TODAY’S QUOTE

What I do today is important because I am exchanging a day of my life for it.

Hugh Mulligan

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!

OVER THE HUMP DAY!

7/11/07

Maybe this will be a lucky day??? 7 and 11 are supposed to be lucky numbers! In one of my Bible studies they talked about the number 7 being the perfect number…after all on the 7th day God took a rest and all was very good.

I don’t know the significance of the number 11.

We did not get any showers yesterday, but today is supposed to be much cooler. At one point the radio station I was listening to at work said it was 99 degrees here yesterday. Today will be upper 70’s. Thank the good Lord!

Have a great day all ! Another wonderful one on the Way ! 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.

25 WORDS

God, I thank You for today, for the ways You will bless me, and for the ways that I will serve others in Your name

TODAY IS… TRY CAVIAR DAY

Anyway you look at it, the word "caviar" still means fish eggs. They are washed, and then processed with salt to preserve them until eaten. This is a gourmet treat that's delicious, nutritious and... expensive. Best served on toast points, they should be garnished with finely chopped onion, hard boiled eggs and dill or capers. Caviar is also good for preventing hangovers, but it's much cheaper to just drink some cod liver oil.

TODAY’S SMILE

For years my husband denied he was an aggressive driver. That changed one day when we were out for a drive with our three-year old son, Matthew.

Seeing a teaching opportunity, I asked Matthew about traffic lights. "What does a red light mean?" I asked. "Stop."

"Good. How about green?" "Go."

"And yellow?" I continued.

In his best deep-voice impression of Daddy, Matthew bellowed.... "Hang on!"

As the baker, so the buns; as the father, so the sons.

TODAY’S REFLECTION

While Jesus was speaking, an official came forward, knelt down before him, and said, “My daughter has just died. But come, lay your hand on her, and she will live.” Jesus rose and followed him, and so did his disciples. A woman suffering hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the tassel on his cloak. She said to herself, “If only I can touch his cloak, I shall be cured.” Jesus turned around and saw her, and said, “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you.” And from that hour the woman was cured.

Matthew 9: 18-26

No one would say that God needs our faith in order to work his will. He can perform a miracle no matter how little people believe in him. Yet it is also true that our faith opens us up to receive Jesus’ power more fully—something that today’s Gospel story demonstrates in a dramatic way.

In response to this woman’s sincere trust, Jesus confirmed her physical healing and went one step further: “Courage, daughter! Your faith has saved you” (Matthew 9:22).

Jesus poured out spiritual healing as well. We have an omnipotent God who invites us to participate in his works through our faith. If we imitate Jesus by driving unbelief from our midst, we will find ourselves more open to his power.
