Tidbit 1 Don’t Quit
We have all experienced times when we wanted to give up and quit: quit the job, quit school, quit a relationship, quit a diet, quit trying to stick to a healthier lifestyle, quit hoping, quit believing. There are some who decided to quit life by committing suicide. There may have been times when you even wanted to quit God. There may be times when your victory testimony at the end of the day is that you didn’t quit!
Whenever you go through a season and you want to quit but God is not telling you to quit, read Psalm 46. You’ll see that God is ready, willing and able to help you hold on and not quit.
Click on the video below to view the oral presentation of this blog and hear my version of the poem, Don’t Quit.
Don’t Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out;
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow–
You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor’s cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out–
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit–
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

Please understand that there are times in life when we do have to quit, for whatever reason. I’m not judging you. My goal is to encourage you.
Tidbit 2 Berries
Berries – blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, cranberries, blackberries, etc., are among the healthiest foods you can eat. God planned in the beginning, that fruit should play an important part in our diet. So following that plan may add much to your health. Studies show that many berries are packed with nutrients and may be a weapon against many diseases, including cancer. Here are 5 reasons why you should add berries to your shopping cart.
Berries:
1. Pack fiber – Most of us can probably use a little more fiber in our diet.
2. The vitamin C in berries may help keep your HDL cholesterol levels high, which lowers the risk of your arteries becoming plagued by plaque.
3. May help fight inflammation – Inflammation is your body’s defense against infection or injury.
4. May help fight against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Osteoarthritis and Parkinson’s disease.
5. Can help decrease your processed sugar intake because they are naturally sweet and you shouldn’t need to add sugar to them.
A typical serving size for berries is one cup.
Get those berries in on a regular basis and enjoy adding to your health.
Tidbit 3 A Little Humor

*** The New Pastor
The young man had just graduated from Bible College and was called to pastor a church close to his home town. The new Pastor was so nervous at his first service, he could hardly speak. Before his second appearance in the pulpit, he asked his former Pastor how he could relax. The older minister said, “Next Sunday, it may help if you put a little vodka in your water glass. After a few sips, everything should go smoothly. I will be visiting your church next week to see how things go for you.”
The next Sunday the young minister put the suggestion into practice and was able to talk up a storm. He felt great! However, after the service, his former Pastor pulled him aside and offered this advice for him.
1 .Next time sip rather than gulp.
2. There are 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. We do not refer to the cross as the “Big T.”
5. The recommended grace before meals is not “Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub. Yeah God!”
6. We do not refer to Our Savior, Jesus and His disciples as “J.C. and the Boys.”
7. David slew Goliath; he did not “kick the crap out of him.”
8. Last, but not least, The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost are never referred to as “Big Daddy, Junior, and the Spook.”
The information that I have shared with you is intended for informational purposes only.
If you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, now is the time to get to know Him even better. If you don’t know Him, accepting Him as your Savior will be the wisest decision you will ever make.
Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time, don’t forget to smile and/or a laugh at least once a day!
