Hee Hee.
Evil humour!
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF MARRIED LIFE *Commandment 1*
Marriages are made in heaven. But so are thunder and lightning.
*Commandment 2*
If you want your wife to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.
*Commandment 3*
Marriage is grand — and divorce is at least 100 grand!
*Commandment 4*
Married life is very frustrating.
In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens.
In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens.
In the third year, they both speak and the neighbours listen.
*Commandment 5*
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.
*Commandment 6*
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one. The trouble starts when they try to decide which one.
*Commandment 7*
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you say.
After marriage, he will fall asleep before you start/open your mouth.
*Commandment 8*
Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.
*Commandment 9*
Marriage and love are purely matter of chemistry.
That is why wives treat husbands like toxic waste.
*Commandment 10*
A man is incomplete until he is married. After that, he is finished.

Yesterday's discussion was so forth coming, time was not on our side. We were robbed of the most crucial and decisive course of action.
I pray it is Sparkers' desire to ask God for forgiveness, mercy and grace. Mercy to be the salt in this worldly existence. Grace to express our gratitude for the Hope he has bestowed upon us.
Dears, Pray with me wholeheartedly.....
Father in heaven, this book and your Word are revealing things about me that I can barely face up to and is too ashamed to admit. You know all these. You were there when I committed them. I now recognise these as intentional and unintentional sins that I have committed against you. I have harmed others and myself. Father in heaven, will you please forgive me on the basis of what Jesus did on the cross. Will you cleanse me. Will you help me live for you from this day forward. Amen. Amen. Glory Glory Hallelujah. Let our goal be application.

2 Timothy 2:22 (NLT)
Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts.
2Timothy 2:22 (NIV)
22
Flee the evil desires of youth, and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

Faith and Endurance
Dear brothers and sisters, when troubles come your way, consider it an opportunity for great joy. 3. For you know that when your faith is tested, your endurance has a chance to grow.
Living sacrifice Eunice contributed Ps 42:11 (NLT)
Why am I discouraged?
Why is my heart so sad?
I will put my hope in God!
I will praise him again—
my Savior and my God!
Living sacrifice Annabel contributed James 3:9-10 (NIV)
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10.Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
Kel, we heeded your reasoning. It is quite graphic and useful and easy to imprint on our hearts. This cute button was listening to you and she found this wise adage on her brother's wall.
Living sacrifice Kellyn contributed Roman12:1 (NLT)
And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him.
Living sacrifice unti:P Deuteronomy 7:3-4 (NLT)
3 You must not intermarry with them. Do not let your daughters and sons marry their sons and daughters, 4 for they will lead your children away from me to worship other gods.
Proverbs 4:23 (NIV)
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

for it determines the course of your life.

Talkic WasteOur Agenda today - Walking in Love. Sparkers loved one another by speaking up about themselves. Not in a pretentious way but in a truthful manner that is REAL. I appreciate that very much. We have upstaged PHONEY at least for one day. The REAL world I heard is splattered with colour. I see, but I do not hear. Sadly, we are not looking to Nippon paint. We are referring to colourful expletives the kids of today utter even in the best of schools.
Paul admonishes in Ephesians5:3-4
Let there be no sexual
immorality, impurity, or greed among you. Such sins have no place among God’s people. Obscene stories, foolish talk, and coarse jokes—these are not for you. Instead, let there be thankfulness to God.
Jesus tells us that our hearts, our minds, our focus, need to be pure. Why? Because anytime we go outside the protection of God's prescription, whether it be in our minds, our words or our deeds, we act in unloving ways. These are acts of consuming, taking, exploiting and cheapening a relationship
Impurity pollutes the soul.These words apply not just to our behaviour and actions but to our
thought life as well. Immorality, impurity and greed often develop in private. The habit of logging to the internet or participating in illicit affairs through romance novels and various forms of 'prawn' tends to slip out in our language. Our jokes, innuendos and suggestive language reveal a darkened inner life.
The longer we think a certain way, the more we will speak and act that way. Pre-decide -Click away
To people like you and me, God's Word says, " Don't allow sinful kinds of hehaviour or thoughts enter your mind, your heart, or your relationships." Why? Because these words and actions are, at their core the very opposite of walking in love. They are neither innocent nor harmless fun - they are
destructive.We played the Broken hearted game to find our partners to do hurricane.
This is what Sparkers recommend in order to clean up our bodies.We got a choice basically in what our eyes scan.
-switch channels
-dump explicit bks & mags
-exercise yr right to choose movies.
-excuse yrself when frens/colleagues start cracking crude jokes
-or better yet change the topic
-or best ask them to stop.
Eunice & Debbie enjoyed themselves so much they got carried away
they also recommended that you can stuff cotton buds in yr ears
- or be a hermit. HaHaHa this tickles. I am tempted to say this is crab.
Another Sparker pair said this
-Don't read women magazines that tell you how to have the best sex
-Don't read PB
-Don't tell crude jokes
-Don't listen to crude songs with bad lyrics
may I add here be careful too of depressing songs
some are outright suicidal
they send subliminal messages to an already disheartened mind
-for one Sparker she has to resist watching Temptation Island, Desperate Housewives
ooops its not called Temptation Island for nothing.
But ultimately the choice is yours. Sometimes when you are late for a programe, its not fun watching it any more. That's also a way to wean yourself from something that waste your precious time
-Memorise 2Tim2:22. I just love this easy ref. I already know it, i mean only the ref.
-use the com/TV in an open area. What you google should be suitable for others to goggle at.
Another Sparkle pair recommend replacing strong bad language with neutral words or better words. That a good suggestion. If we want to break a habit that does not honour God, chances are we will succeed with a alternative replacement.
You know, affluence gravites to fine dinning, haute couture , glittering lifestyle
Diana our flexinova is right. Impurity, immorality and greed can let fly in other directions like stabbing looks, covetous thoughts and callous comments.
Totali agree. Today with God's help we have brought to mind and admitted that we intentionally or unintentionally do things that are shameful and disgraceful to ourselves and others. We are too ashamed to face God.
