A UNC student was infatuated with a freshman, but was so
timid he never had the courage to speak to her. In fact, he even
told his therapist that every time he got near her he felt like he
was unimportant. He said that he felt as insignificant as a tiny pebble.

"Well," his therapist responded, "If you want to get the girl
you'll just have to be a little boulder!"

A N.C. State Trooper pulls a car with a UNC decal over on a
lonely back road and approaches the driver. "Ma'am, is there a
reason that you're weaving all over the road"?

The woman replied, "Oh officer, thank goodness you're here!!
I almost had an accident! I looked up and there was a tree right
in front of me. I swerved to the left and there was another tree
in front of me. I swerved to the right and there was another tree
in front of me!"

Reaching through the side window to the rear view mirror, the
officer replied, "Ma'am... that's your air freshener."

Islamic militancy has been trying to start an Islamic Jihad against western
countries. This started since the bombing of the American Embassy in Beirut
in 1983. Islamic fundemantalism believes that all Muslim nations must become
one. Islamic militants whether Shiite or Sunni believe that if the Muslim
world unites behind them in a war against Western civilizations they will
win and bring back the glorious days of Islam. When asked what are the
glorious days of Islam, their answer " the days of Prophet Muhammad"
Islam as a religion has offered no peace for its own people. In the last
1500 years more Muslims have died on the hands of Muslims than anyone else.
Muslims are tired of Islam and that is why we see many of them moving to the
west and seeking moderation in their Islam.

Loving someone does not mean you agree with him or her all the time. It does
not mean you accept the terrorist's methods and disregard their behavior.
Biblical love means you will offer them the best you have which is to know
and experience Jesus Christ the savior. The Love of Christ compels us to
pray for their repentance and salvation through Christ before the coming
of the great Judgment Day. Next ourresponse is to love all people regardless
of their religious background.

Not every Arab is a Muslim, and not all Muslims are Arab. There are many
Arab Christians and the church is spreading in many Muslim nations. (Fouad Masri)

"...but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water
I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." --Injeel (John 4:14)

A friend of mine and his son love to take off backpacking along a
beautiful river near their house. And they've learned some interesting
"tricks of the trade" to make sure they have clean water to drink without
the weight of having to carry water with them all the time. They take iodine
pills with them on their hikes. Now apparently, they can collect some water
from the river, dissolve iodine in it, and the water comes out clean. But
then who would want to drink it? Iodine-flavored water isn't exactly the
taste sensation that's sweeping the nation. But that's where the Kool-Aid
comes in. They mix in some Kool-Aid. It actually makes that bitter water
sweet, they tell me!

When God's people were navigating the wilderness in the Old
Testament, well, of course, Kool-Aid hadn't been invented yet. But they did
have a bitter water situation - and a miracle that changed everything. The
story is in Exodus 15, beginning with verse 22 - it's actually our word for
today from the Word of God.

Here's what it says. "For three days they traveled in the desert
without finding water. When they came to Marah, they could not drink its
water because it was bitter ... So the people grumbled against Moses,
saying, 'What are we to drink?' Then Moses cried out to the Lord, and the
Lord showed him a piece of wood He threw into the water, and the water
became sweet." Amazing. God miraculously changes what was bitter into
something sweet. You know, He's still doing that miracle today. With bitter
people. Bitter feelings. Bitter situations.

And that might be exactly what you need to be praying for right now.
Actually, "crying out to the Lord for," as Moses did. That's not just a
casual, trite little prayer. That's a desperate cry to God for something so
hard that only He can do it. Right now, you may be thinking of someone in
your personal world who is bitter. There's resentment, sarcasm, cynicism,
anger, maybe unforgiveness. The good news is that God is the world's leading
Heart Surgeon - He can change a heart in ways that no human could ever
dream. But you need to be faithfully, fervently praying for God to do
whatever it takes to change the heart of that bitter person. Especially if
that bitter person is you.

The Bible makes it clear that you "miss the grace of God" when you
let a "bitter root" grow in you. And your bitterness will, according to God,
"cause trouble and defile many." (Hebrews 12:15) But maybe your bitter pond
isn't a person - it's a situation you're in right now. God has the power to
sweeten a bitter situation, as well as a bitter person.

But God may have a "piece of wood" He wants you to throw into the
bitter waters. Maybe it's that apology you need to give ... a letter you
need to write ... some forgiving you need to do ... a healing step you need
to take. As you pray about the bitter, ask God if there's a step He wants
you to take in bringing about that sweetening miracle.

Don't underestimate the power of Almighty God to sweeten what you
thought would always be bitter. If you'll trust and you'll obey - trust God
to change things and obey His orders to make it happen. With a God as
powerful and loving as ours, no bitter pond has to stay bitter. Not when God
does His miracle of making bitter things sweet.
