In 1935, she was the first person to fly solo across the Pacific. Her next flight was planned to circle the globe at the equator.

TODAY'S SMILE

The Smart Blonde !

A Blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer.
She says she is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to
borrow $5,000.

The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a
loan, so the Blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce parked on the
street in front of the bank. Everything checks out, and the bank agrees to
accept the car as collateral for the loan. An employee drives the Rolls
into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later, the Blonde returns, repays the $5,000 and the interest,
which comes to $15.41.

The loan officer says, "We are very happy to have had your business, and
this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled.
While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a
multimillionaire. What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow
$5,000?

The Blonde replied, Where else in New York can I park my car for twoweeks for 15 bucks

You always find something in the last place you look

TODAY'S REFLECTION

So let's come near God with pure hearts and the confidence that comes from having faith. Hebrews 10:22

Have you noticed how a three-year-old child has no fear? A parent has to keep a close eye on that busy, curious little one or a bad accident could happen. The child has a pure heart and the confidence comes from having faith that his or her parents care. Simple living becomes a smoother path when you surrender to God's will and Christ's way of doing things. When you open your life to the Savior, you are opening the door to the Holy Spirit, who willempower you and guide you to victory over any and all obstacles. You’ll have faith in God and in yourself
