Prayer of the Week

1 John 1:7When your sins weigh heavily upon you, come to Me. Confess your wrongdoing, which I know all about before you say a word. Stay in the Light of My Presence, receiving forgiveness, cleansing, and healing. Remember that I have clothed you in My righteousness, so nothing can separate you from Me. Whenever you stumble or fall, I am there to help you up.

Man’s tendency is to hide from his sin, seeking refuge in the darkness. There he indulges in self-pity, denial,  self-righteousness, blaming, and hatred. But I am the Light of the world, and My illumination decimates the darkness. Come close to Me and let My Light envelop you, driving out darkness and permeating you with Peace.

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin. 1 John 1:7

I delight greatly in the LORD; my soul rejoices in my God.  For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10

When Jesus spoke again to the people, He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.  John 8:12

    The Educated Dog

    Thanks to Tony H.

    A young jackaroo from outback Queensland goes off to university.
    Halfway through the semester he has foolishly squandered all of his money.

    He calls home. ‘Dad,’ he says,
    ‘you won’t believe what modern education is developing..
    They actually have a program here in Brisbane that
    will teach our dog Ol’ Blue how to talk.’

    ‘That’s amazing!’ his Dad says. ‘How do I get Ol’ Blue in that program?’

    ‘Just send him down here with $2,000,’ the young jackaroo says, ‘I’ll get him in the course.’

    So …. his father sends the dog and $2,000.

    About two-thirds through the semester, the money again runs out.
    The boy calls home.
    ‘So how’s Ol’ Blue doing, son?’ his father wants to know..

    ‘Awesome! Dad, he’s talking up a storm… but you just won’t believe this.
    They’ve had such good results with talking, they’ve begun to teach the
    animals how to read.’

    ‘Read?’ exclaims his father. ‘No kidding! How do we get Ol’ Blue in that program?’

    ‘Just send $4,500. I’ll get him in the class.’

    The money promptly arrives. But our hero has a problem.
    At the end of the year, his father will find out the dog can neither talk nor read.

    So he shoots the dog.

    When he arrives home at the end of the year, his father is all excited.
    ‘Where’s Ol’ Blue? I just can’t wait to talk with him, and see him
    read something!’

    ‘Dad,’ the boy says, ‘I have some grim news.
    Yesterday morning, just before we left to drive home,
    Ol’ Blue was in the living room, kicked back
    in the recliner, reading the Wall Street Journal.
    Then he suddenly turned to me and asked,
    “So, is your Daddy still dating that little redhead barmaid at the pub?”

    The father groans and whispers,
    ‘I hope you shot that swine before he talks to your Mother!’

    ‘I sure did, Dad!’

    ‘That’s my boy!’

    The kid went on to be a successful lawyer and politician!

    Thanks to Arthur

    We have used this very funny article as the basis of an experiment
    into the best way to show pictures.
    I’m going to look at increasing the picture size to a suitable standard.

    The following slide show from Flickr seems good to me.

    If you roll your mouse over the presenation, choices appear.
    You can skip backwards and forward and browse through thumbnail images and lots of things.
    I think the time taken to get images from the email that you send me
    to the final presentation in Sunday Humour
    will now be much easier.
    I’m going to try to make it so that you can copy just a presentation
    if you want to save it or forward it.

    Please let me know what you think –
    How about the download speed?
    Should we use Flickr in future?

    Go slowly and enjoy

    Thanks to David H.

    his movie-sequence is more than historical and just breathtaking beautiful!
    (Switch to HD and full screen with sound on).

    You`re almost sitting in the FA-18 chaseplane and can hear the pilot`s breath.

    What a nice feeling of flying!
