Sunday greetings everyone - and welcome to August!
We are in the midst of enjoying a 2 week long visit by our 12 year old grandson who flew across the country on his own to get here. The world just keeps getting fuller and fuller of things that remind me I am getting older!
The irony of today's video share not lost on me. This is something I am working on in my life, so if it is something that speaks to you, you are not alone - but enough about me!

Quote #2383
When someone is broken,
don't try to fix them.
(You can't.)
When someone is hurting,
don't attempt to take away their pain.
(You can't.)
Instead, love them by walking beside them in the hurt.
(You can.)
Because sometimes what people need is simply to know
they aren't alone.

12 Reasons I Stopped Attending Sports Events
Take some of the most common excuses for not going to church and use them to stop attending sporting events and here’s what you get:
~ Every time I went, they asked me for money.
~ The people I had to sit by didn't seem very friendly.
~ The seats were too hard and not comfortable at all.
~ The coach never came to call on me.
~ The referee made a decision with which I could not agree.
~ I was sitting with some hypocrites -- they came only to see what others were wearing.
~ Some games went into overtime, and I was late getting home.
~ The band played some numbers that I had never heard before.
~ The games are scheduled when I want to do other things.
~ My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.
~ Since I read a book on sports, I feel that I know more than the coaches anyhow.
~ I don't want to take my children, because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best.
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.

How Much Sleep is Too Much?
I have noticed recently that sleeping has become a very important part of my life. This just snuck up on me overnight.
When I was young and living at home, I tried to come up with excuses and reasons for not going to bed at night. My parents had an early bedtime schedule that they enforced rather strictly. Try as I might, I was never successful in beating that schedule.
