My beautiful bride got on me the other day for not posting to our blog in quite a while. Been very busy. Anyway, nothing serious comes to mind as far as a legitimate topic to discuss, so I decided on a little humor.
Our sense of humor is among the things that sets us apart from animals. If we are truly made in the Lord's image, then obviously He has a sense of humor. The bible say to "make a joyful noise unto the Lord" and to "come before His presence with praise and gladness of heart." Sounds like laughter to me.
Please keep in mind I said "a little" humor (from the Web)....
Q. What kind of man was Boaz before he married Ruth?

Q. Who was the greatest financier in the Bible?
A. Noah He was floating his stock while everyone else
was in liquidation.
Q. Who was the greatest female financier in the
Bible?
A. Pharaoh's daughter. She went down to the bank of
the Nile and drew out a little prophet.
Q. What kind of motor vehicles are in the Bible?
A. Jehovah drove Adam and Eve out of the Garden in a
Fury. David's Triumph was heard throughout the land.
Also, probably a Honda, because the apostles were all
in one Accord.
Q. What excuse did Adam give to his children as to
why he no longer lived in Eden ?

Q. Which servant of God was the most flagrant
lawbreaker in the Bible?

Q. Why didn't they play cards on the Ark?

PS. Did you know it's a sin for a woman to make
coffee?
Yup, it's in the Bible. It says . . ... "He-brews"

God's Glue
It is not uncommon for sermons and other Christian devotional/inspirational messages to use scientific concepts. But this information my beautiful bride Ann shared with me is absolutely awesome. It is laminin glycoprotine. Wow!

Let Not Your Heart Be Troubled
Hey guys....
Stock market down, down, down. Oil prices down and gas at the pumps up? Higher taxes, layoffs, cutting back, every day stress, distractions. No need to fear. Keep your eyes and hearts on the big picture and everything will be fine.

Teaching Children To Pray While Teaching Love And Patience
Ran across this great short article...
Teaching children to pray is very important. The purpose of prayer is to help your child develop a relationship with the Lord. Teaching your child how to develop love and patience helps them better understand the nature of God. Here are some tips to help you.
Praying should be out loud. Your child may not readily understand what praying is. To help try replacing the word "pray" with the word "talk." Encourage them to talk with God. It is said of men of old that they walked and talked with God.
Teaching your children love and patience is important when they are learning to pray. These two virtues when practiced keep our hearts soft and teachable. The prophet Samuel was able hear the still small voice of the Lord because his heart was teachable.
Part of praying is asking the Lord for the things we want and need. When we teach children what love is we help them feel positive and hopeful about their future. Their prayers will be more uplifting and from the heart.
Love is the most powerful force in the universe. When children are little they may not understand the word "love" but they certainly understand the emotion. You have been there for them from the beginning and you can share with them how God has been there for both of you from the beginning.
We all have learned patience when we pray because as we have grown older we have accepted that God does not immediately answer our prayers. A child, however, has not yet learned this. Therefore, we need to teach them patience.
Our children can learn to be patient when we set them a good example. When I look at the times I become impatient I see an opportunity to teach my children. When I am driving for example, I do not have to be the first guy there. You can share with your children that this is patient. You are willing to wait a little longer to arrive at your destination just like you are willing to wait on the Lord.
When we teach our children to pray we also need to teach them about love and patience. God is love and will always answer our prayers. We must be patient though and be willing to wait for him to answer us.

Broken Before Him
Lost a lot of sleep last night. Replaying Bil's Message on Sunday in my mind.
Broken sounds so final. So negative. God wants us to be happy, doesn't he? I guess being broken before God means exactly what it sounds like; being injured, or damaged, before the Lord. And I think that it means, pretty much, laying out everything that you have before God. Being broken, you give everything up to God. You set it before Him and say, "I don’t know what to do, please help me.”
Simply put, brokenness before God is just a complete surrendering of everything to God. The key word being everything, which is a tough pill to swallow (Thanks again God for that "free will" thing…LOL). A broken man comes before God resigned to the fact that all they have is God but also with the knowledge that all that they need is God. A broken man has nothing and hopes only in the Lord for glorious victory!
All we need is Him! Sorry prime time TV, cool electronics, social events, that hot new ride.
Side note: Please don't forget to bring your gift to Jesus Christ this season.
God is Great!!!

Jesus is Our Leader
”Don’t put your confidence in powerful people; there is no help for you there. When their breathing stops, they return to the earth, and in a moment all their plans come to an end. But happy are those who have the God of Israel as their helper, whose hope is in the LORD their God. He is the one who made heaven and earth, the sea, and everything in them. He is the one who keeps every promise forever." (Psalm 146:3-6).
