I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we gave it to kids as gifts? What if we used it when we traveled? What if we used it in case of emergency? This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible? ........

Cell Phone vs. Bible

I am sorry, but you just don't see

there's so much that depends on me.

There's family, friends and so much more

my time's not mine, not anymore.

It isn't that I don't want to find

that part of my day, that special time

to spend with you and let you know

how much I really love you so.

But there will be time. I know there will

when quiet will come and things are still.

When I can sit and talk with you,

believe me, that's what I want to do.

But, the phone is ringing, my beeper............

Father I Will Find Time

In 1967 while taking a class in photography at the University of Cincinnati, I became acquainted with a young man named Charles Murray who also was a student at the school and training for the summer Olympics of 1968 as a high diver. Charles was very patient with me as I would speak to him for hours about Jesus Christ and how He had saved me.

Charles was not raised in a home that attended any kind of church, so all that I had to tell him was a fascination to him. He even began to ask questions about forgiveness of sin...............

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift. When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it......... ......

Steve Reinhard tells a heartwarming story about a little girl who walked home from school every day. The quickest way home for her was through the town's cemetery. It was her favorite time of day. She loved to feel the breeze in her hair and to watch the birds. Sometimes she just threw herself on the soft, green grass and watched clouds turn into castles and angels and great white stallions. As she skipped around grave stones, she whistled her favorite tune or sang a song. Other times, she liked to kneel down and read the names and dates on gravestones, and to glide her fingers across the engraved lettering.She particularly enjoyed those walks through the graveyard. ..............

The thing that has pulled me through it all has been having an Attitude of Gratitude.

When I read the issue “why me,” I wanted to share with you what I have learned to do for myself each and every day. To keep an Attitude of Gratitude at all times, I have learned to have a “Gratitude Prayer” once a day. I have this prayer just before laying down for the night. I do nothing in it by pray my thankfulness for things that I am grateful for on that particular day. When I first started this practice, my prayers were very short. As the years have passed, they have become a time of peace each day that I look forward to as I share...... .......

The story tells about a mountain climber, who wanted to climb the highest mountain. He begun his adventure after many years of preparation but since he wanted the glory just for himself, he decided to climb the mountain alone. The night felt heavy in the heights of the mountain, and the man could not see anything. All was black, zero visibility and the moon and stars were covered by the clouds. As he was climbing only a few feet away from the top of the mountain he slipped and fell into the air. Falling at a great speed, the climber could only see black spots as he went down, and the terrible sensation of being sucked..............

When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and I wanted to paint another one. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you feed a stray cat, and I learned that it was good to be kind to animals.

When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard you say a prayer, and I knew there is a God I could always talk to and I learned to trust Him. When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you make a meal and take it to a friend who was sick, and I learned that we all have to help take care of each other. When you thought I wasn't looking........

When You Thought I Wasn't Looking

A Different View

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy.........

Please take a moment to relax your mind and humble your heart to focus on Christ. Allow God, to be the only person on your mind while you read this prayer. If we can take the time to read long jokes, stories, etc., we should give the same respect to this prayer. Friends that pray together, stay together. Let's pray...

I thank You for this day. I thank You for my being able to see and to hear this morning. I'm blessed because You are a forgiving God and an understanding God. You have done so much for me and You keep on blessing me. Forgive me this day for everything I have done, said or.............
