Today’s Story

It's Justin and Michael's Day Off... when they get sick and have to stay home from school! But behind the high fevers and coughing is the pressure of make-up work.

Justin is making himself sicker just to get his big report done. Meanwhile, Michael is relaxing in a stress-free, germ-filled environment!

Michael's report on the Father of our Country was the daddy of all failures! At the same time, Justin gives a new twist to the art of the "oral report."

HOW ABOUT YOU…Have you ever slacked off in your homework or jobs? Or, are you a workaholic, who can't sit still to save your own life?

CHECK THIS OUT… By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day He rested from all His work (Gen 2:2).
It took God six straight days of work to create everything we see on earth, in the sea, and in the sky. But why would an Almighty God like our Lord need a day to rest?

His example of resting AFTER finishing His work is the model we should live by. More than anyone—including ourselves—God knows what we are capable of doing and what our limits are. Live by His example and work first, but then always make time for rest!

Thank Him today for the wonderful world He has created!
