The Bible and our cell phones

Ever  wonder what  would  happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone, or at least used it as much?

  • What  if we carried it around in our purses or  pockets?
  • What  if we flipped through it several time a  day?
  • What  if we turned back to go get it if we forgot  it?
  • What  if we used it to receive messages from the  text?
  • What  if we treated it like we couldn’t live without  it?
  • What  if we gave it to Kids as  gifts?
  • What  if we used it when we  traveled?
  • What  if we used it in case of  emergency?

Oh,  and  one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we don’t have to worry about our Bible being  disconnected because Jesus already paid the  bill.

What’s Your Standard?

Every morning for years, at about 11:30, the telephone operator in a small Sierra-Nevada town received a call from a man asking the exact time. One day the operator summed up nerve enough to ask him why the regularity.

“I’m foreman of the local sawmill,” he explained. “Every day I have to blow the whistle at noon so I call you to get the exact time.”

The operator giggled, “That’s really funny,” she said. “All this time we’ve been setting our clock by your whistle.
