Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

In the last issue we talked about how we turn to God when things are going wrong, but tend, at times, to 'lose touch' when everything is going our way. Let us strive to keep our eyes focused on Jesus when everything is wonderful and thank Him for all good things!

God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:

A visiting minister waxed eloquent during the offertory prayer. "Dear Lord," he began with arms extended and a rapturous look on his upturned face, "without you we are but dust..."

He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter (who was listening carefully for a change!) leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little girl voice, "Mom, what is butt dust?"
