SOTP! YOU'RE KILLING ME WITH YOUR SIGNS!

.

[jaycee]

Isn’t it funny how we all live in so many parts of the country and the same email hits us all about the same time. Of course some of them have been recycled! Mine had about ten signs in it!

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! ;-)

[Mama_Bear]

LOL! That is funny.

[jaycee]

We gotta laugh some, don't we? I get so much funny stuff in email and I guess everyone does. Some are so funny, I literally laugh out loud sitting right here at the computer!

[yorkie]

Amy - you know what I love the smell of? Puppy breath. ;-)

[JustAmy]

Hmmmmm

I’m not sure I have ever smelled Puppy Breath.

I don’t like the smell of Dog Breath!

[yorkie]

No, not ‘dog’ breath, but little puppies. Under five weeks old - It is the sweetest smell - Gives me the nesting urge - makes me want to adopt a little furry kid.

[Kitty Mittens]

Hope your day has been nice, Kitty!

Thank you, Sweet jaycee, and I Hope that Frost doesn't Show Up in your Area. It was a Nice Day Today, and I've about Finished my Spring Cleaning at my Shepherd-King's Ranch. My Next Project that I Keep Putting Off is to Paint Part of the Outside of the House. There Sure is a Lot to Do at this Time of the Year. I Hope you had a Beautiful Day, my FRiend!

[MEG33]

John P. Holland, father of the first modern submarine

The original Holland was the US Navy's first submarine and designated SS-1.
A gasoline powered submersible with its single torpedo tube, SS-1 was designed
and built by John Phillip Holland in 1897. The tiny craft was purchased by the Navy
for $166,000 and commissioned in 1900. She and her five sister ships served as
prototypes for the Navy to test equipment, systems and tactics for future submarines.

And, no, it was not built by modifying an Eskimo's kayak. Next question.

A Personal Gospel

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Romans 10:13-17

Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. —Mark 16:15

In John 3:16 we read, "For God so loved the world." But what about His love for individuals? The rest of the verse reveals the central purpose behind God's sacrifice of His Son: "That whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." Therefore, without exception, every person may interpret John 3:16 like this: "For God so loved me!"

A. B. Simpson, a great missionary of the past, often hugged a globe to his chest and wept over the world's lostness. Yet his global vision was marked by compassion for individuals. You and I also must feel the responsibility to take the gospel to our world—by sharing the good news with one person at a time.

Unfortunately, we often think of the Great Commission in terms of "foreign missions" only. "World missions" is perhaps a better term, for that includes our nearest neighbors, who are part of the world to which God has called us. And we are already there!

Like A. B. Simpson, embrace your smaller world through earnest prayer as you consider lost individuals in your family, neighborhood, and workplace. Then, as you seek to live and give the good news, expect God to open doors of opportunity.

Jesus died to bring salvation
For the rich and for the poor;
Those of every tribe and nation—
He includes the ones next door. —Anon.

The light that shines farthest, shines brightest at home.

Bible in One Year: 1 Samuel 19–21; Proverbs 11:1-11
