There are truly good, sound principles here that will help you live a better Christian life.
AN OLD FARMER’S ADVICE
~ Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.
~ Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.
~ A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.
~ Words that soak into your ears are whispered…not yelled.
~ Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.
~ Forgive your enemies. It messes up their heads.
~ Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.
~ It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.
~ You cannot unsay a cruel word.
~ Every path has a few puddles.
~ When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.
~ The best sermons are lived, not preached.
~ Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.
~ Don’t judge folks by their relatives.
~ Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
~ Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.
~ Don’t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t botherin’ you none.
~ If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.
~ Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.
~ The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with watches you from the mirror every mornin’.
~ Always drink upstream from the herd.
~ Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.
~ Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.
~ If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around.

I have made several posts of photos taken by the Hubble Telescope, but this is a drawing of the whole universe that we have observed up until this point and its distance from earth. It is absolutely amazing to me what a BIG God we have. The world He created is so vast that we have not been able to see it all, even with high-powered telescopes.
Everything works perfectly and in order day after day. If He is capable of creating such astounding things, how can you ever doubt that He desires to meet your every need.
Give Him all the praise and glory and start this moment to give Him your problems.

A Little Inspiration
People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, It is between you and God;
It never was between you and them anyway.

What an awesome word picture!
If God takes care of the birds and flowers, how much more will He take care of you if you will just trust Him. Instead of looking at your problems, set your eyes on Him and don’t let the cares of the world drag you down.
Trust, try, and prove him to see what He will do in your life.

To a good surfer, this would be an awesome wave. He would feel in total control as he balanced and maneuvered his way through it, finally landing on the shore.
As I look at the picture, though, I am struck by how huge and powerful the wave is compared to the small person riding it. It would only take one mistake for him to be totally swallowed up.
I wonder if many of us feel that life is so huge, powerful, and overwhelming that we can’t see much light at the end of the tunnel.
If you have asked Jesus to come in your heart and you are a Christian, imagine that the huge wave is God and you are the surfer. He totally surrounds you on all sides, while He leads and maneuvers you through some treacherous waters until you reach the shore safely.
Give him control of your life and let Him lead you in the direction He would have you to go.
It might be a wild ride, but you won’t be bored!! You really can trust Him to give you His Very Best.

The choice is yours. God is just waiting to hear your answer!
Can you trust Him enough to give Him control over every area of your life?

This is such good advice. If every church member used it as a guideline in addition to the Bible, our churches would be much different and have much more power for winning the lost and making disciples out of new Christians. I have no idea who wrote it, but it is full of wisdom.
GOD’S GARDEN
In growing a healthy, fruit-bearing church, try this plan:
Plant three rows of squash:
Plant seven rows of peas:
Plant seven heads of lettuce:
No garden is complete without turnips:
After planting, may you grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3: 18).
And may you reap rich results.

I serve an awesome God who created the earth and the whole solar system with all the planets. Even after hundreds of years, we are still finding galaxies and planets we never knew existed. What man could have ever thought to invent such marvelous things as those in the photos below?
These photos are from NASA/ESA and The Hubble Heritage Team. They were made by the Hubble Telescope.
This is a star cluster with stars of three age groups. There are approximately 10,000 stars here and this cluster is 13,300 light years away from earth.
This is Bodes Galaxy. It is 11.6 million light years away from earth, and it is 70,000 light years across its whole galaxy.
We all know that Saturn is the closest to earth of the three photos. It is 67 light minutes away, and is 9.5 times wider than earth.
I feel overwhelmed as I look at these photos. God is much deeper and more sovereign than we could ever imagine. The whole universe is delicately balanced in his hands.
So if He has “the whole world in His hands” as the children song says, can’t you trust Him to handle your problems?
Think about His Majesty and Awesomeness the next time you look up at the night sky!
