    Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.

    Have you ever read or heard the saying that imagination if more important than knowledge? Read further.


    Einstein said that, "Imagination is more important than knowledge, because knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand."

    Verse of the Day
    For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

    I know God’s first name! It’s Andy. I learned it in Sunday school when we sang the song, “Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am His own...”

    Verse of the Day
    If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

    By Rev Billy Graham...

    Good Things Are Costly
    You should not expect the easy way, for if you do you are certainly destined for disappointment. Any person who knows the Bible knows that the Christian life is likened to an athletic contest or to warfare, and neither one is easy. Jesus warned His followers to count carefully the cost, and that certainly does not speak of an easy way. But there is no good thing that comes without cost.

    The Christian life is the most satisfying, but only when we actually go all out and all the way. It is the Christian who tries to compromise who finds life miserable, for he has all the problems, without the fellowship that comes through surrender. For every trial and test, Christ supplies an abundance of grace with which to bear it, and in our weakness we are made strong.

    Daily Prayer
    Let me never look for the easy way when You, Lord Jesus, gave everything for me.

    These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

    Be careful. Opportunity comes knocking for temptation too.

    Asking the government to fight inflation is like asking the Mafia to fight crime.

    You claim you’re not a preacher, but still you do preach;

    A powerful sermon each day.

    The acts of your life are the things that you teach;

    And not just the things that you say.


    Oh what an uncertain thing, this pesky weather is.
    It blew and snew and then it thew, and now, by golly, it friz.

    The most beautiful story ever given to man was written a long time ago;
    By Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, of Christ and his mission below.
    And you write a gospel, a chapter a day, by your deeds, whether faithless or true.
    When others read it, what will they think, of the gospel according to you?

    It’s a wonderful story, the Gospel of Love, as it shines with Christ’s life Divine;
    Oh that its truth might be told once again, in the story of your life and mine.
    You are writing each day a letter of men, take care that the writing is true;
    It’s the only Gospel some people may read; the Gospel according to you.

    Instead of complaining that a rosebush has thorns, rejoice that the thorn bush has roses!

    Teach people to be honest and oaths will be unnecessary.

    Something is drastically wrong with this country. I am told that we are not to burn leaves, trash, used oil or old tires etc. People are even restricted on where they can burn tobacco. Yet, any jerk can, and they do, burn the US flag or a cross, under the protection of the US Supreme court.

    Be not concerned nor be surprised, if what you do is criticized.
    There’s always folks who usually can, find some fault with every plan.
    Mistakes are made, we cannot deny, but only made by folks who try.

    Just because the river is quiet, don’t think that all the alligators are gone.

    Every man who is truly a man, must learn to be alone in the midst of others, and if need be, against all others.

    Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names nor their faces.

    Gluteus Maximus is a Roman we cheer; that noblest of all, tho he brings up the rear.

    Don’t just stand there and stare at the steps; step up the stairs.

    I think an old cowboy once said this; “You either make dust, or you eat it.”

    Hearing is a gift. Listening is an art.

    Is moderation in all things somewhat excessive?

    Old habits die hard; even when you want nothing more than to see them dead.

    “All natural ingredients,” sounds wholesome until you realize that arsenic, coal dust and manure are all natural too.
