Home Stretch
Why does a fireman not wear red suspenders?
The answer seems quite clear.
He’s had some help in setting out,
His clothes and other gear!
Those galluses have stretched the point,
And good will has been squandered.
The Chief will not believe somehow,
That they have up and wandered!
Let’s get the pups back in their pen,
And do it on the double.
The Chief left me in charge of them,
I think I’ve spotted trouble!

Read: Deuteronomy 4:5-14
Take heed to yourself, . . . lest you forget the things your eyes have seen . . . . And teach them to your children. —Deuteronomy 4:9
Bible In One Year: Isaiah 45-46; 1 Thessalonians 3
David Isay, a radio producer, says that in a culture inundated with the stories of celebrities, we need to hear the recorded voices of ordinary people, because their lives and contributions are no less important. Isay is a driving force behind StoryCorps, "a national project to instruct and inspire people to record each other's stories in sound."
It's a great concept, especially for Christians. Think what it would mean for your great-great-grandchildren to hear and see you telling the story of your life—describing the people and events that shaped you and sharing what Christ means to you.
Just before God's people entered the Promised Land, Moses told them: "Only take heed to yourself, and diligently keep yourself, lest you forget the things your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. And teach them to your children and your grandchildren" (Deuteronomy 4:9).
That same responsibility of face-to-face communication is still ours. Yet we have the unusual opportunity of leaving a message for future generations. Begin recording your own uniquely important story. Or help a friend or relative record theirs. There is great value in the stories of ordinary people who know and love the Lord. —David McCasland

This is not intended to be a counterweight to St.Louie1's postings of friendship.
Sewing Lovers Day
Grouch Day
Are You a GROUCH?
Have you noticed how people who are grouchy never seem to know it? Is someone you know a grouch? Could it be that YOU are a grouch and unaware of it? Here’s a little quiz to help you decide:
Do you go to bed hoping that you will wake up in a bad mood?
Do you ever pretend to be sleeping to keep from having to talk to anyone?
Do you often speak in short grunts instead of using words?
Do your teeth ever feel sore from grinding them together?
Do you wake up in the mornings with a bad breath and an attitude to match?
Have you ever screamed at the alarm clock?
Do you avoid taking pictures because you really don’t want to remember?
Do you often complain that a restaurant is no good, or a good restaurant could have been better?
Do you frequently use the phrase: "Get Over It"?
Have you ever volunteered to be the designated wet blanket at a party?
Do you like it when people avoid you because you’d rather not be bothered anyhow?
Is a major source of your nutrition black coffee and aspirin?
Have you never had a GOOD hair day?
Do you call vacations a reason for slackers to avoid working?
Did the local undertaker advise you to cheer up?
Do you love a traffic jam as it gives you a reason to rant?
Do think taxes are too high, politicians are crooks, and there’s no point in voting because it won’t do any good?
Is your best moment when you say to someone, "I told you so!" ?
Are you are always in a hurry to get there late?
Do you ever argue with the newscaster, the sports announcer, or MTV?
When someone says, "How are you?" do you tell them the truth?
Is the some of the best advice you give when you tell people where to go?
Do you avoid celebrating birthdays because smoke from candles aggravates your allergies?
Are you afraid to smile as it might break something?
Does your dog only like you when its time for his food?
Do people walk around you on tiptoes?
Do you avoid television because there’s nothing worth watching?
Can you spit nails faster than a nail gun?
When you walk into a room does the temperature fall?
Have you ever been accused of snarling?
Have you been offered a transfer to the Complaint Department at your company?
Are you unable to remember why you are mad?
Do you use your spouse or co-workers as a sounding board or a dart board?
Would you have to improve your disposition to be a called pessimist?
Could your attitude benefit from CPR?
If you answered yes to most of the above, you are probably perfectly normal. If you denied them all, you are undoubtedly a grouch and need a major attitude adjustment.
If you think this should be passed along to some other grouches in your life, feel free to do so. The management is not responsible for accidents.
