ah'd twist it -- like this -- until it yelled 'Uncle Fuddly, stop it!' Yup, dat's what ah'd do."

Right Spirit

Read:
Luke 12:4-7

Fear Him who . . . has power to cast into hell. . . . Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. —Luke 12:5,7

Bible In One Year: Zechariah 11-14

I once read some theology on the bumper of a car in front of me. It said, "If you go to hell, don't blame Jesus!" The slogan apparently was an attempt by the driver to do some evangelism. I gave him credit for trying, but I wondered if those who saw that warning felt it was put there in love.

Reverend Newman Smith had a doctrinal dispute with Baptist preacher Robert Hall. So Smith wrote a stinging pamphlet denouncing Hall. Unable to select an appropriate title, he sent the pamphlet to a friend and asked him for a suggestion.

Smith had previously written a tract called "Come To Jesus." After his friend read his bitter tirade against Hall, he sent it back with a brief note. "The title I suggest for your pamphlet is this: 'Go to Hell' by the author of 'Come To Jesus.'"

One of the most disturbing assertions in the Bible is that men and women who reject Jesus will spend eternity separated from God. Even more unsettling, virtually everything we know about hell comes from the lips of Jesus. Yet when Jesus spoke of hell, He did so with accents of love.

When we witness to our neighbors, we should ask ourselves these questions: "Is this what God wants me to say?" and "Is this how He wants me to say it?" —Haddon Robinson

Give me a spirit of love today
In everything that I do and say;
I would be loving and kind and true,
Asking myself what Jesus would do. —Hess

Difficult truth should be wrapped in the language of love.

I am the egg man

September 14, 2005

THE world record for balancing the most number of eggs on their end at one time has been cracked in Melbourne.

American Brian Spotts, who travelled from Colorado for the Guinness Book of Records attempt, began his feat at 6pm and finished 15 hours later after standing 439 eggs on end.

He succeeded in breaking the former record of 420 and also claimed the record for "fastest time to balance a dozen eggs" in four minutes, two seconds.

Mr Spotts said he started balancing eggs in fifth grade when his brother told him it was an easy thing to do on the Equinox – the first day of spring or autumn.

"The day is equal to the night and supposedly the gravity is vertical that day, but it really doesn't make any difference, it doesn't have any effect on the egg," he said.

But it was something that caught the boy's fancy and he still balances eggs now he's a father to newborn Tyler, and works a day job, hanging window coverings.

"It was mostly just something fun to do," Mr Spotts says of his foray into egg balancing.

"When you did it everyone usually gave you that amazed look, like wooh, what'd you do with that egg. Everyone knows what eggs are but they don't think about balancing them."

Happy World Egg Day!
