Good night, PAL.

We left for awhile. We needed haircuts so we visited the beauty shop.

Have a delightful evening. See you tomorrow.

[JustAmy]

I considered a Dalmation.

A Good Marine

An old man approached the White House from the park across from Pennsylvania Avenue where he'd been sitting on a park bench.

He spoke to the US Marine standing guard and said, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Clinton."

The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president and no longer resides here."

The old man said, "Okay" and walked away.

The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton."

The Marine again told the man, "Sir, Mr. Clinton is no longer president and no longer resides here."

The man thanked him and again, just walked away.

The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same US Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Clinton."

The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Mr. Clinton. I've told you already that Clinton is no longer president and no longer resides here. Don't you understand?"

The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it."

THE MARINE SNAPPED TO ATTENTION, SALUTED AND SAID, "SEE YOU TOMORROW, SIR!"

Have a great night. SYS.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Hi Kuds! I've been trying to post a little but I've got busy. Sometimes it's hard to freep.

[Terabitten]

Yep, I'm here. I'm working on another song - you'll hear it here first!

[tuliptree76]

Make A Difference

Read: Luke 3:1-20

While Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. —Luke 3:2

Bible In One Year: Job 34-35; Acts 15:1-21

---

Seven men are mentioned in Luke 3, who had political, economic, and religious control over Israel: Roman Emperor Tiberias Caesar, Governor Pontius Pilate, the tetrarchs Herod, Philip, and Lysanias, along with high priests Annas and Caiaphas. While they were in power,“The word of God came to John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he went into all the region around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins”(vv.2-3).

What possible difference could it make for a person with no money and power to respond to God’s word when it seemed that others were so firmly in control? How could the actions of one insignificant person change anything? The answer is revealed in John the Baptist’s message of repentance, his announcement of the coming Messiah (vv.16-17), and his bold confronting of Herod (v.19). John’s role was to prepare the way for Jesus the Messiah, and the world was blessed by his obedience.

Today our task as Christians is to reflect the crucified and risen Savior in everything we do, and to tell others about Him. God calls each of us to live according to His instructions in the Bible. And our response will make all the difference in the world. —David McCasland

The laws of God are true and right;
They stand as firm today
As when He put them in His Word
And told us to obey. —Fasick

Obedience to God is the key to a lasting influence.
