And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible.. The names used in the Bible are Babylon, Land of Shinar, and Mesopotamia. The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers, more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The name Iraq, means country with deep roots.

 

Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.

 

No other nation, except Israel, has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq.

 

And also... This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...

 

The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)

 

Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, wh ile some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.

 

 

"A Mayonnaise Jar and Two Cups of Coffee"

 

 

When things in your life seem almost too much
to handle, When 24 Hours in a day are not enough,
remember The mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee.

 

A professor stood before his philosophy class
and had some items in front of him.

 

When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up
a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded
to fill it with golf balls.

 

He then asked the students if the jar was full.

 

They agreed that it was.

 

The Professor then picked up a box of pebbles
and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar
lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas
between the golf balls..

 

He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

 

They agreed it was.

 

The professor next picked up a box of sand
and poured it into the jar. Of course,
the sand filled up everything else.

 

He asked once more if the jar was full.

 

The students responded with a unanimous
"yes."

 

The professor then produced two cups of coffee
from under the table and poured the entire contents
into the jar, effectively filling the empty space
between the sand.

 

The students laughed.

 

"Now" said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
"I want you to recognize that this jar represents
your life.

 

The golf balls are the important things --
your God, family, your children, your health,
your friends, and your favorite passions--
things that if everything else was lost
and only they remained, your life
would still be full.

 

The pebbles are the other things that matter
like your job, your house, and your car.

 

The sand is everything else -- the small stuff.
If you put the sand into the jar first, he continued,
there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

 

The same goes for life. If you spend all your time
and energy on the small stuff, you will never have
room for the things that are important to you.

 

Pay attention to the things that are critical
to your happiness. Play with your children.
Take time to get medical checkups.

 

Take your Partner out to dinner. Play another 18.

 

There will always be time to clean the house,
and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls
first -- the things that really matter.

 

Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.

 

One of the students raised her hand and inquired
what the coffee represented.

 

The professor smiled. "I'm glad you asked.

 

It just goes to show you that no matter how full
your life may seem, there's always room for
a couple of cups of coffee with a friend."

 

 

Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.

 

 

Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
