Pastors discuss global warming

By Greg Miller

Two pastors, who had been close friends for many years, began meeting once each week to discuss local, regional, national and world issues.

Old-Fashioned Pastor and Contemporary Minister both loved the Lord, but they didn’t always see eye-to-eye on their topic of conversation.

The pastors decided to conduct a special two-week series on man-made global warming. Each church was scheduled to host one of the discussions.

The first discussion was held in Contemporary Minister’s church. “Thanks for hosting the first discussion in our two-part series,” said Old-Fashioned Pastor.

“I’m glad to do it,” said Contemporary Minister. “And thank you for hosting next week’s session.”

“Let’s get right into our conversation,” said Old-Fashioned Pastor. “You believe in the concept of man-made global warming, correct?”

“I most certainly do,” said Contemporary Minister. “Surely, you’ve noticed that this summer is the hottest summer on record in this community!”

“We have experienced a big heat wave over the last few weeks,” replied Old-Fashioned Pastor. “But that fact doesn’t prove that global warming is true. All it means is that we’re having a very hot summer.”

Old-Fashioned Pastor continued, “Now if the average temperature in this community increases by two or three degrees a year for the next 20 years, I would say that it was warmer here over a short period of time. For me, it still wouldn’t prove the idea of man-made global warming.”

“Many scientists are convinced that global warming is taking place,” said Contemporary Minister. “That’s the primary reason I agree with the concept.”

“Many scientists don’t go along with the theory, and I agree with those scientists,” countered Old-Fashioned Pastor.

The following week’s session was held in Old-Fashioned Pastor’s church. “The temperatures this week were even hotter than they were last week,” said Contemporary Minister. “What do you say to that?”

“It was so hot that although the central heat and air is working at my home, the temperature on the inside of the house was almost as hot as the outside temperature,” said Old-Fashioned Pastor. “But I just cannot go along with the concept of man-made global warming. I do, however, believe in the concept of God-made global warming.”

“What do you mean?,” asked Contemporary Minister.

Old-Fashioned Pastor replied, “Listen to the words of the book of Revelation, chapter 16: ‘And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.’

“So it appears to me,” said Old-Fashioned-Pastor, “that global warming may be on the way, but I don’t think it will be anything that man will want to take the credit for!”

Couple prays for a son

By Greg Miller

Abbie and Arthur had been married for five years and they were praying for a son.

Abbie was trusting that the Lord would give her the desire of her heart. Thus far, however, she had not been able to conceive.

“Oh, God!,” she exclaimed. “Please hear my grieving spirit! Give me a son, and I will raise him to praise and glorify your name!”

Arthur also prayed to the Father, asking Him to allow his wife to bear a son. “Sovereign Lord!,” he cried, “I promise if you give us a son, I will be the best father I can be!”

About three months later, Abbie and Arthur visited a physician, who had great news for them. “In a few months, you two will become parents,” said the doctor.

The physician, Dr. Babee Deliverer, also had a surprise for the happy couple. “It seems that the Lord is blessing you with four sons!,” he said.

“Four sons!,” exclaimed Abbie. “Now that is a surprise, I was pretty sure I was expecting, but I wasn’t anticipating so much of a blessing. Thanks for the good news, Doctor.”

“Yes, Doctor, thanks for bearing the glad tidings,” said Arthur. “We may even name one of the boys after you.”

“It would be a huge honor for me if you gave them Biblical names like Adam, Moses, Matthew and Paul,” said the doctor.

After Abbie and Arthur left Dr. Babee Deliverer’s office, they returned home, enjoyed a quiet dinner, then went for a walk in a nearby park. The couple walked over several scenic trails.

“This park is certainly quiet,” observed Arthur. “The only sounds I hear are the rustling of the wind through the trees and the cheerful singing of the birds.”

The tranquility was interrupted by a loud, “Hi, Mom! Hi, Dad! I’m Matthew, your son. Thanks for bringing my brothers and me to this fantastic park. It’s so peaceful. Adam, Moses and Paul can’t talk to you yet, but I thought I’d pop up for a little chat.”

“This conversation certainly is a pleasant surprise,” said Arthur. “Your mom and I both prayed for a son, but it was a real shock when we learned four of you guys were on the way.”

“Very true,” said Abbie. “But I’m just thinking…if all four of you are hungry at the same time, I won’t know which of you to feed first.”

“I’ll help you make that decision, Mom,” said Matthew. “I am now putting in an official request to get my bottle first.”

“OK, Punkin,’” said Abbie. “But I still have one unanswered question. We prayed for one boy, but the Sovereign Lord is blessing us with four.”

“That’s easy, Mom,” said Matthew. “When you pray to God with a special request, sometimes you get much more than you bargain for!”

Pastor-Teacher conducts
seminar on the Last Days

By Greg Miller

Pastor-Teacher decided to conduct a prophecy seminar in his hometown on the Last Days.

“If it catches on, I may promote it nationwide,” he said. “The Last Days is a very important topic.”

Pastor-Teacher asked PR Volunteer to give away free tickets to the seminar. Due to the great interest in the seminars, Pastor-Teacher rented Local Community Building in which to conduct the event. The building, which had a seating capacity of 2,000 people, was used for a variety of purposes, including funerals, weddings, birthday parties and Christian worship services.

On the day of the event, Pastor-Teacher realized that all 2,000 seminar tickets had been distributed, and requests for 4,000 additional tickets had been received. He contacted local TV Station and Local Radio Station, both of which agreed to air the seminar.

Local Newspaper Reporter also attended the seminar to record Pastor-Teacher’s comments and write a front-page story for the following day’s paper.

All members of the media positioned themselves in such a way that they would be able to report accurately everything that happened during the seminar.

Pastor-Teacher began the seminar by quoting Revelation 1:3-8:

is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

"John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”

“Does anyone have anything to say before we continue with tonight’s lesson?,” asked Pastor-Teacher.

“I do,” spoke up Seminar Attendee. “I had a Revelation Moment at my home earlier this week. We only have one clock in the house, and for some reason it stopped running at 2 a.m. I’ve been studying about the cessation of time and the beginning of eternity. When I awoke at 7 a.m. and saw that the clock had stopped several hours before, I thought eternity had already begun!”

New airline promotes Christian ministry

By Greg Miller

Brand New Airlines of the Christian Faith offered in-flight chapel services on all its flights.

The airline’s chaplain, Pastor Carl, continuously exhibited a positive attitude. “I like to live with my head above the clouds,” he joked.

Pastor Carl faithfully conducted worship services aboard the airline’s No. 1 Airplane every Saturday and Sunday. “You don’t have to miss out on worshipping God in church just because it’s the weekend,” he said.

Pastor Carl used a variety of tools to illustrate his messages. One Saturday, several passengers were asked to compose and recite short poems about their relationship with Jesus Christ. The following day, he asked passengers to share a few brief testimonies.

Pastor Carl used the airplane’s take-off and landing processes to describe the mountains and valleys of life. “Each of us experiences life’s highs and lows,” he observed. “But through all of our joys and trials, the Lord Jesus Christ is with us.”

One weekend, Pastor Carl was sick, so he asked his assistant chaplain, Pastor Cornett, to share God’s Word with the passengers. “I would be thrilled to fill in for you,” said Pastor Cornett in a phone call from Pastor Carl. “I look forward to flying again. I haven’t flown for many years. Do you have any tips about in-flight ministry that you can share with me?”

“Well, let’s see,” said Pastor Carl. “You must remember that you are ministering to people of varying faith backgrounds. You must share the love of the Lord with all passengers, giving an equal opportunity to each of them to hear about God’s mercy and love.”

“No problem,” said Pastor Cornett. “That’s the approach I use with every sermon I preach at the church where I serve as the pastor. And my associate minister, Pastor Charlie, looks at ministry the same way that I do. He realizes the importance of everyone having an opportunity to hear about how much Jesus loves them.”

Pastor Cornett told Pastor Carl that Pastor Charlie believed adults should be ministered to in a way that even children can understand. “Pastor Charlie uses puppets, kids songs and other tools from which both children and adults can benefit,” Pastor Cornett said.

“The only problem with me filling in for you is that Pastor Charlie’s wife, Sister Charlotte, has to work. You see, Sister Charlotte plays the piano for Pastor Charlie when he conducts the services. She works as a flight attendant for Brand New Airlines of the Christian faith.

“Pastor Charlie has a tendency to become really excited when he is ministering, and Sister Charlotte helps calm him down. With Sister Charlotte up-in-the-air in her role as a flight attendant, when Pastor Charlie’s excitement begins to rise, no one will be there to bring him back down to earth!”

What Makes A Family?

What Makes A Family?

Published: July 4, 2010 11:31 PM EST

By: Isaac Davis Jr., BGS, MBA

As I am locating a parking space this Sunday Fourth of July morning at Wal-Mart today, I begin to ponder the idea of what does it mean to be a family. The very definition of family signals debate. Two web definitions define family as all the members of a household living under one roof or a group of persons who shares common ancestry (The American Heritage, 2010). But, family can mean lot more than just people who share common DNA together or live under one roof.

I believe family is that person or persons that you feel closeness to and no matter what...you know that this person is someone you can depend on regardless of the circumstances. Is that not what one can say is the true meaning of family? I know I can depend on my family members whenever I need them. And that gives me comfort to know that I have someone who is championing for me to do well in life. What are your thoughts on what makes a family? I would love to hear from our readers of this Webzine.

Note: Feedback form is at the bottom of this page.

I also would like to wish everyone a Happy Fourth of July!!

New Music Spotlight
July 2010 Edition

19 Mirrors

Music Now Artist/Band Spotlight Weekly Series

Our Webzine recently interviewed the amazing indie band 19 Mirrors about their awesome sound and their musical journey. In this spotlight, we were delighted with what the band had to reveal about their music. Here is in-depth interview with the members of 19 mirrors.

Isaac: Let’s get started with this interview. When and how did you first become interested in music? How long have you been playing music?

Hannah Hypnotic: I've been interested in music for as far back as I can remember. I would play cassette tapes of Billie Holiday, The HellCasters, Billy Joel, Led Zepplin, Madonna, and Janet Jackson over and over when I was a little girl. My parents and grandparents encouraged me to play the fiddle when I was 4 years old, and I played in contests and festivals for about 9 years until I decided I just wasn't interested. (Didn't stop me from winning the Topanga Bluegrass Fiddle competition and getting on a compilation CD, but it wasn't really my scene.) I liked singing.

But, nothing ever came of it besides a brief, sulky stint in my High School Choir; I pined through High School and College, then finally sold my car and ran off to Japan to be a rock singer. It's been working out great so far.

So to answer your question, I suppose I've been playing music since I was 4. That's 18 years.

OHYA: At the age of elementary school; because of Japanese pop music.

OHYA: 25 years in some bands.

RADI: In 1986, a movie called "Breakin'" was passed examination entered China. After I see it, have begun to be interested in a western youth culture. Then in 1987, my older brother took a copy video of Michael Jackson's "BAD" that it was dubbed too much, and a picture already turned worse home, after I watched that, I would thoroughly not hear any Chinese music.In 1992, Chinese the first Rock band been debuted (was a heavy metal band). I thought, Oh! Our guys can like foreigner do band!! Well, I bought a guitar, started try be a rock star.

Hannah Hypnotic

Isaac: Who would you say are your biggest musical influences and why?

Hannah Hypnotic: Hoo, that's a hard one. Blondie, David Bowie, Led Zepplin, Gwen Stefani, Queen, Poe, The Misfits, Anna Tsuchiya, Cicada, The Love Grenades (Downtown LA homage!), Capsule, Tiesto, and Mika Nakashima. I think it's pretty clear that most of these artists are rock artists. I've been in love with rock for most of my life. I've always listened to it in some form or another. But the electro/trance/house artists are fairly recent. I suppose that's why I agreed (kicking and screaming) to let Radi and Ohya take 19 Mirrors in the direction of electro-rock instead of classic rock. I like the electronic artists. I also like rock. Merging the two makes sense.

OHYA: The guy whom I think to be cool in real time. There is not such a person now.

RADI: I think is RAMONES (even now I not listening them anymore).Until latter half of 90's, RAMONES was not known in China. In about 96, a friend bought Saw Gash* tape of RAMONES, I knew them for the first time. RAMONES is oldschool, but for me, was felt very new. They are simplicity, unskillfulness, but very pop and fast, and music very straight. Anyway, I can be happy like a fool if I hear them. Let me realized music again with RAMONES…

*Saw Gash : www.metafilter.com/66075/Dakou-Saw-Gash-CDs

Isaac: What has been the greatest highpoint in your career so far?

Hannah Hypnotic: Being privileged enough to travel to Beijing and do a mini-tour with a fabulous band, New Pants. They are Chinese new wave punk, and they are amazing. I got to eat duck tongue for the first time, too. That was the best thing I have ever eaten in my life.

OHYA: A composition royalty income.

RADI: I think is when I did punk in Beijing. In that age, China also had some rock band, but almost are heavy metal or grunge. Everybody only interested do things like that "dark". We at 1996, made a punk booms that were more positive scene. That was very interesting for me.

Radi

Isaac: What has been the greatest disappointment in your career so far? What did you learn from that experience?

Hannah Hypnotic: Ohoho. Meeting and being suckered in by one Dave Graham, a 'music manager' from New Zealand who took my money, was late to every meeting by at least an hour or two, promised me the world, then vanished. I learned to be less trusting, and that if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is. New artists beware!

OHYA: Fruitless searches for members; the times when there was not the Internet.

RADI: I think that there is not disappointment in my career. It is must succeeded even if I do anything even it looked like disappointment. Even sometime looking like disappointment, but if peoples can enjoy my music just a little, that is succeed. Maybe the top of disappointment is that not give people hear own music.

Isaac: What draws you to want to play the type of music that you do?

Hannah Hypnotic: I want to have fun onstage too. That's basically it. Many artists think only about what their audience will find amusing, and that's good; but I think that if you aren't having fun onstage, the audience won't be happy. So I strive to make and play music that makes me want to have a good time. Electro-rock accomplishes that nicely.

OHYA: When I listen to cool music.

RADI: I entered the techno scene at end of 90's little by little, after punk. From about after 2000, I became only hear techno completely. I felt a lot new music possible from techno music. But felt techno some not good side too. Then I start remember old punk and rock. I think somehow, can let those 2style unite together. So, it is now this style. I think also now this style is experiment too.

Isaac: What do you feel it takes to play this type of music that you play?

Gisappe

Hannah Hypnotic: First, a keen sense of observation. And then, a creative mindset; ultimately a strangely dark, positive one. You have to be able to roll with the punches and deal with peoples' egos without flying into a million pieces and having a breakdown. That doesn't sound like it makes sense, but it does. There are plenty of rather dark, sadistic people out there who are perfectly chipper and content. I'm one of them, and 19 Mirrors benefits greatly from it.

OHYA: An image of the awakening.

RADI: While people can feel 19 Mirrors is like oldschool, but can feel new, fresh, and very stylish.

Isaac: What do you think you will create that will make your performances and who you are stand out in the music industry?

Hannah Hypnotic: I think we will create a hybrid of the really delighted feeling some people get when they listen to electro/trance/house, and the thrill some people get when they listen to rock. It's all about a feeling, and narrowing your eyes with a wicked smile on your face when you 'get' it. Our first full-length album should be out within this year, and I believe upon listening to it, many people will be making that face.

OHYA: Strong concentration is necessary.

RADI: I think 19Mirrors is a band doing authentic healthy music.

Isaac: If you had the opportunity to do one cover, what cover would you do and why? How would you put your own spin on this cover?

Hannah Hypnotic: Well, we only have one cover, and it's 'Fiend Club' by The Misfits, which is my all-time favorite band. That deep voice, those ridiculously amusing lyrics...but hypothetically? Hmmm...I suppose I would do an electro-rock version of 'Gimmie Danger' by Iggy Pop. I love how sexy that song is, and synthed up a bit? Yum.

OHYA: I put a guitar in the techno music that does not have a guitar. I think that it is cool.

RADI: We also did some covers. We did Misfits - Fiend Club and New Pants - Out Mode. Both song original was analog music. We made those have more big digital sound, played those with very different styles. In the future, I think we will try more songs at same way. Want see how some old rock music will change with 19 Mirrors style.

Isaac: What does it take to be a good songwriter?

Hannah Hypnotic: Innate talent is necessary above all. Radi gives me a track, and I listen to it and write the lyrics and melody within 10 minutes. It just comes.

OHYA: Feeling being deep.

RADI: Pop and fashion stylish is 2 big points of that. As in that communism China, some punk dudes borned, I think music is not only for music fans who also understand a part of music, music is more for all peoples of world. Because that, I think pop is very important. And, if only do scream my soul from heart that is not sense. If want have more fun, create style is very important too.

Isaac: How difficult is it to juggle music, family and work obligation, and life in general? Explain.

Hannah Hypnotic: The 'strangely dark, positive personality' really comes into play there. I constantly have to push the others and juggle their jobs, because I'm the kind of person who wants to do everything right now and I don't like people having lives when we need to be working on the band. I really have to learn to shut it sometimes, but anyway...it's always difficult, but I am one of those uncanny folk who finds the time for it.

OHYA: I think that the idea about using the Internet still applies; not so hard.

Ohya

RADI: Family, work obligation, and general life are very important and helpful for music. And, our music is made for them too. Both are not incompatible things.

Isaac: What is your definition of being an Indie artist/band?

Hannah Hypnotic: Making more truthful and amusing music than you would make with a major label, but of a lower quality and with no funds to do anything about it.

OHYA: Make time for music.

RADI: Do band, is kind of dream for pursuing. And then is called expression, a kind of communication with society.

Isaac: Where can fans access your music online?

Hannah Hypnotic: Glad you asked! www.myspace.com/19mirrors, www.reverbnation.com/19mirrors, and www.cafepress.com/19mirrors for merchandise. Check out the sweet design Radi made; he's a whiz!

Isaac: In five years…….

Hannah Hypnotic: In five years, I will be making out with the Japanese star of my dreams and riding a unicorn made out of 19 Mirrors platinum albums.

OHYA: With good vibration.

RADI: If earth not been Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) state, maybe I want marry. haha

Celebrate freedom on Independence Day

By Greg Miller

Grover loved America with all his heart.

“Thank you, Lord, for allowing me to live in the U.S.A.,” said Grover, who worked as a truck driver.

Grover’s wife, Ginnie, also was very thankful for living in America. “This is the best country in the world,” she told Grover.

Ginnie was enjoying her summer break from her teaching job. Grover and Ginnie planned an Independence Day celebration at their home and invited several friends to share the occasion with them.

Two of Grover’s co-workers, Garth and Genevieve, responded to the invitation with a resounding, “We wouldn’t miss it for the world!”

Georgia, Ginnie’s best friend at work, was also quick to respond affirmatively to the invitation. “I can’t wait for this celebration,” Georgia e-mailed Ginnie. Would you like for me to bring anything?”

Ginnie replied, “If you like, you can bring a CD of your favorite Christian singer.”

The big day arrived and, after talking for a little while, everyone gathered in the kitchen for lunch.

“The hamburgers were super,” said Georgia.

“And the hotdogs were the best I’ve ever tasted,” said Genevieve. “The fresh garlic slices were the perfect added touch.”

“My favorite part of the meal was that scrumptious homemade potato salad,” grinned Garth. “I never would have thought about adding fresh beets, green beans and whole-grain bread crumbs. Nice touch!”

“Thanks for the compliments,” said Ginnie. “Now I think it’s about time for us to listen to some good Christian patriotic music.”

Ginnie, Grover and their guests walked to the den, and Ginnie inserted Georgia’s CD into the CD player. The vibrant female voice filled the room with sounds of faith in God, freedom in America and the fact that Jesus is the giver of true freedom.

After the final song was played, feelings of patriotism and faith were running high. “I’ve always been proud of America, and our time here today has re-enforced those feelings,” said Garth. “And I thank God more than ever for giving us spiritual freedom in the Lord Jesus Christ and for giving us the freedom to worship Him here in America.

“Those songs have helped me to realize more fully the need for Jesus Christ to offer himself as a sacrifice for our sin,” said Genevieve. “And we should always remember the sacrifices of those in America’s Armed Forces who fought and died to keep our country free.”

“Oh, I have one question for you, Georgia,” said Ginnie. “I asked you to bring a CD of music by your favorite Christian singer, but the singer on the CD sounded a lot like you.”

“Well, Ginnie, it was me,” laughed Georgia. “I am my favorite singer. My mom and dad say I can sing better than anyone they know. And my parents are the best judges of music that I know!”

JC Style Spotlight:
Princess in Wonderland



	Princess in Wonderland

MySpace has some of the coolest peeps on the Internet. You can find just about all types of different personalities on that social site. When we came looking for someone who we felt was the poster child of today's fashion and style, we didn't have to look far with this MySpacer.

When it comes to Style and Fashion, this next person is the princess of it. It just happens to be her handle on Myspace: Princess in Wonderland. We spoke with the young lady who was more than willing to share her love of fashion and style with our readers. I hope you enjoy this very fun interview/spotlight.

Isaac: How would you describe your philosophy about fashion and style?

Princess in Wonderland: Fashion I think is trends-based; it changes every time new or updated trends come out to play. But style is forever. It influences people's fashion choices and is based in aesthetics. Style doesn't disappear just because Kate Moss was photographed going to the grocery store wearing a new hat.

Isaac: What do you think are the hottest trends out there now currently?

Princess in Wonderland: I'm loving the whole bohemian look at the moment, all the soft fabrics and florals and brown and cream. It's so feminine and beautiful.

Isaac: What's one item of clothing every woman should own?

Princess in Wonderland: A great pair of jeans should be in EVERY woman's wardrobe. They are the most versatile thing you could ever buy. They work with everything.

Isaac: What female fashion mishap s makes you cringe the most?

Princess in Wonderland: Dressing for someone else's body. I can't tell you how sad it is to see big women dress like skinny ones, old women dressing like their granddaughters, and little girls dressed like prostitutes.

Isaac: What do you think is the perfect outfit for a male?

Princess in Wonderland: All men look good in tuxedos.(laughs)

Isaac: How do you decide on what to wear for the next day?

Princess in Wonderland: My best friend and I pick out clothes in the morning by texting! And I usually tear my whole closet apart trying things on and playing with clothes which would explain why I'm always late!

Isaac: Where is your favorite place to shop for fashion finds? And why?

Princess in Wonderland: Copenhagen (Denmark) and Stockholm (Sweden). They are amazing for variety in high fashion and street wear.

Isaac: In your opinion, what was America's greatest fashion moment or contribution to fashion?

Princess in Wonderland: I love the classic All-American look of jeans, T-shirts and Converse sneakers. America is such a diverse nation, with so much beauty to offer the fashion world. I love Audrey Kitching, Nicole Richie, and of course, Marilyn Monroe. A lot of my style icons hail from America.

Isaac: If you had one day to shop anywhere in the USA, where would you go and why?

Princess in Wonderland: I have always wanted to go to California, so L.A would be at the top of my list, and then New York would be great, I'd love to go to Trash And Vaudeville, and naturally, shop in the boutiques...There are so many great indie fashion designers in America that Australian stores don't stock; I think I'd need a whole week to shop!

Caboose knows his train job

By Greg Miller

Christian Locomotive was the leader of a train which included himself, Christian Boxcar and Christian Caboose.

Locomotive, who had a very outgoing personality, was very glad that Boxcar and Caboose had elected him to be the train’s illustrious leader, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity because he truly wanted to serve the community and the country.

“The view is great from this vantage point,” smiled Locomotive. “But the most important thing about being given this position is that I bring glory to God and serve others.

“You always wanted to be a leader, Locomotive, so when I asked for my two weeks vacation, I asked if I could switch places with you in exchange for a free tour of the country,” said Boxcar. “And I must say I have forgotten how beautiful the view was from this part of the train.

“The trees have a more normal look to them, the view of the rivers is much better, and I don’t make nearly as much noise as I did when I was Locomotive. And I can take advantage of this opportunity to renew my friendship with Caboose. We were best friends when we started working for the railroad about 20 years ago, but when I was the Number One Boxcar behind Locomotive I didn’t get to talk with him very much, because I was too close to the front of the train.”

“It sure is great catching up on all old times,” said Caboose. “I had forgotten about how much fun it was collaborating with you on writing songs about the railroad. I wrote the words, and you composed the music…We even competed with other trains around the nation and won first place in a songwriting contest…Yes, those were the good old days.”

Locomotive was curious about the aspect of being Locomotive that Boxcar missed the most. “I miss being a leader,” replied Boxcar. “You know, people looking up to me and respecting me, kids beaming with pride when I first came into view, feeling the surge of power when I was given more fuel.”

“I think you have the meaning of leadership all wrong,” said Locomotive. “Leadership isn’t about the feelings you get when people look at you, the self-esteem that you may experience, or the surge you experience from extra fuel.

“It’s about serving the people who are riding the train, making sure that they reach their destination comfortably and safely, and taking care of their needs while they are in our care. You agree, don’t you, Caboose?”

Caboose had taken a little catnap while Locomotive and Boxcar were talking, and he awoke just in time to hear Locomotive’s question. “You’re right, of course,” said Caboose. “But for me, it’s like vacation all the time, because some people say I’m just along for the ride!”

Bible memorization contest
draws unenthusiastic response

By Greg Miller

Pastor Wanna Noe Bible felt his church needed a deeper knowledge of God’s Word, so he decided to implement a month-long contest to test the congregation’s desire to memorize Bible verses.

Pastor Bible promoted the contest for about one month. He announced the project on the church‘s Web site, purchased newspaper advertising, and ran announcements in the church’s weekly bulletin.

Although response from the pre-contest publicity was dismal, Pastor Bible was not upset. “I realize people deal with many things on a day-to-day basic,” he told his wife, Mrs. Bible. “And I’m sure the folks realize the importance of knowing God’s Word.”

Members of the congregation were asked to approach the pastor and volunteer for the project. Two weeks into the project, however, no one had contacted him, so the pastor decided to again appeal for participation.

“This will give you an opportunity to memorize the Word of God, and you’ll be a much more effective witness for the Lord,” he said.

The following Sunday, the pastor called for a special meeting to be held in the church’s fellowship hall after the morning worship service. He asked why no one in the congregation had responded to the call for Scripture memorization.

“I’ve been so busy at work,” said Bonnie. “I’ve had to work overtime every single day for the past month.”

“My time has been spent planning our family vacation,” said Buster. “I’m trying to make sure we get the best prices on motel rooms and restaurant discounts. Plus, I’ve checked the price of gasoline every day on the Internet. And I’ve also been working very hard on my job.”

“I’m in the process of starting a new business, and I’m trying to make sure I have all the proper licenses, select a good location and stock my new store with a great variety of merchandise,” said Bowman.

Pastor Wanna Noe Bible was discouraged by the reasons given by the members for not memorizing Bible verses. “I wish they would realize the importance of hiding God’s Word away in their hearts,” he thought.

To the members of the church, the pastor said, “We still have one more week in the contest. I urge you to learn as many Bible verses as you can in the next seven days.”

The last Sunday in the contest arrived, and the pastor planned to announce that no Bible verses had been memorized. As he stood to make the announcement, Barbara raised her hand to get the pastor’s attention.

“I memorized one verse,” Barbara said.

“What verse did you memorize?,” asked the pastor.

“John 11:35,” replied Barbara. “The reason it took me so long to memorize the verse was because it was so short that I almost didn’t find it!”

Second-grader listens closely
to story of David and Goliath

By Greg Miller

Duncan, a second-grader, asked Mrs. Daniels, his Sunday school teacher, to once again share the story of David and Goliath.

Duncan never grew tired of the stories of Moses, Joshua, King Saul and David, and all his other Old Testament heroes. “They’re not just stories,” he said. “These characters are among the most important people who actually lived, and we need to learn the lessons that their lives teach us.”

Mrs. Daniels began the story… “David’s brothers were in the army, and he went to check on them and take some food to them.

“When David left home, he had no idea he would be engaged in the battle of his life. He was a shepherd and had killed a lion and a bear that had attacked the sheep, but he had never faced a foe like Goliath. When the time came to battle this enemy of the people of God, David took his sling and selected five smooth stones from the brook and put them in a shepherd’s bag.”

Mrs. Daniels told Duncan and the other children, “The Bible tells us that Goliath taunted David because he was ‘but a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.’

“According to the Word of God,” Mrs. Daniels continued, “Goliath cursed David by his gods and told him, ‘Come to me, and I will give thy flesh unto the fowls of the air, and to the beasts of the field.’

“Then David told Goliath, ‘Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.’”

Mrs. Daniels continued with the story. “David told Goliath, ‘This day will the LORD deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.’”

Mrs. Daniels wanted to see how closely Duncan and the other children were listening to the story. She said, “Later, David told his brothers, ‘I threw the rock with my sling, but the Lord directed my aim. And when the Sovereign Lord takes aim at a target, he never misses. He never even has to take target practice!’”

“Did David really say that?,” inquired Duncan. “I’ve heard the story before, and I don’t remember that part of it.”

“No, I don’t think he actually made that statement,” said Mrs. Daniels. “But he could have…and he would have been telling the truth!”

Make use of your trunk
before buying a suitcase

By Greg Miller

Macie, an elephant who lived in the largest city on a planet where all the residents were pachyderms, was planning a summer vacation.

Macie and her best friend, Maggie, went to numerous yard sales each week, so Macie decided to look for a new set of luggage in which to pack her vacation supplies: Sunscreen designed especially for tough skin, large bags of peanuts and a new pair of elephant boots. The boots were necessary because she needed to protect her feet from the hard, sharp rocks that covered the ground.

The month of May 2010 had almost finished its predestined trail through time, and Macie still needed her new luggage. Macie and Maggie arose early Saturday morning and headed for the yard sale sponsored by The Pachyderm Community Organization of the Planet. Since they were neighbors, Maggie offered to prepare breakfast so they would have plenty of energy for shopping.

As their destination came into view, Maggie observed that a couple of lady elephants were selling roasted peanuts. “Let’s get several large orders of these delicious peanuts,” said Maggie. “It will be my treat, and it will help the organization raise a little more money for its various projects.”

“I know we ate breakfast at Maggie’s Kitchen before we came here, but I’m always up for a generous helping of roasted peanuts, especially if they come from this great organization,” Macie said.

Macie and Maggie entered the building, purchased their peanuts, made themselves comfortable on the gigantic floor and began consuming their salty treats. The elephants ate so many peanuts that they closed their eyes, and soon they were fast asleep. About 15 minute later, Macie and Maggie awoke and, refreshed by their short nap, began shopping.

A large box labeled “Mystery Collectibles” caught Macie’s eye. “Our friend Mollie will enjoy putting her ‘Mystery Collectibles’ in this box,” she said.

“I don’t know if all of Mollies’ collectibles will fit in this box,” observed Maggie. “She has such a huge collection of collectibles.”

“I have a great idea!,” exclaimed Maggie. “Instead of buying this box for Mollie, why not buy it for yourself? You could use it for a suitcase when we go on vacation.”

“I don’t really think that’s such a good idea,” responded Macie. “I want to do something nice for Mollie. Besides, this box won’t make a very good suitcase.”

“Even for an elephant, you are thick-skinned,” said Maggie.

“I’m no more of a thick-skinned pachyderm than you are,” replied Macie. “For one thing, I feel good after I do something nice for another elephant. For another thing, I’ve decided I don’t need to buy a suitcase for vacation. I think the trunk I already have will hold everything I’ll need to take with me!”
