Oh look, Chicken Thursday and Happy New Year!

A new year has dawned at Cybersalt World Headquarters. Last year was a year of finding freedom over things in the past and good, inner personal growth. I am excited to see what God builds upon the gracious work he did in 2024. I pray that 2025 is one of growth and new beginnings/restarts for you too!

Today's video share features a sport that could help you and your family and friends run into the new year together!

I was telling a friend about my enrollment in a weight-loss program and how excited I was about the meetings.

"Sounds great," she said. "I'm almost tempted to join too."

"Well, next time I go," I replied, "I'll take you along."

"Okay," my friend responded, and then she asked, "Do they serve refreshments?"

At my funeral, take the bouquet off my coffin and throw it into the crowd to see who is next.

I love jokes about eyes. The cornea the better.

When Parents Get Old  ...

Let them grow old with the same love that they let you grow ...

Let them speak and tell repeated stories with the same patience and interest that they heard yours as a child ...

Let them overcome, like so many times when they let you win ...

Let them enjoy their friends just as they let you …

Let them enjoy the talks with their grandchildren, because they see you in them ...

Let them enjoy living among the objects that have accompanied them for a long time, the memories bring joy ...

Let them be wrong, like so many times you have been wrong and they didn’t embarrass you by correcting you ...

LET THEM LIVE and try to make them happy the last stretch of the path they have left to go;

Give them your hand, just like they gave you their hand when you started your path!

The first mate on a ship decided to celebrate with a bit of stowed-away rum. He got so drunk that he was still a little drunk the next morning. Later in the day, when the first mate had sobered up, he looked in the ship's log. He read the captain's entry for the day: "The first mate was drunk today."

"Captain, please don't leave that in the log," the mate said. "This could add months or years to my becoming a captain myself."

"Well, is it true?" asked the captain, knowing full well it was.

"Yes, it's true," admitted the mate.

"If it's true, it has to stay in the log. That's the rule. If it's true, it goes in the log. End of discussion!" said the captain sternly.

Weeks later, it was the first mate's turn to make the log entry.

The first mate wrote: "The ship seems to be in good shape. The captain was sober today."

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 . . . . 

What is it that makes people stay up until the wee hours of the morning one night out of the year? My primary objective in life is not to see how late I can stay up, but getting up in the morning.

If I can get up each morning, it is a major accomplishment that I should celebrate with eggs, bacon, and a hot cup of coffee—which is about all the celebrating I can handle.

I'm not anxious to see someone drop the ball on New Year's Eve. I do enough of that myself throughout the year and believe me, nobody cheers.
