Starstop

If you happen to be cruising, out among the stardust,
And are looking for a place to stop, to slake your wanderlust.
I’d like to recommend this Place, for all its open minds,
It’s just the perfect spot for a star-traveler who unwinds.

Just sit and listen for awhile, you’ll notice that we ramble,
And then step up and hold the mike, and have a little gamble.
You’ll find that we won’t criticize your distant way of thinking,
For all of us have relatives who’ve done a little drinking.

We’ll listen to your story with polite attentive nods,
As if we had just been there in our personal starship pods.
For we are stellar lovers who would flit about the stars,
It’s only our bad luck that we are stuck here in our cars.

Evenin' Amy.

Found this buried in my inbox...


On a plane flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly,the
plane stopped in Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant
Explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to
get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes.
Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind My
buddy had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the man was blind
because his guide dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him
throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this
very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him
by name said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would
you like to get off and stretch your legs? The blind man replied, "No
thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs."

Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete stand
still when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a
guide dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered.
They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change
airlines!

A Matter Of Taste

Read: 2 Corinthians 6:1-7:1

Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. —2 Corinthians 7:1

Bible In One Year: Psalms 46-48; Acts 28

---

Two cockroaches decided to visit their favorite restaurant. While the larger of the two was enjoying his meal, the smaller one said,“You wouldn’t believe the house I just left. It was spotless. The lady had to be a cleanaholic. Everything was immaculate—the sink, the counter, the floors. You couldn’t find a crumb anywhere.”The other cockroach stopped his munching, looked with some annoyance at his companion, and said,“Do you have to talk like that while I’m eating?"

This story about roaches can apply to human nature as well. The second letter to the Corinthians shows that Paul’s readers had much to learn about clean living. They needed to develop a stronger hunger and thirst for righteousness. So the apostle pleaded with them to turn away from all filthiness (7:1). He reminded them that God wants His people to separate themselves from spiritual garbage.

If “cleanness”of heart sounds unappealing, perhaps we’ve been satisfied with the crumbs of our earthly desires. We need to learn to savor the flavor of godliness.

Father, forgive us for feeding the cravings of our sinful flesh. Help us to cultivate instead the tastes that Your Holy Spirit wants to produce in us. —Mart De Haan

If we desire to taste what’s good
And lose our taste for sin,
We must with ruthless honesty
Expose the dirt within. —D. De Haan


Sin cannot flourish where godliness is cultivated.
