God wants us to do good works and help the hurting of the world.  Faith in Jesus will save our souls from condemning judgement, but we will still be judged by our works.

Isaac is an example to all of us for the need to be emotionally responsive in our relationships with each of our children - and everyone else for that matter.

"There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last."
- Robert Louis Stevenson

A South African woman who thought her electricity bills were high didn't realize her meter was connected to all of her neighborhood street lights for 35 years. Minnie Swan complained for years about the size of the bill for her house in Colenso, KwaZulu-Natal.

The 92-year-old widow's brother eventually convinced the electric company to install a new meter and workers made the discovery. Her brother told news reporters that it appears the original work was done 35 years ago when Minnie bought her house in the then new neighborhood.
