SMILE
“A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales. The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to swallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal its throat was very small. The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. Irritated the teacher reiterated that a whale could not swallow a human; it was physically impossible. Then the little girl said, “When I get to heaven I will ask Jonah.” The teacher asked, “What if Jonah went to hell?” The little girl replied, “Then you ask him.”

“Enduring Power of Attorney”
AT THE BEACH
“Life can be fragile – as an attorney you are trusted to protect someone’s future, if they can’t decide for themselves,” I am reading on the leaflet called “Enduring Power of Attorney” I picked up today at our local library.
When I read that the following portion from the Bible came to my mind:
“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth, before the days of trouble come and the years approach when you will say ‘I find no pleasure in them’ – before the sun and the light and the moon and the stars grow dark, …”
The portion of Scriptures is from the book called Ecclesiastes. Please read the whole of chapter twelve of the book.
If we live long enough I think there comes the time for all of us when we cannot decide for ourselves!

Romans
Romans chapter one
I am still working my way through the book ROMANS by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and I am being blessed. It is an exposition of chapter 1. The Gospel of God.
The book has almost 400 pages and I am on page 188.
