BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
"And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.'" -- Luke 22:19
Hebrews 2:18= Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE, PRAYER & THOUGHT
(From VerseOfTheDay.com)
Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. HYPERLINK "http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?query=Colossians+3:17&t=niv"Colossians 3:17
Thought: Everything! All! No matter what we say, no matter what we do, it is to be offered as a gift of thanks to God with Jesus' name, power, and honor attached! This makes all of life our worship and thanksgiving to God. There's no such thing as going to worship, if we live, if we talk, if we act it's worship and should always involve thanksgiving. So how has your worship been lately?
Prayer: Almighty and Most Holy God, I want all of my life to be lived out to your glory, a living testament of thanks to you for the grace you have given me in Jesus. While I do not always do this as well as I would like, I lovingly offer you my words, my actions, my heart and my mind to bring you glory by doing your will. Please, use your Spirit to remove the areas of self-deception from my life so that weakness and hypocrisy will not rob my discipleship of its intended worship of your majesty. In the name of Jesus, my gracious Lord, I pray. Amen.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
What makes something a red letter day?
Guessing won't help on this one. For example, it has not the slightest connection to Communism or to Nathaniel Hawthorne's novel, The Scarlet Letter. And it certainly has nothing to do with the ugly red letters that appeared at the top of your school papers after your teachers got through with them. In fact, its origins are in the Roman Catholic Church. In the Middle Ages, monks working as scribes marked Saint's days and other religious observances in red on the calendar. Such dates needed to stand out because they were special and sometimes required preparation. Modern calendar makers have preserved that practice, marking holidays in red. By extension, any day that's really special for you, because you did something great or had some good fortune, is a red letter day.

The story of a robbery that turned into a friendly helping hand thats today's Moment of Duh!
A gunman in St. Peters, Missouri robbed a 711 store, but returned the money minutes later because his car wouldn't start. Amazingly, the store clerks came out to the parking lot and gave the robber's car a jump start. Police Officer David Kuppler commented: "We have a very friendly town out here."
TOP TEN
TOP TEN REASONS COLLEGE STUDENTS ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO THANKSGIVING BREAK AND GOING HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
10. You'll know that your turkey is a Butterball rather than a Grade E yet semi-edible fur ball.
9. Your mother will not be serving your mashed potatoes and stuffing with an ice cream scooper.
8. Pumpkin pie is a great alternative to green Jello.

THE FILES OF LAW & DISORDER
Chances are you've probably lost your car at a mall parking lot a time or too. But if you are a pack of thieves stealing items from the mall and then hiding them in said car, you probably want to ask for help finding the car from someone other than police.
FILE #1: ... alas, that was not the case for three women and man from the Boston area. While police were at the Natick Collection mall to investigate a string of robberies, a Newton Police officer was approached by three ladies in the mall parking lot who couldn't find their car. The officer realized that one of the ladies matched that description and took all three into custody. Police eventually found their car, the missing mall store items, and the wire cutters and utility knife that were used to cut off security tags.
FILE #2: Scott Schmitz of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin stole 5,619 quarters from a Buggy Bath Car Wash. In the week following the burglary, Schmitz, who didn't have a job, bought a car using only quarters. An easy tip off to police that they were not dealing with a genius.
FILE#3: Police in Clio, Michigan stopped to check on a truck that got stuck in the mud at a city park and were shocked to find a 13-year-old boy behind the wheel. The boy's 41-year-old father, who was sitting in the passenger seat, told police he had had too much to drink and let his son drive. The problem there was the boy had been drinking too, and open containers of beer and liquor were found in the vehicle. Dad is now facing several misdemeanor counts, including child endangerment, allowing an intoxicated person to drive his vehicle and allowing an unlicensed minor to drive. The boy's going to juvenile court on charges that include driving while intoxicated.
STRANGE LAW: In Maine, shotguns are required to be taken to church in the event of a Native American attack.
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS
35-year-old Brian Poulin of Hebron, Connecticut called 911. In fact, he called several times. It seems that the big emergency was that he was out of beer and he wanted them to pick up more for him. Police finally showed up, but what they picked up was Brian and they charged him with disorderly conduct.

THE WAY TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE EVEN AFTER TWO CUPS OF COFFEE JOKE OF THE DAY
JOKE #1
A few years ago, an American and a British journalist were discussing Thanksgiving on a British radio program. The American asked if Thanksgiving was celebrated in the UK.
"Yes," the British journalist replied, "but we celebrate it on the 6th of September."
"Why then?"
"That's when you chaps left."

THE MOTHER OF ALL AIRPORT LAYOVERS
A Japanese man named Hiroshi Nohara has decided to take full advantage of his tourist's visa in Mexico City and has moved into the airport. He's been living there for two months. Nohara, who can't explain why he decided to live in the city airport, has been getting by on free donations from local fast food stands and kind visitors. Apparently he was gaining so much notoriety with the local media that he's even being sponsored by a few of the stands who give him free hats and shirts to wear. Now, as a tourist attraction in and of himself, people stop by the airport just to take their picture with him.
INSPIRATIONAL INSPIRATION
Then Davids throne will be established by love. From that throne a faithful king will reign, one who always does what is just and right. Isaiah 16:5...Just as Satan was cast like lightning out of heaven, he is being cast out of his earthly kingdom by the power of Jesus. As Isaiah says, The oppressor will come to an end, and destruction will cease; the aggressor will vanish from the land (Isaiah 16:4 NIV). Isaiah further prophesied that in love a throne would be established, that in faithfulness a man from the house of David would sit on that throne, judging with justice and righteousness (v. 5). Thank God for the power of love over hatred! For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son...(John 3:16). The love of God was manifested to this world the moment Jesus stepped into it. Everywhere He went, the oppressors kingdom came to an end. Jesus cast out devils from all those bound by them, for God was with him (Acts 10:38). Paul states that Jesus died for our sins, just as God our Father planned, in order to rescue us from this evil world in which we live (Galatians 1:4). In your darkest oppression, there is One whom God has sent to rescue you. He is the King on the throne of David. Let Him wrap His arms of love around you and protect, deliver, and rescue you from the oppressor.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD
The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. Nahum 1:7
Nineveh was in trouble with God. Big trouble! Despite the good work of the reluctant prophet Jonah, Nineveh had returned to its evil ways. The Ninevites had oppressed other countries, worshiped idols, and performed acts of cruelty.
God saw this evil, and through the words of Nahum He spoke of Ninevehs coming destruction, using words such as wrath and vengeance. Nineveh was about to face judgment.
Why would Gods prophet tell the people of Judah about this? How could Nahums frightening words help those who lived in the Promised Land?
There is help for answering those questions in Nahum 1:7-8. His prophecy of the destruction of those who reject God stands in sharp contrast to Gods promise to those who trust in Him. The godly, rather than facing judgment, would be cared for. They would have a refuge in Him.
God is not one-sided. He provides refuge, help, and comfort for those who trust Him, and He also sends judgment against those who disobey His standards.
The message for us is the same as it was for Judah. Through trust and obedience, we can enjoy the comfort of Gods refugeeven in times of trouble.
Dave Branon
How oft in the conflict, when pressed by the foe,I have fled to my Refuge and breathed out my woe;How often, when trials like sea billows roll,Have I hidden in Thee, O Thou Rock of my soul. Cushing
Everyone must face God as Savior or as Judge.

GAS ATTACK
Nuclear war... it almost happened recently just because of a few fish!
A fish with gas may have caused a full-scale nuclear alert! A fleet of NATO ships headed for the Baltic Sea on full alert to try to track down the "enemy submarines", but found nothing. Instead, analysis of the propeller-like noises detected underwater showed the sound could have come from a school of herring passing wind. ***MARLAR: Who knew fish could get gas?

TURKEY BEAUTY TIPS
Tired of holiday leftovers already? No problem - I have a very unique way of getting rid of those leftovers without wasting them!
Is there no end to turkey leftovers?!?! Apparently not, but this should help you get rid of some of them. Romanian skin care expert Elena Schnell says you can rub those leftovers on your face to look more beautiful! For dry skin, she suggests pumpkin pie mixed with lemon, or a facial mask of turkey fat, oatmeal and egg yolks. For oily skin, coat your face with leftover cranberries mixed with mashed potatoes and an egg white. And if you want to look good before the holiday meal, moisturize your face with whipped cream. To firm up jowls and stretch out wrinkles, carry a drumstick in each cheek. ***MARLAR: Heck, on Thanksgiving I HAD a drumstick in each cheek!

THE TROUBLE WITH CHAIN LETTERS
Can chain letters really be true? Can you really experience bad luck for NOT forwarding a chain letter or chain-email to your friends?
Let me tell you this first I despise chain letters. I think they are not of God, and even if there were nothing wrong, spiritually, with them, I STILL wouldn't send them out or read them because:
A: I don't believe in luck period.
B: They are a complete waste of time.
C: No one else in this world of any intelligence takes them seriously either.
Don't believe me? Let me prove my point then. Let's assume that this is in the form of a chain-letter. If you really do what you're supposed to do, and the people th a t y o u f o r w a r d t h i s t o r e a l l y d o w h a t T H E Y a r e s u p p o s e d t o d o , a n d s o o n & t h i s i s w h a t w o u l d h a p p e n & ( I f y o u s e n d t h i s t o 2 0 p e o p l e w i t h i n t h e n e x t 4 d a y s , a n d e a c h o f t h e m s e n d i t o f f t o 2 0 o t h e r p e o p l e w i t h i n 4 d a y s , i n 4 0 d a y s , a p p r o x i m a t e l y 1 0 t r i l l i o n e m a i l s w o u l d c r o s s t h e I n t e r n e t .

If you drop the ball, you will break about 1,800,000 chain e-mails per day, bringing almost two million times the bad luck upon yourself than if you broke the first chain e-mail to begin with. THAT'S WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IN CHAIN-MAIL INTERNET OR OTHERWISE!
The logical conclusion? Well, if you did believe in luck (which I don't) it is better to break the initial chain letter and receive one dose of bad luck than to continue the chain letter, and by day 44, receive 1,800,000 doses of bad luck. Imagine one poor fellow he could end up having 287,345 heart attacks, lose 5,137 wives, get fired from at least 100,000 jobs, and get run over by a truck. His Visa card would be revoked. Nobody would like him anymore. He finally would end up in 459 terrible car accidents, but not be lucky enough to die and finally this poor guy would resign himself to the idea of not dying, and would immediately be hit by a meteorite and vaporized. But his cells would go on to experience even more bad luck. THAT'S WHY I DON'T BELIEVE IN LUCK AND I BELIEVE EVEN LESS IN CHAIN MAIL! Of course, if you want to test this theory and pass out this message to 20 people every single day and ask them to do the same, please feel free to do so.
TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS!

OTHER STUFF I WANT TO CRAM INTO TODAYS PREP
U.S. Army veteran Allen Thomas has been searching for his twin children for nearly half a century, and finally, his search is over. According to ABC News, Thomas had been looking for his twins, a son and a daughter, ever since he had to leave them behind with their birth mother in South Korea more than 40 years ago. Thomas said their birth mother later put them up for adoption without his knowledge. Even though they were adopted by American parents, their records were sealed and Thomas couldn't get any additional information. It wasn't until the news program "20/20" offered to help Thomas find his twins that he was finally able to make progress. After months on the case Thomas was recently reunited with his son and daughter for the first time in more than 40 years.

A former cancer nurse is now making Disney wigs out of yarn for children battling cancer. Holly Christensen originally made one Disney princess wig out of yarn for a friend's sick child. The idea took off from there. Christensen says they originally had individual families contacting her wanting wigs for their own little girls who had just been diagnosed. Since then four hospitals have ordered wigs. Now a GoFundMe page has been formed to help cover the costs of yarn and volunteers around the country are also helping to take on some of Christensens workload.

Ten years ago, Mark and Tori Baird got a knock on their door from a Marine whod just returned from Iraq. The soldier was wondering if they had any jobs around the house that could help him earn $100 which he needed for an electricity bill. The encounter sparked the idea for the Bairds to start a job board called Hire Marines. The website took off and, since it's inception, it has helped thousands of veterans get work.

The turkey is the dumbest domesticated creature on earth. Yet the turkey, as stupid as he is, has sense enough not to stuff himself on Thanksgiving.
The Pilgrims really had something to be thankful for on that first Thanksgiving. All their in-laws were still in England.
THE WAY WE WORK

In case you are wondering, Thanksgiving may or may not be the busiest travel time of the year. There seems to be disagreement here. The Department of Transportation claims Thanksgiving is the busiest long-distance travel day overall. BUT91 percent of that travel turns out to be by automobile. For air travelers and other commercial modes, Orbitz still crowned Thanksgiving Eve numero uno.This provides a good opportunity to share the ongoing woes of todays air travelers. This is kindled freshly in my mind as I recently had long distance flights to Israel and back. Also, my son and daughter-in-law just arrived from California with stories. But lets start with this recent headline from the Chicago Tribune: HYPERLINK "http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-united-airlines-on-time-1113-biz-20151112-story.html" 5 Reasons United Might Finally Be Improving Its On-Time Rate. After all, United is the worlds second-largest airline. And lets admit ... the friendly skies get less friendly if you keep showing up late!To the good credit side, United is making some progress under their new CEO. October was one of their best months in their history. On the poor performance side, this rough assessment: In 2012, United botched its combination of the merged airlines' reservation systems, the technological backbone of an airline. For months, glitches and poor airport employee training led to rampant flight delays and cancellations. That damaged Uniteds profits as corporate customers fled to competitors.So the price of customer dissatisfaction supposedly means you lose business. But not so fast. Theres still a ways to go.First, has anyone noticed the airline rows are narrower? Seats getting smaller? Legroom shorter? If you havent, you may not fly a lot.These three scrunching techniques that bug paying customers drive improved profits for the airline. Forget the long lost meals on long domestic flights. Ignore those commercials showing comfy passengers on a plane. Get realand get scrunched. Im an oversized customer to the airline. Im around 62 tall and over 200 pounds. Fairly broad shoulders. On our recent Israel trip, I had an aisle seat, which helped me avoid crushing other passengers by climbing over them to get something overhead or use the washroom. However, during the twelve hour flight, I mistakenly put my elbows on the arm rest. This resulted in cart bruising. Then there were the people bringing their luggage on board smashing my sides as they navigated to their seats. And the up-and-down-the-aisle bumps from passengers during the flight. Admittedly, I was in economy. But I was flying on the airline that used to brag they were something special in the air!But among the worst passenger offenses these days is the boarding procedure. On these same flights, you are put into groups. Pity those in Group 5. You might have considered traveling with the bags.Priority boarding now offers early access to about ten groups BEFORE they get to the Group 1 ticket holders. This includes any of the airlines favored status people. I was in the Oh, are you actually flying with us? group. It was my fellow passengers, however, who got the brunt of the problem.These days, the airlines let you bring rollerboard suitcases on to cram in the overhead compartments. If you are in the highly favored groups, your super size bags usually get on even if you take up all the space to the end of the plane. This leaves NO room for the bags of the later boarders. So the airline requires these poor folks to now check their bag before getting on the plane. Sayonara, needed travel items! Many tail end customers had to check bags.One in our group had her medications in said bag. She was told there was no room in the bin. (Sounds like a modern day Christmas story.) This was on the short flight. BUTsince her bag was being automatically sent now to its final destination, she was without her travel bag until we arrived in Israel! Her pleas earned no sympathy. This is, of course, a fixable problem in two ways. Keep your on board luggage privileges the same, and order planes with bigger capacity. ORchange those baggage size rules so that customers dont take their wardrobe on the plane. I have been flying for years. This has become a more recent problem because business travelers dont want to wait for luggage. And who can blame them? (That is an issue to be addressed next week.)Regrettably, these issues of crammed in customers and oversized luggage in the bins is unlikely to get resolved without customer revolt. As long as people are willing to pay for being mistreated, the treatment wont change.The Bible, of course, says nothing about elbow and legroom. Or overhead bins. Or on-time flights. It does, however, encourage good treatment. Try this: When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. (Leviticus 19:33, ESV)And for goodness sake, dont lose his luggage!Thats The Way WE Work.
