I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. I got to thinking one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. How many women out there will eat at home because their...........

The assessor approached with weary tread

And knocked at a farmhouse door,

"Not much value here," he said,

The surroundings looked very poor.

The room he entered was cozy and warm,

The couple were aged and gray,

from his portfolio he selected a form

And said in a business way.

"I'm here to appraise your property, sir,

to determine your wealth, you see.

I'm the assessor, I might infer,

Will you answer some questions for me?'.........

Beautiful Tax Time

Did you know that the space program is busy proving that what has been called “myth” in the Bible is true? Mr. Harold Hill, President of the Curtis Engine Company in Baltimore Maryland, and a consultant in the space program, relates the following development: I think one of the most amazing things that God has for us today happened recently to our astronauts and space scientists at Green Belt, Maryland. They were checking the position of the sun, moon, and planets out in space where they would be, 100 years and 1000 years from now. We have to know this so we won’t send a satellite up and..............

A young lady named Sally relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says that Dr. Smith was known for his elaborate object lessons. One particular day, Sally walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day. On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts. Dr. Smith told the students to draw a picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry, and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture. Sally's friend drew a picture of who had stolen her boyfriend. Another friend drew a picture of his little brother. Sally ............

Put The Glass Down

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management. He demonstrated the weight of water. He raised a glass of water and asked the audience,"How heavy would you guess this glass of water is?" The students answered between 5 ounces & 500 mg. "It does not matter on the absolute weight. It depends on how long you hold it. "If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. "If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm.

"If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance., "It is the exact same weight in each case, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." The lesson . . ."If we carry our ........

Thanks for visiting!

And have a great and blessed day!

There was once a bridge that spanned a large river. During most of the day the bridge sat with its length running up and down the river paralleled with the banks, allowing ships to pass through freely on both sides of the bridge. But at certain times each day, a train would come along and the bridge would be turned sideways across the river, allowing the train to cross it.

A switchman sat in a shack on one side of the river where he operated the controls to turn the bridge and lock it into place as the train crossed.

One evening as the switchman was waiting for the last train of the day to come, he looked off.........

Now there was a famine in the land ... The Lord appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while. I will be with you and bless you." Genesis 26:1-3 NIV

When famine hit the land, Isaac's first inclination was to leave. But the Lord clearly told him to stick it out. When "famine" occurs in our lives, our reactions are the same: "I've got to get out of here" or "I must not be in God's will." Yet if we run prematurely, we miss the opportunity to experience God's provision and blessing. .......

This is a story about a little girl who, on the way

home from church, turned to her mother and

said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon this

morning confused me."

The mother said, "Oh! Why is that?"

The girl replied, "Well, he said that God is

bigger than we are. Is that true?"

"Yes, that's true," the mother replied.

"He also said that God lives within us. Is that true too?"

Again the mother replied, "Yes."

"Well," said the girl, "If God is bigger than us,

and He lives in us, wouldn't He show..…...

Spring on a Sunday afternoon we took one of our "nowhere" drives thru the country. My husband was quietly driving along some back roads. I was occupied in the front passenger seat watching out the window as the scenery went by. I noticed out of the corner of my eye that my husband was straining to look out my window. This startled me, since his eyes should be on the road in front of him. I asked him what he was looking at out the windows, and he quietly replied, "Nothing. " He could have said he was looking for pine tree crosses for Easter. His eyes went back to the road in front of him. After a few minutes, I looked over at my husband and noticed a tear running..........

One day I hopped into a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car moved out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches. The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck".He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around.............
