The Word for 03/16
If people persecute you because you are a Christian, don't curse them; pray that God will bless them. When others are happy, be happy with them. If they are sad, share their sorrow. Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable.
Romans 12:14,15,17

I'VE LEARNED.......... Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

WHERE TO LIVE AFTER RETIREMENT:
You can live in Phoenix , Arizona where.....

1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade.

2. You've experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water in the toilet bowl.

3. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town.

4. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food

5. You know that "dry heat" is comparable to what hits you in the face when you open your oven door.

6.. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!

THINGS ABOUT TO BECOME EXTINCT IN AMERICA
Honey Bees: Perhaps nothing on our list of disappearing America is so dire; plummeting so enormously; and so necessary to the survival of our food supply as the honey bee. Very scary!! 'Colony Collapse Disorder,' or CCD, has spread throughout the U.S. and Europe over the past few years, wiping out 50% to 90% of the colonies of many beekeepers -- and along with it, their livelihood.

News Magazines and TV News: While the TV evening newscasts haven't gone anywhere over the last several decades, their audiences have. In 1984, in a story about the diminishing returns of the evening news, the New York Times reported that all three network evening-news programs combined had only 40.9 million viewers. Fast forward to 2008, and what they have today is half that.

OBSERVATIONS ON GROWING OLDER
Who wants to wear 3” heels anyway.

You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch. When GOOGLE…ipod…email…modem …were unheard of and a mouse was something that made you climb on a table.

You use more 4 letter words….”what?” “when?”…???

Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it’s not safe to wear it anywhere.

Remember when “crepey” meant fabric?

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY........
Too many Christians envy the sinners their pleasure and the saints their joy, because they don't have either one. Martin Luther
