Christian Thought of the Day
Matt 24:39-42
so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.

42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
KJV

Corinthians 13:13
1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

I think this says it all.

I thought it was "Love", not "Charity"?

Depends on the translation.
Right now America spends $700 billion every year on foreign oil. That's our money going overseas when it could be staying here. We have to stop this. That's why I support the Pickens Plan. Check out the website at www.pickensplan.com. If you like what you see, please join me as a Pickens Plan supporter.

It's nothing personal. It's just that we're better than you." -- King Julien

Seems like ol' Garysher should be a street preacher. He would bore a lot of people with his rambling.

I think I'll stick with the Buddhist Thoughts of the Day - they tend to be more enlightening and thought-provoking, and less "you could die any minute"-ish.
