In place of the usual daily thought (Sorry to be late with this one.), here's something interesting from Bill in Philly.  Hope you like it.  Tomorrow will be the weekly Bible trivial game.  Paul

Why go to Church?

If you're spiritually alive, you're going to love this!
If you're spiritually dead, you won't want to read it.
If you're spiritually curious, there is still hope!

Why Go To Church?

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and 
complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've 
gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard 
something like 3,000 sermons.

But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I 
think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving 
sermons at all."

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, 
much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone 
wrote this clincher:

"I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked 
some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire 
menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this. They all 
nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my 
wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. 
Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be 
spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing..... GOD is UP to 
something!

Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the 
impossible! Thank GOD for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!
