There are no challenges...

There are no challenges...

... when you allow fear to immobilize you
... when you allow peer pressure to compromise you
... when you allow your culture to conform you
... when you allow ignorance to stupify you
... when you allow apathy to pacify you.

Just For Laughs

WIFE VS. HUSBAND

 A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.

 An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position.

 As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"

 "Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws."


WORDS

 A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000.

 The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...

 The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"


CREATION

 A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time,

 " The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;

 God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!


 WHO DOES WHAT

 A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning.

 The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."

 The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."

 Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee."

 Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."

 So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.......... "HEBREWS"


 THE SILENT TREATMENT

 A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment.

 Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.

 Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM."

 He left it where he knew she would find it.

 The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight.

 Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed.

 The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Life - Fearfully & Wonderfully Made

Life - Psalm 139:13,14 - Thank You God for I am fearfully & wonderfully made. 

L - Light dawns into darkness when the baby is born. 
May "the Lord is my light" bring a stronger desire to 
spend time with the Light. John 8:12 

i - 'i' - the 'all for myself' 'i'. The baby's first few questions 
may be - Where am I?, What am I?, Who am I? or may be 
'Who are You?' - May You be the answer to these questions. 

f - 'fight' - the fight with fear, with unanswered questions, 
with the system of life, with complicated people. May 
this fight end with faith in the Lord. 

e - 'ends' with 'entrance' into 'eternity'....May the Lord 
enlighten You with His wisdom to educate God's treasure 
to you with all His strength and with all His love.

Most Unlike And Unlikely People

God may choose the most unlikely people to be His agents of training in our lives. Perhaps a young child will speak wisdom to an adult. Maybe a troublesome relative is to be God's tool in teaching us.

His choice could be someone we wouldn't ordinarily notice.

The Things I Do

The things I do,
The things I say,
Will lead some person
Aright or astray.
So the things we do
Should be the best,
And the things we say
Should be to bless.

Life Surprises

Life is full of surprises.
Usually they come in big and small sizes.
In most cases, we're not prepared for them.
