Palm Sunday Greetings everyone - the world would surely benefit from another parade were we all call out to Jesus to save us!
Today's video share is Palm Sunday as depicted in "The Jesus Film." This link will take you right to that point in the movie, which is 2 hours long in total and would be a great watch this Holy Week.
Here is the rest of today's mailing.

More Too Much Coffee
You know you've been drinking too much coffee when...
You can take a picture of yourself from ten feet away without using the timer.
You get a speeding ticket even when you're parked.
You just completed another sweater... and you don't know how to knit!
You answer the door before people knock.
You have to watch videos in fast-forward.
You ski uphill.
You spend every vacation visiting "Maxwell House."
Juan Valdez names his donkey after you.
You name your dog "Valdez."
You grind your coffee beans in your mouth.
You lick your coffeepot clean!

Zippo Liturgy
A man was passing a small courtyard and heard voices murmuring. He went in and saw an altar with a large zero in the middle and a banner that said 'NIL'.
White-robed people were kneeling before the altar chanting hymns to 'The Great Nullity' and 'The Blessed Emptiness'.
The man turned to a white-robed observer beside him and asked, "Is Nothing Sacred?"

Quote #2085
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away."
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
"Say to Daughter Zion, 'See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on the colt, the foal of a donkey.'"
Matthew, The Bible
10 Rules for a Happy Day
1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind... I will not respond in a like manner.
2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY "ENEMY":
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask GOD to bless that individual. I understand the "enemy" could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.
3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY:
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.
4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED:
I will practice the golden rule - "Do unto others as I would have them do unto me" - with everyone I encounter.
8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE WHO IS DISCOURAGED:
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.
9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY:
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank GOD for my body.
10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY:
I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to GOD's voice!!!
"But since we belong to the day, let us be self controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and hope of salvation as a helmet." - 1 Thessalonians 5:8

Featured Illustrations are items well suited for illustrating or inspiring a point in a sermon, speech, or devotional. Funny, moving, or perhaps even graphic, the point of them is the point you make with them.

I’d Give Her a Piece of My Mind If I Had Any To Spare
I do not know if grouchy comes with old age or if in old age you are too weak to subdue it. I guess it does not really matter because I am having a little bit of trouble along this line. My grouchy seems to be getting out of control.
I remember the good old days, those carefree days, days when I did not let anything bother me. Oh, how I wish they would return.
