A new Bible verse

It's been a while since I posted to this site, but I have a new Bible verse that applies.

Romans 12:11-13

^{11 -13}Don't burn out; keep yourselves fueled and aflame. Be alert servants of the Master, cheerfully expectant. Don't quit in hard times; pray all the harder. Help needy Christians; be inventive in hospitality.

1-800-BE-ALERT

You won't believe this story. I was coming out of our children's concert last night and picked up a pencil from the ground. I left it on our kitchen table and this morning my wife looked at it and said, "Did you read this?"

The pencil is labeled: "Report Drug Smuggling. U.S. Customs Service. 1-800-BE-ALERT" I think I was meant to have that pencil.

Defining a Lert

The city of Fort Collins, Colorado has clearly defined our identity: found this definition at a government site:

A Lert: a creature who is constantly aware of what is going on in its environment.

This is a pdf file, so you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it.

You can now adopt a lert

Lerts are available for adoption. Please visit this site.

A Lert Businesses

If you are running a company, it pays to be a lert.

We are not alone!!!

There is a web site called the Myrth Museum that has a page about staying a lert. Here are their comments regarding this image,

"

Webfoot finds it difficult to stay on a Lert for very long, since Lerts are sharp and spiny creatures and can be uncomfortable in close quarters. They are endowed with long snouts to help them keep track of whatever is going on around them and their spines act as miniature antennae. They are very good scouts and sources for information, but have rather prickly personalities and are easily crossed. Of course, the pufflings sometimes find themselves on the receiving end of a sharp (literally) rebuke, for their naturally high spirits can lead them to say things (unintentionally, of course) that cause the sensitive Lerts consternation.
