Sunday greetings everyone - 9d260!

Grandma Cybersalt and I are baseball fans - again! We lived in Toronto when the Blue Jays won back to back World Series Championships in 92 and 93. It's fun to cheer them on again 32 years later!

I hope none of you who are irradiated salt will be offended by today's video share because it is all about how "Irradiated Salt Is Weird!"

A rookie pitcher was struggling at the mound, so the catcher walked out to have a talk with him.

"I've figured out your problem," he told the young southpaw. "You always seem to lose control at the same point in every game."

"When is that?" asked the kid.

"Right after the National Anthem."

I'm writing a book on reverse psychology; please DO NOT buy it.

I'm currently reading a book about a couple of insects who fall in love in an Italian city.

It's a Rome ants novel.

"Did they lie to you about who they were? Or did you lie to yourself about who they were?"

A woman named Vicki once knew a young person at church named Betty.

Betty always seemed effervescent and happy, although Vicki knew she had faced struggles in her life. Her long-awaited marriage had quickly ended in divorce. She had struggled to get a grip on her single life. She hadn't chosen it, but she decided she would live it with utmost enjoyment and satisfaction. Betty was active in Sunday school, in the choir, as a leader of the junior high girls' group, and in the church renewal movement. Vicki enjoyed knowing Betty. Betty's whole face seemed to smile.

One day Vicki asked Betty, "How is it that you are always so happy, you have so much energy, and you never seem to get down?"

With her eyes smiling, Betty said, "I know the Secret!"

"What secret is that, what are you talking about?" Vicki asked.

Betty replied, "I'll tell you all about it, but you have to promise to share the Secret with others."

Vicki agreed, "Okay, now what is it?"

The Secret is this: "I have learned there is little I can do in my life that will make me truly happy. I must depend on God to make me happy and meet my needs. When a need arises in my life, I have to trust God to supply according to HIS riches. I have learned most of the time I don't need half of what I think I do. HE has never let me down. Since I learned that Secret I am happy."

Vicki's first thought was, "That's too simple!" But upon reflecting over her own life she recalled how she thought a bigger house would make her happy - but it didn't! She thought a better-paying job would make her happy - but it hadn't. When did she realize her greatest happiness? Sitting on the floor with her grandchildren, playing games, eating pizza or reading a story, a simple gift from God.

Betty knew the secret, Vicki learned the secret, and now you know it too! We can't depend on people to make us happy. Only GOD in His wisdom can do that. Trust HIM!

And now the Secret has been passed to you!

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 . . . . 

I just celebrated another birthday. I never imagined I would get this old, but here I am, old and still breathing.

Reflecting on my birthday celebration, I looked back on my life and realized I've been so busy that I've haven't had much chance to think. I know most people believe thinking is an essential part of life. I guess it is, but it has never been an essential part of my life.
