What’s your favorite kind of wine?

A mother wanted to ensure her kindergarten son was making it safely walking himself to school. He didn't want his mother to walk with him. She wanted to give him the feeling that he had some independence but know that he was safe.

So she had an idea of how to handle it. She asked a neighbor if she would please follow him to school in the mornings, staying at a distance, so he probably wouldn't notice her. She said that since she was up early with her toddler anyway, it would be a good way for them to get some exercise as well, so she agreed.

The next school day, the neighbor and her little girl set out following behind Timmy as he walked to school with another neighbor girl he knew. She did this for the whole week.

As the two kids walked and chatted, kicking stones and twigs, Timmy's little friend noticed the same lady was following them as she seemed to do every day all week. Finally she said to Timmy, 'Have you noticed that lady following us to school all week... Do you know her'

Timmy nonchalantly replied, 'Yeah, I know who she is.'

The little girl said, 'Well, who is she'

'That's Shirley Goodnest, 'Timmy replied, 'and her daughter Marcy.'

'Shirley Goodnest...! Who is she and why is she following us..'

'Well,' Timmy explained, 'every night with my Mum we pray the 23rd Psalm. And in the Psalm, it says, ' Shirley Goodnest and Marcy shall follow me all the days of my life', so I guess I'll just have to get used to it.'

Shirley Goodnest and Marcy be with you today and all ways.

What's the significance of the sun rising on Jacob's wrestling match in Genesis 32? The dawn of a new day could symbolize...

1) The start of a time for action as opposed to reflection.
2) Enlightenment and the end of inner darkness
3) Jacob's rising power and authority.
4) The inauguration of Israel as an ethnically distinct people, separate from the other descendants of Terah.

What do you think?

Feeling lonely...Praise HIM! Feeling happy...Praise HIM! Do you have needs and desires unfulfilled...Praise HIM! Are you longing for Home...Praise HIM!

In All Things...Praise HIM ???

It's what I'm listening to this morning...
