Prayer for Motorists
Heavenly Father, we pray that with Your watchful eyes, keep watch on all of us who travel on the roads, be it for work or leisure. Keep us alert at all times so we may not pose a danger to ourselves or others. Calm our nerves and grant us patience so as to avoid any forms of confrontations with others. Bring all of us home safely to our loved ones after a tiring day on the roads... Amen.

I Don't Know How To Continue
It is only normal for most relationships to have some problems. We'll probably never know, who's right or wrong. But this is not important to us. What is important to us, is that he is obviously speaking with sincere honesty and truthfulness. Sometimes when we are uncertain about things in life, it is good to be honest with ourselves and admit it by saying, "I don't know how to continue". I think that this is a good place to start.

I Don't Know How To Continue ~ by Nicholas Tse (2011 Jun 27)
Sadly, today,
I don't know how to continue.
If you ask me now
'do you love that person;
think about that person?'
I would say...
'I love her and think about her',
but I don't know how to continue.

You are on a bus, when you suddenly fart. Luckily the music is very loud. So every time you fart, you time it with the music. When you start making your way to the exit door, and as you exit the bus, everybody is throwing dagger looks at you, and suddenly... you realize... you had your earphone on the whole time and was listening to your Walkman.

Joke ~ A Stiff Neck (RA)
A man came walking up to the house when he noticed his grandfather sitting on the porch, in the rocking chair, with nothing on from the waist down. 'Grandpa, what are you doing?' he exclaimed.

The old man slowly looked at him and said, 'Well, last week I sat out here with no shirt on, and I got a stiff neck. This is your grandma's idea.'

Story Time ~ God's 26 Guards
Here's a lovely story someone sent me via email. As to whether this story is true, you can read more about it at this link. Nonetheless, this is a beautifully written story.
~~~.
God's 26 Guards
While serving at a small field hospital in Africa, I traveled every two weeks through the jungle to a nearby city for supplies. This requires camping overnight halfway. On one of these trips, I saw two men fighting in the city. One was seriously hurt, so I treated him and witnessed to him about the Lord Jesus Christ. I then returned home without incident.
Upon arriving in the city several weeks later, I was approached by the man I had treated earlier. He told me he had known that I carried money and medicine. He said, "Some friends and I followed you into the jungle knowing you would camp over night. We waited for you to go asleep and planned to kill you and take your money and drugs. Just as we were about to move into your campsite, we saw that you were surrounded by 26 armed guards."
I laughed at this and said, "I was certainly all alone out in the jungle campsite."
The young man pressed the point, "No sir, I was not the only one to see the guards. My five friends also saw them, and we all counted them. It was because of those guards that we were afraid and left you alone."
At this point of the church presentation in Michigan, one of the men in the church stood up and interrupted the missionary. He asked, "Can you tell me the exact date when this happened?" The missionary thought for awhile and recalled the date.
The man in the congregation then gave his side of the story. He stated, "On that night in Africa it was day here. I was preparing to play golf. As I put my bags in the car, I felt the Lord leading me to pray for you. In fact, the urging was so great that I called men of this church together to pray for you. Will all of those men who met to pray please stand?"
The men who had met together to pray that day stood up. The missionary wasn't concerned with who they were, he was too busy counting how many men he saw. There were 26.

Shine Jesus Shine ~ Graham Kendrick (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
Lord the light of Your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth You now bring us
Shine on me
Shine on me
[Chorus]
Shine, Jesus, shine
Fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze, Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth Your Word, Lord And let there be light
[Verse 2]
Lord, I come to Your awesome presence
From the shadows into Your radiance
By the blood I may enter Your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me
Shine on me

We Could Be Together ~ Debbie Gibson (Lyris & Audio)

Lyrics:
We Could Be Together ~ Debbie Gibson (Lyrics)
VERSE 1:
If I were an only child
I would be a lonely child
But baby we've got nothing to lose
I'm standing tall in my own shoes
I'll take this chance
I'll make this choice
I'll right this wrong
I'll raise my voice
If it means
We'll be together
For a while
VERSE 2:
I have never had a doubt
But for you I'll take time out
I'll push his love far away from me
And then I'll be completely free
I'll give up my security
For just the possibility
That we could be together
For a while
CHORUS:
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
And if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while
VERSE 3:
I am taken by your strength
I've thought about it at great length
I thought that I was happy now
But there are things that I found out
Happiness means greater things
I'll sit here 'til that telephone rings
Then we could be together
For a while
CHORUS
BRIDGE:
Wait'll I tell my guy (wait'll I tell)
Wait'll I tell my other friends
They'll all think I'm crazy-
And ya know what?
That depends...
'cause I'm crazy in love
With you
And everyone's best won't do
They'll say my hopes
Will not come true
But I'm taking the chance
Because you only live once-
Only live once (only live once)
And...
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" You know I'd fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
And if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while
BRIDGE:
There are no guarantees
But if it means
There's even a possibility
Then I'll give up whatever it takes
I know I've made some mistakes before
It may be just another closed door
But we could be together
For a while
If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
Ask me once I'll tell you twice,
You know I'll ignore the world's advice
If we could be together
For a while
CHORUS
Don't you know that we could be together
For a while.

Prayer For Misunderstandings
Dear heavenly Father. We pray that we will be able to process our misunderstandings with one another knowing that whatever we are going through is only part of the journey among family members and/or friends. A lot of times, the hurt caused was not intentional. A lot of times, it was an oversight. Remind us, dear Father, that we humans do make mistakes and only in realizing and forgiving others, are we able to move on towards your heavenly kingdom... for we too make mistakes... as Jesus taught us to say, "forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sinned against us". May we learn for our experiences with one another and grow from it with deeper understanding of our bond with those around us. May we delight in responding well to the unpleasant situation presented before us, and take pride in the amount of humility it took to forgive. Lord Jesus, teach us your ways. Amen.
===.
Prayer For Those Who Need Strength
Dear heavenly Father. We all have our difficulties in life and sometimes we have to lean on our family members or friends from time to time. Please help us get back on track quickly so that we don't have to lean on others for too long because they might need us too when they face their own difficulties. Help us remember that everyone has difficulties in life even though they don't show it. Help us find ways of coping with the difficulties we face. Help us find our confidence in you, knowing that you have provided us whatever strength we need to overcome our difficulties. Help us find that strength. Amen.

Vehicle owners after buying a vehicle will inevitably need to find a place to park their vehicles, either at their residence or place of work. Finding a place to park is just one of the many needs that they have to manage among others like paying their season parking fees, road tax, driving licence fee and fines.
Time is precious and to save vehicle owners of these precious moments, all information and other related services from public service agencies such as

The Layman’s 10 Commandments
Someone just sent me this via email.
~~~.
The Layman's 10 Commandments
01. Prayer is not a "spare wheel" that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a "steering wheel" that directs the right path throughout.
02. So a car's WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move on.
03. Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.
04. All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don't worry, they can't last long either.
05. Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don't forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!
06. Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, "Relax, sweetheart, it's just a bend, not the end!
07. When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn't solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.
08. A blind person asked St. Anthony: "Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?" He replied: "Yes, losing your vision!"
09. When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.
10. WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today's PEACE.

Joke ~ Heaven's 3 Wonders
John Newton, writer of the hymn, "Amazing Grace" once
said, "When I get to heaven, there will be three wonders:
1. Who is there
2. Who is not there, and
3. The fact that I... am there...!"
