Lord 3 things we pray: To love Thee more dearly, to see Thee more clearly, to follow Thee more nearly, day, by day, by day. Amen.

Well it would be to heed Matthew 7:12.

"So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

My simple question ... could/would you pray this prayer?
(cf. 6:14-15)



The words of Garth Brooks come to mind:
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers.
Remember when you're talkin' to the man upstairs,
that just because He doesn't answer doesn't mean He don't care.
Some of God's greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

I wanna marry you because you're the first person I wanna look at when I wake up in the morning, and the only one I wanna kiss goodnight.

In a movie I saw recently, I found the following dialogue about relationships interesting:

• April: “Forget about the 'real' deal. You don’t find it, it finds you …you know, when you are ready for marriage, a mortgage … the person that you are with THEN is the one.”

• Will: “So, it’s not WHO; it’s WHEN?”

A question I have often been asked regarding when/whom to marry is, "How do you know?"

How do you know (s)he is the right one?
How do you know you're ready?

Really, what is often wondered is, "How do I know someone better won't come along?"

What advice do you give in these areas? If married, how did you know?

P.S. A Happy Anniversary to my mom & dad!

Lady, I got buddies who died face-down in the muck so that you and I could enjoy this family restaurant!

A blow was dealt to the terrorists recently and I have to share it with you.

Subway, as you probably know from the commercials, has $5 footlong sandwiches. But ... what you may not know is that Subway has switched from Pepsi to Coke product.

I have been avoiding Subway for years because I can't hang with the Pepsi product. Now, with free reloads on my Coke, Subway has returned to my radar screen.

Now, if we could just get Taco Bell to see the light and Arby's to switch back, the circle will be complete.
