In an attempt to brighten things up....

Bringing this one back from the dead....

Some railroad humor:

A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.
An optimist sees the light at the end of the tunnel.
A realist sees a frieght train.
An engineer sees three people standing on the tracks stairing blankly in space.

Everyone thinks forgiveness is a great idea - until he has someone to forgive.

When I was 7, I read a scary book and couldn't sleep that night. As I sat on my mom's lap, she asked me to quote the verses I was currently learning in school from Psalm 121. As I started to say them, I felt peace and comfort thinking about my Help.
These verses have been my favorite ever since, and my go-to for comfort most often.

I love the first two verses especially. They point out that we need to lift our eyes UP, off of this world, and put them on Jesus. And the One Who helps us is the One Who created everything that was ever made. If He can do all that, He can certainly help us with the largest problem we can imagine.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills,
from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD,
which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved:
he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel
shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The LORD is thy keeper:
the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day,
nor the moon by night.

The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil:
he shall preserve thy soul.

The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth,
and even for evermore.

It doesn't matter where you come from... but where you are going

[steve-in-kville]

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!
2
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
3
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
4
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yes, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
5
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
6
Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

[Robert]

It doesn't matter where you come from... but where you are going

Unless you have been there before because you keep leaving the house forgetting the map.

This needs repeated.
