Road Hazard

I tell you, women drivers are a hazard to traffic. Driving to work this morning on the freeway, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a brand new Mustang doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner! I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane, still working on that dang makeup!!! It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver, which knocked the donut out of my other hand. In all the confusion of trying to straighten out the car using my knees against the steering wheel, my newspaper fell & I knocked my cell phone away from my other ear which fell into the coffee between my legs & DISCONNECTED AN IMPORTANT CALL! DANG WOMEN DRIVERS!!!

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS FOR CHRISTMAS

1. Thou shalt not leave "Christ" out of Christmas.


2. Thou shalt not value thy gifts by the cost, for many shall signify love that is more blessed and beautiful than silver and gold.


3. Thou shalt give thyself with thy gifts, thy love, thy personality, and thy service and shall increase the value of thy gifts a hundred fold and they who receiveth them shall treasure them forever.


4. Thou shall not let Santa Claus take the place of Christ, lest Christmas become a fairy tale, rather than a sublime reality in the spiritual realm.


5. Thou shalt not burden thy servants, the sales girl, the mail carrier and the merchant.


6. Thou shalt not neglect the church. Its Christmas services are planned to help spiritualize the Christmas season for thee, thy family, and thy friends.


7. Thou shalt not neglect the needy. Let thy bountiful blessings be shared with the many who will go hungry and cold unless you are generous at Christmas.


8. Thou shalt be as a little child. Christmas is the day of the Christ child; not until thou has become, in spirit, as a little child art thou ready to enter into the Kingdom of heaven.


9. Thou shalt prepare thy soul for Christmas. Verily, most of us spend much time and money getting gifts ready, but few seconds in preparing our souls.


10. Thou shalt give thy heart to Christ. Let thy Christmas list have "Christ in my heart" at the top as thy gift to Him this Christmas.

Yellow Snow

saw this commercial for the first time in Australia. i think it's HILARIOUS!!!! but i am easily amused... so...

House Cleaning vs Heart Cleaning

In the same manner in which we clean and prepare our homes in theanticipation of welcomed guests and family members this Christmasseason, let us also prepare our hearts in anticipation of the Lord'scoming. Christ, our most honoured and eagerly anticipated guest, desiresto meet with us in a heart prepared for his arrival. So eager is he tomeet with us that he offers to help us with our spiritual housecleaning,working with us; creating a resting place for Himself within our hearts.

Shores of Russia


Старый сад золотой росой
Без меня на рассвете плачет
Возвращаюсь к себе домой
Мне не хочется жить иначе
Устаю от земли чужой
Непонятной и незнакомой
Возвращаюсь к себе домой
Как всегда хорошо мне дома
А на утреннем небе всплывает заря
Ты мой дом, ты мой берег, Россия моя
Где б я ни был я верю в круженьи земном
Ты Россия мой берег, Россия - мой дом
Если кто-то покинув кров
На чужбине находит счастье
Я поздравить его готов
Но над сердцем своим не властен
А на утреннем небе всплывает заря
Ты мой дом, ты мой берег, Россия моя
Где б я ни был я верю в круженьи земном
Ты Россия мой берег, Россия - мой дом

НИЧЕГО НЕ ОБЕЩАЛ


















Давно исчез за горизонтом твой карам,
Мою мечту разбили волны о причал,
Ты посмотрел в мои глаза и на прощание сказал:
Я ничего тебе не обещал!


Всего пять слов и в целом мире я одна,
Не надо верить было в сказку про любовь.
Морской вокзал, пустой причал, я ничего не обещал…
Твои слова я повторяю вновь и вновь.


Не забуду тебя никогда,
Мою боль успокоят года,
И в ночной тишине, только во сне
Ты прикоснешься ко мне.


Прекрасный автор, и актёр, и режиссёр.
Всё получилось, удался тебе финал!
Но я не зрителем была, я не играла, я жила,
Печальных песен, ничего не обещал.


Не забуду тебя никогда,
Мою боль успокоят года,
И в ночной тишине, только во сне
Ты прикоснешься ко мне.

Голоvоломка

Незаметно время пробежало
Его понять мы не успели толком
Еще недолго солнце задержалось
И осени досталась счастья долька
Как было нам легко быть вместе летом
Как просто было все и так понятно
У осени душа другого цвета
Когда же все успело поменяться?

Эта любовь такая головоломка
Теплого лета золотая уловка
Лето прошло, меня одуматься просит
Теплая осень, теплая осень

И лето унесет как листья ветром
А мы его удерживать не станем
И будет только нам двоим заметно
Что мир как будто стал необитаем
Все сказано, уже теперь все ясно
Растаяли слова и позабылись
Но почему нам сны про лето снятся
А может мы с тобой поторопились

Эта любовь такая головоломка
Теплого лета золотая уловка
Лето прошло, меня одуматься просит
Теплая осень, теплая осень

I Believe

this is one of my very favorite songs ever!!! i love how Elvis sings it on his Gospel CD. actually, i didnt ever hear anyone else sing it. anyway, here it is.

*****


I believe for every drop of rain that falls - A flower grows.

I believe somewhere in the darkest night - A candle glows.

I believe for everyone who goes astray,
Someone will come to show the way.

I believe, I believe.


I believe above a storm the smallest prayer can still be heard.

I believe someone in the great somewhere hears every word.

Every time I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe.
Believe. I believe.


Every time I hear a new born baby cry,

Or touch a leaf or see the sky

Then I know why, I believe. I believe.

morning attitude


There are only two kinds of people in the world - there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good morning, Lord," and there are those who wake up in the morning and say, "Good Lord, it's morning."

dozing... zZzZzZz...

i think this is most precious!!!!!

Q. "What do you do when you realize you have been dozing during prayer?"

A. "If you doze off, don't give it a second thought. A child in the arms of a parent drops off to sleep occasionally, but the parent isn't disturbed by that as long as the child is happily resting there and opens its eyes once in a while.

Prayer


If Jesus needed to pray - being what He was, how must we need it - being what we are.

Peace

Just few verses that have been on my mind lately:

Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7

that is the same peace that Jesus talks about in John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Be blessed!!!

Hungry?!

Do you have a hunger for God? If we don't feel strong desires for themanifestation of the glory of God, it is not because we have drunkdeeply and are satisfied. It is because we have nibbled so long at thetable of the world. Our soul is stuffed with small things, and there isno room for the great. If we are full of what the world offers, thenperhaps a fast might express, or even increase, our soul's appetite forGod. Between the dangers of self-denial and self-indulgence is the pathof pleasant pain called fasting.

---John Piper

Don't Lie to God

i thought this was very neat. it's a great reminder actually. as sad as it is, but as Christians sometimes we start to pretend with God and forget that He wants to see is the way that we are, not some puffed up people.

Jeremy Taylor gives us some fundamental rules for prayer. And the chief of them is this: "Do not lie to God." And that curt piece of advice, so bluntly thrown down for us, is indeed all-important. Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exaggerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth.

God vs Science

A Science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students, 'Let me explain the problem science has with religion'. The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.

'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'

'Err...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student falters. 'From God'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Again, the student has no answer.

'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them?'

There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him.'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes.'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.' The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. 'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees.'

'Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word.'

'In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.'

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time.'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.'

'It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.'

'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?'

'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.'

'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.

'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'

The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter.

'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir.'

'So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith. '

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'

Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God.

It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The professor sat down.
