Need a new motor home, from the folks in Oz, I think, comes this beauty...

Motor home not your style. How about something like this for a lake/retirement cabin, hmmmm?

This Boeing 737 is set up so that it can rotate with the wind, or you can rotate it yourself.

Now I know what to do if I hit a big lottery payoff :-)

Got some time to kill? You can find the specs and info here(Maxpoweraero)

The Dead Sea Squirrels

READ: Deuteronomy 6:4-9

You shall teach them diligently to your children. —Deuteronomy 6:7 Our family was excited to visit the  Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit that was coming to town all the way from Israel. These ancient copies of the Old Testament provide evidence that our Bible has remained accurate over the centuries. Our nephew Daniel was so elated about this outing that he told his schoolmates, “Our family is going to see ‘the dead sea squirrels!’” We all laughed when we heard his misquote. His little ears had turned a word he had never heard (scrolls) into a word he did know (squirrels). And in his childlike enthusiasm, he also knew that the family was going to see something wonderful!

Daniel’s excitement underscores an important spiritual aspect of parenting. Values are transmitted to our children not only by what we say but by the emotions we convey. Both content and heartfelt appreciation for God’s Word can be communicated to children in a variety of ways (Deut. 6:4-9), including what they overhear in our conversation with others.

Young children may not initially understand each spiritual idea we discuss, but they can catch the importance we place on it. Children pick up on spiritual values and grow in understanding as we express reverence and excitement about the Word of God. Dennis Fisher

Lord, give us wisdom to provide
The proper atmosphere
To lead our children in Your ways
By what they see and hear.  —Sper

Train up a child in the way he should go—but be sure you go that way yourself.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 3-4; Hebrews 11:20-40

One of my co-workers has the flag from her Veteran Father that was given to the family at the funeral. Up until a few years ago, it was not in a case; the exposed side of the flag apparently is a little dirty. 

Her question to me is: "Where can the flag be properly cleaned/restored & folded back in the cocked-hat?"

Anybody know of any business that does this, or that can help with this question?

Any good dry cleaner can clean it and if she cannot fold it herself she could ask a nearby VFW or to help or any veterans group.

Hey USMCBOMBGUY, it's good to see you! We don't do much nowadays, (dial-up and our own work) but with help from alfa6 we are still keeping it alive at least!

Hope you are doing well. Settled in? Any more trips lately?

Word Hunger

READ: Psalm 119:97-104

As newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the Word, that you may grow thereby. —1 Peter 2:2

I had just completed a night of Bible conference ministry in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and was chatting with some of the people who had attended. At the end of the line was a young man in his twenties. He shared with me that he had been a Christ-follower for only about 4 months, and he was eager to learn more of the teachings of the Bible. I referred him to the RBC Web site with the Discovery Series topics as one possible resource for his personal study.

The next night the young man returned to the conference and shared that he had stayed up until 3:30 reading and processing the biblical truths he discovered in that online resource. With a big smile on his face, he declared that he just couldn’t get enough of God’s Word (1 Peter 2:2).

What spiritual hunger! That excited young man is a reminder to us of the wonder of the Bible and its heart-enriching truths. It’s all too easy for us to ignore God’s Book in a world filled with voices screaming for our attention. But only in the Bible can we find God’s wisdom for our struggles, God’s answers for our questions, and God’s truths for our understanding. These truths are worth hungering for. Bill Crowder

For Further Study
If you’re interested in digging deeper into the Bible, review the Discovery Series at www.discoveryseries.org. You’ll find more than 150 topics.

Study the Bible to be wise; believe it to be safe; practice it to be holy.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 5-7; Hebrews 12

Cleaning Out The Files

Forgetting those things which are behind . . . I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. —Philippians 3:13-14

A certain businessman was notorious for saving almost everything that came across his desk—especially correspondence. Consequently, the files in his office were bulging. One day his secretary asked if she might dispose of all the old, useless material. The man was reluctant, but finally said, “Well, all right, but be sure you make a copy of everything before you throw it away.”

That’s the way some Christians handle their sins. They know that Jesus paid the penalty, but somehow they can’t let go of the guilt. It’s as if Christ’s suffering were not enough, and they must contribute some of their own anguish by continually lamenting their failures. They want to keep copies of everything they’ve done. How foolish!

The apostle Paul wanted nothing of this. He accepted as an accomplished fact the removal of all his guilt before God because Christ’s death had marked PAID IN FULL over his account. The memory of earlier days remained vivid, but it didn’t weigh him down.

Everything that happens to us is retained in that remarkable filing system called “memory.” A wise forgetfulness based on Christ’s atoning sacrifice can keep all guilt feelings from cluttering up our life. Dennis J. De Haan

The Lord forgives our sins because of Calvary,
And He Himself remembers them no more;
So let us not be burdened with their memory,
But look ahead to all He has in store.  —Hess

Guilt is a burden God never intended His children to bear.

Bible in One Year:   Ezekiel 8-10; Hebrews 13
