TODAY'S SMILE
A city officials decided to get all unlicensed dogs off the streets. When a policeman spots a big mutt riding in the front seat with its owner, he signals the driver to pull over.
When the driver asks why he's been stopped, the officer points to the big dog sitting beside him.
“Does your dog have a license?” he asks.
“Oh, no,” the man says, he doesn’t need one. I always do the driving
It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.

TODAY'S REFLECTION
Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:1
Do you ever take time to do as God suggests in our scripture today? Or do you find you don't have enough hours in the day? But when we face a daunting problem, doubt creeps in. When our prayer isn't answered immediately, in just the way we desire, uncertainty causes fear and anxiety. But the Bible tells us: But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind James 1:6
TODAY'S ADVICE FROM THE OLD FARMER'S ALMANAC
Observe on what day in August the first heavy fog occurs, and expect a hard frost on the same day in October.
50 DAYS UNTIL AUTUMN
Delight yourself in the Lord
and He will give you the desires of your Heart
Psalm 37:4
I Love You All !!! Be Blessed !!!
