BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
"The Lord detests lying lips, but He delights in men who are truthful." --Proverbs 12:22
As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. --Psalm 103:12
Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love, and in endurance. HYPERLINK "http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?query=Titus+2:2&t=niv"Titus 2:2
HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE, PRAYER & THOUGHT
Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody. HYPERLINK "http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/1Thessalonians4.11-12"1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Thought: What's your ambition? I don't know about you, but I'm not so sure I could say my ambition is to "live a quiet life ...." But when I hear the reason for that directive, I understand. So many people I meet are frazzled, run down, and exhausted with all their "busy-ness." So let's make a commitment to cycle down a little, trust God more and more each day, and seek to live a life that wins the respect of those around us!
Prayer: O precious and righteous Father, I need your help to learn to slow down and tend to my own responsibilities instead of running around out of control and without purpose. Please grant me not only the wisdom that I have been praying for, but also the patience and quietude that I need for that wisdom to change my heart and mind. In Jesus' name I ask it. Amen.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
Did barbershop quartets ever have anything to do with barbershops?
You've surely seen barbershop quartets on TV or in the movies. You know, four guys wearing straw hats, harmonizing on such Stone Age favorites as "Sweet Adeline," "Down by the Old Mill Stream," or "Sweet Genevieve." American as apple pie, right? Well, as British as shepherd's pie is more like it. In Shakespeare's time a barbershop was a male hangout as well as a place to get one's haircut. Guys being guys, they indulged in a little Elizabethan doo-wop while awaiting the snip-snip, with someone strumin' and pluckin' on a lute. That's where it all started. Flash forward to barbershops in the American West in the late 19th century. Substitute a banjo for the lute. Add a little man-talk one wouldn't use at home and some good harmonizing. The haircut was almost incidental. Hummmmmm.

MOMENT OF DUH
If youre planning on playing paintball, make sure your targets know theyre playing too!
Merced, California's John McKay, Juan Gonzalez, Nicole Cox, and a 16-year-old friend were having a great time playing paintball. Not having a great time were several passersby they shot at random. Not having fun now are our four paintball playing friends. One person they shot turned out to be Merced County's top prosecutor. District Attorney Larry Morse II was apparently an unintended target when he was shot in the back. He was uninjured and unamused as he chased the suspects down and will prosecute them on a felony charge of conspiracy and misdemeanor battery.

THE FILES OF LAW & DISORDER
Ever had any "Red Bull"? Be careful - it could cause you to commit crimes!
FILE #1: You've probably seen the ads for the energy drink Red Bull. You know... Red Bull, it'll give you wings. That's because Red Bull is basically a big can of caffeine. And now, in Darwin, England, a 17-year-old boy who robbed a supermarket of $17,000 at knife point says it's because he drank too much Red Bull and went crazy. He claims he had 11 cans which doctors told the court is more than twice the caffeine needed to cause significant toxic effects possibly creating a blurring between fantasy and reality. His lawyer says since committing the crime he no longer drinks Red Bull or has had any caffeine for that matter. Justice Steven Bailey said caffeine intoxication might explain but did not excuse the crime. The boy pleaded guilty. Judge Bailey gave him a 4-year suspended jail sentence.
FILE #2: A 34-year-old saleswoman was caught driving down a Swiss motorway while she was using her laptop computer and chatting on a handheld mobile phone, police in northeastern Switzerland said. The driver said she was unaware of any wrongdoing and responded that she was "driving like I always do", police in the canton of St Gallen said in a statement. A police patrol pulled her over after they saw her car zig-zagging along the A3 motorway near the town of Murg. The woman was remanded to magistrate's court because of her "unreasonable behavior", police said.
FILE #3: Lorain, Ohio, police officer Joseph Kopronica pulled over a van because it appeared "out of control." He said the driver, Nancy M. Lang, 42, appeared drunk. But if he hadn't noticed that, Lang may have given him a clue: "Please give me a break," she asked him. "I'm drunk." After failing a field sobriety test, he told Lang she was under arrest. She protested "Wait: I can do this!" and proceeded to do jumping jacks and a push-up. When she started to do a cartwheel, Kopronica stopped her, for her safety and for the officers. Lang has been charged with speeding, driving under the influence of alcohol, driving with a suspended license, and driving with expired license plates. ***MARLAR: Any calisthenics can and will be used against you in a court of law.

THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS
This is your mail on drugs.
Here's anotherwhat-was-he-thinking story. Authorities in Northern Californiareport they busted Steven Coburn for mailing marijuana, thanks tohis return address on the package. Investigators say the MillValley man mailed a-half pound of pot through a private shippingcompany but forgot to put the address on it. In accordance withprocedure, workers opened the package to see if the label hadbeen accidentally sealed inside. When workers discovered theweed, they called the cops. Coburn has been released on bail,after being charged with suspicion of drug possession for sale. And because he used the U.S. Postal Service for his attempted delivery, it becomes a FEDERAL offense! Nice job, Steve.
PHONER PHUN
September 10, 1955: Bert Parks hosted The Miss America Pageant for the first time and sang "There She Is, Miss America" to Sharon Kay Ritchie. Parks hosted the pageant for 25 years.
PHONER IDEA - Get listeners to call in and sing "There She Is, Miss America" for a prize. Should be pretty funny - if they can even remember the song!
Over in England a woman told a TV host that she has a fear of sunflowers. Yep, those big, tall flowers we get a wonderful snack from. After revealing her fear they brought one out.What odd thing creeps you out?
BIBLE BRAIN BUSTER!
QUESTION: What bird did Jesus use to teach us that God will care for us?ANSWER: The sparrow. ("Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your father's will. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." --Matthew 10:29-31)

THE WAY TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE EVEN AFTER TWO CUPS OF COFFEE JOKE OF THE DAY
JOKE #1
The United Way realized that it had never received a donation from the city's most successful lawyer. So a United Way volunteer paid the lawyer a visit in his lavish office. The volunteer opened the meeting by saying, "Our research shows that even though your annual income is over two million dollars, you don't give a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give something back to your community through the United Way?"
The lawyer thinks for a minute and says, "First, did your research also show you that my mother is dying after a long, painful illness and she has huge medical bills that are far beyond her ability to pay?"
Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbles, "Uh... no, I didn't know that."
"Secondly," says the lawyer, "my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair and is not able to support his wife and six children."
The stricken United Way rep begins to stammer an apology, but is cut off again.
"Thirdly, did your research also show you that my sister's husband died in dreadful car accident, leaving her penniless with a mortgage and three children, one of whom is disabled and another that has learning disabilities requiring an array of private tutors?"
The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, says, "I'm so sorry, I had no idea."
And the lawyer says, "So...if I didn't give any money to them, what makes you think I'd give any to you?"
JOKE #2
My sister landed a good job with an accounting firm, and after a while she got a generous raise. The day she found out about it, her husband picked her up from work, and they stopped for ice cream. As they continued home, my sister blurted out, "Isn't it hard to believe that I have a job that pays this much money?"
Just then, she went to toss the last of her ice cream cone out the window. However, the window was closed, and it smacked against the glass.
Her husband replied calmly, "Yes."
JOKE #3
The navy psychiatrist was interviewing a potential sailor. To check on the young man's response to trouble, the psychiatrist asked, "What would you do if you looked out of that window right now and saw a battleship coming down the street?"
The baby sailor said, "I'd grab a torpedo and sink it."
"Where would you get the torpedo?"
"The same place you got your battleship!"
USELESS FACTS
Thomas More, King Henry VIII's Chancellor, is one of history's most famous martyrs. The King ordered him beheaded because More would not violate his conscience in order to do his monarch's bidding. Now here's a little-known sidelight to that story: Henry knew that More loved to speak and ordered him not to be long-winded at the executioner's block. But More had plenty to say at the last minute. And why not? He knew his head would be cut off anyway.
During the Cold War the Brits and Americans built what is thought to be the longest tunnel ever constructed for the purposes of spying. They began in West Berlin and dug 1,476 feet into East Berlin, intending to tap into underground cables used by the Communists to send messages. What the intelligence agencies of both countries have suppressed to this day is an embarrassing fact: when a small test hole was dug to the surface, what they saw was not the Berlin Wall but the Eiffel Tower.
FEATURED FUNNIES
What's for Dinner? Bernie had a fight with Rachel, his wife, and went to the movies to cool off. Later that evening, he decided to phone home to see what the situation was and maybe even apologize. "Hello, darling," he said, "what are you making for dinner?" Rachel shrieks, "What am I making for dinner? After all the horrible things you said to me earlier, you want to know what I am making for dinner? Poison, that's what I'm making! Poison!" Bernie replies, "Okay then, just make one portion, I'm not coming home.
IT MUST BE TRUE BECAUSE I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO!
I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE
We may live in a microwave "instant gratification" society, but some things we have no choice but to wait for - such as new furniture to be delivered. One woman was tired of being patient and took matters into her own hands.In our fast-paced society, we often have a difficult time waiting for things. Gillian Kennedy of Bristol, England, decided she just couldn't wait any longer for the furniture she ordered and took matters into her own hands. After being told the dresser she ordered 10 weeks ago was still not in and was on backorder from Malaysia, Gillian stormed the furniture store. With a screwdriver in hand she spent 30 minutes taking apart the display model of the dresser she wanted and put the pieces in her car. Walking out the door she yelled to the store's staff, "Don't you dare try to stop me!" And they didn't!
INSPIRATIONAL INSPIRATION
The Buzzard, The Bat, and the Bumblebee
If you put a buzzard in a pen six or eight feet square and entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of his ability to fly, will be an absolute prisoner. The reason is that a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a run of ten or twelve feet. Without space to run, as is his habit, he will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner for life in a small jail with no top.
The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkable nimble creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, no doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.
A Bumblebee if dropped into an open tumbler will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.
In many ways, there are lots of people like the buzzard, the bat and the bee. They are struggling about with all their problems and frustrations, not realizing that the answer is right there above them.
DRIVE TIME DEVOTIONAL
"Mom," asked the little boy, "Didn't you say we came from dust and someday we will all return to dust?" Mom smiled, "Why, yes, Son. I did. What makes you ask?" "Well," the little tyke continued, "there's a lot of people under my bed right now--and I just wanted to know if they were coming or going!" You smile and relate--for unless you're some kind of neat freak, you've got little people coming and going under YOUR bed, dresser, sofa and TV too, just like me! Now DUST wouldn't normally have a devastating effect on me--I can live with a little, and so can you!! But when your allergy doctor sticks your back with food, chemicals, grasses, weeds--AND dust--and you come up DUST, you sit up, say, "Please let me scratch," and listen a little more closely! Now I exaggerate a little 'cause my case is not a bad one, but I'm learning a lot! You see, these DUST MITES--the little critters you can only see with a microscope--actually feast off our dead skin cells--in bedding, drapes, carpeting, stuffed animals--in MY house and yours. Frankly, I could certainly think of far better things to eat--yuk! In any event, they are mighty little things that can cost you money--and bring a little bit of madness along the way as you rush for the allergy pills, the nose sprays, the dust-busters and the catalogs with allergy-free comforters! Little microscopic monsters that will mess up your sinus cavities, your throat, your ears, your breathing, your voice, your head--and your life--if you let them!
Can't help but remind me of some other "mighty mites" that march down the street and mess up our lives and homes--mighty mad mites of sins, stress, sadness, sickness......one little mite on top of another, until we are a basket case, running for cover...DON'T - for that's where the mad mighty mites reside--IN THE COVERS--grin--go read the books! And now, get out the Good Book, read a Psalm; put on a praise-and-worship tape; calm down; find something funny in the whole little mess--and see how the mighty mad little mites will march right out of your home and life--as the Might of God's power and Spirit put them to flight! Don't let the little stresses and messes of life BUG you. After all, in the light of eternity, how BIG are those little mites after all....not VERY....especially in view of the great big God we serve. So after you're all done washing your bedding, your blankets, your drapes, your carpets, don't forget to wash YOURSELF in the Water of God's Word.....let the mites, the bites, the fights, the blights--whatever the devil is magnifying in YOUR life, be gone as His cleansing Word fills your heart and life.
March on, little mites....you're not wanted here, there or anywhere where God's children are serving the Lord. We stand together against the "little mites" that mess up our lives. We gladly watch them MARCH OUT at the mention of HIS Name--and we move on to breathe deeply the fragrance of His love and His marvelous joy in our lives!
Now believe it--strike up the band and watch the little mites march right out of your life--in the Name of the Lord!

SUDDEN DEATH
Could it be that God still strikes people dead instantaneously? Does God still smite people? You might question that after hearing our next story.
Ask 35-year-old Kim Russell of Somerset, England. Kim had been carrying on an Internet-based romance and planned to finally meet her chat-room boyfriend. She was so excited about the rendezvous she walked out on her husband and two children two days earlier. So after walking into the hotel room to meet this guy, for the very first time, she immediately collapsed and died right on the spot. The coroner's inquest found no evidence of foul play and simply labeled the death "sudden death syndrome."
LIFE... LIVE IT
FIGHTING FAT WITH FAT
Its the latest idea in combating obesity... fighting fat with fat! Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Joslin Diabetes Center, both in Boston, have discovered that brown fat cells the good kind of fat that burns energy and keeps us warm may lead to new treatments for obesity. Conventional white fat the bad fat stores energy. A person who is obese has large stores of white fat, and researchers think if they can coax the body into making more brown fat, they might be able to help obese people lose weight. ***MARLAR: Im doing what I can to get just brown fat by eating only fatty foods that are brown... like doughnuts, cheeseburgers, chocolate shakes... all brown!

25 SIGNS YOU'RE HEARING A LIE
It's possible to determine if that person is lying to you just by carefully watching for clues.
According to Sheri and Bob Stritof, authors of "Your Guide to Marriage" on About.com, there are specific verbal and nonverbal clues we all give when we tell a fib. While few people would exhibit all ofthese, it's the rare person who can tell a lie and not exhibit some of them.
Touching the chin or rubbing the brow
Crossed arms or legs
Playing with hair
A line of perspiration on the brow if it isn't a warm day
Saying "no" several times
Continually denying accusations
Being extremely defensive
Providing more information and specifics than necessary
Inconsistencies in what is being shared
Body language and facial expressions don't match what is being said such as saying "no," but nodding the head up and down
Smugness

Labor Day returns! Id be interested to know, of all American holidays, which is the least recognized and celebrated? Many people dont have a good working knowledge of Labor Day history.Our actual holiday of Labor Day has an interesting history. HYPERLINK "http://www.christianpost.com/news/labor-day-how-the-movement-became-a-national-holiday-125568/" The Christian Post shared some details of this a year ago. The article provides a good refresher.Christians are divided on whether labor unions should be viewed as favorable. History has shown that many improvements in the workplace have come about through both the awareness and pressure applied by labor unions. Thats the good side.But unions have also been known to be corrupt. Greedy. And, at times, violent in their treatment of those who dont share their agenda. Its hard to endorse that kind of organized labor.But my blog today has a different focus. Im recommending reading a fairly lengthy opinion piece in the New York Times. Its titled, HYPERLINK "http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/30/opinion/sunday/rethinking-work.html?_r=0" Rethinking Work.The story opens with the troubling reminder that nine out of 10 workers spend half their waking lives doing things they dont really want to do in places they dont particularly want to be.The article states that it was Adam Smith, the father of industrial capitalism, who felt that people were naturally lazy and would work only for pay. It is the interest of every man, he wrote in 1776 in The Wealth of Nations, to live as much at his ease as he can.That is a fairly brutal assessment that leaves me feeling parched for more meaningful work.But it is why the Times opinion writer, Barry Schwartz, adds Work is (still) structured on the assumption that we do it only because we have to. The call center employee is monitored to ensure that he ends each call quickly. The office workers keystrokes are overseen to guarantee productivity.There is, however, a different way to approach work. And its one of my favorite stories from this article:About 15 years ago, the Yale organizational behavior professor Amy Wrzesniewski and colleagues HYPERLINK "http://www.jstor.org/stable/259118" studied custodians in a major academic hospital. Though the custodians official job duties never even mentioned other human beings, many of them viewed their work as including doing whatever they could to comfort patients and their families and to assist the professional staff members with patient care. They would joke with patients, calm them down so that nurses could insert IVs, even dance for them. They would help family members of patients find their way around the hospital.The custodians received no financial compensation for this extra work. But this aspect of the job, they said, was what got them out of bed every morning. I enjoy entertaining the patients, said one. Thats what I enjoy the most.Now, while I cant tell you these custodians are Christ followers, I can tell you that their attitude reflects the Godly command to all believers to work as if we are working for the Lord. Heres the way the apostle Paul said it to the Ephesians:Servants, respectfully obey your earthly masters but always with an eye to obeying the real master, Christ. Dont just do what you have to do to get by, but work heartily, as Christs servants doing what God wants you to do. And work with a smile on your face, always keeping in mind that no matter who happens to be giving the orders, youre really serving God. Good work will get you good pay from the Master, regardless of whether you are slave or free. Ephesians 6: 5-8, The MessageDo thatand your soul should be able to transform any work into a form of service in the most positive of ways. You might even call your work... a labor of love.And with thata Happy Labor Day.Thats The Way WE Work.
