1 cup M&M's
1 cup peanuts
1 cup raisins
Other Options
dried fruit

TODAY'S SMILE
The Perfect Pet!
A man goes into a pet shop and tells the owner that he wants to buy a pet
that can do everything. The shop owner suggests a faithful dog.
The man replies, "Come on, a dog?"
The owner says, "How about a cat?"
The man replies, "No way! A cat certainly can't do everything. I want a
pet that can do everything!"
The shop owner thinks for a minute, then says, "I've got it! A centipede!"
The man says, "A centipede? I can't imagine a centipede doing everything,
but okay. I'll try a centipede."
He gets the centipede home and says to the centipede, "Clean the kitchen."
Thirty minutes later, he walks into the kitchen and it's immaculate! All
the dishes and silverware have been washed, dried, and put away; the
countertops cleaned; the appliances sparkling; the floor waxed. He's
absolutely amazed.
He says to the centipede, "Go clean the living room."
Twenty minutes later, he walks into the living room. The carpet has been
vacuumed; the furniture cleaned and dusted; the pillows on the sofa
plumped; and the plants watered.
The man thinks to himself, "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.
This really is a pet that can do everything!"
Next he says to the centipede, "Run down to the corner and get me a
newspaper."
The centipede walks out the door. Ten minutes later, no centipede. Twenty
minutes later, no centipede. Thirty minutes later, no centipede.
By this point, the man is wondering what's going on. So he goes to the
front door, opens it, and there's the centipede sitting right outside.
The man says, "Hey! I sent you down to the corner store 45 minutes ago to
get me a newspaper. What's the matter?!"
The centipede says,
I'm going! I'm going! I'm just putting on my shoes
just some thoughts...
I was thinking about how a status symbol of today is those cell phones that everyone has clipped on. I can't afford one so I'm wearing my garage door opener
You know, I spent a fortune on deodorant before I realized that people didn't like me anyway
I have gotten that dreaded furniture disease.... that's when your chest is falling into your drawers
And for the best one of All I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older then it dawned on me . . they were cramming for their finals
rescission
Pronunciation: /ri-SIZH-in/
n : the act of revoking, repealing, or annulling
TODAY'S REFLECTION
Wherever you go, I will go . . . your people shall be my people, and your God, my God Ruth 1:16
Promises spoken at a wedding are full of hope and meaning, but Ruth's words have survived the centuries because of her unwavering commitment to God and a person in need. She points us to the value of loving sacrifice for the Lord, and to His rich blessing on all who give themselves unselfishly to others.
David McCasland
Please pray for God's protection of
our troops and HIS wisdom for their
commanders.
Lord, hold our troops in your loving hands. Protect them as they protect us. Bless them and their families
for the selfless acts they perform for us
in our time of need. I ask this in the
name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior
