BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
"However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all."--Ecclesiastes 11:8
Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" HYPERLINK "http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?query=Matthew+4:4&t=niv"Matthew 4:4
HEARTLIGHT VERSE & THOUGHT
Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for." HYPERLINK "http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/Isaiah6.6-7"Isaiah 6:6-7
Thought: When we put the bread and wine to our lips during the Lord's Supper, God tells us that our "guilt has been taken away" and our "sin has been atoned for." The Holy One, in his grace, did what we could never do: he provided the perfect Sacrifice for our sin with his own Son. Our holiness, our righteousness, and our perfection are not won through our efforts on earth, but by the one who came from heaven's altar and gave his life so that we might be the righteousness of God (see HYPERLINK "http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/2Cor.5.21"2 Cor. 5:21).
Prayer: O precious and loving Father, thank you for your perfect sacrifice for my sins. Please use me to help others know of your incredible gift that allows them to stand before you holy and without any stain of sin. To you be all glory, honor, thanks, and praise in the name of Jesus, my Savior and Lord. Amen.
The Thoughts and Prayers for Today's Verse are written by HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@heartlight.org"Phil Ware. You can email questions or comments to HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@heartlight.org"phil@heartlight.org.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
What is it that we're actually doing when we sleep?
What are we actually doing when we sleep? I mean besides dreaming about getting that raise, winning the lottery, and eating a sinful desert without consuming a calorie. (Hey, dreams can be fun - if not realistic!) In truth, "shut eye" doesn't begin to describe sleep. During sleep, our muscles go limp but we do change position once or twice an hour -- our heart slows up and we breathe in a slow, even rhythm. We become deaf to all but the loudest of noises. Our brain waves also slow, with increasingly fewer oscillations per minute until we reach the minimum in what is called deep sleep. The exception, which happens a few times a night, is when our brain waves suddenly quicken and we manifest rapid eye movement and experience some muscle twitching. That's dreamtime, when anything goes chocolate, money, power, preferably simultaneously. Anyway, that's what the scientists say. But hey, to be honest, I'm not even sure what Im doing while I'm awake.

Grande has since issued two public apologies. In the first, she blamed obesity in America for her actions. And in the second, a video apology, she said: "Seeing a video of yourself behaving poorly that you had no idea was taken was such a rude awakening. I was disgusted with myself. ***Hey, what a coincidencewere disgusted with you too!
NEWS KICKER EVERGREENS
A recent study links watching a lot oftelevisionto an early grave. According to the report, the study in Spain followed more than 13-thousand adults. It found that those who watched three or more hours of television a day were twice as likely to die. ***MARLAR: And watchingTwo Broke Girls sped up the process three-fold.
FBI stats show many more people are killed on a regular basis with hammers and clubs than with rifles. ***MARLAR: Expect the Illinois legislature to start working on a hammer ban immediately.
In a survey by the group Cats Protection, 75 percent of cat owners over age 55 said they sometimes prefer to share their feelings with their cat rather than their spouse or friends. 81 percent of kids 13 and under said they'd rather talk to their cat about their feelings than to their parents or a friend. And among owners aged 20-to-40, 60 percent said they'd put up with their cat's bad breath but not their spouses, nearly half get a better night's sleep with their cat in bed than with their spouse, and 55 percent would tolerate their cat hogging the bed covers but not their spouse doing it. ***MARLAR: Oh sure... its okay for the cat to cough up a hairball, but just let your spouse do it (This is silly. I know from personal experience that you can talk to your husband about your feelings, and he'll ignore you just as well as your cat can.)
Census figures show that a near-record level of U.S. counties are "dying" that is, they are experiencing more deaths than births in their communities. About 1 in 4 counties or roughly 760 are fading away. ***MARLAR: So stop screaming about world over-population. Youve won so shut your pie hole.

MOMENT OF DUH
Not all school projects are a great idea even if assigned by a teacher.
A high school in Arlington, Texas had art students dress up in camouflage and carry rifles as a reenactment of the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, they planned the project for September 11, prompting a call to the police and a total lock-down of the school. Nice work, guys.
TOP TEN
TOP TEN THINGS MOM WILL NEVER SAY TO YOU
10. "How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?"
9. "Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too"
8. "Just leave all the lights on ... it makes the house look more cheery"
7. "Let me smell that shirt -- Yeah, it's good for another week"
6. "Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I'll be glad to feed and walk him every day"
5. "Well, if Timmy's mom says it's OK, that's good enough for me."
4. "The curfew is just a general time to shoot for. It's not like I'm running a prison around here."
3. "I don't have a tissue with me ... just use your sleeve"
2. "Don't bother wearing a jacket - the wind-chill is bound to improve"
1. You can have unlimited access to the phone
THE FILES OF LAW & DISORDER
Today's files of Law & Disorder focus on a really dumb lawsuit... brought by a judge!
FILE #1: Stupid lawsuits aren't a new thing in the files of Law & Disorder... but how often do we get tell you about a stupid lawsuit that is brought by a judge? It's one of those "only in America" stories... but it takes place in Essen, Germany, instead. Judge Hans-Josef Brinkmann is suing the Coca-Cola company because he claims it's their fault he got diabetes. (See, I told you it was a stupid lawsuit.) The judge apparently drank two bottles of Coke a day for years and says the company is partly responsible for his condition because they had no warning label about the sugar content of the drink and possible side-effects on health over long term use. I guess he never looked at the ingredients - the only ingredient of Coca-Cola that is more than sugar is the carbonated water! Judge Brinkmann wants about $4600 in damages and his medical expenses. Also at fault for his diabetes are the manufacturers of Mars Bars, Snickers and Milky Way... at least, according to the lawsuit.
FILE #2: In Rochester, Minnesota, an unidentified man walked into a bank, flashed a gun and demanded cash. Bank employees said he seemed a little nervous, a little fidgety. In fact, he left the building before getting his cash. Maybe he left because it dawned on him that he had locked his keys in his rusty old pickup outside. After a couple of minutes of trying in vain to get in the truck, he walked over to a nearby house and asked for a coat hanger. Suspecting that something was up, they wouldn't give him one. Finally, getting desperate, the guy took out his gun, broke the window and drove away. Not only did he not leave with any money, the window is probably going to cost more to fix than the old truck is worth.
FILE #3: A 22-year-old Florida man dialed 911 more than 900 times since May, police said, taxing West Palm Beach police dispatchers until his arrest on charges of misusing the 911 system. During many of the calls, Howard V. Hill Jr. claimed that an officer had been shot, indicated he wanted to shoot an officer with a bow and arrow or made animal sounds into the phone. Police say that on June 23 alone 200 calls were made to 911 from Hill's cellular phone. Once he was arrested he was allowed only one phone call... and you can guess what number he decided to dial.
STRANGE LAW: It's an old state law in Alabama that no person can sleep all night in a barbershop.
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS
Not even an FBI agent is totally immune from acting strange when his brain is on drugs.
FBI agent Robert Clymer was arrested for DUI in Las Vegas after he was found to have a blood-alcohol content of 0.306 percent, nearly four times the legal limit. This was after he was pulled from the burning wreckage of his 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, which had jumped a curb and began to smoke and caught fire after it was determined the engine had been running for a long time. Police found an empty 25-ounce bottle of rum on the passenger seat and a 9 mm pistol in the truck's cab. Clymer was hospitalized due to complications from smoke inhalation and intoxication. During sentencing, Clymer's lawyer said his client wanted to take responsibility for his actions. And that statement is truly bizarre, because responsibility apparently has different meaning to different people as Clymer is now turning around and suing General Motors for product liability.
PHONER PHUN
MOM, UNRULY KIDS KICKED OFF PLANE
Wendy Slaughter, her sister, and her four children were kicked off their connecting Southwest Airlines flight to Seattle, because her children were reportedly too unruly on the first leg of the trip from Detroit to Phoenix. Although Wendy admits that her children two of whom have special needs were restless and a little out of control, she doesnt believe her family deserved to be abandoned at the airport. Slaughters mother said she had to pay $2,000 to book last-minute tickets to Seattle the next day on Alaska Airlines. The family wants Southwest to compensate them and give a public apology.
PHONER: Do you think its okay for an airline to remove passengers who cant keep their kids in line? What would you do as a passenger on that plan... or if you were the parent?

THE WAY TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE EVEN AFTER TWO CUPS OF COFFEE JOKE OF THE DAY
JOKE #1
A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in-law. One night, after a long day's trek, deep in the jungle, his wife awoke with a start. Searching the camp she found her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted they immediately go out and search for her dear mother. Reluctantly, the hunter shouldered his carbine, took a swig of brandy, and led the way into the bush to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large lion stood facing her. The wife cried, "Darling, what are we going to do?"
"Be still," said the hunter husband. "That lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."
JOKE #2
Helen and her mother returned to her parents' house late one evening to find her father, her college-age brother, Steven, and her ten-year-old sister fast asleep. Her mom had forgotten her house keys, so they knocked loudly, first at the back door and then the front and side doors. They yelled the father's name over and over, with no answer. The car horn aroused the neighbors but no one at their house. They drove into town and phoned home, finally waking Steven. When they got back, he let them in. Helens dad was in bed, snoring, with the television on. Her mom quietly switched it off. Dad woke right up. "Don't turn that off," he said. "I'm watching it!"
JOKE #3
The story of Adam and Eve was being carefully explained in the children's Sunday school class. Following the story, the children were asked to draw a picture that would illustrate some part of the story. Little Bobby was most interested and drew a picture of a car with three people in it. In the front seat behind the wheel was a rather large man and in the back seat a man and a woman. The teacher was at a loss to understand how this illustrated the lesson. But little Bobby was prompt with his explanation. "Why, this is God driving Adam and Eve out of the garden!"
USELESS FACTS
Bern, Switzerland, is hoping to keep men from using parking spaces reserved for women by painting them pink and adding flowers. ***MARLAR: And if that doesnt work, theyll create special parking spaces just for men equipped with a toilet, big screen TV, and a mini fridge.
A few engineering students from Cranfield University in England have created the ultimate boy toy -- a full-sized remote controlled Hummer H3! It took the students about a month to convert the $78,000 vehicle into an oversized child's toy. Dr. James Brighton, who masterminded the project, said, "Everyone will be amazed by the handling ability-- the best any radio-controlled vehicle has had to date." ***MARLAR: Hey, guess what Im adding to my Christmas wish list!
FEATURED FUNNIES
SCARY STORMS
One summer evening, during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small frightened boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, "Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?"The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. "I can't dear," she said, "I have to sleep with Daddy."A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, "The big sissy."

NEED A NEW CAR? NEED A FREE ONE? FIND AN OLD LADY IN COLUMBUS, OHIO
Adam Brooks of Columbus, Ohio, and an elderly woman where involved in one of the most cordial robberies ever. Brooks theft of a 76-year-olds car involved many questions and many helpful answers. Adam told her that he didnt want to hurt her, he just wanted to steal her car. He even asked if she needed to take any medication. He took her car keys and headed to the garage to take her car only to come back into the house to ask where the garage door opener was. The lady obliged and he left. He then came back and said the garage wasnt opening. She told him the button sometimes sticks and you have to push it hard. He left again, but you guessed it, he returned again. He said he only knew how to drive stick. She told him how to put her automatic-transmission car into drive. And he was gone. For good. Brooks has been charged with delinquency, counts of aggravated robbery and kidnapping ***MARLAR: Gee. The lady seemed so kind, she probably wouldve just given him the car in the first place if he wouldve just asked nicely.
INSPIRATIONAL INSPIRATION
WINGS OR CRUTCHES
God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear..." Psalm 46:1,2a.
That word is, present tense, a right-now conviction that there is helpand hope. The verse doesn't delineate the trouble; it only tells us that help and hope are there when they are so acutely needed.
Hopewhich should be a Christian frame of mindis one of God's greatest blessings to man. It is Christian hope that helps us to bear the burdens of life. "...Jesus Christ, who is our hope..." (1 Timothy 1:1), a this-moment possible confidence that all is not lost the instant we think it is. "In the presence of trouble, some people grow wings; others buy crutches."
A legend is told of the time when God placed wings on the backs of the feeble birds and they protested loudly to Him, "Must we be burdened with this weight?" The Lord smiled and asked them to wait a week. The next day a strange thing happened. A force of some kind lifted them heavenward and the birds found themselves flying and floating, and enjoying a sensation they had never felt before. When the week passed they reappeared before the Lord and humbly acknowledged the wisdom of their Father. "These very wings which we ridiculed as unnecessary burdens we now cherish. They enable us to soar into the loftiest heights!"
We may be at the end of our rope, and that is exactly when God reaches down and pulls that very ropeand usup to Him. It is said that when Luther and his friends became discouraged, Luther would cheerily say, "Come, let us sing the forty-sixth Psalm." Luther had a special affinity for this particular Psalm and for good reason. When he said, "Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise," he knew that his resources were immediate and unfailing; he need fear no man on earth. "A mighty fortress is our God!" So let us grow wings to soar beyond and above earth's sorrows and diseases of psyche and physique.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE TRUTH
Read: HYPERLINK "http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?language=english&version=NIV&passage=1+Corinthians+1:18-25" 1 Corinthians 1:18-25
. . . always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 2 Timothy 3:7
In 1692, Harvard College adopted as its motto Veritas Christo et EcclesiaeTruth for Christ and the Church.Its crest showed three books, one face down to symbolize the limitation of human knowledge. But in recent decades that book has been turned face up to represent the unlimited capacity of the human mind. And the motto has been changed to Veritas-"Truth."
The pursuit of knowledge is praiseworthy, yet learning can quickly lead to pride and a refusal to acknowledge any limits on our mental abilities. When that happens, biblical truth is ignored or rejected.
What, then, is the truth about truth? A wise king wrote centuries ago, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge(Proverbs 1:7). We must recognize the relationship between God and truth. Without the help of the Holy Spirit and the instruction of Gods Word, man will be ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). When we acknowledge and obey His truth, however, we will be set free from spiritual ignorance and error (John 8:32; 17:17).
Thats why we must be diligent in our study of the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15). It is the only book that tells us the truth about truth. Vernon Grounds
For Your holy Book we thank you;May its message be our guide,May we understand the wisdomOf the truth Your laws provide. Carter
Study Gods written Word to know Christ the living Word.

SUPER SECRET RODENT
Can rodents catch undercover operatives? The British believed so during the Cold War!
Among the Cold War intelligence ideas of the mid-1970s (intelligence being a relative term in this case) was the British MI5 agency's proposal to station gerbils at airport terminal gates, in the hope that they would exercise their ability to detect passengers who were unusually sweaty, in that such passengers were disproportionately likely to be spies entering Britain. MI5's director-general during that time, Sir Stephen Lander, speaking at an intelligence agency conference, said the idea was abandoned when the agency realized that lots of people who go up in airplanes sweat. ***MARLAR: I don't know what scares me more about this one... that I could be arrested for sweating, or that a trained gerbil would point out that I had B/O.

COMPUTIGER?
Imagine a tiger knocking on your door to fix your computer it happens regularly in one California town.
Computer repairman Dennis Avner of Guatay, California, just may be the world's most extreme variation of a "furrie." You know -- those folks who dress like and adopting the persona on an animal. Dennis has tiger-stripe tattoos covering most of his body, dental implants sharpened to points to resemble tiger teeth, and metal-stud implants around his mouth to hold his long, plastic whiskers. He's also had ear and lip surgery to make his head more cat-like and wears special contact lenses to make his eyes appear as ovals. But alas, while he told the San Diego Union Tribune that folks in the Guatay area are mostly tolerant of him, he's nonetheless has decided to relocate to Washington state. ***MARLAR: So you have a town that mostly accepts you despite your freakiness, and yet you decide to relocate anyway are you sure youre brain hasnt also been surgically altered?

MORE SHOW PREP STUFF...
Good news for dieters -having a sweet treat at breakfast can actually help you lose pounds and keep them off for longer. Scientists followed 200 non-diabetic obese adults who were randomly assigned to eat one of two low-calorie diets. Although both diets had the same number of daily calories - one included a large breakfast with a sweet treat such as a doughnut while the other allowed for a larger meal later in the day. The researchers from Tel Aviv University said those who consumed the carbohydrate and protein-rich 600 calorie breakfast were more successful at sticking to their diets than those who had the 300 calorie morning meal. They found that halfway through the eight-month study, participants in both groups lost an average of 33 pounds per person.

A.D.: The Bible Continues may have been cancelled by NBC, but the series could live on. According to Relevant magazine, executives at NBC opted not to bring the event series back for a second season after its initially strong ratings slowed down. But Roma Downey and Mark Burnettthe husband and wife team who produce the showstill may have plans for the A.D. franchise. The duo have reportedly envisioned an online network that would be built around faith-based programming, like The Bible miniseries and A.D. If thats the case, more episodes could be coming. As of now, the channel is gearing up for a late-2016 or early-2017 launch.

Persecuted Christians unable to access the Bible could soon be able to print their own with a new program facilitated by Wycliffe Associates. According to Christianity today, Digital printing systems provided by the US-based organization will allow those in countries hostile to Christianity to publish the text in their own language. They will be given a computer, printer, binder, laminator and paper cutter, and trained to operate the system set up in a safe house. Officials say the program aims to create ways by which the Bible can be hand-carried and distributed discreetly.

Christians claim to believe the Bible is God's Word. We claim it's God's divinely inspired, inerrant message to us. Yet despite this, we aren't reading it. Christianity Today reports that a recent LifeWay Research study found only 45 percent of those who regularly attend church read the Bible more than once a week. Over 40 percent of the people attending read their Bible once or twice a month. Almost 1 in 5 churchgoers say they never read the Bibleessentially the same number as those who read it every day.

THE WAY WE WORK
(Updated as it comes available. HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/" The Way WE Work is written by Mark Elfstrand from 1160Hope.com in Chicago.)
HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-working-mom-question.html" The Working Mom Question
Do working moms make for better moms? I may be meddlin here.
An article posted on the website Quartz claims mothers who work outside the home have more successful daughters and more caring sons. The story is based on some new Harvard research that should certainly help reduce the guilt that many working moms might have. HYPERLINK "http://qz.com/434056/working-moms-have-more-successful-daughters-and-more-caring-sons-harvard-business-school-study-says/" http://qz.com/434056/working-moms-have-more-successful-daughters-and-more-caring-sons-harvard-business-school-study-says/
If you do a little more Internet research you find quite a mixed bag on this topic. There are many stories of women who leave professional careers to be at home. Others explaining how they are able to maintain the balance of work and family.
One of the more statistically deceiving set of numbers comes from a 2014 Pew Research study. It was titled, 7 Key Findings About Stay-at-Home Moms. Point #5 claims the share of these stay-at-homes in poverty has doubled since 1970! But pay close attention to the fact that the overwhelming increase comes from married mothers with non-working husbands, cohabiting mothers, and single mothers. Actual poverty level of married mothers with working husbands increased by 15%.
The Harvard study leaves me questioning their value system for mothering. They seem to value more money and managerial jobs for the grown up young women, and more chores and home responsibilities for boys.
The final paragraph from this article really got me. It includes a quote from Professor Kathleen McGinn at the Harvard Business School and the lead author of the study. Here goes:
Her message for working mothers is that being employed has long-lasting, positive effects on children. When you go to work, you are helping your children understand that there are lots of opportunities for them, says McGinn.
Hmmm. Wait. I have questions.
Lets say a couple with children at home approached me as a faith leader at church and asked for my counsel on whether its best to have a stay-at-home mom. She has a nice offer from a company.
I would first ask why the mom is considering this decision. Various answers could result. Financial reasons are, indeed, usually first. Wanting to use education or professional skills would be up there. Needing greater challenge or purpose might come up. Each reason has its own justifications.
Next, I would ask the couple where being the primary influencers in the development of their children ranks. The influencer role applies to more than one category. Foremost, the moral and spiritual foundations. Next, the social skills and the vital learning of navigating difficult situations. Then, having a keen awareness of the uniqueness of the children and how to help them pursue the person God created them to be. And, of course, engaging them in meaningful conversations daily about their world.
The answers to those questions would be of significant value in offering counsel. Parents who put financial interests and personal advancement as priorities will likely go for the working mom. But common sense should tell us less time and attention with children means less influence.
Ive yet to meet a grown up child who says, I wish my mom worked more outside of the home. Kids learn to take pride in their parents regardless of status. The praise Ive witnessed most from grown up children are about the sacrifices their moms made for them. Rarely are those sacrifices derived from spending less time with them. Or earning more money.
There are situations where moms must have a paying job. However in this age, we need more moms being present and available to guide and grow their children. A stable home environment is the greatest predictor of future family well being. PLENTY of research on that.
Proverbs 6:20-23 helps here: Good friend, follow your fathers good advice; dont wander off from your mothers teachings. Wrap yourself in them from head to foot; wear them like a scarf around your neck. Wherever you walk, theyll guide you; whenever you rest, theyll guard you; when you wake up, theyll tell you whats next. For sound advice is a beacon, good teaching is a light, moral discipline is a life path. (The Message)
That instruction comes from the home. Mothers nurture children best. Why yield that privilege of child development up to someone else? Just asking.
Noware the cookies and milk ready? Just kidding!
