WITandWISDOM(tm) - February 25, 2000 ~~~~~~~ THOUGHTS: Five frogs are sitting on a log. Four decide to jump off. How many are left? Answer: five. Why? Because there's a difference between deciding and doing. - Mark L. Feldman & Michael F. Spratt in 'Five Frogs on a Log' (Charles Powell via E-zine: DAILYQUOTE c1999 http://www.dailycast.com) ~~~~~~~ SPECIAL THOUGHTS: PERSONAL PRAYER OF SALVATION - Pastor Bill McGinnis http://patriot.net/~bmcgin/ministries.html O Lord, I know that You are waiting here, For me to let You come into my life. I know that You are knocking on the door, And now I pray that You will enter in. I pray that You will come into my life, As Lord and Saviour, ruling over me. I know that You are truly Son of God, I know that You have risen from the dead, I know that only You can save my soul. I need Your guidance, and I need Your love; I want to follow everywhere You lead. I truly do repent of all my sins; I feel remorse for evil I have done; I know that only You can make me clean. I turn my back on sin and look to You. I am forgiving all who did me harm, As You are now forgiving all my sins. And now as I commit myself to You, I pray that You commit Yourself to me. I pray that You will take me as I am, And draw me, step-by-step, into Your arms. In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen. If you have just prayed this prayer for the first time and accepted Christ into your heart, please email me so that I may keep you in my prayers. - Richard Wimer (E-zine: GLORIOUS INSPIRATION Mailto:sharon.unger@usa.net) ~~~~~~~ THIS & THAT: LAS VEGAS FACTOIDS - Las Vegas means "the stars" in Spanish.
