Space Scouts
February 8, 2011

Many of the first astronauts were once Boy Scouts. The scouts were good at capturing the imagination of young boys and instilling discipline to reach their goals—even if it meant reaching for the stars.

On July 20, 1969, the Boy Scouts were busy celebrating at a conference. During the gathering, the scouts were delighted to hear from former Eagle Scout Neil Armstrong, who sent them greetings from space. One of their own had grown up to realize a wonderful dream!

In some ways, the Christian home can be like a loving, spiritual scout camp. The Bible encourages parents to provide a positive growth environment for children in the home. Parents are exhorted to “bring [children] up in the training and admonition of the Lord” (Eph. 6:4). “To bring up” refers to nourishing children by providing resources for their physical, mental, and spiritual needs. “Training” includes concern about all aspects of a child’s development. And “admonition” speaks of providing direction by well-chosen words uniquely suited to each child.

Let’s strive to make our home a place where loving discipline enables the children in our charge to reach their potential for God’s glory.

They are buds of hope and promise,
Possessed by Him whose name is Love;
Lent us here to train and nourish
For a better life above. —Crosby

What you put into your children’s hearts today influences their character for tomorrow.

Read: Ephesians 6:1-4

You, fathers, . . . bring [your children] up in the training and admonition of the Lord. —Ephesians 6:4
Bible in a year:
Leviticus 4-5; Matthew 24:29-51

A GREAT DAY

Good morning, God. Thank You, for Your loving care and protection through the night and for the light of this new day.

Thank You, God, for this day, which is filled with promise of happy and worthwhile activities and experiences. I accept this day with gratitude.

Thank You, God, that wherever I am, You are also.

On this wonderful day, a sense of peace and security that follows my conviction and sure knowledge that You, dear God, are my instant and constant help in every need.

I give thanks for the assurance of Your care, knowing that it is in You that I live, move, and have my being.

Wherever I go this wonderful day, You light my path.

God Your presence is with me this wonderful day, and every day, forever.

In Jesus’ Name

Amen

Funny Police Quotes

“The handcuffs are tight because they’re new. They’ll stretch out after you wear them awhile.”

“If you run, you’ll only go to jail tired.”

“So, you don’t know how fast you were going. I guess that means I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?”

“Yes sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don’t think it will help. Oh, did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?”

“Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I’m warning you not to do that again or I’ll give you another ticket.”

“The answer to this last question will determine whether you are drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or dog?”

“Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a toaster oven.”

“Life’s tough, it’s tougher if you’re stupid.”

“No sir, we don’t have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we’re allowed to write as many tickets as we want.”

“Just how big were those two beers?

“In God we trust, all others are suspects.”

A man has to be quick-witted when he’s caught in a tight spot. So it is with the man whose wife is downtown shopping and decides to pay him a surprise visit at work.

There’s no one at the reception desk, so she walks into his office and finds her husband with his secretary sitting on his lap.

Without hesitating a moment, the fellow dictates, “And in conclusion, gentlemen, shortage or no shortage, I cannot continue to operate this office with just one chair.”
