The Bible gives timeless advice and direction on how to live a godly life
..
My granddaughter has a Nintendo DS. My grandson had a PlayStation, but he broke the screen. Now he wants to play with her Nintendo DS all the time. I have warned both of them against this. They don’t share well. If something happens to her Nintendo DS, she’s going to be upset and he’s going to have to pay for it. Despite my warnings, she continues to let him play with it.
..
This morning she was looking for her Nintendo, and discovered that her brother had taken it to school which, of course, is not allowed by me or the school. So, the tears started falling because now she’s afraid it’s going to get taken away.
..
I warned them that no good would come of this, but they didn’t listen. Now, he’s broken two rules—mine and the school’s—and she is in tears.
..
Isn’t this scenario similar to our Christian walk? The Bible provides us with a roadmap to life. The Book of Psalms and Proverbs, in particular, are filled with timeless warnings, instruction and guidelines for living fruitful, fulfilling and godly lives. But we don’t listen, or we bend the rules to make them more accommodating. Then, when we don’t heed the instructions or warnings in the Bible, we cry foul and wonder what went wrong.

After a morning of my granddaughter’s tears and turmoil, I found myself searching Scripture to get me back to my place of peace, and I found what I needed. Psalm 85:8 reads, “I will listen to what God the Lord will say; He promises peace to His Read More

….recovers the wedding ring of a couple married 68 years
PORT RICHEY
The grass around the bus stop bench was thick and overgrown, the long blades scratching Mary Marzec’s legs. So with one brisk motion, the 88-year-old woman swatted the grass away from her knees — and accidentally flung her wedding ring into the field along Embassy Boulevard. The diamond-studded gold ring, which Mrs. Marzec had worn for nearly 60 years, had loosened as her fingers shrank with age. Now she was on her knees, patting the earth, praying to find her ring. She went into a nearby Chevron station and borrowed a pair of scissors. Then she got back on her knees and chopped away at the grass, crying, hoping. But she couldn’t find it.
“My husband said, ‘Come on, let’s go home. I’ll buy you another one,’ ” Mrs. Marzec recalled. “I said, ‘I’m not going until I find my ring!’ “

Mary and Ed Marzec led parallel lives for years before they’d met.

My name is Tammy. This is my life. I will get saved when “I’ve Got Time”. I was born Jan. 1, 1964.
As I grew up, the Lord kept His hands on me. He healed my polio. Now I walk like you. “Thank you Jesus.”
He showed me right from wrong. I think I’ll get saved when I turn 30.
“I’ve Got Time!”
I got on drugs, He brought me through. “Thank you, Jesus!”
I got pregnant, and cried to the Lord. He gave me a husband. I said to myself, “When I turn 30, I’ll get saved, I’ve Got Time!”

‘I’ll just give this a lick and a promise,’ my mother said as she quickly mopped up a spill on the floor without moving any of the furniture.
..
‘What is that supposed to mean?’ I asked as in my young mind I envisioned someone licking the floor with his or her tongue.
..
‘It means that I’m in a hurry and I’m busy canning tomatoes so I am going to just give it a lick with the mop and promise to come back and do the job right later.

‘A lick and a promise’ was just one of the many old phrases that our
