Sunday March 21, 2010 thought for the day

FRIENDS

Here are my thoughts for today

1-When you are doing God's business, God is taking care of your business-

2-Forgiveness does not necessarily make things right, but it does make you free-

3-Christians are to be forgiving but not tolerant or condoning-

4-Pain is a teacher of obedience-

5-Live as though God is beside you as indeed he is-

STRANGE THOUGHT-When one engine fails on a twin engine plane, you always have enough power left to get you to the scene of the crash-

I'VE LEARNED-Christmas is God saying "I want to relate to you. I want you to know me as much as I know you"-

DID YOU KNOW-Van Gogh cut off his left ear. His "Self Portrait with Bandaged Ear" shows his right one bandaged because he painted his mirror image-

5 THINGS I WANT TO KNOW

1-Why do we use the Latin word Calvary instead of the Hebrew word Golgotha?

2-Would there have been other crucifixions going on at the same time as that of Jesus and the two thieves?

3-Is there any significance that Jesus was not crucified alone?

4-Why were the Roman soldiers so cruel to Jesus or was this normal behavior for all crucifixions?

5-What caused the Roman Centurian to confess Jesus was the son of God and did he then become a follower of Jesus?

BIBLE TRIVIA-What was the original name of Mara?

Yesterday's answer-Saul (Acts 13:9)

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY PSALM 147:1-9

1 Praise the Lord! It is good to sing praises to our God; it is good and pleasant to praise him.

2 The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; he brings back the captured Israelites.

3 He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.

4 He counts the stars and names each one.

5 Our Lord is great and very powerful. There is no limit to what he knows.

6 The Lord defends the humble, but he throws the wicked to the ground.

7 Sing praises to the Lord; praise our God with harps.

8 He fills the sky with clouds and sends rain to the earth and makes grass grow on the hills.

9 He gives food to the cattle and to the little birds that call.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
