AIM HIGH
A college professor prepared a final exam for his students. The test questions were divided into three categories, and the students were instructed to choose questions from only one of the categories. The first category of questions was the hardest and worth fifty points. The second, which was easier, was worth forty points. The third, the simplest, was worth thirty points. Upon completion of the test, students who had chosen the hardest fifty-point questions were given As. The students who had chosen the forty-point questions received Bs. Those who had settled for the easiest thirty-pointers were given Cs Some of the students were frustrated with the grading of their papers and asked the professor what he was looking for. The professor leaned over the podium, smiled, and explained, 'I wasnt testing your book knowledge. I was testing your aim.'" Robert Kriegel put it this way: "The key is to have a dream that inspires you to go beyond your limits."

LOL!
I had a make-up lesson (kid was late getting home from camp yesterday, so I bumped her lesson to this morning) and this afternoon, i rehearsed with the guitar player.
She’s gone ELECTRIC! WOO HOO!
Lynn-Dah luxuriated in the A/C for most of the day. The Dog park is like a hot griddle on days like this.

No dirt time today. I spent about an hour and a half chauffeuring the Bairns MacNessa to and from work.
My right knee has been acting up since Thursday Night. I hope this is not a harbinger of more to come.

A Shared Bond
August 3, 2014
Read: Ephesians 2:11-18
When I needed a locksmith to get into my car, I had a pleasant surprise. After he arrived and began opening my little Fords door, we began chatting and I recognized his warm, familiar accent.
It turned out that my rescuer was originally from Jamaicaa land Ive visited often and have grown to love. This changed a negative event into a positive one. We were in a small way kindred spirits because of our shared love for that beautiful island nation.
This struck me as a reminder of an even greater camaraderiethe joy of meeting someone new and discovering that he or she is also a believer in Christ.
In some places, this is not unusual because there are many believers. But in those lands where there are few believers, the joy of meeting someone else who loves Jesus must be even greater. Its thrilling to share together the amazing reality of the freedom from sin we have through Christ!
For all who know Jesus, there is a shared bond, a oneness in Christ (Gal. 3:28), a joy of fellowship that can brighten even the darkest day. Praise God that He brings a bond of unity to all who know Him as Savior.
What a miracle it is, dear Lord, that You can
bring together people of all tribes, tongues, and
nations to be like-minded in Christto share
a bond of love and affection for Jesus.
Christian fellowship builds us up and binds us together.
In the days of Jesus and Paul, there was a religious and social divide between Jews and Gentiles. So great was this divide that Jews avoided contact with Gentiles as much as possible, even erecting walls in the temple courtyard to keep themselves separated. However, both Jesus and Paul spoke of the gospel as crossing all social and national boundaries. Jesus sent the apostles to all the nations (Matt. 28:19) and to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8), and He broke down the wall of separation (Eph. 2:14).
