“The man who has lost contact with God lives on the same dead-end street as the man who denies him.” - Milton Marcy
A father wanted to read a magazine but was being pestered by his daughter. To keep her busy, he tore a sheet out of the magazine that had a picture of the world printed on it.
He tore the picture into small pieces and said, “Go into the other room and see if you can put this picture of the world back together again.
A few minutes later, the daughter appeared in the room and handed him the picture all correctly fitted together. The father was surprised and asked her how she was able to fit all the little pieces of the world together again so quickly.
“Oh,” she said, “on the other side of the paper was a picture of Jesus. Once I got Jesus in the right place, the world came out all right.”

Prayer and Purpose
Life without purpose is barren indeed – There can’t be a harvest unless you plant a seed, There can’t be attainment Unless there’s a goal, And man’s but a robot Unless there’s a soul… If we send no ship’s out, No ships will come in, And unless there’s a contest, Nobody can win… For games can’t be won Unless they are played, And prayers can’t be answered Unless they are prayed… So whatever is wrong With your life today, You’ll find a solution If you kneel down and pray Not just for pleasure, Enjoyment and health, Not just for honors And prestige and wealth… But pray for a purpose To make life worth living, And pray for the joy Of unselfish giving, For great is your gladness And rich your reward When you make your life’s purpose The Will of the Lord. - Helen Steiner Rice
