Sunday greetings, everyone!

There was not Digest last Chicken Thursday: I was just too tired to put it together. I feel a bit guilty about that because just as I was giving up for the day, our daughter-in-law, Rebecca, was finally in labour! I guess somebody had to work!

Grandma Cybersalt and I were happy and blessed to meet our new granddaughter this past Thursday. Abigail Joelle Davis was born on Wednesday night at 10:10pm on July 26, weighing in at 9 pounds, 1 ounce! Everyone is healthy and well.

Today's video is of a very impressive tree. Some are calling it "Canada's Most Impressive Tree!"

Enjoy the rest of today's mailing.

"Look at ME!" boasted the fit old man to a group of young people. "Every morning I do fifty push-ups, do fifty sit-ups, and walk two miles. I'm fit as a fiddle! And you want to know why? I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't stay up late, and I don't chase after women!"

He smiled at them, teeth white, eyes glittering, "And tomorrow, I'm going to celebrate my 95th birthday!"

"Oh, really?" drawled one of the young onlookers. "How?"

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 . . . . 

Every once in a while, I have a little thought giggling in my brain to the effect that if only I had it my way. I don’t have it often, but I try to take it seriously when I do.

My personal history is that it turns out to be a disaster whenever I have everything my way. And, boy, have I had disasters in my life.
