Please be in prayer for all those who are seeking to be Lights for the Lord in North Africa, that He will grant them good health and strength in order to be able to serve to the fullest. One of our friends has been experiencing some pain in her back and leg. Ask the Lord to bring healing and release from pain.

(This news flash is best read / heard outloud.)

Nowadays you can get eggs from vegetarian fed hens, free-range chickens, or regular old hot-house hens.

Q. Do you know what the difference is between a vegetarian chicken and a real chicken, a free chicken?

=. The vegetarian chicken is made of tofu? No, I don't know.

A. Nope. The vegetarian chicken doesn't prey. But the free chicken, the real kind, does.

....

It is kind of like the old saying, "There are no atheists in fox-holes." Which brings us to the next question:

Q. Do you know what happens when a fox gets into a hen-house?

A. It eats chicken.

Q. Ah, yes, but do you know why?

=. No, why?

A. Because despite their noise, the fox preys better than the chickens in this case.

==> The lesson then is: Pray while you can!

"Seek the Lord while He can be found. For the night is coming when no-one can work!" - See Isaiah 55
