Today I would like to share some “Spiritual Food for Thought” taken from the Tar Heel Gideon. It is written by Ted Self.
1. Give God what is right, not what is left
2. “Pray” is a four letter word that you can say anywhere (except in a public school)
3. Man’s way leads to a hopeless end. God’s way leads to an endless hope.
4. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
5. He who kneels before God can stand before anyone.
6. To be almost saved is to be totally lost.
7. We’re too blessed to be depressed.
8. Don’t put a question mark where God put a period.
9. God loves everyone, but probably prefers “fruits of the spirit” over “religious nuts.”
10. God grades on the cross, not the curve.
11. Are you wrinkled with burden? Come on into church for a faith lift.
12. Prayer – don’t give God instructions – just report for duty.
13. God doesn’t want shares of your life, He wants controlling interest.
14. Don’t wait for six strong men to take you to church.
15. A family altar can alter a family.
16. We don’t change the message, the message changes us.
17. This Church is “Prayer Conditioned.”
18. When God ordains, He sustains.
19. WARNING: Exposure to the Son may prevent burning.
20. Most people want to serve God – but only in an advisory capacity.
21. Having truth decay? Brush up on your Bible.
22. Exercise daily – walk with the Lord.
23. Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
24. Wisdom has two parts: A) Having a lot to say. B) Not saying it.
25. Never give the devil a ride. He will always want to drive.
26. Watch your step carefully. Everyone else does.
27. A clean conscience makes a soft pillow.
28. Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it.
29. You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.
30. He who is good at making excuses is seldom good for anything else.
31. Kindness is difficult to give away because it keeps coming back.
32. He who angers you controls you!
33. Worry is the darkroom in which “negatives” are developed.
34. Give Satan an inch and he’ll be a ruler.
35. Forbidden fruit creates many jams.
36. Be ye fishers of men, you catch them, He will clean them.
37. Deciding not to choose is still making a choice.
38. God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
39. If God is your Co-pilot, swap seats!
Thought for the week: “To realize the worth of the anchor we need to feel the storm.”

10. Teach him the secret male ritual of leaving the toilet seat up and the toilet paper roll empty.
9. Have a ceremony where you give him his own remote control.
8. Lead him through an afternoon of rigorous physical training in the back yard while you sit in a lawn chair with a half-gallon of ice cream.
7. Eat until you're about to burst and then ride the Screamin' Hurler roller coaster.
6. Put cream on his face and let the cat shave him with it's tongue.
5. Walk behind him through his school halls yelling, "You da man!"
4. Send him to the local discount store to buy mom's "personal things."
3. Give him Grandma's lime green Gremlin with personalized license plates that say, "TUFFGUY."
2. Send the womenfolk shopping, then get out your secret Old Yeller video and have a good cry together.
1. Shot put catching.
