BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. --Romans 12:12
So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be alert and self-controlled. HYPERLINK "http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?query=1+Thessalonians+5:6&t=niv"1 Thessalonians 5:6
HEARTLIGHT VERSE & THOUGHT
Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit... Repent and live! HYPERLINK "http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/Ezekiel18.31-32"Ezekiel 18:31-32
Thought: God reminds us to turn away from our own self-seeking ways. He calls us to turn to him with a willingness to obey his will. If we refuse, we must know that we are walking the road that leads to death. God longs to do the work of rebirth and renewal, but he asks us to turn from our destructive ways and offer our hearts to him to be made new by his Holy Spirit. Repentance is to turn off the road leading to destruction and onto the road that leads to the Father's house, the place of life.
Prayer: Please forgive me, O mighty God, for trying to rule and govern my own life. I confess that I've made a mess of things when I haven't obeyed your Word and when I have rebelled against your will. I want to turn my heart and life completely over to you. I want to obey your will and to live for your glory. Thank you for your forgiveness and strength as I seek to find life in you. In the name of the Savior Jesus, I pray. Amen.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
What's the purpose of that snap-box thing they clack in front of a movie camera just before filming a take?I don't know how many times I've seen one of these things in some TV documentary about the movies and never asked myself why the heck they needed it. But sure as shootin,' just before the camera roles, some fool sticks this box that has the title and take number printed on it in front of the camera and clacks it. The key, it turns out, is in the clack. The purpose of this mysterious ritual is to synchronize the soundtrack with the picture. In the editing room during post-production, the editor can align the soundtrack for the entire scene by synchronizing the clack sound with the frame in which the box - it's called a clapboard - is snapped closed. Then again, sometimes it's more fun if King Kong opens his mouth to roar and you hear instead someone ordering a coffee with milk and a piece of Danish.

A British company is marketing a device to attract young people to church: a karaoke machine called the Hymnal Plus that shows the lyrics on a big screen and plays 3,000 hymns, from the traditional to a disco version of "Amazing Grace." ***MARLAR: And as we all know, people pray more fervently when subjected to pain and torture.
A new type of contact lens has been introduced that aims to actually cure nearsightedness. The idea is that if kids begin wearing them early enough, the lenses' unique design will train the eye to grow in a way that will eliminate vision problems. ***MARLAR: So it's kind of like wearing braces for your eyeballs. The tricky part is getting the tiny rubber bands to stick to your eyelashes.
Employers watch out - your workers can't wait to quit. According to a recent survey by job-placement firm Manpower, 84% of employees plan to look for a new position in the next year. That's up from just 60% last year. ***MARLAR: Tell me about it. I cant wait to get away from my boss... and Im self employed!
A rolled up newspaper can be an effective training tool for your pet when used properly. For instance, use the rolled-up newspaper if your dog chews up something inappropriate or has a housebreaking accident. ***MARLAR: Bring the dog over to the destroyed object (or mess), then take the rolled-up newspaper... and hit yourself over the head as you repeat the phrase: "I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG, I FORGOT TO WATCH MY DOG!"

MOMENT OF DUH
We may have found the world's laziest man
and hes so lazy that he painted over a rat in his restaurant instead of picking it up! The inDUHviduals name is Theo Morris, hes a cafe owner in Brisbane, Australia, and he was fined $20,000 by health inspectors for painting over a dead rat rather than picking it up. Acting on a tip from his own grossed out staff, food safety inspectors discovered the rodent stuck to the floor and covered in red paint in the main dining area of the restaurant. But our furry friend was just the beginning. There was also a giant fungus, other rodents both dead and alive, cockroaches and untouched food being rescued from garbage cans before being re-served.

THE FILES OF LAW & DISORDER
When applying to be a police officer, it usually helps to have a clean criminal record
FILE #1: Laurie Ralston of Amherst, Ohio sent in an application to work for the Amherst police department; but it wasnt her resume that got the attention of police it was her record. After she applied for a job as a police dispatcher, police did a background check and found she had 17 traffic convictions, including seven speeding tickets and two citations for driving without a license. She was called back for what she was told would be an interview. Instead, she was busted and charged with failing to appear in court and driving without a license. Ralston says she had no idea she was wanted.
FILE #2: A man from Sweden is in custody for suspicion of theft. The interesting thing is how they caught this guy. You see, he tried to reclaim a bag police found on the bus. The bag contained a sawed off shotgun and mask. Police still don't understand why this guy thought they wouldn't have looked inside of it.
FILE #3: A disgruntled 51-year-old Pleasant Prairie man recently arrested in a case of vandalism at his boss' house probably could have found a better getaway vehicle than his work truck. The whacked-out worker is accused of pouring 10 pounds of roofing tar on his boss' porch late one morning before driving away. He wasn't too hard to track down, however. Police just homed in on the global-positioning system the man's employer had placed in the company's vehicles.

TEN WAYS TO TELL IF YOUR NEIGHBOR IS AN ___________ (EXTRATERRESTRIAL)
Many top scientists believe that aliens live secretly among us. The sneaky intergalactic travelers often pose as our friends, neighbors and co-workers while they learn the ways of Earth. But how can you tell invading aliens from real humans?
Weekly World News has interviewed dozens of experts and conducted exhaustive research to bring you this list of the top ten ways to recognize aliens in our midst.
1 Aliens often wear huge sunglasses to hide their eyes. Most aliens have large, staring eyes that are hard to conceal. Sunglasses help them appear more normal.
2 Aliens have cold and clammy skin. Many aliens wear synthetic skin in order to pass themselves off as human. Its never as warm as real skin, and it often feels slimy to the touch.
3They smell. Aliens use all manner of deodorants, perfumes, or lotions to disguise their natural scent, which is offensive to humans.
4 Aliens are obsessed with technology. They spend hours chatting on cell phones and sending e-mails. But theyre not conversing with people they are actually transmitting data theyve accumulated back to their home worlds.
5 Aliens have strange bodily proportions. The newest breeds of aliens attempt to imitate human appearance but they never quite get it right. They are like exaggerated ideas of human perfection. Their stomachs are too flat, their chests too big, their faces wrinkle-free.
6 Aliens have strange diets. Aliens may not be able to digest most human foods. Because of this, they are limited in the types of foods they can eat, and they may become vegetarians. Watch out for people who eat a lot of melons thats an alien favorite.
7 Aliens dance in inhuman ways. Most alien species have a completely different physiology than ours. They have the ability to move their bodies to music in a way no ordinary human can, and this results in a Dancing style that is quite breathtaking.
8 Aliens do not understand Earths sense of humor. Forget what you saw on Mork and Mindy. Aliens find it difficult to understand laughter even a simple knock-knock joke can throw them completely off. They might laugh at inappropriate times like during a funeral or stare blankly at the funniest jokes.
9 Aliens dress in oddly revealing clothes. Aliens find clothing irritates their flesh, so the less of it they wear, the more comfortable they are. They also like to keep their fake human skin exposed to air, to allow it to breathe.
10 Aliens ask hundreds of questions. Aliens are on Earth for research, and they want to learn as much as possible about Earthlings. Theyre like alien anthropologists, fascinated by human behavior and eager to study our culture. So keep your eyes open for any people asking a lot of nosy questions.
THE WAY TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE EVEN AFTER TWO CUPS OF COFFEE JOKE OF THE DAY
JOKE #1
A police officer pulled a woman over for driving erratically. She explained, "I was driving down the road, when all of a sudden a tree appeared right in the middle of the road. I swerved sharply to the right, but there was another tree. I turned to the left, and another tree appeared. No matter if I turned left or right, trees magically appeared in the road."
Shaking his head the officer said, "Ma'am, that's your air freshener."
JOKE #2
At a business conference in Montpelier, Vermont, the state tax commissioner asked the audience which sort of taxation they found fairest.
There was a pause, and then a white-haired man in the back raised his hand. "The poll tax," he said.
"But the poll tax was repealed," replied the commissioner.
"I know," declared the man, "that's what I like about it."
JOKE #3
It was the beginning of term at a primary school in Brooklyn. The teacher asked the children their names one at a time, and for each to spell their name out loud. When she came to a young boy and asked his name, the boy replied, "Ravashanka Vankatarataam Bannerjee" he replied.
"How do you spell that? asked the teacher.
"My mommy helps me" said the little boy.
USELESS FACTS
Perus government says its high time Peruvians were on time. Chronic lateness in Peru is often overlooked as an endearing cultural trait, with weddings, funerals and business meetings rarely starting on time. Its even considered rude to be punctual for a party. But the government says the time has come to change that attitude. ***MARLAR: Here in the United States its called church time.
Scientists at Oxford University's Imperial Cancer Research Fund found that people who eat fresh fruit daily had 24 percent fewer heart attacks and 32 percent fewer strokes. ***MARLAR: Do strawberry Pop Tarts count as fresh fruit?

GOOD QUESTION
Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, "Why is the bride dressed in white?"
"Because white is the color of happiness and today is the happiest day of her life," her mother tried to explain, keeping it simple.
The child thought about this for a moment, then said, "So, why's the groom wearing black?"
IT MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO!
What was the longest you were ever sentenced to detention in school? One man just finished doing 25 years of it!
In 2005, the Weekly World News reported from Fort Wayne, Indiana, a boy who got caught pulling a cruel prank in high school has finally completed his detention -- 25 years later. It was in 1980 that Jerry Finkle received the harsh sentence from a fed-up teacher. "I deserved it," the 42-year-old Finkle has been showing up at his old high school every day at 3pm and staying two hours for detention. Finkle, who now works as an accountant, was not legally obligated to finish his detention, but he chose to do so anyway. "It just felt like the right thing to do," Finkle says. "I did a lot of bad things in high school, and this was my way of making up for it."
INSPIRATIONAL INSPIRATION
So they went out to fight against the warriors of Benjamin, but the men of Benjamin killed another eighteen thousand Israelites, all of whom were experienced with a sword. --Judges 20:24-25
Is it possible to be doing the right thing and still seem to be losing the battle? The Lord himself had commissioned the men of Israel, saying, Go out and fight against them (Judges 20:23). The Israelites battle was in retaliation for Benjamins wickedness. You would think that God would have instantly given the Israelites victory. Instead, they were defeated twice before they finally prevailed! How important it is not to interpret one lost battle as meaning that God is not with you! Satan may win a battle, but he wont win the war. You are fighting the Lords battles, not your own. Casualties often occur in war, but victory is sure to come to the one who keeps inquiring of the Lord. Once, then twice, then a third time, the Israelites regrouped and sought the Lord. They knew their cause was just and that the war was not over until they had won. Never doubt in the darkness what God told you in the light. If God told you to do something for Him, it will succeed. He knows the enemys strategy and will give you the victory in the end!
--By Larry Stockstill
DRIVE TIME DEVOTIONAL
ALWAYS ON HIS MIND
Read: Isaiah 49:13-18
I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me. --Isaiah 49:16
As a teenager, I had low self-esteem. I wasn't very handsome at all. I wore glasses that I thought made me look like a nerd. I never could tell jokes and make people laugh. I didn't think anyone thought much of me--or even thought about me at all (especially Head Cheerleader, Brenda Hinkle... I'm SURE I didn't exist to her)! But throughout those difficult years I knew without a shadow of a doubt that my parents loved me dearly--glasses, acne, and all.
I know that Mother's day is this Sunday, but I'm going to talk about my father for just a minute. Several years ago, I was sitting with my father, talking about the days when I was growing up, and we had a brief, quiet moment. Neither of us said a word for about 20 seconds, and then my dad began to tear up and say that the day I was born, it was the proudest day of his life. And then he added that there is not a day that goes by that he does not think of me and beam with pride all over again.
Moms and dads think about their kids a lot, both before and after they're born. They suffer for them and with them. They sacrifice for them. They love to laugh with them. They love them and pray for them.
God thinks about His children constantly too. Isaiah 49 assures us that even if a mother could forget the baby she is feeding, or a mother-to-be could forget the baby in her womb--our heavenly Father never forgets any of His children. And God has not just one baby or two (like my parents did) or three or even ten, but millions upon
millions. Yet, He knows each one by name (Isaiah 43:1), and as Psalm 139 so beautifully conveys, He perceives each one's thoughts, understands each one's hopes, sympathizes with each one's fears, shares each one's dreams, and sees each one's secret sins. God loves each of us more tenderly than any mother or father ever could.
Next time you feel unloved, remember that Someone is thinking of you with great love and tenderness--the King of kings and the Lord of lords has you always on His mind.
LEFTOVERS
FULL CONTACT GOLF?
Sports seems to be getting more and more violent as time goes on, doesn't it? There's wrestling, hockey, football, and now the violence has turned to the normally relaxing game of golf! A golfer has been arrested after starting a fight at a golf course in Florida over... believe it or not, a lost golf ball. Robert Jacobs has been charged with battery after being accused of scrapping on the fairway with Robert Borkowski. Mr Jacobs claims Mr Borkowski deliberately threw his ball into a lake. He went to get a new ball from Mr Borkowski's bag and the two started fighting. Because of this incident, Mr Jacobs had to spend some time in jail, but was released on bail. Mr. Jacobs says, "It probably sounds kind of funny. If I opened up the paper and read about this, I'd probably have a laugh at it too, but it happened to me." ***MARLAR: No sir, you were right, it was funny.
LIFE... LIVE IT
YOUR HAIRSTYLE DETERMINES YOUR CAREER
Forget your college degrees and professional training just make sure you have the right hairstyle! According to a new survey from the fine folks at Brylcreem, a person's choice of hairstyle may have the greatest influence on their career. Brylcreem found that Mullets were still a popular hairstyle for those whose professions didn't require a lot of public interaction like construction workers, truck drivers and even (gulp!) radio DJs! Guys with cropped hair or shaved heads were far more likely to be employed in manual labor jobs than those with long hair. Entrepreneurs had the most individual hairstyles which often varied and followed no apparent trend. Examples are Bill Gates sporting a traditional short side parted style, while Donald Trump has a massive flipped back mane that no one can figure out. Lino Carbosiero, Brylcreem Style Director said, "It's interesting because we like to think we're all individuals, and that our hair and clothing is a result of personal preferences, when in fact it seems that we all are very influenced by our workplace and co-workers - although I'm sure many of us won't like to admit that!"
JUST FOR FUN
DJ JESUS
The more I study the Bible, and the more I learn about Jesus, the more I'm convinced that he would've made an excellent radio personality! I'll explain...
I'm sure no one would disagree with me that it takes someone with a very different personality to be a radio DJ. It's just too bad that Jesus didn't have broadcasting during his ministry... he would've been the perfect candidate for radio.
He liked to tell stories.
He was widely misunderstood and misquoted (and still is). ***MARLAR: I get emails all the time with complaints about things Ive said, taken out of context.
Some people, misunderstanding Him, simply tuned him out. ***MARLAR: That happens to me all of the time.
People who didn't hear what they wanted to hear tuned him out. ***MARLAR: Thats a big problem in Christian radio people NOT wanting to hear the truth.
He lived on very little, such as bread and fish. ***MARLAR: Welcome to the salary of a DJ.
He wore modest clothes. ***MARLAR: Again, welcome to the salary of a DJ.
He was used to not making any money, and He didn't care about it. ***MARLAR: DJs have to get used to not making any money too. But the analogy stops there. I don't know any DJs that don't care about it.
He could find immense value in something as tiny as a mustard seed. ***MARLAR: This is a direct reflection of the contents of a radio personality's refrigerator. We have practically nothing in there but still have to make the best of it.

UPDATED EVERY WEDNESDAY (using Mondays post). HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/" The Way WE Work is written by Mark Elfstrand from 1160Hope.com in Chicago. Posted as new entries become available.
HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/2015/05/ring-around-collar.html" Ring Around the Collar
The current season of the popular television show Survivor developed a new team theme. Cast members were recruited and divided up into the categories to match their fit in the workplace. The so-called white collars were used to giving the orders, blue collars taking the orders, and no collars claimed to be carefree spirits not fitting in with either group. As a television show, audience had the stereotypes reinforced in the earliest episodes. The blue collar team perceived themselves as hard workers and grunts on the ground, willing to do whatever was necessary in the wild. The white collar team couldnt manage to get a fire going, an essential for cleaning, cooking, and so forth. The carefree group wasnt worried about who was in charge or when things got done. With their fire started, they preferred to take it easy. You get the picture. Just in as in real life, misconceptions abound. White collars proved quite capable in physical challenges. Blue collars had to make hard decisions and think ahead. And the carefree world of no collars found tension and emotional baggage in struggling to play the game.Survivor is about winning a million dollars. Strategy, power, and politics play out everywhere. As people are voted off and teams merge, new social maneuvers must be developed and new alliances created. So what are the real differences between white collar and blue collar and no collar types? I believe much of it is centered in the power to make decisions and live a lifestyle of your preference. Thus, the real color of your collar may have a green tint: money. As its commonly known, when management wants you to perform, it comes down to two things: more money and/or more power. Remove those, and you diminish perceived collar value as well.Two events in sports over the past weekend provide an interesting illustration. The NFL Draft was held in Chicago. Our city became Draft Town. In a period of three days, a large group of hard working, dirt churning, sweat generating muscle men transitioned from blue collar life into millionaires. While they will remain under the thumb of coaches and management, control over their lives made a huge leap.The second event was the highly promoted boxing match of welterweights on Saturday night. A 38-year-old fighter, Floyd Mayweather Jr, defeated the 36-year-old Manny Pacquiao. The decision was unanimous. Boxing is hard work. I mean REALLY hard work. The training would kill most of us. The actual fight would kill the rest. So you have to have a LOT of blue collar work ethic to win. And you have to be really goodto make a living. The fight brought in an estimated $300 million. The Mayweather contract required him to receive 60 percent, win or lose. Lets just say he wont have to worry about the price of Jelly Bellies in the days ahead.So as Mayweather takes the gloves off, do any labels come off? Is he a blue collar guy, or is he now white collar? Or no collar? He could buy his own franchise or start a thousand companies where hes the boss. In the case of both fighters, money has given them leverage over life.For these new NFL draftees and those boxing professionals, their success came after hard work and listening to tough taskmasters. All true athletes know success requires regimen and training, discipline and following orders. So do military men and women.There is more to say on this topic, which I will address in my blog two weeks from now, Lord willing. In the meantime, here is another tip from a spiritual leadership consultant known as Peter. He writes, Servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and gentle but also to the unjust. (1 Peter 2:18, ESV) Ruminate on that for a while. And then well get back together for Round 2 in a couple of weeks. Ding! There goes the bell.
MORE SHOW PREP STUFF...
FORGET THAT APPLE A DAY STUFF!Chocoholics rejoice! A Hershey bar a day could keep the doctor away!
Eating chocolate might one day fend off tooth cavities and thwart dental decay, according to researchers in Japan. They found that parts of the cocoa bean (specifically the bean husk), the main ingredient of chocolate, fights mouth bacteria. The bacteria leads to cavities. The CBH (cocoa bean husk) usually is thrown out and goes to waste. Researchers at Osaka University suggest the bean husk be put back into chocolate to make it better for your teeth. It could also be used in toothpaste and mouthwash. The Japanese researchers found that rats that had CBH added to their water had healthier teeth. They now plan to test their findings on human teeth.
TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!
Updated every Monday! Outlandishly irritating stories Ive come across over the years. They may not be new but they certainly are entertaining and totally outrageous!
TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS
A high school student in Florida was suspended recently for passing around a petition complaining about Confederate symbols at her school.
Krista Adamswas angry about tee shirts and bumper stickers around campus with such slogans as If I had known this, I would have picked my own cotton. Kristawrote a flier critical of the displays and handed it out around school. Then she passed around a petition urging that the rebel flag be banned from the campus. She got 94 people to sign it. For that, she was suspended for 10 days. The school said it was for distributing unauthorized material on school grounds. ***MARLAR: Yeah, you can't be spreading free speech around that could be dangerous!
