Young Man Getting His Preach ON

Helping your neighbor is illegal in Michigan

#tcot #jesus #loveyourneigbhor

A woman in Middleville, Michigan watches her neighbors children every school day for 15 to 40 minutes until the school bus arrives.

She does this as a favor, taking no money, so that her neighbors are able to arrive to their place of employment of time.

The state of Michigan has deemed this to be an illegal activity.

USA Today

The Department of Human Services, acting on a complaint that Snyder was operating an illegal child care home, demanded she either get a license, stop watching the kids or face the consequences, WZZM says. Read the rest, watch the video report at Holy Hell Blog

Funny video of the day.

Everyone Fails, not everyone quits

One day a young lady was driving along with her father.
They came upon a storm, and the young lady asked her father, What
should I do?"

He said "keep driving". Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm
was getting worse.

"What should I do." The young lady asked? "Keep driving," her father
replied.

On up a few feet, she noticed that eighteen wheelers were also pulling
over. She told her dad, "I must pull over, I can barely see ahead.
It is terrible, and everyone is pulling over!"

Her father told her, "Don't give up, just keep driving!"

Now the storm was terrible, but she never stopped driving, and soon she
could see a little more clearly. After a couple of miles she was again
on dry land, and the sun came out.

Her father said, "Now you can pull over and get out."

She said "But why now?"

He said "When you get out, look back at all the people that gave up and
are still in the storm, because you never gave up your storm is now
over.

This is a testimony for anyone who is going through "hard times".

Just because everyone else, even the strongest, gives up. You don't
have to...if you keep going, soon your storm will be over and the sun
will shine upon your face again.

This story touched me! I hope it touched you!

Feel free to pass it on to someone you know, who is going through tough
times. Tell them never give up, because GOD will never give up on them!

"I can do all things through Christ, who strengtheneth me!"

Quote of the Day - from the greatest march ever written

I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel,
Since God is marching on."
Glory, glory, hallelujah
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Since God is marching on.

Church says it has the Ark of the Covenant

#religion

(IsraelNN.com) An Ethiopian church leader says Friday, June 26, marks the right time to unveil the Biblical Ark of the Covenant, which he says has been hidden in his church for centuries.

Abuna Pauolos, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, was in Rome this week to meet with Pope Benedict XVI. While there, he told reporters that the time had come to reveal before the world the Holy Ark. He said that the holy container has been in the custody of his church for hundreds of years. READ THE REST

I have searched but have not found much about an updated story on this, if you have please do tell. Ethiopian news HERE claims to be on top of the story.

Stuart Munro-Hay, author of “Quest for the Ark of the Covenant: The True History of the Tablets of Moses,” concluded that the object in question is definitely not the original Holy Ark.

Church Sign Generator a lot of fun

Someone sent me an email with hilarious church signs attached. A Presbyterian and Catholic church were supposedly arguing about Animals in Heaven on their signs. Googled it and found it was a hoax but in the process of reading about it i learned about a website that allows you to make funny church signs.

Islam will be the dominant world religion by 2050

Unless Believer's have more children and get off their butts and talk about the good news to the world.

I have studied Islam, read much of the Koran and Hadith and I personally came to the opinion a long time ago that Islam is a belief in a false God and those in it have no hope of eternal life. Don't take my word for it, study the two and decide for yourself, or ask a Muslim, they will tell you they have no idea whether the scales will weigh in their favor when they die. Ask a believer in Christ and they will talk about the grace (unmeritied favor) of a loving God poured out for them and all people.

The gospel message is good news for all people especially Muslims. The main differences in the two religions are that the Judeo Christian God YHWH is personal and loving, He cares for all people and reaches out to them in tangable ways. The Muslim god allah is not personal at all, he is a twisted version of what is true, he is angry, judgemental and violent towards those who do not follow Islam.

Their religion came a long 600 6o 700 years after Christ and contradicts nearly everything Jesus taught. Read that last statement again. The founder of Islam, Mohammed was also a violent man bent on conquest, oppression and slavery of those who refused to take his new religion.

Nine-year-old whiz kid writes iPhone app

Wow, while most kids are playing games outside or playing video games inside Nine-year-old Lim Ding Wen writes iPhone apps!

Lim, who is in fourth grade, writes applications for Apple's popular iPhone. His latest, a painting program called Doodle Kids, has been downloaded over 4,000 times from Apple's iTunes store in two weeks, the New Paper reported on Thursday.

The program lets iPhone users draw with their fingers by touching the iPhone's touch screen and then clear the screen by shaking the phone.

"I wrote the program for my younger sisters, who like to draw," Lim said. His sisters are aged 3 and 5.

Lim, who is fluent in six programming languages, started using the computer at the age of 2. He has since completed about 20 programming projects. READ THE REST

Football Star Maurice Clarret blogs from prison

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett writes that he's blogging from prison so others will learn from his wrong decisions.

The tailback who led the Buckeyes to the 2002 national championship is in the Toledo Correctional Institution on his 2006 conviction for aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon.

"There's no need to talk to a reporter these days. I am my own newspaper. I am my own editor. I am my own censor. I am able to put things into the proper context," he writes in an entry dated Feb. 28. "I am able to control the content and I am educated enough to accurately express myself. I am able to distinguish to people in a unique fashion that football is just something that I do. Football is not Maurice Clarett."

Clarett doesn't have computer access in prison. His mother tells The Columbus Dispatch he phones the blog entries to relatives, who post them.

In a passage replying to comments made on his blog, Clarett says his time in prison has taught him valuable lessons. READ THE REST
