"Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!" - (Psalm 95: 2)

It is wonderful how the memory of a funny story or a particular incident can bring joy to my heart and laughter to my lips years later. Laughter has the power to turn a seemingly sad day into a happy one. It is good for me and also for those with whom I share my laughter.

When I laugh, I feel the positive effects throughout my body. As I relax, any tension I may have felt dissipates. I am positive and upbeat.

Sharing as much joy as I can each day through laughter and smiles allows me to be an ambassador of goodwill. What a privilege it is to share the gladness of my soul with others!

Through laughter, I share the gladness of my soul.

UNDERDOGS ONE OF THE TIMELESS APPEALS of the Bible is that it is good news for underdogs. What could be more inspiring than true stories about Davids in a world of Goliaths? That's not ignoring the fact that the same book can also bring us to the end of ourselves. Some chapters sound like bad news for "long shots." Some are often bothered, for instance, by Jesus' seven "promises to overcomers" ( REVELATION 2- 3 ). In a series of seven letters to seven churches at the end of the first century, the resurrected Lord offers reassurance only to those who overcome the challenges facing them. In His first letter, Christ warns those in Ephesus that, because they have lost their first love, they are in danger of losing access to the tree of life ( REVELATION 2: 4- 7 ). In the next letter, he urges citizens of Smyrna to overcome their fear of suffering and death so they can avoid being hurt by the second death ( REVELATION 2: 11 ). ( Part 2 ) ...

Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's. The Lord executes righteousness and justice for all who are oppressed. He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the children of Israel. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earh, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father pities his children, so the Lord pities th

Dear Fellow Travelers: Some of the real reasons some of us don't spend more time with the Bible is that we're afraid of it. Makes sense to me. Why would we want to read a book that calls attention to our failures and multiplies our feelings of GUILT and FAILURE? Maybe that's why some of us don't want to go to the doctor for a checkup or don't want to balance our checkbook. If that's the way you're feeling today, I hope you'll read the accompanying column. We ALL NEED TO KNOW that BEHIND EVERY WORD OF THE BIBLE IS A WONDERFUL GOD WHO ---- IN THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES OF LIFE ---- CAN MAKE "EVERY UNDERDOG" INTO AN OVERCOMER. With Genuine Love, CW.1
