Today's Verse From God's Word:
"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." (Matthew 11:28 NIV)
Today's Smile:
"What kind of luggage did Delilah prefer?" ... Samsonite
Today's Highlight In History:
On this date in 1925, the Scopes "Monkey Trial" was organized in Dayton, TN. The trial actually began July 10th. John Scopes was tried for teaching evolution to his students. Though William Jennings Bryan, acting as prosecuting attorney, won the courtroom battle, creationists lost where public opinion was concerned. The fight is on to give creationism fair and equal attention in our public schools today.
Amazing Fact: The average person's skin weighs twice as much as his/her brain!
Scriptural Pursuit Question: "Name the city Abraham was from." Answer: Ur of the Chaldees (Genesis 11:28)

This is all that is left of her IPOD. God and an IPOD saved the life of 14 year-old Sophie Frost when she was struck recently by a 300,000 volt bolt of lightening. Researchers say the electricity was diverted away from her vital organs by the IPOD - the headphones were hanging from her body as she stood underneath a tree with a friend. They both were knocked unconscious and suffered only minor burns as evidenced by her clothing in the picture. Nevertheless, they both lived to tell the story.
Welcome to a thrilling Thursday!
