"The Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I have come from God." John 16:27

Have you ever wondered why they call them, "MAN's best friend?" May I give you an inside hint as to why that saying is true? I get up, take a cold shower because all the hot water is gone, skip breakfast because there is no milk, fight the traffic to get the kids to school, arrive at work late only to find mass confusion and impossible tasks to be performed. I do four things right and one wrong and focus is put on that one wrong, and Satan jumps in and tells me "You don't measure up, you're a failure!" I drag home late, walk in the door and into my arms leaps a wiggling bundle of fur with a tail going 90 miles a hour. He licks my face and neck and thinks the whole world is just for me. He is so excited to see me that sometimes he even wets. Talk about being loved and accepted, sweat and all! No woman could ever understand that feeling! Only a man can bond with that kind of acceptance. Sometimes we transfer our inferior feelings to God. We end up disheartened, doubting God's love for us. The Bible tells us it is impossible for God to love you more than He does right now! He doesn't love you because of what you have done. He just loves you...constantly. He is crazy about you! Now that's the kind of friends I need!

Funny for the week: Breaking Up Is Hard To Do...(especially when you share the same major!)

PSYCHOLOGY: Girl accuses guy of just using her as a substitute for his Mother.

SOCIOLOGY: Each claims to have been oppressed in the relationship.

ARCHAEOLOGY: One tries to bury the past, and accuses the other of trying to dig it up.

THEATRE: "OH! Life is... ENDED... as we KNOW it!"

PHYSICS: Both resign themselves to the fact that what goes up must come down.

JOURNALISM: "Today was the end of an era. Jack, 19, and Jill, 18, called an end to their relationship of 2 weeks..."

WOMEN'S STUDIES: "HE did it!"

BUSINESS: Both decide that they're spending way too much money together, and that it's simply cheaper to be single.

HISTORY: Each party argues the breakup was caused by something the other party did in the past.

GEOGRAPHY: Both people decide to simply move far away to avoid each other. ECONOMICS: One party demands more than the other can supply.

So, why did they break up? I'm confused... Chaplain Barnes
