With shelter….even the most vulnerable bird can sing.
There once was an incredibly rich man who commissioned two talented artists for a project. The rich man explained that he would pay one million dollars to the artist who was able to paint the perfect picture of “peace”.
..
Several months later, both artists returned with their paintings. The first was the most beautiful image of the sun shining down on fields of glorious flowers, while in the background a rainbow stretched over a tranquil blue lake…it was indeed a “peaceful” picture. The rich man commended the artist for his work and then turned his attention to the second painting.

A blind man walks into a restaurant and sits down. The waiter, who is also the owner, walks up to the blind man and hands him a menu.
“I’m sorry sir, but I am blind, and can’t read the menu. Just bring me a dirty fork from a previous customer, I’ll smell it and order from there.”
A little confused, the owner walks over to the dirty dish pile and picks up a greasy fork. He returns to the blind man’s table and hands it to him. The blind man puts the fork to his nose and takes in a deep breath. “Ah, yes that’s what I’ll have, meatloaf and mashed potatoes.”
Unbelievable, the owner says to himself as he walks towards the kitchen. The cook happens to be the owner’s wife and he tells her what had just happened. The blind man eats his meal and leaves. Read More

Visits 14 homes in two days

Students of the Victor Dixon High School in Mandeville rendered selfless service to the aged and indigent last week.
..
During two days of community service, the students visited several homes for the aged and the Manchester Infirmary.
..
For 17-year-old Tanya Scott, a grade-11 student of the Adventist-owned institution, “the experience was motivating”.
..
“I’m very happy I got the opportunity to help those elderly persons,” said Tanya. “As an individual, I felt motivated. It is good to see the smile on their faces when a young person comes and talk to them and listens to their story. It is something I would love to do again and again.”

PONDER THESE THINGS
A Spirituality that Kills
Dr. Ed Young
Winning Walk
Oprah’s mantra “find your own spirit” has become the rally cry of many Americans. The media, our friends, family-and unfortunately, even some pulpits-challenge us to “find our inner strength.”
These words might seem harmless to you, even encouraging and uplifting, but the truth is that these messages have their roots in the New Age Movement…a movement that is a very real danger to you and your family.
It starts by not being able to recognize Satan’s deceptive strategy.
Perhaps you envision him wearing a red cape and carrying a pitchfork…someone who really doesn’t affect your life. If so, he has you thinking exactly what he wants you to think! The devil is deceptive and charming-a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And one of his greatest disguises is in the New Age Movement. Yet, many don’t even realize it!
Do you recognize Satan’s influence in your life? Are you drawn to television shows such as the WB’s Charmed, which depicts the lives of three sisters who happen to be spell-casting witches? Or do your children watch Disney’s That’s So Raven in which the teen heroine has visions?
The popularity of the New Age Movement expressed in a cloak of spirituality is greater than ever…and it means you and I need to arm ourselves with God’s truth. We need to be able to recognize false spirituality-and teach our children about these dangers.
For instance, what comes to mind when you think of New Age? Do you think of palm
