My mom once said to me "Don't look at me with that tone of voice!"
I'm still trying to figure that one out. :)

Did You Know?

I like to use the site Moments with the Book .   It is a great site for ordering tracts and for finding other wonderful information.  You may notice that one one of my pages (at the bottom) I have a tract that displays from their site.  Below I found some interesting facts from a back issue of Moments for You .  This is a free booklet, that can be read on line or you can order it by mail.  Did You Know That...? In just one second, the sun releases more energy than mankind has produced since the creation, including all the engines, power plants, and weapons ever constructed.

Each star bears a unique "fingerprint" or spectrum in its light pattern.

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise.  The world needs our practical witness of a holy life.  and we need to give our personal wealth.  God does not need our gifts-but we need to give.  The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson
