Today, there was a terrible accident on the interstate in Birmingham, involving a vehicle and a transport truck. At least one death has resulted. Traffic will be in a mess, until the bridges are built back that supported some of the traffic through what has been commonly called 'mal-function junction'. Life holds it joys. We woke up to a new day. Hopefully, we started out by thanking God that we awakened in a state where we could worship Him one more time. The weather may be bleak on the outside, but on the inside of your heart, you should be rejoicing! *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Psalms 118:24 This is the day which the LORD hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. <((< -- <((< -- <(< -- <((< -- <((< -- <((< SCRIPTURE MANTLE...

THE WHOLE WORLD STINKS One Sunday afternoon, a cranky grandfather was visiting his family. As he lay down to take a nap, his grandson decided to have a little fun by putting Limburger cheese on Grandfather's mustache. Soon, Grandpa awoke with a snort and charged out of the bedroom saying, "This room stinks." Through the house he went, finding every room smelling the same. Desperately he made his way outside only to find that "the whole world stinks!" e4u Newsletter Sharon Lambkin, Publisher> *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* A young child asked a woman how old she was. She answered, "39 and holding." The child thought for a moment, then said, "And how old would you be if you let go?" >Some people spend too much time hanging on to vain ways of feeling significant. Let go of the past and let God bless you in the present just as He has made you.

Contented with their lot, they never desired anything that was withheld from them. "I have asked," said a holy soul, "for something I thought needful; they have forgotten to answer me, or perhaps would not bestow it. Why need I be disquieted If it were really necessary, God would quickly provide means to obtain it." How few could enter into this feeling; and yet it is but the echo of Christ's own words, "Your Father in Heaven knoweth that ye have need of all these things." By Charlotte M.
