3/1–Creatures of Custom
As a boy in the Middle West, I used to amuse myself by holding a stick across a gateway that the sheep had to pass through.
After the first few sheep had jumped over the stick, I took it away; but all the other sheep leaped through the gateway over an imaginary barrier.
The only reason for their jumping was that those in front had jumped.
The sheep is not the only animal with that tendency. Almost all of us are prone to do what others are doing, to believe what others are believing, to follow, without question, the testimony of prominent men.
Scripture:
Philippians 3:12-14
Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

3/1–A GOLF JOKE Pastor Teefer found himself wondering whether there were any golf courses in heaven.
He even began to ask the question in his prayers. One day, in answer to his prayers, he received a direct answer from on high.
Yes,” said the heavenly messenger, “there are many excellent golf courses in heaven. The greens are always in first-class condition, the weather is always perfect, and you always play with the nicest people.”
Oh, thank you,” responded Preacher Teefer. “That really is marvelous news.” “Yes, isn’t it?” replied the messenger. “And we’ve got you down for a foursome next Saturday.”
