Sunday greetings, everyone!

I was driving home from a men's gathering last evening (after enjoying a barbeque and making bows and arrows with my son-in-law, Josh) when I started to hear a rattle from the left front corner of my pickup truck. I was pretty sure I had a rock rattling around in the hub cover until the rattling sound changed into the sound of a metal part skipping down the road of the neighbourhood we had just turned into.

It turned out that the actual hub cover had come loose because, like me, it had a few loose screws. Well, actually, at the point it fell off it had no more screws, but it was still a fun memory to make with Josh, and for the guy sitting in his driveway who pointed me to the lawn the part had ended up on! It's a 92 Ford F150 4x4, so I suppose it's to be expected from time to time!

To avoid straining your eyes when you're continuously working, follow the 20-20-20 rule; after 20 minutes of work, look at something 20 feet away, then spend 20 years in the forest.

I took a friend of mine who is visually impaired to church with me this morning. Several of the children in the congregation were fascinated with her Braille Bible.

One of the adults came over to see what the kids were so excited about, and Ellen told the woman, "Oh, well, I was telling them how bumpy the road to salvation is."

"Divine deliverance does not always mean an escape from trouble: it sometimes means finding God in trouble."

John Stott

A little boy sat through a Sunday School class and learned about the time Jesus went to a wedding and changed the water into wine.

"And what did you learn from that story?" asked his father afterward.

The boy thought for a moment and then answered, "If you're having a wedding, make sure Jesus is there."

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.

Rev. James Snyder, God's Penman, writes . . . . 

Occasionally I go to my computer and search for the wealthiest preachers in America. I am curious to know who came up with this idea, but I check it out occasionally to see who they are.

As often as I have checked this information, I have never found my name on that list. I so much wanted to see my name on that list. Everybody knows that the Internet never lies. So, I need to accept that I am not one of the wealthiest preachers in America. Poor me!

That may explain many things in my life that I did not quite understand before.
