More wisdom from Will Rogers:

ABOUT GROWING OLDER...

First ~ Eventually you will reach a point when you stop lying about your age and start bragging about it.

Second ~ The older we get, the fewer things seem worth waiting in line for.

Third ~ Some people try to turn back their odometers. Not me; I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way, and some of the roads weren't paved.

Fourth ~ When you are dissatisfied and would like to go back to youth, think of Algebra.

Fifth ~ You know you are getting old when everything either dries up or leaks.

Sixth ~ I don't know how I got over the hill without getting to the top.

Seventh ~ One of the many things no one tells you about aging is that it is such a nice change from being young.

Eighth ~ One must wait until evening to see how splendid the day has been.

Ninth ~ Being young is beautiful, but being old is comfortable.

Tenth ~ Long ago, when men cursed and beat the ground with sticks, it was called witchcraft. Today it's called golf.


And, finally ~ If you don't learn to laugh at trouble, you won't have anything to laugh at when you are old.

Thanks for your prayers for Sudan during this important time there. See below for a bit more information.

The country for this week is also one that is split along Muslim/Christian lines but remains as one country. That is Nigeria.
The Northern half is Muslim. The Southern half is Christian.

Please pray for God to move mightily across Nigeria this week; that people will get a clear understanding of who Jesus is and will open their hearts to His great love.

Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, the eighth most populous country in the world, and the most populous country in the world in which the majority of the population is black. [Wikipedia]
.
Pray for Nigeria.


All praise to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords - King Jesus
