3/13– Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/13–There comes a time in life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it

Story:

3/13Crystal Meth and the Funeral Home— I once knew a girl that was very pretty.  I had not seen her in a long time when she died at about age 30 to 35.  I knew her family, so we went to the viewing.  I could not believe my eyes.  She looked like an old lady.  I was not familar with that drug and have never seen such devastation.  It peaked my interest, so I went online to find  out more.  There were beautiful young ladies on there that showed their pictures every year for 10 years or so.  They went from looking like a beauty queen to looking like the wicked witch (even worse) of the Wizard of Oz.  I can’t imagine anyone taking that knowing what it will do them.  Why would someone want that sentence of death? Give me some of that, I just have to have me some of that. I just have to look like that.  I just can’t imagine such.  

Scripture:

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Humor:

Light Your Face Up With A Smile To Attract Others

The renowned Quaker scholar Rufus Jones was speaking of the importance of having a radiant countenance. After his address, a woman “with an almost unbelievably plain face” came up and asked him what he would do if he had a face like hers. He replied, 

While I have troubles of my own of that kind, I’ve discovered that if you light it up from within, any old face you have is good enough.”

3/12–Start Your Day Off Right Series 

Quote:

3/12–The struggle you are in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow so don’t give up

Story:

3/12–What we cannot do alone – we can do together.

More than 350 people of the tiny town of Stromsburg, Neb., formed a human chain to transfer thousands of books from the town’s old library to its new one.

Residents stood shoulder-to-shoulder to pass sacks containing a few books each to the new facility, a distance of a few blocks.

Most of the old library’s contents were trucked over in advance, but city leaders wanted to involve the community.

“There were people of all ages passing those books,” said Mayor Elaine Westring. “They will always remember this day.”

Sounds like a church, doesn’t it? Together, we pass along the gospel one person at a time.

– adapted by Dr. David Sylvester from USA Today, 2-22-01

Scripture:

Psalms 133

A SONG OF DEGREES OF DAVID.

Behold, how good and how pleasant it is

for brethren to dwell together in unity!

It is like the precious ointment upon the head,

that ran down upon the beard,

even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments;

As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion:

for there the LORD commanded the blessing,

even life for evermore.

Humor:

Bend But Do Not Break

A heavy snowfall can cripple large trees like elm and oak due to the weight breaking off the branches.

On the other hand, evergreens droop with the burden until it slides off.

So, too, we should not let burdens break us down.   Bend a little perhaps but not break.

3/11–Start Your Day Off Right Series

Quote:

3/11–The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.

Story:

3/11–It is like driving forward while looking in the rearview mirror. You may move ahead a little, but sooner or later you’re going to crash.”

Genesis 13:10-13

And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom. But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly.

Scripture:

Genesis 13:12

Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.

Humor:

As a guitarist, I play many gigs. Recently I was asked by a funeral director to play at a graveside service for a homeless man. He had no family or friends, so the service was to be at a pauper’s cemetery in the back country. As I was not familiar with the backwoods, I got lost.

I finally arrived an hour late and saw the funeral guy had evidently gone and the hearse was nowhere in sight. There were only the diggers and crew left and they were eating lunch.

I felt badly and apologized to the men for being late. I went to the side of the grave and looked down and the vault lid was already in place. I didn’t know what else to do, so I started to play.

The workers put down their lunches and began to gather around. I played out my heart and soul for this man with no family and friends. I played like I’ve never played before for this homeless man.

And as I played ‘Amazing Grace,’ the workers began to weep. They wept, I wept, we all wept together. When I finished I packed up my guitar and started for my car. Though my head hung low, my heart was full.

As I opened the door to my car, I heard one of the workers say, “I never seen nothin’ like that before and I’ve been putting in septic tanks for twenty years.”

Apparently, I’m still lost…
