                    KING OF THE JUNGLE
I'm reminded of the lion who woke up one morning and decided it was time to stroll through the jungle and check on his kingdom. He came first to a giraffe chewing on some leaves up in a tree. 
"Hey, long neck," he asked, "Who's the king of the jungle?" 
"Why you are on great

                    I SAW JESUS. ~~Author Unknown~~
I saw Jesus last week.
He was wearing blue jeans and an old shirt.
He was up at the church building;
He was alone and working hard.
For just a minute he looked a little like one of our members.
But it was Jesus,I could tell by his smile. 
I saw Jesus last Sunday.

   The second fabulous discovery was made in 1986.  There had been a drought in Israel and the Sea of Galilee was at low ebb.  Not far from Capernaum, buried in the mud of the lake, was found a wooden boat, which was cleared of mud, enclosed in foam and floated out.  To

                    MARY MOTHER OF JESUS 
  A capable journalist-author named Jim Bishop wrote a fairly reliable analysis of Jesus’ birth in his book, The Day Christ Was Born. His description of Mary, the young mother-to-be, bears repeating:

                    "TO JESUS ON HIS BIRTHDAY" 
The American poet Edna St. Vincent Millay once wrote a biting, ironic poem called "To Jesus on His Birthday." Surely none of us can deny guilt in some of the areas it includes in its brief scope:

Of this number, thirty-four were either brought to Jesus by friends, or He was taken to them. In only six cases

‘Twas the night Jesus came and all through the house, not a person was praying, not one in the house...
The Bible was left on the shelf without care… for no one thought Jesus would ever come there...
The children were dressing to crawl into bed, not once ever

                    Jesus Christ is the "Door" not the door knob.
Jesus Christ is the "Bread of Life" not the bread basket.
Jesus Christ is the "Light of the world" not the light switch.
Jesus Christ is the "Way" not the signpost.
Jesus Christ is the "Truth" not just the messenger.
Jesus Christ is the "Good Shepherd"

                    JESUS, MONEY & STUFF
I want us to note this: When people came to Jesus, Jesus never, never, gave them money. He never gave them stuff. And yet, what do we ask for? Stuff. How ridiculous. So then, isn’t it obvious? If Jesus never gave anyone money… or stuff, while he was walking the earth in His
