GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! We're having chocolate cake with chocolate icing this morning, AND lemon bars! Come on over, we've killed the cake, but there are plenty of lemon bars!


Beatles - Birthday lyrics

You say it's your birthday
It's my birthday too--yeah
They say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party
Yes we're going to a party party.

I would like you to dance--Birthday
Take a cha-cha-cha-chance-Birthday
I would like you to dance--Birthday
Dance

You say it's your birthday
Well it's my birthday too--yeah
You say it's your birthday
We're gonna have a good time
I'm glad it's your birthday
Happy birthday to you.

At last--Today's your Special Day!
The World all stops to shout hooray!
We wish you peace and joy and fun
Today you're the exalted one.
So have a drink or a cigar,
Go to the beach or buy a car.
And cut a piece of chocolate cake
Just after a big juicy steak.
And everywhere you go today
The crowds will part, as people say,
"Oh bliss, oh glee, oh happy whirl!"
And thrill to see the birthday girl!
So dance and sing and have a ball!
A Happy Birthday from us all!

Stay Home And Keep Them

Read: James 1:21-27

Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only. —James 1:22

Bible In One Year: Psalms 77-78; Romans 10

---

A church member told his pastor that he was going to the Holy Land. He said that it was his intention to visit Mount Sinai. "In fact," he told the minister, "I plan to climb to the top of that mountain, and read the Ten Commandments aloud when I get there."

Thinking this would please the pastor, he was surprised to hear, "You know, I can think of something even better than that." The man responded, "You can, Pastor? And what might that be?"

He replied rather bluntly, "Instead of traveling thousands of miles to read the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, why not stay right here at home and keep them?"

God wants us to read His Word, of course. But more important, He wants us to obey it. So, as we open the Bible each day, we should pray not only for illumination to understand it but also for a willingness to obey it. Hearing and doing must go hand-in-hand (James 1:22).

When Saul heard Jesus speaking to him on the road to Damascus, he asked, "Lord, what do You want me to do?" (Acts 9:6). That's a good question for us to ask whenever we read the Bible or hear it read.

Let's be "doers of the Word." —Richard De Haan

We take delight to read God's Word,
We say, "Ah, yes, it's true!"
But we must go beyond mere words
And seek His will to do. —D. De Haan

The Spirit of God enables us to obey the Word of God.

Ooohhh, chocolate cake! Oooohhh, lemon bars! Either one! Since the cake is all gone, hope I'm not to late for a lemon bar or two or three. :)

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays today, PAL!
