Matthew 12:36-37
But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.
Greetings Bible Enthusiast!
Some readers love change. Some readers would rather that things always stayed the same. My apology to those in the latter group, but we are implementing a minor change to our daily format. We are going to begin each day with the DAILY BIBLE VERSE. My personal comments will follow. It will be a good thing to begin each day with the most important part of our "Positive, Encouraging & Inspirational "Messages."
God Bless You!

After several hours of reading the directions, attempting to fit bolt A into slot B, etc., he finally gave up and called upon an old handyman working in a neighboring yard.
The old-timer came over, threw the directions away, and in a short while had the set completely assembled.
It's beyond me," said the father, "how you got it together without even reading instructions."
"To tell the truth," replied the old-timer, "I can't read, and when you can't read, you've got to think."
