Can I Trust You?
March 1, 2012

According to lie-detection experts, “Our natural tendency is to trust people.” However, not everyone is trustworthy all the time. Signs that someone may be lying include fidgeting, lack of eye contact, and noticeable pauses in speaking. Even with these clues, experts warn that it is still quite tough to tell deceivers from honest people.

Joshua needed to know if he could trust the Gibeonites. When they discovered that God wanted him to get rid of some neighboring nations (Josh. 9:24), they pretended to be from a faraway land. They arrived in worn-out tunics and patched sandals, claiming, “Our garments and our sandals have become old because of the very long journey” (v.13). The Israelites were suspicious (v.7), but they “did not ask counsel of the Lord” (v.14); and Joshua unwisely made a peace treaty with the deceivers.

Many want to gain our trust: salespeople, financial advisors, or estranged family members. If we wonder: “Can I trust you?” we shouldn’t decide quickly, based only on what seems right to us. It’s better to seek counsel from God’s Word (Ps. 119:105), godly people (Prov. 11:14), and God Himself (James 1:5). Wisdom from above will help us decide who to trust.

Protect us from deceivers, Lord,
Who lie and plot to take
Advantage of us and confuse
Decisions we must make. —Sper

A desire for discernment is God’s call to prayer.

Read: Joshua 9:1-16

The Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. —1 Chronicles 28:9

Bible in a Year:
Joshua 7-9

SOUP FOR THE TROOPS

WELCOME TO

(where our troops, allies and their families can refresh themselves)

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today's activities

I'm always awed by the things our guys and gals in the military do.
from SUPER INSERTION...
to...CHILD CHECK...
to...RESCUE MISSION...
to...SILENT DRILL TEAM

~ Today...Sunny.
Highs in the upper 60s.
West winds 15 to 20 mph.

~ Tonight...Mostly clear.
Lows around 40.
Northwest winds 5 to 10 mph...
Becoming northeast after midnight.

Alrighty, we had rain last night like Noah was expected
then woke up to dense fog at the homestead
which quickly dispersed on the way to work
now the sun is announcing the beginning
of a glorious day.

Making Z Zoup
A dash of this...a dash of that...

The Curly Redwood Lodge
is one of northern California’s most unique lodges.
It was built from one curly redwood tree
that produced 57,000 board feet of lumber.
The tree – cut down in 1952 – was 18 feet, 2 inches at the trunk.
Curly redwood is unique because of the curly grain of the wood,
unlike typical straight grained redwood.
(Huh, bet the tree huggers today would go bananas)

There are locusts that have an adult life span
of only a few weeks or so,
after having lived in the ground
as grubs for fifteen years.

The electric eel
is the most shocking animal on Earth
— no other animal packs such a big charge.
If attacking a large prey,
a 9-foot-long eel can discharge about 800 volts.
One zap could stun a human.
The larger the eel, the bigger the charge.
(not that's scary...9 foot eel? That's taller than most humans)

The classic toy wagon was designed by Antonio Pasin,
who founded his company in 1918.
Pasin wanted to give his wagons a modern flair,
and chose the word "radio"
for what was then a new form of communication,
and "flyer" for the wonder of flight
– hence, "Radio Flyer."

I've got to make my rounds.
But, you stay right where you are.
Keep the troops entertained and the Canteen clean...
Cause...if you don't...I'll tell Ma!

Come in and sit for a while.

There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

PLEASE REMEMBER THEM ....
