The Puritans declared the sanctity of all honorable work. In so doing, they rejected a centuries-old division of callings into “sacred” and “secular”… This Puritan rejection of the dichotomy between sacred and secular work has far-reaching implications. It judges every honorable job to be of intrinsic value, and integrates every vocation with a Christian’s spiritual life. It makes every job consequential by regarding it as the arena for glorifying and obeying God and for expressing love (through service) to a neighbor.

"WWJD"
 
 
Most people assume WWJD is for "What would Jesus do?". But the  
initials really have been changed to stand for "What would Jesus  
drive?".  
 
One theory is that Jesus would tool around in an old Plymouth  
because the Bible says, "God drove Adam and Eve out of the  
Garden of Eden in a Fury".  
 
But in Psalm 83, the Almighty clearly owns a Pontiac and a Geo.  
The passage urges the Jesus to "pursue your enemies with your  
Tempest and terrify them with your Storm".  
 
Perhaps God favors Dodge pickup trucks, because Moses' followers  
are warned not to go up a mountain "until the Ram's horn sounds  
a long blast".  
 
Some scholars insist that Jesus drove a Honda but didn't like to  
talk about it. As proof, they cite a verse in St. John's gospel  
where Christ tells the crowd, "For I did not speak of my own  
Accord..."  
 
Meanwhile, Moses rode an old British motorcycle, as evidenced  
by a Bible passage declaring that "the roar of Moses' Triumph  
is heard in the hills".  
 
Joshua drove a Triumph sports car with a hole in its muffler:  
"Joshua's Triumph was heard throughout the land".  And,  
following Jesus' lead, the Apostles car pooled in a Honda...  
"The Apostles were in one Accord."
 
 
"The Lord & My Computer"
 
 
Dear Lord,
 
Every evening
As I'm lying here in bed
This tiny little prayer
Keeps running through my head
 
God bless my mom and dad
And bless my little pup
And look out for my sister
When things aren't looking up
 
And God, there's one more thing
I wish that you could do
Hope you don't mind me asking
But please bless my computer too?
 
Now I know that's not normal
To bless a mother board
But just listen a second
While I explain to you 'My Lord'
 
You see, that little metal box
Holds more to me than odds & ends
Inside those small compartments
Rest all of my 'BEST FRIENDS'
 
I know for sure they like me
By the kindness that they give
And this little scrap of metal
Is how I travel to where they live
 
By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you
I share in what life brings them
From that our friendship grew
 
Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above
To bless this scrap of metal
That's filled with so much love!
 

"Computer Users"
 
 
Computer users are divided into three types:
Novice, Intermediate and Expert.
 
Novice Users - People who are afraid that simply pressing a key might break their computer.
 
Intermediate Users - People who don't know how to fix their computer after they've just pressed a key that broke it.
 
Expert Users - People who press the keys that break other people's computers.
 
"My Rememberer"
 
 
My forgetter's getting better,
But my rememberer is broke
To you that may seem funny
But, to me, that is no joke
 
For when I'm "here" I'm wondering
If I really should be "there"
And, when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer!
 
Oft times I walk into a room,
Say "what am I here for?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain!
A zero, is my score.
 
At times I put something away
Where it is safe, but, Gee!
The person it is safest from
Is, generally, me!
 
When shopping I may see someone,
Say! "Hi" and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, "who was that?"
 
Yes, my forgetter's getting better
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me plumb crazy
And that isn't any joke
 
 
Have a Blessed Day
Dave and Barbara
