                    I once heard a humorous story about the Pope who was on a visit to America for a period of time.  On his last day of the visit, he was delayed due to meetings and was unable to break away to catch a flight.
Since he couldn’t depend on his Pope Mobile, he phoned for a limousine.  When the limousine

                    In the  villages of Northern India a missionary was preaching in a bazaar. As he closed, a Muslim gentleman came up and said, "You must admit we have one thing you have not, and it is better than anything you have."
The missionary smiled and said, "I should be pleased to hear what it is."

                    POSSUMS AND THE GRAVE
I have heard that possums are smart animals.  You wouldn’t think so because you hardly ever see one except when it’s dead on the road.  There’s a joke that goes, “why did the chicken cross the road?  To prove to the possum that it could be done!”  
But possums, it turns out,

                    A SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP
Even those people who espouse a belief in God still often resist and resent the notion of specifically commanded behaviors.  People often want the benefits of having a God for personal requests or crisis interventions, and may use being a “believer” as a way to increase

                    This week, I read a beautiful legend about a king who decided to set aside a special day to honor his greatest subject.  When the big day arrived, there was a large gathering in the palace courtyard.  Four finalists were brought forward, and from these four, the king would select the winner.

Professor Thomas Arnold, for 14 years a headmaster of Rugby, author of the famous, History of Rome, and appointed to the chair of modern history at Oxford, was well acquainted with the value of evidence in determining historical facts. This great scholar said:

                    A man went on vacation to the Holy Land with his wife and her mother. While in Israel, the mother-in-law died from a heart attack. The couple went to a local undertaker, who explained that they could either ship the body home which would cost more than $1500, or they could bury her right there in
