“By the tender mercy of our God, the dawn from on high will break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness … to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Luke 1:78-79
A frail elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of “moving” Church services. She truly felt the presence of the Holy Spirit around her as she entered the front door of her home. Upon entering the house, she was immediately startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, “Stop mister! Acts 2:38!” (Freeze, repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.) The burglar stopped in his tracks and stood motionless with his back to her as she calmly called the police and told them she had a burglar willing to “turn himself in” in her house.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, “Why did you just stand there?
“All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you.”
“Scripture!” replied the burglar.
“I swear I heard her say she had an Ax and Two 38’s!”
Remember knowing scripture can save your life in more ways than one.

A recently discovered ‘new chapter’ from the Book of Genesis:
Adam and Eve said: ” Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult to remember how much you love us.”
And God said: “No problem. I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and will be a reflection of my love for you. This way you will love me, even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are, and will love you as I do, despite yourselves.”
And God named the new animal Dog.
