Single and Waiting
By Brenda Jackson
It’s Friday night and I’m home alone again, sighed Lexi I know the girls will call or I could call them,” as she began pacing across the room. But another Friday night date with the girls, Lord how long? I love you God and trust you but my faith seems to be growing weary. Haven’t I done what you asked me; to give you my whole heart and to need only you, she cried out? I’ve traveled, kept myself busy, dealt with past demons — all in order to become a whole woman of God. I promised I’d be patient.
The Power of Our Thoughts

While living in Ft.Worth I bought a new black Ford Focus. Then I moved to West Texas where it rains mud, the sun shines with scorching heat, and the wind blows constantly. I found that keeping a black car clean here, is next to impossible. The other day I decided to take it to a car wash, instead of washing it myself. The place where I took it was jammed packed. It was a long wait. My frustration grew as I stared at my wet car sitting in the blistering sun. Other cars that came after me had already come and gone. I begin to think some very unhealthy thoughts. When they finally finished and signaled me to pick it up. I noticed that they did a terrible job. My thoughts were screaming. “You bozos, I could have done a better job myself!” I was boiling mad. When I pointed out all the dried water spots, they took my car and waxed over the dry water stains. Thoughts crossed my mind that are not lawful to speak aloud. I asked them to call the manager.

If you're not consistent with exercise, and you find that it's wearing you down instead of building you up, you may be interested in the work scientists are doing in the area of "circadian rhythms," the internal clocks God put in place within our physical bodies.
Our Vanishing Heritage
By Ed Crumley
A Youtube video of Jay Leno interviewing people on the street came attached to an email sent to me by a friend. Jay asked them simple questions that anyone with a 4th or 5th grade education should know. Questions like: “Name two of the Founding Fathers. In what country would you find the Panama Canal?”, and “Who was the first man on the moon?” The answers were astonishing: “Founding fathers of what?”; “I have no clue,” and “Louis Armstrong?” The audience got good laughs out of all of the interviews, but a more thoughtful look at those answers should bring sadness or even fear to the hearts of viewers.
When God Says No
By Roberta Ley
No one likes to be told no. No one likes rejection. When it comes from someone important, it is even harder to accept. When it comes from God, it is the hardest of all things to understand. After all, He says in Luke 9:11 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find. Knock and it will be opened to you.” So why do you get “no” answers when you pray earnestly for “yes?”
