Church Gossip: Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed
arbiter of the church’s morals, kept sticking her nose in the other members’ private lives. Church members were unappreciative of her activities but feared her enough to maintain their silence.
She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked in front of the town’s only bar one afternoon.
She commented to George and others that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.
George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just walked away. He didn’t explain, defend or deny; he said nothing.
Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of Mildred’s house… and left it there all night!
Actual Announcements from Church Bulletins
–Ladies, don’t forget the rummage sale. It’s a chance to get rid of those things not worth keeping around the house. Don’t forget your husbands.”
–The sermon this morning: “Jesus Walks on the Water.” The sermon tonight: “Searching for Jesus.”
–Next Thursday there will be tryouts for the choir. They need all the help they can get.
The Visit: A preacher visits an elderly woman from his congregation. As he sits on the couch he notices a large bowl of peanuts on the coffee table. “Mind if I have a few?” he asks.
“No, not at all!” the woman replied.
They chat for an hour and as the preacher stands to leave, he realizes that instead of eating just a few peanuts, he emptied most of the bowl. “I’m terribly sorry for eating all your peanuts, I really just meant to eat a few.”
“Oh, that’s all right,” the woman says. “Ever since I lost my teeth all I can do is suck the chocolate off them.”

The hymn At the Cross was published in 1707. It has definitely stood the test time. It was written by Isaac Watts who wrote over 600 hymns during his lifetime, including Joy to the World. The main subject of the hymn is salvation. The scripture verses – 1 Timothy 2:5-6 (KJV).
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.

How’s your memory?
A strong memory depends on the health and vitality of your brain. Whether you’re a student, a working professional, or a senior, there are many things you can do to improve your memory and mental performance.
One way to improve your memory is to give your brain a workout. You need to do brain training just like you need to do strength training. Here are 4 things to consider when choosing a brain boosting activity.
- Choose an activity that is unfamiliar and teaches you something new. Let it take you out of your comfort zone. It shouldn’t be something that you’re already good at. To strengthen the brain, you need to keep learning and developing new skills.
- The activity should be challenging and demand your full and close attention. It’s not enough that the activity was challenging at one point. It must still be something that requires mental effort. For example, learning to play a challenging new piece of music counts. Playing a difficult piece you’ve already memorized does not.
- Look for an activity that allows you to start at an easy level and work your way up as your skills improve —always pushing the envelope so you continue to stretch your capabilities. When a previously difficult level starts to feel comfortable, that means it’s time to tackle the next level of performance.
- Choose an activity that’s challenging, enjoyable, and rewarding. Rewards support the brain’s learning process. The more interested and engaged you are in the activity, the more likely you’ll continue doing it and the greater the benefits you’ll experience.
Right now is the perfect time to do something you haven’t had the time to do, like learning how to play a musical instrument, take a cooking class, learn how to crochet, play chess, learn a foreign language, or master your golf swing.
— Test your recall. Make a list — of grocery items, things to do, or anything else that comes to mind — and memorize it. An hour or so later, see how many items you can recall. Make items on the list as challenging as possible for the greatest mental stimulation.
— Do math in your head. Figure out problems without using a pencil, paper, or computer; you can make this more difficult — and athletic — by walking at the same time.
Any of these activities may help you improve your memory, as long as they keep you challenged and engaged. Let’s get started!
The information that I have shared with you is intended for informational purposes only. It doesn’t replace your doctor’s orders.
If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, get to know Him even better.
If you do not know Him, accepting Him as your Savior will be one of the wisest decisions you will ever make. He’ll give you strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow. He’ll be faithful. You may change on Him, but He’ll never change on you!
Bye for now. Feel free to share any tips or positive thoughts.
Thanks for visiting!
