Something cool that Xerox is doing: If you go to this web site, http://www.letssaythanks.com/ you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one!!! Please send a card. It is FREE and it only takes a second. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the soldiers received a bunch of these? Whether you are for or against the war, our guys and gals over there need to know we are behind them...



Challenging God
One day, an atheist professor who constantly tries to disprove God stood up on a podium in front of his class and said, "Today class I will disprove God! If God really exists then he will knock me off this podium within 15 minutes!" The professor then took his watch and started to keep time. 
... 
"10 minutes to go God!" 
... 
"5 minutes to go God!" 
... 
Now a football player was outside the door and heard the teacher counting. When he heard what the teacher was doing, he was furious and waited. 
"1 minute left! Well class as you can see there is no possible way that i will come off this podium no so your God is..." 
At that moment the football player came charging in and tackled the professor off the podium and onto the floor. Stunned the professor stammered, "wh-where did you come from?!" 
The football player smirked and replied, "God was busy so he sent me."


Morning Prayer
Dear God, I pray I'll not take for granted today 
The daily blessings you give 
Like the sweet smell of a flower 
or the green grassy hill. 
May I not walk at such a pace 
That I miss the beauty of the place, 
Nor the smile of a child at play 
Or the song of the blue jay. 
And may I travel not so fast today 
That I fail to help someone along the way.

Q. Who was the greatest female financier in the Bible? 
A. Pharaoh's daughter. She went down to the bank of the Nile and drew out a little prophet.

A grandfather overheard his granddaughter repeating the alphabet in reverent, hushed tones.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I'm praying, Grandpa," she said. "I can't think of the right words, so I just say all the letters. God will put them together for me, 'cause he knows what I'm thinking."

The Power of Prayer
A missionary on furlough told this true story while visiting his home church in Michigan... "While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, every two weeks I traveled by bicycle through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This was a journey of two days and required camping overnight at the halfway point. On one of these journeys, I arrived in the city where I planned to collect money from a bank, purchase medicine and supplies, and then begin my two-day journey back to the field hospital.  Upon arrival in the city, I observed two men fighting, one of whom had been seriously injured. I treated him for his injuries and at the same time talked to him about the Lord Jesus Christ. I then traveled two days, camping overnight, and arrived home without incident. Two weeks later I repeated my journey. Upon arriving in the city, I was approached by the young man I had treated. He told me that he had known that I carried money and medicines. He said, "Some friends and I followed you into the jungle, knowing you would camp overnight. We planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. But just as we were about to move into your camp, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards.'"  At this I laughed and said that I was certainly all alone out in that jungle campsite. The young man pressed the point, however, and said, 'No sir, I was not the only person to see the guards. My five friends also saw them, and we all counted them."  It was because of those guards that we were afraid and left you alone. At this point in the sermon, one of the men in the congregation jumped to his feet and interrupted the missionary and asked if he could tell him the exact day this happened. The missionary told the congregation the date, and the man who interrupted told him this story: "On the night of your incident in Africa, it was morning here and I was preparing to go play golf. I was about to putt when I felt the urge to pray for you. In fact, the urging of the Lord was so strong, I called men in this church to meet with me here in the sanctuary to pray for you. Would all of those men who met with me on that day stand up?" The men who had met together to pray that day stood up. The missionary wasn't concerned with who they were, he was too busy counting how many men he saw. There were 26."

Free! Does anyone need a clothes rack? See Robin.

But let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you. For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:11-12)

Jenny’s Pearls

Jenny was a bright-eyed, pretty five-year-old girl. One day when she and her mother were  checking out at the grocery store, Jenny saw a plastic pearl necklace priced at $2.50.  How she wanted that necklace, and when she asked her mother if she would buy it for her, her mother said, "Well, it is a pretty necklace, but it costs an awful lot of money. I'll tell you what. I'll buy you the necklace, and when we get home we can make up a list of  chores that you can do to pay for the necklace.  And don't forget that for  your birthday Grandma just might give you a whole dollar bill, too. Okay?" Jenny agreed, and her mother bought the pearl necklace for her. Jenny worked on her chores very hard every day, and sure enough, her  grandma gave her a brand new dollar bill for her birthday. Soon Jenny had paid off  the pearls.  How Jenny loved those pearls.  She wore them everywhere-to kindergarten, bed and when she went out with her mother to run errands.  The only time she didn't wear them was in the shower-her mother had told her that they would turn her neck green! 
Now Jenny had a very loving daddy.  When Jenny went to bed, he would get up from his favorite chair every night and read Jenny her favorite story. One night when he finished the story, he said, "Jenny, do you love me?" "Oh  yes, Daddy, you know I love you," the little girl said. "Well, then, give me your pearls." "Oh! Daddy, not my pearls!"  Jenny said.  "But you can have Rosie,  my favorite doll.  Remember her?  You gave her to me last year for my birthday.  And you can have her tea party outfit, too.  Okay?" "Oh no, darling, that's okay."  Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss.  "Good night, little one." A week later, her father once again asked Jenny after her story, "Do you love me?" "Oh yes, Daddy, you know I love you." "Well, then, give me your pearls." "Oh, Daddy, not my pearls!  But you can have Ribbons, my toy horse.  Do you remember her?  She's my favorite.  Her hair is so soft, and you can  play with it and braid it and everything.  You can have Ribbons if you want her, Daddy," the little girl said to her father. "No, that's okay," her father said and brushed her cheek again with a kiss. "God bless you, little one.  Sweet dreams."

Several days later, when Jenny's father came in to read her a story, Jenny was sitting on her bed and her lip was trembling.  "Here, Daddy," she said, and held out her hand.  She opened it and her beloved pearl  necklace was inside.  She let it slip into her father's hand. With one hand her father held the plastic pearls and with the other  he pulled out of  his pocket a blue velvet box.  Inside of the box were real, genuine, beautiful pearls. He had had them all along.  He was waiting  for Jenny to give up the cheap  stuff so he could give her the real thing.   
So it is with our Heavenly Father.  He is waiting for us to give up the cheap things in out lives so he can give us beautiful treasure.  Isn't God good? 
This story made me think about the things I hold on to and wonder what God wants to give me 
in its place.

"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon." (Isaiah 55:7)
 
"For with God nothing shall be impossible" (Luke 1:37)

On a Saturday night several weeks ago, this pastor was working late, and decided to call his wife before he left for home. It was about 10:00 PM, but his wife didn't answer the phone. The pastor let the phone ring many times. He thought it was odd that she didn't answer, but decided to wrap up a few things and try again in a few minutes. When he tried again she answered right away. He asked her why she hadn't answered before, and she said that it hadn't rung at their house. They brushed it off as a fluke and went on their merry ways. The following Monday, the pastor received a call at the church office, which was the phone that he'd used that Saturday night. The man that he spoke with wanted to know why he'd called on Saturday night. The pastor couldn't figure out what the man was talking about. Then the man said, "It rang and rang, but I didn't answer." The pastor remembered the mishap and apologized for disturbing him, explaining that he'd intended to call his wife. The man said, "That's, OK. Let me tell you my story. You see, I was planning to commit suicide on Saturday night, but before I did, I prayed, 'God if you're there, and you don't want me to do this, give me a sign now.' At that point my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID, and it said, 'Almighty God'. I was afraid to answer!" The reason why it showed on the man's caller ID that the call came from "Almighty God" is because the church that the pastor attends is called Almighty God Tabernacle!!
