Man Can't, God Can
March 27, 2006This is the latest devotion from a Christian Motorcycle organization that I belong to. Some of us have been trying to deal with things on our own. Maybe, if we could remember this from scripture, it will help us turn it all over to God. I hope so anyway. Without Him, we are nothing.When
he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and worshiped Him. (Mark 5:6)
This setting of scripture describes the account of a man called Legion, which
is recorded in Mark 5:1-20. You may want to read the entire setting of scripture.
Here we see the story of a man that could not help himself, nor could the
wisdom and best intentions of the leaders (doctors, lawyers, priests, etc.)
in his hometown. When the leaders had done all that they could, they released
him and left him in hopelessness to dwell in the tombs of the dead. Many people
today are living among the dead with no hope. With man, there is no hope;
with God, there is always hope and deliverance.
As the story unfolds, we see Legion running to Jesus and falling down to worship
Him. Then the bondage of the world, both physical and spiritual, took control
of him, and he could not do what he desired to do. Jesus broke the bondage
and set Legion free as we see Legion in verse 15 clothed and in his right
mind.
You may be at your wits end in circumstances and situations. You may feel
as if you cannot go on. You may feel that your situation is hopeless. The
doctors may have given you a bad report. May I remind you that there is hope
in Jesus! I challenge you to do as Legion did: fall down, give the circumstances
and the situations to Him, and ask Him to do the impossible. In Him there
is hope.
Remember that where our possibility ends, it is just the beginning of the
possibilities in Christ. Put your confidence in Him, and you will be more
than an overcomer.
Quick Remark:
Stuff to think about (When you're bored)
March 22, 2006Here are a few things to think about that you probably have
never
thought about;
Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered
assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to "put your two cents in".. . but it's only a
"penny for your thoughts"? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were
buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would
be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they "slept like a baby" when babies wake
up
like every two hours?
If a deaf person has to go to court, is it still called a hearing?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in
binoculars to look at things on the ground?
Why do toasters always have a setting that burns the toast to a
horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?
If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a stupid song
about him?
Can a hearse carrying a corpse drive in the carpool lane?
If the professor on Gilligan's
a radio out of a
coconut, why can't he fix a hole in a boat?
Why does Goofy stand correct while Pluto remains on all fours?
They're both dogs!
If Wiley E. Coyote had enough money to buy all that ACME stuff, why didn't he just
buy dinner?
If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from
vegetables, what is baby oil made from?
If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?
Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at
you, but when you take him for a car ride; he sticks his head out the
window?
Do you ever wonder why you read this blog in the first place?

Stories of the Non-Technical (from comedy central)
I called a company and asked to speak to Bob. The
person who answered said, "Bob is on vacation. Would you like to
hold?"
I worked with an individual who plugged their power strip back into itself
and for the life of them could not understand why their computer would not turn
on.
"Do you know anything about this fax-machine?"
"A little. What's wrong?"
"Well, I sent a fax, and the recipient called back to say all she
received was a cover-sheet and a blank page. I tried it again, and the same
thing happened."
"How did you load the sheet?"
"It's a pretty sensitive memo, and I didn't want anyone else to read it
by accident. So I folded it so only the recipient could open it and read
it."
I recently saw a distraught young lady weeping beside her car. "Do you
need some help?" I asked.
"I knew I should have replaced the battery in this remote control door
unlocker. Now I can't get into my car. Do you think that store would have a
battery for this?"
"Hmmm, I dunno. Do you have an alarm, too?" I asked.
"No, just this remote," she answered, handing it and the car keys
to me.
you drive over there and check about the batteries? It's a long walk."
