Larry, the one liners are great especially:

QuoteThe good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.

I haven't ever found any good purpose for mosquitoes myself.  But then the secret things belong to the Lord.  Maybe God put them here to keep us humble.  Here are great big powerful people who are tormented by a little buzzing insect.

In any case we know that God wants us to be humble. 

1 Pet 5:5-6. . . . All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble."  Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.  (NIV)

Seems like I repeated it several times.  There used to be a place where we could delete a post but I can't find it any more.

Papa John, if you click on preview at the bottom, it will show you your post which you can then correct or delete.  Or, after you post, you will see the modify, delete, etc. buttons at the top to the right of New Every Morning just above your post.

I deleted the extra ones for you, hope you do not mind. 

************************************************
A minister dies and is waiting in line at the Pearly Gates.

Ahead of him is a guy who's dressed in sunglasses, a loud shirt, leather jacket, and jeans.

Saint Peter addresses the man wearing somewhat sloppy clothes, "Who are you, so that I may know whether or not to admit you to the Kingdom of Heaven?"

The guy replies, "I'm Jack Thomas Jr., taxi-driver, of Noo Yawk City."

Saint Peter consults his list. He smiles and says to the taxi-driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

The taxi-driver goes into Heaven with his robe and staff. Then it's the minister's turn. He stands up tall and booms out, "I am Joseph Snow, pastor of Saint Mary's Church, for the last forty-three years."

Saint Peter consults his list. He says to the minister, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven."

"Just a minute," says the minister. "That man before me was a taxi-driver, and he gets a silken robe and golden staff. Why, How can this be?"

Saint Peter, looks to the preacher and says,

"Up here, we work by results,"

"While you preached, people slept. While Jack drove, people prayed."

 

That one just reached out and grabbed me! I'm still chuckling.

hahahaha...good one Janet!

I've had so many chuckles today.  It's been good too as I'm in one of those "low" times.  Thanks Janet!  HAHAHA!

Pat: Again thanks for today's inspiration.

Sarah:  I clearly remember our son being concerned with the fact that he was in his last year of high school feeling very scared. The door of education was closing and now the door of the future was opening. What do I do and what lies ahead? 


Ruth 

Evenin' folks.  Just to let you know I'm here, but probably not for much longer. 

Good evening friends:

Just before heading for bed, I thought I'd pop in here and see what you all have been doing.

This was a very "unproductive day" for me.  The bit of laundry that I did manage to do, and iron, is still sitting on top of the dryer;(at least its ironed...LOL) my dishwasher needs emptying, and Rags still needs one last time out before he snuggles in his little bed.

Thank you all for continued prayers for Norm.  He has had three weeks without abdominal pain and nausea.  This Thursday he sees the specialist in Hamilton for a re-check, and hopefully with the improvement in his health, some of the pain medication can be reduced.

Norm even went to church alone yesterday, this sounds insignificant to you, but believe me....this was unheard of a few years ago. (going to church without ME, is what I am meaning to say.)

Etta Sue:  I am praying for you; praying that you will have a good report, and that your tests went well.

Rachelle:  It made me think of years gone by.... when I read of your little fellow going outside your home without permission.  My sister had similar problems with her son doing the same when he was about 4 yrs. old.  How old is your little boy that you are talking about?

Papa John:  I am anxious to hear how you made out with your medical tests.  Do you have any results yet?

Pat:  If you could find the music : "Draw me Nearer"., I'd sure love to sing along with you. It is such a special hymn, the words; " draw me nearer to Thy precious bleeding side".....so appropriate now at this time of year., even though Easter has come and gone, all too quickly.

I'm trusting everyone will have a good rest tonight.

Lovingly.,....Judy M.

Good Evening Everyone:

I was not feeling well today and came home from work at noon.   Feeling a little better now.   I think I will go to bed early.   

Love Ruthie

Good evening everyone.  I have finally finished reading all the posts for the past two days.  The devotionals and hymns are lovely and had some chuckles along the way.  Thanks.

We are having a heat wave here on the island.  More like July than April.  That would be great if only things were not getting too dry.  The garden now has to be watered!

I went to the 'little city' and carpet bowled this morning.  Had to skip two games.  Lost one by two points and won the other by five....Not a bad morning. 

Working hard at getting over this blue period and determined to 'Bloom Where Planted.'  Thanks for the email Marilyn.  I have such a lovely home to live in and no reason to be depressed....Find that petting the bunnies is nice.  The little blind one keeps kissing me and makes sounds like a cat purring. 

Etta Sue and Papa John, I will keep you in my prayers and trust all will go well with your tests.  Wouldn't it be great if one didn't have to drink all that yucky stuff?

Must go now.  Pleasant dreams all and God Bless.

Time to lock the door.  I've been putting it off as I've been enjoying the hymn for tomorrow.  It's one of my very favorites.

I hope you all enjoy it as well.

Hi Liz!

Here's tomorrow's New Every Morning
