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!

Bible Byte 'n Chocolate Chew for Today
"To Be Young Is COOL!?!"
NOTE: You may need to access this search page to access the Scripture reading below. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Not in Arizona...Our son, Joey, was in Tucson, Arizona, last summer as a quizmaster in the National Bible Quiz Tournament.....and the weather? Oh, not COOL - unless you call 110 COOL! But I'm not talking about the weather today - read on!
A drama unfolds. Enter the Rich YOUNG Ruler from Bible days. He's physically fit with the vim and vitality of youth; he's wrinkle-free, pain-free, dentures-free, doesn't need tri-focals or that cover-up-the-grey stuff. He's a cool specimen of youth, admired by everyone over 40.....esteemed by Hollywood, sought by the corporate world and a hit in this month's teen magazine. And he walks away!
Why? He's got it all--now that's cool. But wait a minute--"youth" AGES--that kingdom mirror will reflect the wrinkles sooner than you think! Jesus Christ is looking for a faithful follower's inner devotion and beauty that will not fade, something the best salon in Jerusalem can't salvage for you. Think about it--surely that's what you REALLY want...uh...you're walking away?
I'm staying...I've been fully accepted by my Lord at every stage of life's aging process. For you see, age and outer beauty have nothing to do with being "cool" in God's eyes. It's all found in following Him within your heart, an inner beauty that time can't steal. It's His love and grace that puts a sparkle in the eye and a smile on the face--something youth can't buy and age can't take away. I'm a KID in the KINGDOM, forever young in spirit and ageless in soul--and I'm not walking away!
You're walking with the Lord too? Then you're COOL too. Believe it, receive it, grab a couple of chocolates on the way, and you'll have a COOL, choco-rich day!
