Subject: The Other Side

A sick man turned to his doctor, as he was preparing to leave the
examination room and said, "Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what
lies on the other side."

Very quietly, the doctor said, "I don't know." "You don't know? You, a
Christian man, do not know what is on the other side?"

The doctor was holding the handle of the door; on the other side of
which came a sound of scratching and whining, and as he opened the door,
a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of
gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, "Did you notice my
dog? He's never been in this room before. He didn't know what was
inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the
door opened, he sprang in without fear. I know little of what is on the
other side of death, but I do know one thing ... I know my Master is
there and that is enough."

1) Thou shalt not gossip. Prov. 18:8 Before any evil story whispered in the
ear is passed on, it should be treated as the housewife treats apples for a
pie ... first peeled, then quartered, and cored, then what remains liberally
sugared.

(2) Thou shalt not use a multitude of empty words. Prov. 10:19. Your tongue
reveals the nature of your thinking and your character. The divine Master
Himself admonishes the children of men to "let your admonishes be yea, yea,
nay, nay, for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."

(3) Thou shalt not boast. Prov. 27:2 A small man makes long, loud boasting
in order to center the spotlight of attention on himself; the great man
works quietly, Silently polishing the beacon that it may guide the ship
safely into the desired haven.

(4) Thou shalt not flatter. Prov. 26:28 Someone has said that "Flattery is
like soft soap; it is 90% lye" - and you can count on the ratio being just
about right. The words of the man or woman who would flatter you, according
to the psalmist, who had a great deal of experience with that sort of thing,
are "softer than oil, yet withdrawn swords."

(5) Thou shalt not grumble. Phil. 2:14 The prescription for this malady is
to saturate your life with loving kindness. Let it enter every pore and the
process will be absolutely foolproof against the gnawing frets and worries
that are worse than termites, to eat the soul out of you.

(6) Thou shalt not backbite or slander. Psalm 64:3 The tongue that backbites
or slanders is the weapon that empties churches, pours streams of bickering
humans into divorce courts, fills our jails with wretched humanity, and
lashes men and woman to Satan's kingdom.

(7) Thou shalt not mock or make fun. Job 11:3 Let us learn sympathy and give
our fellows a helping hand instead of mockery, no matter how peculiar or odd
they may be. Remember angels visit the earth in all kinds of guises.

(8) Thou shalt not lie. Ex. 20:16 The first recorded lie was told in the
garden of Eden. Since then, the practice has spread like a plague throughout
the whole earth. Everyone hates a lying tongue.

(9) Thou shalt not swear. Ex. 20:7 Profanity is the official language of the
devil's kingdom. Have no part in it for it will disqualify you for heaven.

(10) Thou shalt not argue in anger. Hosea 7:16 Whatever the provocation is
remember that "silence is golden" and that "a soft answer turneth away
wrath; but grievous words stir up anger" Prov. 15:11

******************************************

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old pecan tree just
>inside the cemetery fence. One day, two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts
>and sat down by the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.
>"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me," said one boy.
>Several dropped and rolled down toward the fence.
>
>Another boy came riding along the road on his bicycle. As he passed, he
>thought he heard voices from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to
>investigate. Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you,
>one for me."
>He just knew what it was.
>"Oh my", he shuddered, "It's Satan and the Lord dividing the souls at the
>cemetery."
> He jumped back on his bike and rode off.
>
>Just around the bend he met an old man with cane, hobbling along.
>"Come here quick," said the boy. "You won't believe what I heard! Satan
>and the Lord are down at the cemetery dividing up the souls."
>The man said, "Beat it kid, can't you see it's hard for me to walk." When
>the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the cemetery. Standing by the
>fence they heard, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me..."
>
>The old man whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth. Let's see if we
>can see the Lord himself." Shaking with fear, they peered through the
>fence, yet were still unable to see anything. The old man and the boy
>gripped the wrought iron bars of the fence tighter and tighter as they
>tried
>to get a glimpse of the Lord.
>
>At last they heard, "One for you, one for me." And one last, "One for you,
>one for me. That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence, and we'll
>be done."

>They say the old man made it back to town a full 5 minutes ahead of the boy

Every life has difficulties. It may be a difficult marriage, chronic pain, depression, painful childhood memories, past mistakes, or emotional pain. Maybe you have begged God to take it away, but it's still there. One thing is true: God has the power to change your circumstances - so it is acceptable to ask Him to do just that. Paul asked the Lord three times to take away his thorn in the flesh. Christ prayed the night before He was crucified, My Father, if it is possible let this cup pass from me. Even in their willingness to do God's will there was an expressed desire that God take the hard thing away. In both cases God chose not to grant their requests because there was a more important good to come.

When bad things happen:

* See things from God's perspective. A "no" from God allows you
    to step back and look at the larger picture, perhaps even to
    understand His reasons.

* Depend on God. Pain and weakness keeps you in touch with your
    vulnerability - and in touch with your need for God and
    others. Turn your attention and your trust to Him.

* Let difficulties provide character. Just as physical muscles
    are developed in the hard work of pulling or pushing against
    weight or gravity, so, too, your spiritual muscles are
    developed in the hard work of living in less-than-perfect
    circumstances. There is no other way for some character
    traits to be developed. We also exult in our tribulations;
    knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and
    perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope
    (Rom. 5:3-4).

* Allow difficulties to bond you with others. When we open up
    our pain to others, it can level the ground between us as
    human beings and allow us to see each other more clearly. You
    have the choice about whether to experience it in isolation -
    or to open it up and find the bond it can create with others.
    When you share your pain, the beauty and strength you see in
    each other is nothing less than inspiring.

* Expect God to use it. He will use areas of weakness and
    vulnerability in your life for His purposes. It's more
    natural to hide those things rather than risk
    misunderstanding, embarrassment, or disrespect from those who
    don't know how to respond to the reality of human limitations
    - theirs or yours. But Paul said that God wants us to boast
    about our weaknesses - putting them right out there in plain
    view - so that God's power can come shining through.

UPDATE CALENDAR REFERENCE INSTR......

Took 11 days to figure out what to do to link the calendar to the page #'s, so here's the "fix" (also proper way to do this again with each new page added):

Open and make the day's page. Publish when thru. Check browser address line and obtain the correct page id #. (November calendar HTML is working perfectly/ back-reference).
