Good morning, good afternoon, good evening...wherever in the world you live! I hear you're a chocoholic too - I won't tell a soul! Chocolate is good for the body - and God's Word is good for the soul: "O taste and see that the Lord is good...(Psalm 34:8 KJV)." So please join me for a few moments of fun, food and inspiration - it's all calorie-free (believe that and I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge) and might even make your day!

Oh, brother....... ...It's the Bohanon Brothers!

Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today

"Brothers, Birthdays and the Body of Christ!"

Daily Manna's Bible reading: Matthew 7:1-5 (NIV)

Now you gotta understand - our home some days is "Comedy Central" - other days, it's the island of "Lost" - it's a bit crazy around here!

And why not! May I present a classic example?

It all began one fine day in the fall of 1984. Our son, Joey, almost 3, was excited about a new arrival soon to happen in the Bohanon home. As all "perfect" (!?!) moms-to-be do, I tried well to prepare the first-born for the second-born's birth.

And that's when it happened! He placed his ear on my over-enlarged tummy to "hear" his about-to-be sibling, and lo and behold - he got a personal greeting: a swift, firm KICK from the little person about to become his little brother - and the "Home Alone" kid in our family. THAT was his first introduction to Jason, the little blonde bombshell who arrived on our doorstep October 22, 1984.

Yep, our "little" Jason, 6'6," is 24 today, and we celebrate his birth - as we should all "babies" in the family - including the family of God! Got a brand-new Christian brother - or sister - in the Body of Christ, who's "kickin'" your shins and cuttin' up a storm in your life?? Love him, let the compassion and wisdom of Christ reign in your relationship. God will be pleased - and YOU will have a better, God-honoring, choco-rich day!
