He had a fever for 30 days, and none of the "medical doctors" could figure it out. P-Ron left it up to God, and saw his old nutritionist, who knew immediately what he needed. About half (if not more!) of the congregation stood up and clapped when he appeared, and I must admit, my eyes got a little misty, lol! It was wonderful seeing him back preaching today. Mind you, I love what Pastor Clark, Pastor Jim, and Pastor Josh have to say, but Pastor Ron is really the glue that holds VBF together, in my humble opinion. (It was great to hear Eric leading worship, too!) What a wonderful Sunday service! Aaron :)

| I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phone? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we flipped through it several times 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 travelled? What if we used it in case of emergency? This is something to make you go..hmm Where is my Bible? 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. Makes you stop and think "where are my priorities?" NO lost calls! NO dead battery! NO "pls call me's," because He will call on you ALL THE TIME!

| Was Jesus… Black? Here are 3 good arguments: 1. He called everyone brother 2. He liked Gospel 3. He didn't get a fair trial But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Jewish: 1. He went into His Father's business 2. He lived at home until he was 33 3. He was sure his Mother was a virgin and his Mother was sure He was God But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Italian: 1. He talked with His hands 2. He had wine with His meals 3. He used olive oil But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was a Californian: 1. He never cut His hair 2. He walked around barefoot all the time 3. He started a new religion But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was an American Indian: 1. He was at peace with nature 2. He ate a lot of fish 3. He talked about the Great Spirit But then there were 3 equally good arguments that Jesus was Irish: 1. He never got married. 2. He was always telling stories. 3. He loved green pastures. But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus was a woman: 1. He fed a crowd at a moment's notice when there was virtually no food 2. He kept trying to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it 3. And even when He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do. Genesis 1:27 says “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” That seems to mean that God is both male and female, right? BTW - Jesus IS God. Jesus said in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” And John 1:1 says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” The “Word” means the Word of God, as per Revelation 19:13, “He* is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.” (*Jesus) Word up! Aaron :)

1. Avoid riding in automobiles because they are involved in 20% of all fatal accidents. 2. Do not stay home because 17% of all accidents occur in the home. 3. Avoid walking on streets or sidewalks because 14% of all accidents occur to pedestrians. 4. Avoid traveling by air, rail, or water because 16% of all accidents involve these forms of transportation. 5. Of the remainder, 32% of all deaths occur in hospitals. So, try to avoid hospitals. But... you may be pleased to learn that only 0.001% of all deaths occur in worship services in church, and these are usually related to previous physical disorders. Therefore, logic tells us that the safest place for you to be at any given time is at church! So, for SAFETY'S sake… Attend church, IT COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE!

Chapter I I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost... I am helpless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out. Chapter II I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I'm in the same place, but it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. Chapter III I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in...it's a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. Chapter IV I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. Chapter V I walk down another street.
