I still believe travel from Ebola stricken areas of Africa into the U.S. will have to be stopped until it is under control. That will probably happen if we encounter any more death. Thanks for the excellent reporting Nadita! Appreciate you!!!

Too funny! Didn't see that coming!

"Wow"

Wonderful word Ron. God help us to keep our priorities in order! Blessings!

Love it! Didn't have a drink, but surely would have spilled it as well. Thanks Snow!

It seems everywhere you turn someone or something is trying to cause panic! I'm just glad I'm in the arms of an ever loving Father who never changes!!!

So numerous, really enjoyed!!!

So much to be concerned about! Just glad our God is in control! His faithfulness is awesome! You have a great week-end. The countryside is beautiful with the autumn colors!

A few years ago a group of salesmen went to a regional sales convention in Chicago .. They had assured their wives that they would be home in plenty of time for Friday night's dinner. In their rush to catch the plane home and with tickets and briefcases, one of these salesmen inadvertently kicked over a table which held a display of apples. Apples flew everywhere. Without stopping or looking back, they all managed to reach the plane in time for their nearly-missed boarding........ ALL BUT ONE!!! He paused, took a deep breath, got in touch with his feelings and experienced a twinge of compassion for the girl whose apple stand had been overturned. He told his buddies to go on without him, waved good-bye, told one of them to call his wife when they arrived at their home destination and explain his taking a later flight. Then he returned to the terminal where the apples were all over the terminal floor.He was glad he did. The 16-year-old girl was totally blind! She was softly crying, tears running down her cheeks in frustration, and at the same time helplessly groping for her spilled produce as the crowd swirled about her; no one stopping and no one to care for her plight. The salesman knelt on the floor with her, gathered up the apples, put them back on the table and helped organize her display. As he did this, he noticed that many of them had become battered and bruised; these he set aside in another basket. When he had finished, he pulled out his wallet and said to the girl, "Here, please take this $50 for the damage we did. Are you okay?"She nodded through her tears. He continued on with, "I hope we didn't spoil your day too badly."As the salesman started to walk away, the bewildered blind girl called out to him, "Mister...." He paused and turned to look back into those blind eyes. She continued, "Are you Jesus?" He stopped in mid-stride .... And he wondered. He gently went back and said, "No, I am nothing like Jesus - He is good, kind, caring, loving, and would never have bumped into your display in the first place. "The girl gently nodded: "I only asked because I prayed for Jesus to help me gather the apples. He sent you to help me, Thank you for hearing Jesus, Mister." Then slowly he made his way to catch the later flight with that question burning and bouncing about in his soul: "Are you Jesus?" Do people mistake you for Jesus? That's our destiny, is it not? To be so much like Jesus that people cannot tell the difference as we live and interact with a world that is blind to His love, life and grace. If we claim to know Him, we should live, walk and act as He would. Knowing Him is more than simply quoting scripture and going to church. It's actually living the Word as life unfolds day to day. You are the apple of His eye even though you, too, have been bruised by a fall. He stopped what He was doing and picked up you and me on a hill called Calvary and paid in full for our damaged fruit. The nicest place to be is in someone's thoughts, The safest place to be is in someone's prayers And the very best place to be is ........in the hands of God

Funny Uneek! Hey, tried to PM you but it said you couldn't receive a PM. Is that true?

Thanks Nadita. Appreciate you!!!

Thanks Nadita. Maybe it's a little radical but I think all flights from West Africa should be banded until we figure out how to handle this Ebola plague. Oh, did I say plague. Humm, Wars and rumors of wars, earthquakes, plagues? Maybe we're close!!!
