Cybersalt News
Sunday greetings everyone.
This week Rev. James Snyder has been wondering if the Russians have hacked his thermometer. He has also been thinking about how appearances can be deceiving. You can read "Did Someone Just Hack My Thermometer?" at:

There is also a new devotional by my good friend Dr. Harold McNabb. Technically it`s not new, but he just told me about it over coffee this past Friday so it`s new to me. You can read `The Piano`at:

Also, the Westside Bible Church site has been updated with an audio recording of my most recent message.
You can listen to "Deliver Us From Evil - The Lord's Prayer" at:

Diet Skipping
Mr. Lee was terribly overweight, so his doctor put him on a diet.
"I want you to eat regularly for 2 days, then skip a day, and repeat this procedure for 2 weeks. The next time I see you, you'll have lost at least 5 pounds."
When Mr. Lee returned, he shocked the doctor by losing nearly 20 pounds.
"Why, that's amazing!" the doctor said, "Did you follow my instructions?"
Mr. Lee nodded. "I'll tell you though, I thought I was going to drop dead that 3rd day."
"From hunger, you mean?" asked the doctor.
Replied Mr. Lee, "No, from skipping."

As I watched the dog chasing his tail, I thought, "Dogs are easily amused;" then I realized I was watching the dog chase his tail.

Between Pentecostal and Baptist worship styles, I prefer Baptist, hands down.

The Deeds Undone
It isn't the thing you do, friend, it's the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bitter heartache, at the setting of the sun:
The tender words unspoken, to letter you did not write,
The flowers you might have sent, are your haunting ghosts at night.
The stone you might have lifted, out of a dear friend's way,
The bit of heartsome counsel you were hurried too much to say:
The loving touch of a helping hand, the gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time or thought for, with troubles enough of your own.
These little acts of kindness, so easily out of mind,
These chances to be angels, which even mortals find.
They come in night and silence, each chill reproachful wraith,
When hope is faint and flagging, and a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short, friend, and sorrow is all to great,
To suffer our slow compassion, that tarries until too late.
So, it's not the things you do, it's the deeds you leave undone,
Which gives you a bitter heartache, at the setting of the sun.
