1. Pastor thoughts:

I am really learning a lot of facts (some I didn’t know, and some I did) in our Wednesday study of the Book of

Daniel.  I looked at the US National Debt Clock and as of Wednesday the staggering amount was:  Are you ready? $12,413,125,121,320.27. The number“12” represents $12 Trillion dollars.  This is unbelievable! And if you watch the National Debt Clock, it increases constantly.

 

The estimated population of the United States is 307,899,927 so each citizen’s share of this debt is

$40,315.44.  The national debt has continued to

Increase an average of $3.87 billion per day since

September 28, 2007! You can see this at: http://www.usdebtclock.org/.  It is an eye-opener.

Of course by the time you read this it will have changed. 

 

To top this off this morning on Fox News they reported that

China has bought and owns $755,000,000,000 of our debt. Why is the United States not mentioned in end time prophecy?  Could it be that economically and militarily we won’t matter?  We are rapidly racing toward the “One World Order.”  Are you Rapture Ready?

 

2. Laugh a little

Smith goes to see his supervisor in the front office. “Boss,” he says, “we’re doing some heavy housecleaning at home tomorrow, and my wife needs me to help with the attic and the garage, moving and hauling stuff.”

“We’re short-handed, Smith,” the boss replies.  “I can’t give you the day off.”  “Thanks, boss,” says Smith.  “I knew I could count on you!”

 

Aunt Aggie was distressed when she lost her handbag in a shopping center recently.  An honest young man had found it and returned it to her.  “Funny,” Aggie commented. “When I misplaced the bag there was a ten-dollar bill in it.  Now I find ten one-dollar bills.”  “That’s right lady,” explained the honest young man.  “The last time I found a lady’s purse, she didn’t have any change for a reward.”

 

Eight-year-old Molly brought her report card home from school.  Her marks were good, but her teacher had written across the bottom: “Molly is a smart little girl, but she has one fault. She talks too much in school.  I have an idea I am going to try, which I think may break her of the habit.”  Molly’s dad signed her report card, putting a note on the back: “Please let me know if your idea works on Molly. If it does work, I would like to try it out on her mother.”

The race is not
always to the swift,
but to those who
