It`s a poor workman who blames his tools
HAPPY ‘FINALLY’ FRIDAY!
It looks like today is going to be another 10 hour day – at least it’s the end of another work week and this weekend should be a fun one. I’ll be getting to bed early tonite as I have to be up early just like a work day tomorrow -- I need to leave the house at 6:30 to head down to the Ren Fest. Please say a little prayer for all our travelers this weekend. Interstate 71 can be a challenge all by itself.
Take good care all !
Have a great day ! Another wonderful one on the Way !
TODAY IS...CHEWING GUM DAY
Chew an entire pack of gum today to celebrate the birthday of William Wrigley, Jr., the man who brought us pure chewing satisfaction.
Modern chewing gum was invented when "chicle" was brought to the U.S. (Chicle is latex sap - much like rubber). In 1870, the first flavored gum, Black Jack, was manufactured. Wrigley was selling Spearmint and Juicy Fruit by 1893. Chiclets and gumballs came in the early 1900s - and Walter Diemer invented Dubble Bubble bubble gum in 1928. The best news is that after WWII, chemists learned how to make artificial gum bases to use instead of chicle

TODAY'S SMILE
A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep when you hit the snooze button.
MNF – ARE YOU READY?
Not quite grasping the sanctity of "Monday Night Football," I plunked myself next to my new husband one Monday night to chat. He was distracted by the action on TV, and after being shushed a few times, I gave him a "look." Immediately contrite, he picked up the remote. "I'm sorry, honey," he apologized, I'm being rude. You go ahead and talk--I'll just turn up the volume
LAST ONE FOR TODAY !
A recent college graduate took a new job in a hilly Eastern city and began commuting each day to work through a tiring array of tunnels, bridges and traffic jams. To make the task less onerous, he invited several of his coworkers to share the ride. He soon found, however, that the commute continued to get more stressful, especially the trips through the tunnels. He consulted the company doctor. "Doc," the frustrated commuter complained, "I'm fine on the bridges, in the traffic, in the day and at night, and even when Joe forgets to bathe all week long. But when I get in the tunnels and I've got those four other guys crowded around me in the car, I get anxious and dizzy and feel like I'm going to explode. What's wrong with me?" Immediately the doctor announced he had identified the ailment.
You have what is known as Carpool Tunnel Syndrome

TODAY'S REFLECTION
What God has said isn't only alive and active! It is sharper than any double-edged sword. His word can cut through our spirits and souls and through our joints and marrow, until he discovers the desires and thoughts of our heart
Hebrews 4:12
If one were forced to defend oneself, a double- edged sword would be a useful weapon. And Paul tells us that God's word is even sharper. It cuts through to the absolute truth and that affects those who study it God's word can meet you wherever you are, what ever your problems. Study it, and you will find answers to every challenge
A Bible that's falling apart probably belongs to someone who isn't
Christian Johnson
