"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord; and he delights in his way." Psalm 37:23

The following article came to me via the internet and I have no idea who wrote it, but it is good and I wanted to share it with you.

"Sometimes we make such great plans, where we are going, how fast we want to get there, and the best friends we want to go with. Then the Lord sends us a DETOUR. We kick, scream, yell and screech trying to follow our plan. Then the Lord sends us a DETOUR. We have no idea what to expect, we panic, we connive and develop an alternate plan. We question His motives. Many great things the Lord wants to show you, but sometimes He has to take you off the path. He will send you on a DETOUR to meet a certain person. He will send you on a DETOUR to get a certain job. He will send you on a DETOUR to become a special person. He will send you on a DETOUR to separate you from the pack. DETOURS mean a change in direction, not denial. That unpleasant situation you are in may be a DETOUR. That horrible job that you can't stand may be a DETOUR. That city you are living in and you hate, may be a DETOUR. Failure at work or school may be a DETOUR. The good news is that when God puts you on a DETOUR, He always gets you back on the RIGHT path!" (In His way and in His time)

Funny for the week: Cowboys and...

At a small airport terminal in Texas, three strangers awaiting their shuttle flight start conversing about the recent world events. The strangers were of varying cultures. One was Native American. Another was a cowboy from Texas. The other person was a fanatical Arab Muslim. During their conversation, they began to discuss their cultural history. The Native American stated "once my people were many, now we are few." The Muslim then chimed in and arrogantly said, "Once my people were few and now we are many." The Texas cowboy looked long and hard at the Muslim, shifted the toothpick in his mouth and said with a sly grin, "that's cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet."

This weeks question: What nation does the Bible prophesy will one day advance like a storm and cover Israel like a cloud?
