Some Bible Verses, and A Joke or Two!!


  • Here is something that I found in my bible and was very fascinated with. Athaliah was the only queen to rule Judah without a king because she murdered her grandchildren and all the royal family. Which is found in 2 Chronicles 22:10

  • Psalm 107:8-9 Let them give thanks to the Lord... for he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

  • Isaiah 25:1 O Lord, you are my God... in perfect faithfulness you have done marvelous things.

  • The Apostles Creed- I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord, who was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again, he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father. And will come again to judge the living and the dead. I Believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy universal Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

  • Jeremiah 20:13 Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy.

  • Judges 5:3 Hear this, you kings! Listen, you rulers! I will sing to the Lord, I will sing; I will make music to the Lord, the God of Israel.

  • Psalm 81:1-2 Sing for joy to God our strength; shout aloud to the God of Jacob! Begin the music, strike the tambourine, play the melodious harp and lyre.

  • Psalm 98:4-5 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, BURST INTO JUBILANT SONG WITH MUSIC; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram's horn-shout for joy before the Lord, the King.

  • 1 Corinthians 14:15 I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also pray with my mind.

  • Ephesians 5:19-20 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Gather for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

  • Romans 6:8 Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him.

  • 1 Corinthians 12:12 The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.

  • 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 There aer different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.

  • This is another cool thing in my bible... Can you imagine... what it was like to live in bible times? Wake up to the sun, not an alarm clock... on a floor mat, not a bed- sleeping in wasn't as tempting back then. Make the food, bread, olive oil, figs, olives. Walk to the well for a bucket of water. Learn about stuff, not through written books, only through storytellers. Washing the clothes, uh, right. No washers and dryers. Shopping, no malls just open markets. Campfires at night no electricity or TV or Ipods, or computers. Bathing, not enough. Once a week instead of every day. Sickness, if someone was sick and got something like leprosy, they were cast out and had to live on the outskirts of town. Emergencies, the community helped each other out, no 911. No college, young men generally learned the trade of their father by being his apprentice. Young women learned about housekeeping and parenting from their mothers. Hubs of culture, church, family, etc. Entertainment, music, singing, dancing, weddings, etc.

  • Revelation 19:6 Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns!!

  • Revelation 22:5 God will be there with us in a new heaven and earth he'll crate. There will be no more death or mourning or pain. The new universe God creates will be spectacularly beautiful, and there will be no evil or sin. We'll serve God there. No one knows just how, but we won't be inactive or bored. We'll see God himself. And we will "reign for ever and ever."
Here are some jokes that I got from my 1001 jokes book!!!
  • A young man came to father saying, " I've come to ask for your daughter's hand in marriage." The father replied, " Sorry, Either you take my whole daughter, or nothing.
  • What would happen if pigs could fly? The price of bacon would go up!
  • What do you get if you cross a camera with an alligator? A snapshot!
  • Why did the Cyclopes close his school? Because he only had one pupil!
  • What's the best day for cooking bacon? Fryday!!
