Boat Compromise"
My friend wanted a boat more than anything. His wife kept refusing, but he bought one anyway. "I’ll tell you what," he told her, "In the spirit of compromise, why don’t you name the boat?"

You might wonder why I believe in heaven in an age like this. One of the Russian cosmonauts came back and said, "Some people say God lives out there. I looked around, and I didn’t see any God out there." Billy Graham’s wife, Ruth, says he looked in the wrong place. If he’d stepped

More Than Conquers!
Alexander the Great was one of the most successful military commanders in history. He subdued most of his known world but he was conquered by his own lusts; he died in a drunken stupor.
The Christian conquers his own lusts in order to subdue the world within him.
We’ve not

There’s an interesting insight into this from archaeology. It’s found in some graffiti from the wall of a house in Rome, written by someone making fun of a Christian he knew. The idea that someone would follow a hero who was crucified was foolishness to him. So, he drew a figure of Jesus, with a

BAD TASTE
Treating each other in graceless ways is like putting salt in another person's drink. You're sitting there, your friend goes to the bathroom, and while he's gone you pour salt into his soda. And when he takes a sip he gets a terrible taste in his mouth.

THAT'S NOT FAIR

The he-toad tree toad tried in vain
To gain
