A Suit of Armor
When we were in Memphis, TN last week we saw this coat of armor in one of my cousin’s home. I snapped a picture with my phone and emailed it to my granddaughter, Kara. She wrote back quickly to tell me see saw eyes looking out of the the visor. It does look like eyes, see for yourself.—>
Can you imagine what it would be like to put on a suit of armor? It would be heavy, make you slow and not flexible, etc. Then think of going to battle dressed like that. I just can’t imagine what it would of been like. The only armor I wear is Right Guard.
Here’s another picture of a suit of armor. Want to put it on and go to battle?
You can read about the Armour of God in Ephesians 6, verses 11-18. it says to put on the whole armour of God.
Don’t forget that life is both precious and fragile. It is a gift from God. Take care in all things. We have only one life to live. Be the best you can be.
~Chinese Proverb
Joke of the Day
Setting: A small rural community, so small, in fact, the only church in town is a small Baptist church whose pastor must also double up as the local barber to make ends meet.
There happened to be a man in this small community who had invested wisely and was enjoying his newfound comfort.
This man got out of bed one day to go through his daily routine. He looked into the mirror as he was about to shave and decided, "I make enough money now, I don't have to shave myself. I'll go down to the barber and let him shave me from now on." So he did.
He walked into the barber shop and found the preacher/barber was out calling on the shut-ins.
His wife, Grace, said "I usually do the shaves anyway ... sit down and I'll shave you." So he did.
She shaved him and he asked, "How much do I owe you?"
"$25," Grace replied.
The man thought that was somewhat expensive and that he may have to get a shave every other day. Nonetheless, he paid Grace and went on his way.
The next day, he woke up and found his face to be just as smooth as the day before. No need for a shave today, he thought, well, it was a $25 shave.
The next day he awoke to find his face as smooth as the day before. Wow! he thought. That's amazing, as he normally would need to shave daily to keep his clean-shaven business look.
Day 3, he woke up and his face was still as smooth as the minute after Grace had finished. Now, somewhat perplexed, the man went down to the barber shop to ask some questions.
This particular day the pastor was in and the man asked him why his face was as smooth as it was the first day it was shaven.
The kind old pastor gently retorted, "Friend, you were shaved by Grace ... and once shaved, always shaved."
