The Voice Of God By Wallace Kennedy, Jr
A child at a very young age identifies with the voice of the parents, after hearing them speak for a certain length of time they become familiar with their parents voice. The child is able to discern the voice of the parents from other people. Similarly God has endowed us with the capacity to recognize His voice. Over a period of time we can learn to distinguish God speaking to us through His Word and the response we get when we pray. The Holy Spirit, teaches, guides, helps, bring things learned to remembrance, and empowers us. Some key factors to help identify God’s voice. · Is what we hearing consistent with the Word (Scriptures) of God? By examining the Scriptures we will know the Words, character and nature of God. Our enemy and other people will try and make us feel guilty/condemnation, Romans 8:1 says there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. God is just and faithful to forgive, so it is not His voice condemning us.

COMFORTERS AND QUILTS
Dear Sir, My friend, Buba Peterson, over at Alexandria, LA, received a check for $1,000 from the government for not raising hogs. So, I want to go into the "not raising hogs" business next year. What I want to know is, in your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to raise hogs on, and what is the best breed of hogs not to raise? I want to be sure that I approach this endeavor in keeping with all governmental policies. I would prefer not to raise razorbacks, but if that is not a good breed not to raise, then I will just as gladly not raise Yorkshires or Durocs. As I see it, the hardest part of this program will be in keeping an accurate inventory of how many hogs I haven't raised. My friend, Peterson, is very joyful about the future of the business. He has been raising hogs for twenty years or so, and the best he ever made on them was $422 in 1968, until this year when he got your check for $1000 for not raising hogs. If I get $1000 for not raising 50 hogs, will I get $2000 for not raising 100 hogs? I plan to operate on a small scale at first, holding myself down to about 4000 hogs not raised, which will mean about $80,000 the first year. Then I can afford an airplane. Now another thing, these hogs I will not raise will not eat 100,000 bushels of corn. I understand that you also pay farmers for not raising corn and wheat. Will I qualify for payments for not raising wheat and corn not to feed the 4000 hogs I am not going to raise? Also, I am considering the "not milking cows" business, so send me any information you have on that too. In view of these circumstances, you understand that I will be totally unemployed and plan to file for unemployment and food stamps. Be assured you will have my vote in the coming election. Patriotically Yours, Mr. Smith P.S. Would you please notify me when you plan to distribute more free cheese.

spirit. But test the spirits to see if they are from God for there are many false preachers in the world. ·Often times there will be things
that God says that our human reasoning (or logics) will not agree with, such as: Turn the other cheek, love your enemy, combat evil with good, the last shall be first and do unto others as you would want them to do unto you. There are many other statements that the human mind (flesh) will disagree with. Remember, God’s thoughts and ways are above ours, check the Scriptures. ·Sometimes the Word of God will challenge our faith. God wants to build our faith to deepen the relationship we have with Him. You may be asked to do something that may appear to us as unreasonable or not humanly possible, but, when we step out on faith God will help us accomplish the task he has given…not by our strength but through Christ Jesus we can do it. ·It will require courage to obey God. When God speaks, a decision requiring sacrifice or change of direction is often necessary. God knows our potential, sometimes we will have to push, and press and discover our potential is greater than we thought. The Holy Spirit will help us to “UNLOCK” hidden potential that is in us, gifts and talents that we did know we had. What is God saying to you today? Remember, God will never ask you do anything that he will not empower you to do! Read Matthew 16:21-25

Why Did God Make Lightning Bugs What is the deal with Lightning bugs? I mean, here is this rather ordinary looking flying insect, but wait ... it has a glow-in-the-dark rear end! What was God thinking …These Lightning Bugs? I'm sure science has all kinds of explanations about how this fluorescent fanny is useful for mating and other stuff, but why did God choose to make the lightning bug glow? I wonder if when God was creating all the animals and everything around us, he came up with the idea of the Lightning bug and said, "The kids are gonna love this Little Black Lightning Bug.” We know that God loves us enough to create all the things we need to survive, but does God love us so much He created some things just to make us smile? Lightning Bugs in a Jar Just seeing Lightning bugs takes me back to those warm summer nights of my youth. I'd be running around the back yard with my empty Mason jar, racing toward the flashing lights all around me. I can still feel the joy and hear the laughter echoing through my memories. Lightning bugs were as much a part of summer as fireworks, fresh tomatoes, and big ice-cold slabs of juicy watermelon. God created so much diversity in this world, much more than is needed for mere survival. He made all of this for us, and He wants us to enjoy it. We can get so busy surrounding ourselves with manmade goods that we don't notice the living tapestry God has laid out all around us. I guess Lightning bugs do have a purpose after all. They are a reminder of a creative God who loves us so much, He'd even paint the rear end of a bug ... Just to see us smile....

The Silent Treatment A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."

Does Your Dog Have Diabetes? Diabetes mellitus (also referred to as diabetes) describes a lack of response or quantity of insulin in the body. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, an organ that lies along the small intestine as it exits from the stomach. Insulin allows the body to absorb fats and sugars from the diet. Without insulin, the body cannot process these nutrients and becomes starved. Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus •Excessive thirst •Excessive urinations, urinary accidents and urinary tract infections •Voracious appetite with weight loss The good news about diabetes is that it is treatable with insulin injections, exercise and diet. For the majority of diabetic patients, insulin therapy is a lifelong treatment. We will teach you to give the injections. To begin treatment for diabetes, we recommend: •Insulin: Injections need to be given at the same time each day. Do not change your pet’s insulin dose without consulting your veterinarian. Be sure that your pet eats a While the allergy petsWhen an insulin dose normal meal prior toseason giving for insulin. may be similar to the allergy is changed, your pet’s body takes 5-7 days to adjust. season for with people, the symptoms •Diet: Cats diabetes respond best to a low your pet experiences are quite carbohydrate, higher protein diet.

I have my own system for labeling homemade freezer meals. Forget calling them "Veal Parmigiana" or "Turkey Loaf" or "Beef Pot Pie." If you look in my freezer you'll see "Whatever," "Anything," "I Don't Know," and, my favorite, "Food." That way when I ask my husband what he wants for dinner, I'm certain to have what he wants." Thomas Edison In the early 20th Century, Thomas Edison was spreading the word about electricity. Once, while vacationing out West, he stopped at the Sioux reservation. Edison was shocked to learn that there was no indoor plumbing, and that he would have to use an outhouse. In fact, he was told, the Sioux had to use the outhouse regardless of the weather. To help the Sioux, Edison installed lights in the outhouse. With this kind act, he became the first person to wire a head for a reservation!

Nurses Go To Heaven Three nurses went to heaven, and were waiting turn to plead their case to St. Peter to enter the pearly gates. The first nurse said, "I worked in an emergency room. We tried our best to help patients, but occasionally we did lose one. I think I deserve to go to heaven." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven. The second nurse says, "I worked in an operating room. It's a very high stress environment and we do our best. Sometimes the patients are too sick and we lose them, but overall we try very hard." St. Peter looks at her file and admits her to heaven. The third nurse says, "I was a case manager for an HMO." St. Peter looks at her file. He pulls out a calculator and starts punching away at it furiously, constantly going back to the nurse's file. After a few minutes St. Peter looks up, smiles, and said, "Congratulations! You've been admitted to heaven ... for five days!"

The Beach
Our first day at a resort my wife and I decided to hit the beach. When I went back to the room to get something to drink one of the maids was making our bed. I grabbed my cooler and was on my way out when I paused and asked, “Can we drink beer on the beach?” “Sure” she said “but I’ll have to finish the rest of the rooms first.” Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent. Two peanuts walk into a bar, and one was a salted. What do you call a fish with no eyes? A fsh. A jump-start cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, "I'll serve you, but don't start anything. There’s a pizza place next door to my office that sells pizza by the slice. You should come in and watch the man tossing triangles in the air.

A lawyer, a Rabbi and a Hindu. A lawyer and two friends--a Rabbi, and a Hindu holy man--had car trouble in the countryside and asked to spend the night with a farmer. The farmer said, "There might be a problem. You see, I only have room for two to sleep in the house. So one of you must sleep in the barn." "No problem," chimed the Rabbi. "My people wandered in the desert for forty years. I am humble enough to sleep in the barn for one evening." With that he departed to the barn, and the others bedded down for the night. Moments later a knock was heard at the door; the farmer opened the door. There stood the Rabbi from the barn. "What's wrong?" asked the farmer. He replied, "I am grateful to you, but I just can't sleep in the barn. There is a pig in the barn, and my faith believes that is an unclean animal." His Hindu friend agrees to swap places with him. But a few minutes later the same scene reoccurs. There is a knock on the door. "What's wrong?" the farmer asks. The Hindu holy man replies, "I, too, am grateful for your helping us out, but there is a cow in the barn. In my country cows are considered sacred and I can't sleep on holy ground!" That left only the lawyer to make the change. He grumbled and complained, but went out to the barn. Moments later there was another knock on the farmer's door. Frustrated and tired, the farmer opens the door, and there stood the pig and the cow.

● Insurance policies ● Birth, marriage and death certificates ● Adoption papers and divorce decrees ● Deeds, titles, mortgage papers and lease contracts ● Military records and citizenship papers ● Stock and bond certificates ● A videotape or DVD inventory of your home and all its contents
What NOT to Keep in a Safe-Deposit Box ● Originals of wills, trusts and power of attorney documents ● Medical care directives ● Funeral or burial instructions So what should you do with important items that shouldn't be kept in a safe-deposit box? Store them in a safe place at home, such as a fireproof/waterproof safe, where they are more easily accessible in a hurry. You might want to consider giving the originals of these documents to your estate planning attorney and making a copy to keep at home or to give to a close relative or friend. Even more important, make certain the person you've appointed in your power of attorney and medical care directives has an original copy of these documents. PS. If you would like to include Laughs&Lifts in your will that would be OK as well.

In a gunfight, the most important rule is..............HAVE A GUN!!
Food For Thought By Junius P. Long
SUDOKU 1 SOLUTION
If you can get arrested for hunting or fishing without a license, but not for being in the country illegally ...you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you have to get your parents’ permission to go on a field trip or take an aspirin in school, but not to get an abortion ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If the only school curriculum allowed to explain how we got here is evolution, but the government stops a $15 million construction project to keep a rare spider from evolving to extinction ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If you have to show identification to board an airplane, cash a check, buy liquor or check out a library book, but not to vote who runs the government ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
SUDOKU 2 SOLUTION
If the government wants to ban stable, law-abiding citizens from owning gun magazines with more than ten rounds, but gives 20 F-16 fighter jets to the crazy new leaders in Egypt ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If, in the largest city, you can buy two 16-ounce sodas, but not a 24-ounce soda because 24-ounces of a sugary drink might make you fat ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If an 80-year-old woman can be stripped searched by the TSA but a woman in a hijab is only subject to having her neck and head searched ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.
CROSSWORD SOLUTION
If your government believes that the best way to eradicate trillions of dollars of debt is to spend trillions more ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If a seven year old boy can be thrown out of school for saying his teacher’s "cute," but hosting a sexual exploration or diversity class in grade school is perfectly acceptable ... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots. If children are forcibly removed from parents who discipline them with spankings while children of addicts are left in filth and drug infested “homes”... you might live in a country founded by geniuses but run by idiots.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" Thomas Jefferson Recurring Bill Unable to attend the funeral after his Uncle Charlie died, a man who lived far away called his brother and told him, "Do something nice for Uncle Charlie and send me the bill." Later, he got a bill for $200.00, which he paid. The next month, he got another bill for $200.00, which he also paid, figuring it was some incidental expense. But, when the bills for $200.00 kept arriving every month, he finally called his brother again to find out what was going on. "Well," said the other brother, "You said to do something nice for Uncle Charlie. So I rented him a tuxedo."

Undesirable Food As a trail guide in a national park, I ate with the rest of the seasonal staff in a rustic dining hall, where the food left something to be desired. When we were finished with our meals, we scraped the remains into a garbage pail and stacked our plates for the dishwasher. One worker, apparently not too happy after his first week on the job, was ahead of me in line. As he slopped an uneaten plate of food into the garbage, I heard him mutter, "Now STAY there this time."

Sedation Dentistry Sedation Dentistry is a revolutionary way to accomplish your dental treatments without fear or anxiety. You dream…we work. Sedation Dentistry is often used during procedures that require an extensive amount of time in the treatment chair, and sedation is ideal for patients who exhibit dental phobia. Sedation Dentistry offers anxiety-free dental procedures as the patient is in a deeply relaxed state. though fully responsive. It means something even more important, a comfortable experience, so that little is felt or remembered from the dentistry procedure. When you awake, you are well rested, and your smile is healthier and more beautiful.

Our strength is shown in the things we stand for, our weakness is shown in the things we fall for,
This month I want to talk about the time we spend with the people that means the most to us. I work at the nuclear plant in Columbia Alabama. We lost a dear friend of ours to a freak accident last month. His name was Ronnie Walsh. It was real devastating blow to us all that worked with Ronnie. He was loved by all of us. I didn’t know Ronnie as well as others did at work but I can tell you it was a true blessing to know this man. He was a Godly man and a great husband, father and friend. It was a pleasure to know and call Ronnie Walsh my friend. He didn’t fish or hunt much but he loved the lord and enjoyed God’s creation. Ronnie knew how important it was to make moments with his loved ones last. He left a legacy of goodness, kindness, and love that will last for generations to come. I envied his character and the kind of man Ronnie was. I know he is in a better place now but he will be missed by many on this earth. I thought a lot about the time I spend with family and friends after Ronnie’s death. We all take for granted the time we have on this earth. Some of the best times I have spent with my family have been in God’s great outdoors. Whether it is hunting, fishing, camping, or just hiking and getting outside, all of it is time that I will treasure for the rest of my life. The outdoors gets us away from life’s rat race and it brings family and friends together to a common ground. That is why I love the outdoors so much. I have made lasting memories with family and friends around a campfire, in a boat, or in a deer stand. I try to live by a motto and that is God, family, friends and the outdoors. That is what life is all about. Don’t take for granted the time you have on this earth. Make moments that you have with family and friends last. Make that time count. I encourage you to do it in God’s great outdoors. It is a wonderful way to get away from all the clutter in life and spend quality time with each other. I’m T.J. Ward with Trails To God’s Great Outdoors. Get outside and make moments last in God’s creation.
