    Laughter can be heard farther than weeping. Yiddish proverb

    Psychiatry enables us to correct our faults by confessing our parent’s shortcomings.

    You can be sincere and still be wrong. Or... You can be sincere and still be stupid.

    No matter what happens, there is someone who knew it would.

    By Rev Billy Graham...

    Find Peace With God
    How do we find peace with God? We must stop fighting! We must surrender! We must serve! Of course, these steps will be motivated by faith and mingled with love. Having found peace with God, next we experience the peace of God.

    This peace of God is not a mere abstraction advocated by preachers and theologians. Thousands of people can witness that they have actually experienced the peace of God and have found it wonderfully adequate for this present day. “For He is our peace.”

    Daily Prayer
    Father, I thank You for the peace You have given to me, which does not depend on feelings or circumstances.

    When you have the choice between being right and being kind, always chose kindness.

    One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat only has nine lives. Mark Twain.

    A bee is never as busy as it seems; it just can’t buzz any slower.

    After they make Styrofoam, what do they ship it in?

    If all the nations are in debt, where did all the money go? Where did it come from?

    Pray for a good harvest, but keep on hoeing.

    Why don’t they make mouse flavored cat food?

    Is there another word for synonym?

    When the weatherman says there is a big storm coming, people panic.
    When the preacher says Jesus is coming, people pay no attention.

    T.Jeff Veal Check out Genesis 5:1-3. Adam and Eve's children were made in the image of man, not God. Their children were conceived after the fall. That explains a lot of what we see today.

    I don't believe there is a separation there, Adam and Eve are created in the image of God, and then have a son who is in Adams image which is still in the same image. Chapter 5 starts off with a bit off a summation of mankind's creation and then continues with the descendants from Adam to Noah going through the line of Seth.

    Man is still said to be in God's image after this in Gen 9:6 - Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for God made man in his own image.

    And much later in 1 Cor 11:7 - for a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory or God...

    James 3:9 - With it (the tongue, vs 8) we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.

    I don't mean to be argumentative at all towards Erikb, but just to show some examples of where we are still said to be in the image of God. We are all fallen people living in a sin sick world, but thanks to the AMAZING GRACE of God and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ we can all stumble towards wholeness with assurance.

    My comment was about the people who try to identify as another gender or no gender at all, calling themselves They or It...GOD said there is two genders, man came up with the others...

    I have seen this personally in the wood business.


    By Rev Billy Graham...

    We Can't Out-Give God
    We are to be stewards of our money. When it is invested and shared for the glory of God, it can be a boon and a blessing. I know a businessman in Detroit, Michigan, who made a promise to God that he would tithe his entire income to the work of the Lord. He said his business had tripled, and that God had more than fulfilled His end of the bargain.

    Some time ago I heard from a laborer in the San Joaquin Valley of California who said that he and his wife agreed to give one tenth of their income to the Lord. At the time they made their decision, he was able to get work only about seven months of the year. Now he says he has steady work, and is earning nearly twice what he was before. You cannot get around it; the Scripture promises material and spiritual benefits to the man who gives to God.

    You cannot out-give God. I challenge you to try it and see.

    Daily Prayer
    Forgive me, Lord, for the times I have wanted to keep that which is rightfully Yours.

    And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the Lord ’s. It is holy to the Lord .

    The trouble with life is you’re half way through before you realize it’s one of those do-it yourself projects.

    Don’t be afraid to go out on a limb, that’s where the fruit is.

    Worry is like a rocking chair; it gives you something to do but it doesn’t get you anywhere.


    Stand firm for what you know is right
    It’s wise, as I have found.
    The mighty oak was once a nut
    That simply held its ground.


    It wasn’t so much the apple on the tree as it was the pair on the ground that caused the problem in the Garden of Eden.
