Oh look, Chicken Thursday!

For the last couple of weeks I've been teasing about a pair of companies I was buying. The transaction is now complete and I've started the freshening-up work the websites need. They are energizethemes.com and virtuemarttemplates.net, and between them they sell close to 100 templates. The idea is simple: when you're building a website and you don't want to get bogged down in the design side of things, you grab one of these and you can get on with the rest of your business. Energize Themes makes templates for Joomla — which happens to be the same software my own websites are built on — and VirtueMart Templates is the ecommerce side, since VirtueMart is the online-store add-on that runs inside Joomla. Both domains have now transferred into my name, and I have begun updating every one of those almost-100 templates to the latest versions of the software they run on. I'm very excited about this opportunity and having a lot of fun.

Today's video share is a funny little look at the quirkiness of human beings — but stick with it, because it ends with a really sweet message.

George had died. His lawyer is standing before the family and reads out his Last Will and Testament.

"To my dear wife Mary, I leave the house, 50 acres of land, and 1 million dollars.

To my son Barry, I leave my Big Lexus and the Jaguar.

To my daughter Suzy, I leave my yacht and $250,000.

To my brother-in-law Jeff, who always insisted that health is better than wealth, I leave my sun lamp."

I started a company where you can borrow hunting dogs for the afternoon; it's called, "We Lease the Hounds!"

I'm in search of someone to assist with miking cows on my dairy farm. Must work well with udders.

Ooh...Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings or of God?Or am I trying to please people?Please people...

If I were still trying to please people,I would not be a servant of Christ.

At a dinner party, the speaker who was the guest of honor was about to deliver his speech when his wife, who was sitting at the other end of the table, sent him a piece of paper with the word "KISS" scribbled on it.

A guest seated next to the speaker said, "Your wife has sent you a KISS before you begin your speech. She must love you very much."

The speaker replied, "You don't know my wife. The letters stand for "Keep It Short Stupid."

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.

The wonderful, deeply rich life testimony of Joni Eareckson Tada has been a blessing to my soul.

You may be familiar with her story. She was an athletic teenager who loved the outdoors. One hot July day in 1967, at the age of 17, she broke her neck while diving into shallow water and was left a quadriplegic. Today, she is an internationally known mouth artist, a talented vocalist, a radio host, and the author of over 48 books, as well as being an advocate for disabled persons worldwide. There was a time in my life when Joni’s devotional book, Secret Strength, was a source of great comfort to me.

When I heard that Joni had been diagnosed with breast cancer, I honestly asked, “Why, Lord? Hasn’t she been through enough? She already deals with her disability with grace and dignity as she lives daily with chronic pain along with all that comes with being a quadriplegic.”
