Sharing A Little Water

I received the following email as it appears below. The very last sentence is SO true. If it hasn't already happened, I hope your heart will be awakened to how much animals really need our love and care.

Email:

At 120 degrees in Australia, it was so hot for a week that Koalas were asking people for water. It's never before been seen.




One went to a house to try to hide from the heat and to get a bit of shade and here's what happened when the owner gave him something to drink. It's really cute.








Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.

A Bit of Humor

Please take a quick look at the following 20 second video before reading the rest of this post which continues after the video. Once you resume reading the rest of this post, keep what you have seen in the video in mind.

First, a little background for those who don't follow politics or live in a different country. President Obama wants to pass a questionable version of a healthcare reform bill which has become a heated and mostly partisan issue. In this portion of his speecch to Congress, Obama, a Democrat, is explaining what the bill will not do. Representative Joe Wilson, a Republican, shouts out, "You lie!" because he doesn't believe Obama is telling the truth. (Rep. Wilson later apologized to President Obama for his rude behavior.)





SCROLL



One morning during the church service our Calvinist Pastor (we're Arminians) announced that he would soon be begin an expository teaching on the book of Romans. A minute later my husband hands me a note. It read:

"When he gets to Romans 9 you must refrain from shouting, "You Lie!""

Needless to say, I struggled to maintain my compsure going back and forth from a poker face to a smile for a few minutes. :-)

Please know that we LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our pastor. Hubby was just having a little fun.

The Economy Is So Bad That...

The economy is so bad that I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

It's so bad, I ordered a burger at McDonalds and the kid behind the counter asked, "Can you afford fries with that?"

The economy is so bad that CEO's are now playing miniature golf.

The economy is so bad if the bank returns your check marked "Insufficient Funds," you call them and ask if they meant you or them.

The economy is so bad Hot Wheels and Matchbox stocks are trading higher than GM.

The economy is so bad McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

The economy is so bad parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children's names.

The economy is so bad a truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico .

The economy is so bad Dick Cheney took his stockbroker hunting.

The economy is so bad Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore.

The economy is so bad the Mafia is laying off judges.

The economy is so bad Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

And finally...

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. Oh Great!! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

Gimme Shelter

I love the song Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones (with vocalist Merry Clayton--very powerful, listen closely) and I love the way Mick Jagger and Ben Affleck have teamed up to raise funds and bring awareness to the atrocities happening in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It's too bad that these people aren't being given the gospel of Jesus Christ that they might be saved and be changed.

It is unfortunate that campaigns of awareness such as these are mostly done through celebrities and non-Christian entities. I'm not saying that the Christian world isn't trying to feed and medically heal the the poor because they are, but the Christian world seems to be more concerned with itself rather than with others. Having spectacular buildings and compounds are more important to the Christian these days than starving, oppressed and lost souls.

Much more could be said, but I fear we will soon be reaping what we have been sowing.

Bravo!
