,000 the first year. Then I can afford an airplane.
Now another thing, these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that you also pay farmers for not raising corn and wheat. Will I qualify for payments for not raising wheat and corn not to feed the 4000 hogs I am not going to raise?
Also, I am considering the "not milking cows" business, so send me any information you have on that too.
In view of these circumstances, you understand that I will be totally unemployed and plan to file for unemployment and food stamps.
Be assured you will have my vote in the coming election.
Patriotically Yours,
PS: Would you please notify me when you plan to distribute more free cheese.

NORTH AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
FRENCH: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows.
JAPANESE: You have two cows. You redesign them to 1/10 the size of ordinary cows, producing 20 times the milk. You then create clever cow cartoons called Cowkimon and market them worldwide.
GERMAN: You have two cows, re-engineered so they'll live for 100 years, eat once a month and milk themselves.
BRITISH: You have two cows. Both are mad.
RUSSIAN: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You count them again and learn you have 42. You count them again and learn you have 12. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka.
SWISS: You have 5,000 cows. None belongs to you. You charge others for storing them.
HINDU: You have two cows. You worship them.
CHINESE: You have two cows and 300 people milking them. You claim full employment, high bovine productivity and arrest the newsman who questions the numbers.

Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
God Keeps His Promises
Thou art the God that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people. Psalm 77:14. References from Genesis 12:10-20.
Marital unfaithfulness is a major problem in modern American society. Newsweek recently estimated that 30 to 40 percent of all wives and 50 percent of all husbands have been unfaithful. Shamefully, a growing number of Web sites cater to this, offering everything from personal ads and discreet dating services to ready made excuses and authenticated cover stories to help explain one's absence.
God designed marriage, but we keep inventing ways to corrupt it. Abram certainly did so in the above verses, and that was just one of his sins in this episode. He also lied, profited from his lie, and dishonoured God and His covenant. It's difficult to believe we're still in the same chapter as yesterday! One problem was famine. Abram made a practical decision to go down to Egypt, where people seldom suffered from famine thanks to the Nile River. Another problem was his beautiful wife Sarai and the likelihood that the Egyptian king would decide to eliminate her husband and take her for himself.
So Abraham made another pragmatic decision... he instructed Sarai to lie (or deceive) in order to save his life. From a human point of view, everything worked out exactly according to plan. Not only did he live, he was showered with livestock and gifts. The real problem was Abram's lack of faith. The faith that had sent him on his amazing journey was now too weak to trust in God's power for protection, God's wisdom in planning, or God's provision for their needs.
Since Abram wasn't listening, God spoke directly to Pharaoh instead. He sent diseases to his court, showing divine displeasure and revealing Abram's lie. Since truthfulness was key to Egyptian ethics, Abram was thoroughly humiliated. Though Abram was faithless on this occasion, God remained faithful. When He promised to bless the nations (v3), He meant that He would reveal Himself to the world through Abram and his descendants. Though the patriarch fell down on the job, God still acted to make Himself known.
Before Abram left Egypt, Pharaoh and his court had learned that God was powerful, truth loving, and righteous. God keeps His promises!
God's Angels Come With A Message
And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: Genesis 18:2-3.
Abraham was very aware of the needs of those around him. When three strangers appeared in front of his tent, he was more than eager to extend hospitality to them. He could have thought, Surely someone who is less busy than I am will have compassion on them. But he didn't. Instead, he ran to meet them and begged for an opportunity to show hospitality to these travellers.
The Bible says that hospitality is to characterize the Christian life. In fact, it 's so important that it 's listed as one of the qualifications for anyone desiring a position of leadership in the church (1Tim 3:2, Titus 1:8). The writer of Hebrews reminded us not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels (Heb 13:2). Do yourself a favour: when you have opportunity to open your home to a troubled teenager or to support someone during tough spiritual times, do it! You never know when you might come across an angel... a person with an insight, revelation or enlightening piece of wisdom.
Some may exercise the fruit of hospitality, but we all have the responsibility.
