Are You A Late Bloomer?






The world continues to be captivated by Susan Boyle, the 47-year-old unemployed charity worker from Scotland. The woman, many call unattractive and "frumpy", stunned critics, doubters and judges with her incredible performance on Britain's Got Talent!

What does Susan's amazing story teach us?---Don't judge a book by it's cover?-surely, that's an important lesson for us to know.

But for christians, it tells us that it's never too late for our talents and calling to be fully and completely realized!

If you feel that life has passed you by, and your years have been wasted---be encouraged! Claim for yourself the promise in Joel 2:25---And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm...

You see, God has promised to redeem your years! Don't despair---one day, your talents and calling will shine bright
as the noonday sun!

GOOD BURGER!





I've noticed that nothing brings out a more frenzied response from readers than asking--Where's the best burger in town?

CNN suggested five burger joints worth visiting---
naturally, the response from readers was overwhelming!

Pulitzer Prize winning film critic, Roger Ebert is strongly partial to
Steak `n Shake . Do you agree, or do you have another favorite?

Having lived in New Orleans for many years, I never got into the gourmet burgers at Port of Call. Instead, I had a great fondness for the fare at a dive called Bud's Broiler---the absolute best 'greasy, not good for you' burger ever!

Wow, I'm getting hungry just writing this! Nothing beats a good burger---in moderation of course. So, here it comes troops---Where's the best burger in town?

Resurrection Day!




This Sunday, we celebrate our Lord's mighty and complete triumph over the grave and death!

Christ's victory is also ours---for being crucified with Christ, we have also taken part in His resurrection!

It's powerful encouragement for us to keep in mind, that if we have areas in our lives that need renewal, our Heavenly Father specializes in resurrection! That is one incredible truth!

So, don't give up. Through Christ, we are indeed more than conquerors over the problems we face in this life!

This Easter, enjoy the new clothes, candy and easter eggs---
but know this--your resurrection is coming!

Happy Easter!
