Trail Mix - 8.5.18

8.5.18 – “A wise man once said, "A boat can be in the water without the water being in the boat!" The Word of GOD teaches us that we are to be in the world, but not of the world.

Sail on my friend, trust GOD and keep the water out of your boat. “Love not the world…” S. E. Trail

"Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City, the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean ." "Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!" "So, tell me," says the twenty, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?" The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church, the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church." The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"
