THROUGH THE BIBLE IN THREE YEARS
(Thanks to Ben for this one.)
A little 4-year-old boy was sitting on the potty. His mom thought he'd been there a little too long, so she went to check on him.
What she saw mystified her. He was sitting there reading one of his little story books.
But, every minute or so, he would reach up and hit himself over the head with his hand.
Mom asked, "Honey, are you all right?"
He answered, "I'm ok Mommy; I just have gone 'doody' yet."
She asked, "But why are you hitting yourself over the head?"
He answered, "Works for ketchup."

2 Pet 3:8-12
8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
(KJV)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could find remedies for our world like the little boy above?
We have a LOT of things wrong in our world today!
In 2009 some heads of stock exchange investment companies were wearing a new kind of "pin stripe" suit!
Corporate magnates were falling like flies with charges of graft, corruption and downright theft from their own companies.
People (in our a nation) spent more money last year on gambling than on food.
Our President and Congress tried to spend us into prosperity, finding out that's kinda like standing in a bucket and trying to lift yourself up!
Many congressional leaders, who call themselves moral, voted for a health care bill which forces tax payers to fund abortion.
These things should be an awakening to Christians!
Let us make the "main thing," the MAIN thing in 2010!
Let us be excited about the imminent return of our Lord!
He has promised to return, and has NEVER failed in a promise.
His return COULD be SOON!
This world need to SEE Christians living exemplory lives and telling the good news of salvation by grace through faith in Christ Jesus.
That's the ONLY way for this nation to have "CHANGE!!"
Love ya,
