I have to admit. With all that's going on in our country I'm a little spooked. But a friend shared her story with me today...a story I really needed to hear. She said God woke her earlier than usual and assertively said, "The heart of the king is in MY hand. Your security lies in Me not in a group of people [i.e., government]. Now do you believe it? Or not?" From that moment on her prayers were the same focus however not from a point of defeat, but a point of victory.
Wow! That's right! We've been through financial crises before. The disciples believed they were going to live to see Jesus return. Nothing is certain. Everything can and/or will be shaken. God is not. He will not be shaken. He is the Only Thing unshakable. So, do I believe it? Or not?
Lord, please keep me from deception. Even the elect will be deceived. If they are vulnerable, then who am I? Help me remain humble and dependant on You that I would not lie in the smoke overtaken with confusion and deception. Grace me with Your discernment. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Keep praying that. A blonde joke..Sarah and the Coke Machine
ReplyDeleteSarah was going to a soda machine and she
arrived there just before a businessman coming to quench his thirst.
She opened her purse and put in 50 cents, studied the machine a little and
pushed a Diet Coke selection. Out came a Diet Coke which she placed on a
counter by the machine.
Then she reached in her purse again and pulled out a dollar and inserted
it in the machine. Studying the machine carefully, she pushed the button
for Coke Classic. Out came a Coke Classic and 50 cents change. She
immediately took the 50 cents and put in in the machine, studied it for a
moment and pushed the Mountain Dew button. Out came a Mountain Dew.
As she was reaching into her purse again, the businessman who had been
waiting patiently for several minutes now spoke up. "Excuse me, miss, but
are you done yet?"
She looked at him and indignantly replied, "Well, duhhhh! I'm still
winning!" love to all the family PODDY.
Another one.Sarah and the Alligator Shoes
ReplyDeleteSarah was on vacation in the depths of Louisiana. She wanted a
pair of genuine alligator shoes in the worst way, but was very reluctant
to pay the high prices the local vendors were asking. After becoming
very frustrated with the "no haggle" attitude of one of the shopkeepers,
Sarah shouted, "Maybe I'll just go out and catch my own alligator so I
can get a pair of shoes at a reasonable price!"
The shopkeeper said, "By all means, be my guest. Maybe you'll luck out
and catch yourself a big one!" Determined, Sarah turned and headed for
the swamps, set on catching herself an alligator. Later in the day, the
shopkeeper is driving home when he spots Sarah standing waist
deep in the water, shotgun in hand. Just then, he sees a huge 9 foot
alligator swimming quickly toward her. She takes aim, kills the creature
and with a great deal of effort hauls it on to the swamp bank. Laying
nearby were several more of the dead creatures. The shopkeeper
watches in amazement.
Just then Sarah flips the alligator on it's back, and frustrated,
shouts out, "Dang it, this one isn't wearing any shoes either!"
Hi.Nice to see Todd. Another joke. alan pardoe said...
ReplyDeletethis is for hubby?....DON'T FALL INTO THIS TRAP.?.....To Be 6 Again
A man was sitting on the edge of the bed, observing his wife, looking at herself in the mirror. Since her birthday was not far off he asked what she'd like to have for her birthday.
'I'd like to be six again', she replied, still looking in the mirror.
On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Lucky Charms, and then took her to Six Flags theme park. What a day!
He put her on every ride in the park; the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster roller coaster, everything there was.
Five hours later they staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down.
He then took her to a McDonald's where he ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a chocolate shake.
Then it was off to a movie, popcorn, a soda pop, and her favorite candy, M&M's. What a fabulous adventure!
Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, 'Well Dear, what was it like being six again?'
Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. 'I meant my dress size, you idiot!!!!'
The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he is gonna get it wrong.???
