"Keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life." – Jude
1:21
Psalm 150:1-2
Praise the Lord
Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.
Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.
God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding. He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth,' and to the rain shower, 'Be a mighty downpour.' — Job 37:5-6
Your statutes stand firm; holiness adorns your house for endless days, O LORD. — Psalm 93:5
Thought: So many of the material things we pursue are temporary. Their usefulness lasts only a matter of months or at most a few short years. Even our lives, and the lives of those we love, are short. But God's character, his defining quality ("Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!"), and his demands for our holiness are forever. So as we build our lives, let's build on a secure foundation — the will of God and a commitment to share in his holiness.
Prayer: Holy God, I thank you for making me holy and forgiving my sin by your grace. Fill me with your Spirit and bring forth the Spirit's fruit in my life so that it reflects your grace and your character. Give me a hunger to know your will and to seek your truth and an ability to understand and apply it to my life. I want to build my life with you as its center and its goal. In Jesus' precious name I pray. Amen.

Today is VETERAN’S DAY , and it’s the first day of NATIONAL HUG A VETERAN WEEK . ***MARLAR: Hugs are fine, but how about we give our veterans the day off from work – with pay? I know that some government offices might be closed today anyway, but it has nothing to do with whether the people working there are veterans. If a veteran works at a local restaurant, office, or car dealership, do they get the day off? Maybe they should. Thank you for your service, Veterans!

1993: A 600-year-old spoon, discovered in a Devon, England, farmhouse, sold at auction for $41,400.
1997: A limping Biloxi, Mississippi, bank robber made his getaway in a wheelchair. Police arrested the bandit a few minutes later at a nearby hardware sto re trying to get the store’s owner to call him a cab.

WHAT WAS THE FIRST U.S. COIN TO MINTED WITH THE MOTTO "IN GOD WE TRUST?
The U.S. two-cent coin was minted between 1864 and 1873, and was the first coin to bear the motto "In God We
Trust". The motto was omitted from the new gold coins issued in 1907, causing a storm of public criticism. As a result, legislation passed in May, 1908 made "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins on which it had previously appeared.
Legislation approved July 11, 1955, made the appearance of "In God We Trust" mandatory on all coins and paper currency of the United States. By Act of July 30, 1956, "In God We Trust" became the national motto of the United
States.

NEW NEWS KICKERS…
A Florida woman who allegedly attempted to buy $75 worth of marijuana only to be shorted the full amount decided this was a matter for the authorities. Police in Fort Myers say Erin Klich called 911 demanding something be done about the sale. When officers arrived, Klich was waiting outside and told them that the dealer inside took her money.
She was arrested for misusing 911 and for possession of pot. *** Her lawyer is now arguing that the Florida woman mistakenly thought she was in Colorado.
Sister Lisa Maurer has apparently found her calling: on the field, as an assistant football coach at the College of St.
Scholastica in Minnesota. Sister Lisa had actually coached at the high school level before becoming a nun. ***If she does well, she hopes to eventually move up to coaching an NFL team that is desperately in need of her prayers… in
Chicago.

Environmentalists say that raking leaves is not good for the ecosystem in your backyard and say that yard debris constitutes 13 percent of all the solid waste in the United States every year. The National Wildlife Federation says you should leave dead leaves where they fall, since they become a natural fertilizer for your soil. In addition, chipmunks, salamanders, earthworms, turtles and other small creatures live in the leaves or use them for food and nesting material. *** And I am immediately printing out this story and saving it for the next time my wife gives me yard work to do. “Sorry honey, but it’s bad for the environment! Oh well… hey, I’m heading to Arby’s, you want something?"

Health researchers say they found a troubling link between higher consumption of rice and Type 2 diabetes, a disease that in some countries is becoming an epidemic. Further work is needed to probe the apparent association and diets that are notoriously high in sugar and fats should remain on the no-go list, they cautioned. ***MARLAR: That's right – white rice is considered a sugar. Try adding that to your coffee in the morning and see how far it gets you.
The wackiest practical joke to hit England in years is called "spudding," filling the entire interior of someone's car with mashed potatoes and gravy. Teens often spend an entire day at a "spud party" cooking the gooey stuff. They gather it in huge vats, then dump it into a friend's car, all the way up to the roof, in the dead of night. ***MARLAR: This is particularly cruel if the victim is on a low-carb diet.

Getting a cake delivered for one wedding turns out not to be a piece of cake!
In Pembrey, England, Tony and Aimee West went all out for their wedding cake. They paid $500 bucks for what was supposed to be a three tier sponge cake decorated with white and dark chocolate icing and flowers. But just four hours before the evening reception was due to start Aimee discovered the cake company had forgotten to bake the cake.
Aimee said, "They admitted their mistake and said, 'Don't worry, we'll get you a cake'. They turned up that evening and the cake was put on a table for all to see." All seemed to be well until the couple cut into the cake and took their first bites together. Turns out the "cake" was no cake at all. Just a bunch of Styrofoam covered with icing. Both bride and groom began choking -- an experience Aimee said was terribly embarrassing! So they took Creative Cakes to small claims court and were awarded $600 compensation. Karen Williams, who runs Creative Cakes said, "I explained I would be delivering an artificial cake - they are quite common at weddings these days." ***MARLAR: Really? Nobody
I know of... I mean, really... who orders a fake cake for ANYTHING?

A man robs a Wal-Mart using an ax! And the door greeter knew he was there!
FILE #1: According to police, an unidentified man stole an ax from a Home Depot in Oklahoma City and used it menacingly to rob a clerk and shortly thereafter did the same at two other stores, including a Wal-Mart. On interviewing witnesses, police learned that a Wal-Mart door greeter had seen the man enter carrying the ax, but his only impulse was to make sure that he did his job and placed a sticker on the ax so that when the man later tried to exit the store, he wouldn't be charged for it.
FILE #2: Firemen in Munich, Germany, rescued an 89-year-old granny who was stuck in a tree more than 60 feet above the ground. Anna Gurlow said she had climbed her neighbor's tree to rescue her cat, but the tricky feline got away from her and jumped safely to a nearby roof. It took firemen nearly an hour to get the grandmother out of the tree.
FILE #3: 16 year old Nicole Lavelle is quickly learning the ins and outs of the British court system. According to the
Guardian newspaper, she has taken her father to court for breach of contract. The girl charges that he had promised to pay up to about $20,000 a year for her to go to the exclusive college of her choosing and when she opted to go to a cheaper school he balked. Why? Because the college is very close to the home of the girl's mother -- his ex wife.
***MARLAR: Sounds like Nicole could be in pre-law.

Crashing a party is generally thought of as rude. Crashing a party in order to sell drugs - that's stupid.
Crashing the party of a POLICE OFFICER...
20-year-old Leonard Garland, and a buddy were arrested in Ashland, MA, after Leo had the bright idea to crash a party at a private home he just happened to be driving by. His thinking was that a party would be a good place to find customers for his drug business. So he walks in and strikes up a conversation, eventually enticing a guest to ask him about drugs. Leo had cocaine on him, but when his "customer" wanted more, he made a phone call to his supplier.
However, the supplier said he would not go near Ashland because Ashland's main narcotics detective, Mark Gutwill, was too aggressive. You guessed it-what Leo didn't know was that the party he had crashed was a group of off-duty police officers, and the "customer" he had randomly chosen to talk to was Detective Mark Gutwill, who then arrested him.

Joseph Skipper, is known for his meticulous studies of high-resolution Google Mars space images. This time, the researcher found a whole transport system on the photos.
Skipper says that there is conclusive proof that there are (or were) working trains on Mars – trains that operated in the same manner as Earth trains.

The small girl had recently received a new watch and some perfume, which she was very excited about. Their family asked the pastor over for dinner. The girl wanted so badly to tell the pastor about her new gifts, but her mother insisted she wait until after dinner and not interrupt at meal time.
Not able to contain her excitement, and not wanting to disobey, the little girl leaned over to the pastor during dinner and whispered, "If you hear a little noise and smell something, it's me!"
JOKE #2
On the border of Kentucky and Tennessee there's a small forest. Half of the forest belongs to a Kentucky farmer, while the other half belongs to a Tennessee man.
One day, while out for a walk in the woods, the Tennessee man comes across a wolf caught in a trap. He rushes back to his house and calls his Kentucky neighbor.
"There's one of your wolves caught in a trap on my side of the forest."
"How do you know it's one of *our* wolves?" the Kentucky farmer asked.
"Well," the Tennessee man replied, "he's already chewed off three of his legs and he's still trapped."
JOKE #3

Over dinner, Jill said to John, "I had an awful experience this morning. I met this disgusting fellow - a horrible, rude man. Right away I knew he was a troublemaker. He began by insulting me; he used really obscene language and he even threatened me!"
"My Goodness! How did you meet this fellow?" John asked, very concerned.
Jill said, "Well, we met by accident, I ran over him in the supermarket parking lot."
In England, the maker of king-sized Mars and Snickers bars is changing them in response to the rising level of obesity among the Brits. Instead of one 3.5 ounce piece, the bars will be cut into "two shareable portions." ***MARLAR: My idea of sharing two portions of the same candy bar is sharing them between my right and left hands.

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I notice a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"Do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied. "But my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him."

A federal board of medical advisors at the FDA met for two days to discuss how to regulate the use of flesh-eating maggots and blood-sucking leeches. Recent studies have confirmed that maggots are excellent at cleaning external infected wounds and leeches are unbeatable for draining excess blood from post-surgical wounds. Now, they had to decide on 21st century rules for their use. The first step was deciding who had jurisdiction: the biological or device divisions. They finally decided that chewing flesh and drinking blood were mechanical processes, so leeches and maggots were classified as "medical devices." ***MARLAR: Along with sharks and vampires now.

OU R LORD’S COMMAND
"Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men." —Mark 1:17
Jesus asked Simon Peter a heart-searching question long ago on the seashore in Galilee: "Do you love Me?" (John
21:15-17). Then the risen Lord told His disciple Peter that his future would lead to martyrdom. And Peter accepted that destiny without complaint.
But then Peter asked about the Apostle John's future (v.21). We can only guess what motivated his question. Was it brotherly concern? Was it fleshly curiosity? Was it resentment because he thought that John might be spared a martyr's death?

Whatever Peter's motive, Jesus responded with a counter-question that applied not just to Peter but to every follower of His: "If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me" (v.22). In that question, Jesus was saying in essence, "Don't worry about what happens in the life of anybody else. Your task is to keep following Me steadfastly."
It is so easy to let our relationship with the Lord be overly influenced by the behavior and experiences of others. But we must not be concerned with what God has planned for anyone else. Through the conflicting voices that surround us, we must keep hearing the Savior's clear command: "You follow Me." —Vernon Grounds
Jesus calls us o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless sea,
Day by day His sweet voice soundeth,
Saying, "Christian, follow Me." —Alexander
To find your way through life, follow Jesus.
STARLINGS GET AN EARFUL
Tired of birds messing up your car right after you get it washed? Imagine what kind of problems an entire city might experience! The city of Rome thinks it has the solution though!
Rome has a problem. Swarms of starling come to the city every year gathering around the historic piazzas and baroque churches. Sometimes the number of birds reaches upwards of four million! Of course, the tourists hate this, because with that many starlings flying around, you can't even walk across the street without taking an umbrella, if you know what I mean. The smell is obviously not very pleasant when the birds arrive and make their messes, and it costs a lot of money to clean up after the birds. So Rome has decided it's had enough and is deciding to get rid of the starlings. How do you do such a thing? Well, since bringing in thousands of cats probably isn't a good idea either, they've decided to use the starlings' songs against them. The Italian League for the Protection of Birds (Lipu) will broadcast bird ``distress calls'' over loudspeakers to scare the birds away. The recordings are of a bird that is in danger, the idea being that other birds will hear the recording, assume there is danger, and not land within city limits.
***MARLAR: The same concept works with teenagers. If you don’t want them around, play a Celine Dion album.
CELL PHONE ELBOW?
If your pinkie and ring fingers tingle or feel numb, you might not want to pick up that cell phone to call the doctor. Too much cell phone use can lead to overextending nerves, causing what doctors call "cell phone elbow." Orthopedic specialists are reporting cases of "cell phone elbow," in which patients damage an essential nerve in their arm by bending their elbows too tightly for too long. Bending the elbow tighter than 90 degrees for an extended period of time will stretch the ulnar nerve by 8 to 15 percent and that causes the problem. The remedies are simple.
-- Avoid activities that require the elbow to be bent tighter than 90 degrees.
-- Fix workstations so the elbows aren't overly flexed.
-- Don't lean on your elbows for an extended period of time.
SEE-THRU ENVELOPES
The days of steaming open envelopes are over...
...an inventor has developed an aerosol spray that makes unopened envelopes transparent so that the contents can be read. "You spray it on and it temporarily makes the envelope clear," said inventor Robert Schlegel. "It leaves an odor for 10 to 15 minutes, but there is no smudging of ink, no stain, no evidence at all. The envelope is transparent for a few minutes and you can respray it hundreds of times without leaving any stain." But don’t worry if you think a neighbor or family member can use it on your mail. The spray will be offered only to police and the Secret Services.
***MARLAR: So now Homeland Security can join me in staring in disbelief at my gas bill.

TMI Can Kill You
The topic of this week’s blog is the essence of confidentiality. No. It’s not a new cologne. But there is a fresh fragrance when trust is kept and honored.

We in the media find getting a scoop to be a delicious morsel. News stations like to brag about being the first to bring a story to your attention. Writers treasure the opportunity to share insider information that only they have been privy to uncover. It’s all part of the larger game in business that we call competition.
Exclusivity is worth bucks as well. Over the weekend, my wife and I indulged in watching the movie Steve Jobs . In one sequence, a technology reporter is pursuing Steve for comments. He wants what we might call the prime sound bytes.
Jobs and his marketing whiz refuse comment, but then go “off the record.” We know this to be the comments made that are not recorded, and intended to be kept private. Often they are not.
A different variation on this theme comes from sources who give out information that they are unauthorized to share.
The tragic crash of the Russian jetliner had reporters scrambling to get answers on why it went down. Any source with some credibility will do.
In reading the Chicago Tribune story about the incident , I read this: “A U.S. satellite registered a ‘heat flash’ about the time that the plane crashed, a U.S. official said Tuesday, speaking on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the information publicly.”
This line about sources who wish to remain anonymous because they aren’t supposed to talk is quite common. But I don’t like it. I’ve been asked by a reporter to be quoted for a story he was writing. It was understood my name would carry attribution for what was said.
The disturbing element of the anonymous secret sharer is one of mislaid trust. People who are unauthorized to give out information can’t be trusted. They have violated an ethical code of silence. And when you do that, what other ethical transgressions might you be open to?
Mind you, I don’t consider it inappropriate to speak “off the record” if what you are sharing is to add context and is not damaging information. But one must be careful. If you are at all worried that this information can be traced to you, it’s best to avoid oversharing.
Whistleblowers are in a different category. Genuine concern over some form of illegal activity that results in harm to others may lead someone within an organization to report it. But consider, if the principle motivation is financial gain or delivered out of spite or payback, how noble is the whistleblower?
This issue comes home to roost in personal relationships as well. Many people delight in being privy to others’ situations that they, in turn, can share with friends or coworkers. This often leads to gossip — that “casual or unconstrained conversation ab out other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true.” Oh the joy of sprea ding others’ secrets!
Knowing this about the human condition leaves us untrusting. And it hurts our cause in building authentic relationships.
Gaining s omeone’s trust is to be prized. Violating that trust can leave one crushed.
I’ve been involved in several small groups with men to build friendships. In those conversations, we share events from our personal lives. Being more private in nature, the spoken word came with a caveat: intended for this audience
ONLY. We would jokingly refer to these sessions as being the “Pope’s Chambers.” Or applying the “cone of silence.”
People in leadership have a difficult time in being transparent with others. They know the damage that can be done from unguarded sharing. Without a very few friends who can be trusted, these same leaders risk isolation. That too is troublesome.
The Bible speaks to this in several ways. The book of Proverbs is a good place to start. Proverbs 11:13 reads, “A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.” (NLT) Proverbs 16:28 adds,
“A troublemaker plants seeds of strife; gossip separates the best of friends.” (NLT) And then this warning from
Proverbs 20 :19: “Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.”
(ESV)
One final word on this topic from Jesus. There are times when we must share what others would wish we keep to ourselves. It is a report of the Good News. In sending His disciples out, the Gospel of Matthew records these instructions: “So do not be afraid of people. Whatever is now covered up will be uncovered, and every secret will be made known. What I am telling you in the dark you must repeat in broad daylight, and what you have heard in private you must announce from the hous etops.” (Matthew 10:26-27, GNT)
When it comes to sharing with others on any topic, know your boundaries.
TMI can kill you.
That’s The Way WE Work.
