Quote of the Day
A farmer’s clock ran amuck one morning and struck seventeen. The
man of the house jumped up and ran all over the place, saying, “Get up, it’s
later than it ever has been before!” It is later than it ever has been by God’s
eternal timepiece. It is later than you think.
Devotion of the Day
REJOICE TODAY!
This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be
glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
Psalm 118:24
We live on retrospect and anticipation. “Yesterday was so
wonderful. How we did rejoice and how glad we were in it!” “Tomorrow will be a
great day. We will rejoice and be glad then.” But today – that is different.
Distance lends enchantment to the view, so yesterday is haloed by
the glory of the past. And anticipation does so exceed fulfillment that
tomorrow looks better today. Between the two lies now and it suffers by
comparison.
But
true joy is not in days either past or present or to come but in Christ, and He
is with us “all the days,” as He promised. He is the same yesterday, when we
did rejoice. He is the same forever, all the tomorrows, through all eternity,
when we shall rejoice. But He is also the same today, the day which the Lord
hath made. We will be glad and rejoice in it, but better still in Him.

RULES OF THE ROAD:
1)The Names and Titles of God our Father and Jesus Christ our Savior will be respected at all times.
2) Discussion is encouraged, however, respect for other people and their opinions is the rule---play nice.
3) No profanity, allusions, innuendos or just plain nastiness will be tolerated. Decency WILL prevail.
This is MY house and YOU are a guest here and differences of opinion will be tolerated as long as you conduct yourself accordingly. If "the exercise of civility is beyond your ability" or you were never taught by your parents, feel free to take your toys and go home and vent your pent-up anger elsewhere.
