"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7
**********************************

I'VE LEARNED......that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.

DID YOU KNOW THAT…………
Honey remedy for skin blemishes... Cover the blemish with a dab of honey and place a band-aid over it. Honey kills the bacteria, keeps the skin, sterile and speeds healing. Works overnight.
Listerine therapy for toenail fungus... Get rid of unsightly toenail fungus by soaking your toes in Listerine mouthwash. The powerful antiseptic leaves your toenails looking healthy again.
Easy eyeglass protection... To prevent the screws in eyeglasses from loosening, apply a small drop of Maybelline Crystal Clear nail polish to the threads of the screws before tightening them.
Coca-Cola cure for rust... Forget those expensive rust removers. Just saturate an abrasive sponge with Coca Cola and scrub the rust stain. The phosphoric acid in the coke is what gets the job done.

INTERESTING LOGIC
At a small college, a professor who prided himself on being able to "de-bunk" many stories from the Bible was conducting class. One day, he was asking questions of a group students about the nature of evil; a young man raised his hand when the professor asked if anyone was a Christian. The professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?" "Yes, he did, sir," the young man replied. The professor responded, "If God made everything, then God made evil; and if we can only create from within ourselves, then God is evil."
The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.
Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something, sir?"
"Yes, you may," responded the professor.
The young man stood up and said, "Sir, is there such thing as cold?"
"Of course there is; what kind of a question is that? Haven't you ever been cold?"
The young man replied,"Actually, sir, cold does not exist. What we consider to be cold is really only the absence of heat. Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat; but cold does not really exist. We have only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there."
The young man continued, "Sir, is there such thing as dark?"
Once again, the professor responded "Of course there is."
And once again, the student replied "Actually, sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term man developed to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing as evil?"
The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil."
The student replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues, like heat and light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light."
The professor had nothing to say.
