22 “Turn to me and be saved,
all you ends of the earth;
for I am God, and there is no other.
He was pretty clear over 500 years before Jesus was born. This morning I was just reflecting on His word that has endured for thousands of years.
Here's a nugget i found--At the top of the list, unsurprisingly, is the Bible. The Guinness Book of World Records estimates that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been printed.
Other religious texts are also high on the list: the Quran with 800 million copies, the Book of Mormon with 120 million. China's "Quotations from Chairman Mao Zedong" has several hundred million copies in print, as well.
Pretty amazing numbers from a book written before there was any ability to mass produce.
just reflections no real take today.

Today felt a little more inspirational than the other chapters.. There is some hope here. I like this verse, and the one you chose as well.
How's your mom doing?

I'm heading to Waterloo shortly to take mom to the pain clinic. Hopefully they will give her a cortisone shot today and not just look at her. Then hopefully that helps, but we still need to work on a longer term solution IMO--but I'm no doctor. However I'm feeling like i know more about what is going on than all of the doctors and nurses which is disheartening.

well it is not her back it is her hip. First actual Dr. we have seen, he said its not the back. I'll do a local in the hip and she will walk out of here--he was right. Unfortunately that was just a 1 hour reprieve from the pain but it proved he was right and now we can attack the problem.
