A No-Smiling Policy
October 7, 2011
Usually were told to smile before someone takes our picture. But in some parts of the US, a no-smiling policy is enforced when getting your photo taken for a drivers license. Because of identity theft, these motor vehicle departments carefully check new photos that are taken to be sure they dont match photos already in the system. If someone gets a picture taken under a false name, an alarm is sent to the operator. From 1999 to 2009, one state stopped 6,000 people from getting fraudulent licenses. But why no smiling? The technology recognizes a face more easily if the person has a neutral facial expression.
Jesus prescribed a good way to recognize a Christian. He told His disciples, By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another (John 13:35). The ways to show love to fellow believers are as endless as there are people with needs: a note of encouragement, a visit, a meal, a gentle rebuke, a prayer, a Bible verse, a listening ear, even just a friendly smile.
The apostle John wrote, We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren (1 John 3:14). Can others recognize, by our care for fellow Christians, that we know and love the Lord?
For Christians to be recognized
As people who follow the Lord,
Their love for one another is
A virtue that cant be ignored. Sper
One measure of our love for God
is how much we show love to His children.
Read: John 13:31-35
By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.
John 13:35

"Wear Red" Friday
You will soon see a lot of people wearing Red on Fridays. Here's why..... The Americans, who support our troops, are the silent majority. We are not "organized" to reflect who we are, or to reflect what our opinions are. Many Americans, like yourself, and all their friends, simply want to recognize that Americans support our troops. Our idea of showing our solidarity and support for our troops is starting Friday and continuing on each and every Friday, until this is over, that every red-blooded American who supports our young men and women, WEAR SOMETHING RED.
Word of mouth, press, TV -- let's see if we can make the United States, on any given Friday, a sea of red much like a home football game at a University. If every one of our memberships share this with other acquaintances, fellow workers, friends, and neighbors, I guarantee that it will not be long before the USA will be covered in RED - and make our troops know there are many people thinking of their well-being. You will feel better all day Friday when you wear Red! So let's get the word out and lead by example; wear RED on Fridays.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS! WE LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE OF THE BRAVE. FOR US, THEIR BLOOD RUNS RED!! GOD BLESS AMERICA.

We are here to shine our light ... to the glory of God.
Let us do it. SHINE ON!

Those with red hair are SPECIAL and RARE.
It is predicted ... red hair will disappear due to intermarrying. It will simply disappear.
By the way the same thing is said of the white race. It is expected/predicted to disappear due to intermarrying.
I like being white. All people groups have strengths and weaknesses.
God knows!
