“Love your neighbor as yourself” is not a command to love yourself. It is a command to take your natural, already existing love of self and make it the measuring rod of your love for others. There is not a harder command in the Bible than this one. It means: Want to feed the hungry as much as you want to feed yourself when you get hungry. It means: Want to find your neighbor a job as much as you are glad you have a job. Want to help your fellow student get A's as much as you want to get A's. Want to help the person stalled on the freeway as much as you are glad you are not stalled on the freeway. Want to give the poor softball player a chance to play as much as you want to play the whole game. Want to share Christ with your neighbor as much as you are glad you know Christ yourself.
John Piper

BUMPER SNICKERS.......

Some people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them

I used to have a handle on life, but it broke.

I(nternal) R(evenue) S(ervice): We've got what it takes to take what
you've got.

Out of my mind...Back in five minutes.

As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools.

Hang up and drive.

I took an IQ test and the results were negative.

Where there's a will...I want to be in it.

It's lonely at the top, but you eat better.

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?

Always remember you're unique... Just like everyone else.

Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

EARTH FIRST! We'll stripmine the other planets later.

My wife keeps complaining I never listen to her...or something like
that.

Sure you can trust the government! Just ask an Indian!

Stop repeat offenders. Don't re-elect them!
