Tools For Sale

It was advertised that the devil was going to put his tools up for sale. 
On the date of the sale, the tools were placed for public inspection; each 
tool being marked with its sale price. They were a treacherous lot of

"What is the name of this tool?" asked one of the purchas...

Keep Your Fork

There was a woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. As she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes.

Live For Today

This is a great poem that reminds me to forget the things that are past and look toward the future and better things the Lord has for me. I hope you enjoy the poem and the message it offers to each one of us.

Have you ever wished, 
when a day went wrong
a wish that's quite in vain

with the prayers you should have said
and through the days your actions
with tolerance be led

Daily Encouragement For February 06:

I have received Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, I have been redeemed, You set me free and saved me from a punishable death when You gave Your life for me. I will be faithful, reliable, capable and dependable!

Jesus, You are my Captain, the H...

Daily Encouragement For February 05:

A man had some puppies that he needed to find homes for, he painted a sign advertising, “Puppies For Sale” went down to the end of the road, and began nailing it to a post on the edge of his fence.
As he was driving the last nail into the post, he felt a tug on his trousers. He looked down into the eyes of a little boy. "Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."

"Well," the man answered, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "T...
