Filling Up the Train to Heaven Josh McDowell

 Filling Up the Train to Heaven Josh McDowell  Bible Reading: 2 Peter 3:9-16  [The Lord] does not want anyone to perish,  so  he  is  giving more time for everyone to repent.  2  Peter  3:9 ''I'M REALLY not interested in hearing how special God thinks I am," Megan pro­tested. "People who focus on themselves end up totally selfish. I can't see how think­ing about me helps me glorify God and show the world how great he is." God wants you to see yourself like he sees you: lovable, valuable, and useful to him and to others. But why? Is it just to make you feel warm and fuzzy? Could he possibly want to feed your selfish side? No and no.

With his dying breaths, a scientist dictated to his assistant, Sinus Naselmeister, a secret formula that would cure the common cold and surely win Naselmeister a Nobel Prize. After typing the formula into his computer, Naselmeister shut down the machine and began experimenting. His best medicine so far is a cough syrup that tastes so bad even lab rats won't take it.

Omo, a 9-month-old hippo calf at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo  “Our  little hippo calf, Omo , is 9 months old, and he’s outgrown the baby-proofing in his indoor training area! He’s nursing less and eating more solid foods, which are helping him grow up big and strong. He recently weighed in at 435 pounds. That may seem huge to us, but Omo is still just a baby. He lives full-time with his mom, Zambezi, and has been learning to communicate with his aunt, Kasai, and dad,  Biko , who live separately in the same habitat, by making little ‘chuffing’ noises. “Keepers have seen Omo’s personality continue to get bigger, along with the rest of him.
