Morning!
Did you see the NJ psychiatrist who had her luggage blown to tiny bits?
She said to the ticket agent "If I had a bomb, you'd never find it."

What could she expect? You shouldn't joke about a bomb when you're at an airport. Sheesh.

Serving With Limitations
My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness. -2 Corinthians 12:9
When he was not yet 4 years old, Itzhak Perlman was stricken by polio, making him unable to use his legs. But he compensated for that loss by devoting himself to his violin. In the years that followed, he delighted multitudes of people with his music. He lost the use of his legs but his music gave him wings. What an inspiring example of devotion!
Some of God's servants have shown a similar devotion to their Lord. They have suffered the loss of certain abilities but have been inspired to develop other capacities for service. For example, when William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, discovered that he was going blind, he did not surrender to despair. With a positive outlook, he told his colleagues that he had served Christ while he could see, and he would do his utmost to serve Him even when blind.
What motivates Christians to keep on serving and following Jesus to the best of their ability despite loss or hardship? Like Abraham, we live by faith. We look beyond this life and wait "for the city . . . whose builder and maker is God" (Hebrews 11:10). It's "a better . . . heavenly country" (v.16).
May the Holy Spirit empower us to glorify Christ-no matter what our limitations. -Vernon Grounds
Give me, Savior, a purpose deep,
In joy or sorrow Thy trust to keep;
And so through trouble, care, and strife,
Glorify Thee in my daily life. -Bell
Circumstances that imprison us cannot limit God's work through us.

Graphic by Billie
Which Way?
Through the valleys and over hills,
Both up and down Id crept.
I fell asleep for I was tired,
So very long I slept.
Is it rising? Is it setting?
I must say I dont know.
That must be east or maybe west,
Now, which way do I go?
If I just wait a little while,
It will get dark or light.
I really hope its rising though,
Dont want to spend the night.
To sleep out here among the stars,
With nature all around.
On second thought I hope it sets,
Ill sit here on the ground.
But if its rising I will turn,
And walk toward the west.
I really like the rising sun,
But setting suns the best.

I must say I dont know. I remember years ago when I worked at Texas Instruments one
summer between college semesters. The first few days I was on
the second shift, working from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. Talk about
discombobulated with time! I was glad they put me on the 7 a.m.
to 7 p.m. shift.
