Personal Story Of The Day
You Just Never Know
An embellished story based on some actual facts... A couple, who we shall call John and Mary, had a nice home and two lovely children, a boy and a girl. John had a good job and had just been asked to go on a business trip to another state and would be gone for several days. It was decided that Mary needed an outing and would go along too.
They looked for a reliable friend to care for the children and set off, but returned home a little earlier than planned. As they drove into their local area feeling glad to be back, they noticed smoke, and they took a detour to see what it was.
They found a home in flames. Mary said, "Oh well it isn't our fire, let's go home." But John drove closer and exclaimed, "That is Johny Watson's house; he is also working interstate... let's see if we can help." "It has nothing to do with us." Protested Mary. "You have your good clothes on; let's not get any closer." But John drove up and stopped and they were both horror stricken to see the whole house now in flames.
A woman on the lawn was in hysterics screaming, "The children! Get the children!" John grabbed her by the shoulder asking, "where are the children?" "In the basement," sobbed the woman, "down the hall and to the left."
In spite of Mary's protests John grabbed the hose and soaked his clothes, put his wet handkerchief on his head and rushed for the basement which was full of smoke and scorching hot. He found the door and grabbed two children, holding one under each arm like the football player he was.
As he left he could hear some more whimpering. He delivered the two badly frightened and nearly suffocated children into waiting arms and filled his lungs with fresh air and started back, asking how many more children were down there. They told him two more and Mary grabbed his arm and screamed, "John! Don't go back! It's suicide! That house will cave in any second!" But he shook her off and went back by feeling his way down the smoke filled hallway and into the room.
It seemed an eternity before he found both children and started back. All three were coughing as he stooped low to get what available air he could. As he stumbled up the endless steps the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely familiar about the little bodies clinging to him, and at last when they came out into the sunlight and fresh air, he found that he had just rescued his own children. The baby-sitter had left them at their friend's home while she attended to personal business.
Jokes Of The Day
After the church service a little boy told the pastor, 'When I grow up, I'm going to give you some money.' 'Well, thank you,' the pastor replied, 'but why?' 'Because my daddy says you're one of the poorest preachers we've ever had.'************************************
A father was at the beach with his children when his four-year-old son ran up to him, grabbed his hand, and led him to the shore, where a seagull lay dead in the sand. 'Daddy, what happened to him?' the son asked 'He died and went to Heaven,' the dad replied. The boy thought a moment and then said, 'Did God throw him back down?'

True tales of the people who walk among us...
Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old
fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a sign on it saying:
"Free to good home. You want it, you take it."
For three days the fridge sat there without even one person looking
twice at it.
He eventually decided that people were too un-trusting of this deal.
It looked too good to be true, so he changed the sign to read: "Fridge
for sale $50." The next day someone stole it.

Riddle Of The Day
This is an ancient Latin riddle. Can you figure it out?A prickly house a little host contains; The pointed weapons keep back from pains, So he, unarmed, safe in his fort remains.
Answer to Yesterday's Riddle
My teeth are sharp, I'm ready to feed, I come out at night, To fulfil my need, There are movies about me, I can be seen on T.V., I can hunt by myself, And my prey almost always flees. What am I?
A Vampire or Vampire Bat.
Devotional Thoughts Of The Day
From Faith To Faith
And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, References from Hebrews 11:1-16; 39-12:3
Hebrews 11 is known as the Chapter of Faith in Scripture. Yet interestingly, we don't see a list of items to believe in. Instead, we see a list of people who demonstrated their faith through their obedience to God. This passage reveals that faith is not just a matter of mentally agreeing to certain propositions. Faith is the willingness to stake our entire lives on God's promises. Faith means living a certain way... as if what God has said is true.
Note that these Old Testament saints lived in faith, and yet still didn't receive the fullness of the promise in their lifetimes (v39). What was this promise that we have but they didn't? We now have the Holy Spirit. We have His power in us to produce the fruit of faithfulness, so that our lives can reflect what we say that we believe. After giving us a dramatic presentation of biblical heroes who exhibited faith, the author of Hebrews urges us to continue to press forward in our Christian lives.
We are called to run with perseverance, and are encouraged not to grow weary and lose heart (12:1, 3). This implies that our Christian race will not always be easy. Living in faith will require us to make sacrifices and face challenges. To further encourage us, though, the author presents the greatest model of faith: Jesus Himself. He has endured more than we will ever face, and He accomplished His work (v2).
Free Through The Blood
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace; Ephesians 1:7.
Many wars have been fought and will continue to be fought, blood will be spilt and lives will be lost... for what cause? So people can be free!! The freedom of men is short lived and temporary... but there is a lasting freedom available. There is one who shed His blood for us freely. His precious blood ran freely from his wounds, down the cross, and to the ground.
He gave His life willingly that we could have freedom from Satan's wiles and live through the merciful Grace of God. God was willing to give up His only Son, that we might have freedom from the bondage of sin. He loves us that much, that He would do that so everybody would have the chance to live eternity with Him. Satan may attack, but he has no power over the Christian who walks in the power of the Holy Spirit.
The blood of Christ has made the Holy Spirit a free choice and given us the freedom to serve God's plan through the same power. We have been made free, free to worship Him in Word and Spirit, free to live our lives for Christ's purposes.
