3/15/—The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be
Story:
In the washroom of his London club, British newspaper publisher and politician William Beverbrook happened to meet Edward Heath, then a young member of Parliament, about whom Beverbrook had printed an insulting editorial a few days earlier. “My dear chap,” said the publisher, embarrassed by the encounter. “I’ve been thinking it over, and I was wrong. Here and now, I wish to apologize.” “Very well,” grunted Heath. “But the next time, I wish you’d insult me in the washroom and apologize in your newspaper.”

Scripture:
Matthew 5:23-24
Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Humor:
The story is told that after sometime in the Garden, Eve grew restless and began to question Adam’s commitment to her.
She inquired, “Adam, do you still love me?”
Adam replied, “There’s no one else but you, honey.”
After thinking through the encounter, Adam inquired of God as to why He made Eve so beautiful.
God replied, “So you would love her.”
Adam continued, “And why did you make her so soft?”
God replied again, “So you would love her,”
Adam pressed on, “And why did you make her so loving?
Again God replied, “So you would love her.”
Finally Adam ventured, “And why did you make her so stupid, God?”
God replied, “So she would love you.” God has a way of humbling us when we need it most.
