Peanuts Quiz

My sermon today at TLBC was on the three most obscure disiples listed amont the 12 Apostles. Find the outline on the front page of our church web site and do a study of these men. Click on the TLBC link over on the right.


Peanuts Quiz.

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip. You don't have to actually answer the questions. Just read the quiz straight through, and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.


How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.




Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special

5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.




Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards. They are the ones that care.
Pass this on to those people who have made a difference in your life.

I Won the UK Lottery!

I WON! Can you believe that?

RIGHT......


I got this email. It said I won the UK Lottery. I thought... that's strange... I have never bought a lottery ticket in my life.


The email explained that it was a random selection of email addresses that were assigned certain "LOT numbers" and MINE was a winner in the 3rd category. It said that I had to contact a JAMES COLE to make arrangements to collect my one million five hundred thousand sterling pounds.


Out of curiosity I typed in lottery fraud and did a search on the net. Sure enough, our friend JAMES, his company and several of his email addresses was on a list of online identy thiefs who use the lottery fraud scam to steal funds from folks.

I forwarded the email from JAMES to Interpol. Want to learn more about this scam?

I'm looking forward to prayer meeting tonight at TLBC. I have so much to be thankful for. Don't you?

Yours in Christ,

Run in the Rain

What do you know about the Apostle Bartholomew? My sermon about him this morning at TLBC is posted on our church website: http://www.thelordsbaptistchurch.com

Tomorrow is a holiday and I took Tuesday off from work as vacation so we are enjoying a nice long weekend. It is going to be great this summer when I retire from Transit. I'm really looking forward to it. Naturally I'll always stay busy in the Ministry and will continue to enjoy the benefits of my home biz. Here is a link to a nice Networking group that I'm in and you can join for free. http://tinyurl.com/czrxx

RUN IN THE RAIN

A little girl had been shopping with her Mom in Target. She must have been 6 years old, this beautiful red haired, freckle faced image of innocence. It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the earth it has no time to flow down the spout.

We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of Target. We waited, some patiently, others irritated because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens washing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child came pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day.

The little voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in "Mom, let's run through the rain," she said.

"What?" Mom asked.

"Let's run through the rain!" She repeated.

"No, honey. We'll wait until it slows down a bit," Mom replied.

This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain,"

"We'll get soaked if we do," Mom said.

"No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm.

This morning? When did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?

"Don't you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, 'If God can get us through this, he can get us through anything!"

The entire crowd stopped dead silent. You couldn't hear anything but the rain. We all stood silently. No one came or left in the next few minutes. Mom paused and thought for a moment about what she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being silly. Some might even ignore what was said. But this was a moment of affirmation in a young child's life. A time when innocent trust can be nurtured so that it will bloom into faith.

"Honey, you are absolutely right. Let's run through the rain. If GOD let's us get wet, well maybe we just needed washing," Mom said.

Then off they ran. We all stood watching, smiling and laughing as they darted past the cars and yes, through the puddles. They held their shopping bags over their heads just in case.

They got soaked.

But they were followed by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the way to their cars. And yes, I did. I ran. I got wet. I needed washing.

Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, they can take away your money, and they can take away your health. But no one can ever take away your precious memories...So, don't forget to make time and take the opportunities to make memories everyday.

To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
I HOPE YOU STILL TAKE THE TIME TO RUN THROUGH THE RAIN.
They say, it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
