If there ever was any doubt. . .

There are many people who put great store in the horoscopes they read in the newspaper. They look high and low for someone to tell their future or give their fortune. Of course such belief is misplaced biblically. There is only one who knows the future and our purpose is to trust him alone.

As anecdotal evidence that such beliefs are foolish, I submit this for your laugh of the day. For those who don't know me, I am an overweight man of 51 years who looks at least that old in every way. Yet in two separate visits to two different Chinese restaurants in the last few months, I received the exact same fortune in my cookie. Beyond a shadow of a doubt I believe it proves that all such fortunes are bunk. My Fortune?

"You are especially attractive this month."

I rest my case.

The Lord's Prayer

"This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, "Our Father." There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, "I will arise, and go unto my Father." This childlike spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father "in heaven" and ascends to devout adoration, "Hallowed by thy name." The child lisping, "Abba, Father," grows into the cherub crying, "Holy, Holy, Holy." ----Charles Spurgeon

My Sheep

I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I myself will make them lie down, declares the Lord GOD. (Eze 34:14-15 ESV) This has been our western view from our cottage this week in Scotland. The peak is Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the U.K.
