Remain United

A farmer who had a quarrelsome family called his sons and told them to
lay a bunch of sticks before him. Then, after laying the sticks parallel
to one another and binding them, he challenged his sons, one after one,
to pick up the bundle and break it.

They all tried, but in vain. Then, untying the bundle, he gave them the
sticks to break one by one. This they did with the greatest ease.

Then said the father, "Thus, my sons, as long as you remain united, you
are a match for anything, but differ and separate, and you are undone.

Sign of the Times
-Spotted on a wall in a middle-school classroom in an inner city
school

We read to be entertained,
educated or inspired,
or just to rejoice in the use of language.
We read to be touched
by other people's lives.
Perhaps most of all,
we read because it transports us
to worlds beyond the limits
of our imaginations.

Its Only A Quarter

Several years ago a preacher moved to Houston, Texas. Some weeks after
he arrived, he had occasion to ride the bus from his home to the
downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had
accidentally given him a quarter too much change.

As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, you better give the
quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it. Then he thought, Oh, forget
it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount Anyway
the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it.
Accept it as a gift from God and keep quiet.

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed
the quarter to the driver and said, Here, you gave me too much change.

The driver with a smile, replied, Aren't you the new preacher in town I
have been thinking lately about going to worship somewhere. I just
wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change.

When my friend stepped off the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest
light pole, and held on, and said, O God, I almost sold your Son for a
quarter.

Our lives are the only book some people will ever read.

WORTH READING 7 Nov 2006

Prison

I read of a man who was involved in a tragic accident. He lost both legs
and his left arm and only a finger and thumb remained on the right hand.
There was only enough left of the man that had been to suffer and
remember.

But he still possessed a brilliant mind, enriched with a good education
and broadened with world travel. At first he thought there was nothing
he could do but remain a helpless sufferer.

A thought came to him. It was always nice to receive letters, but why
not write them he could still use his right hand with some difficulty.
But whom could he write to Was there anyone shut in and incapacitated
like he was who could be encouraged by his letters. He thought of men in
prison they did have some hope of release whereas he had none but it was
worth a try.

He wrote to a organization concerned with prison ministry. He was told
that his letters could not be answered it was against prison rules, but
he commenced this one sided correspondence.

He wrote twice a week and it taxed his strength to the limit. But into
those letters he put his whole soul, all his experience, all his faith,
all his wit, and all his Christian optimism. It must have been hard
writing those letters, often in pain, and particularly when there was no
reply.

Frequently he felt discouraged and was tempted to give it up. But it was
his one remaining activity and he resolved to continue as long as he
could.

At last he got a letter. It was very short, written on prison stationery
by the officer whose duty it was to censor the mail. All it said was
Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed
from cell to cell till they literally fall to pieces. No matter what our
personal situation is, we still have God-given gifts and talents,
experience, and encouragement that we can share with others.

God is Missing

A couple had two little boys, ages 8 and 10, who were excessively
mischievous. They were always getting into trouble, and their parents
knew that if any mischief occurred in their town, their sons were
probably involved.

The boys' mother heard that a clergyman in town had been successful in
disciplining children, so she asked if he would speak with her boys. The
clergyman agreed, but asked to see them individually. So the mother sent
her 8-year old first, in the morning, with the older boy to see the
clergyman in the afternoon.

The clergyman, a huge man with a booming voice, sat the younger boy down
and asked him sternly. Where is God The boy's mouth dropped open, but he
made no response, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed.
So the clergyman repeated the question in an even sterner tone, Where is
God!! Again, the boy made no attempt to answer. So, the clergyman raised
his voice even more and shook his finger in the boy's face and bellowed,
WHERE IS GOD! The boy screamed and bolted from the room, ran directly
home and dove into his closet, slamming the door behind him. When his
older brother found him in the closet, he asked, What happened The
younger brother, gasping for air, replied, We are in BIG trouble this
time, dude. God is missing, and they think WE did it!!
