Dear Netfamily,
My mother used to work with a woman who always replied
to "Good Morning" with: "Is it?" If that is how you feel
as you receive the Hits!, let God Himself remind you:
"This is the day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice
and be glad in it."

READING FROM THE WORD OF GOD
Jesus said to his disciples:
"I have much more to say to you, more than you 
can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, 
comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will 
not speak on his own; he will speak only what he 
hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
He will bring glory to me by taking from what is 
mine and making it known to you. 
All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is 
why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine 
and make it known to you.
"In a little while you will see me no more, and 
then after a little while you will see me."
John 16: 12-16 (NIV)

We, in Sydney, experienced 45 Deg PLUS Celsius(110F?)
the other day. It was not a pleasant experience, but 
that evening there came a cool wind that chased away 
the heat completely.
That was a pleasant experience, until the wind became 
so strong that it caused massive damage all over the
metropolitan area. 
The Holy Spirit can be a little like that. He can 
brings initial refreshing to our souls, but He will 
not leave it there. He upturns our values,takes us 
out of our comfort zones, changes our lives forever. 
Earlier in Chapter 14, Jesus says that the world 
cannot accept the Spirit. That is because Truth in 
its purest sense is like searing heat to a world in 
rebellion.

TESTIMONY

Here is a true story from a footballer who was
"Tackled by Jesus"!
"I was a huge two hundred twenty pound football 
player who traveled with the crowd, drank, 
smoked, and did drugs and could get along with 
everybody except my mom. The football field was 
where I vented my anger. But mom was still too 
much for me and I decided to end it all. I didn't 
care about life and no one cared about me. 
The Methodists had a retreat, and I went on it, 
sang and had fun, with Christians. I didn't believe 
it. The last day we are given a chance to go and pray 
in a little church nursery. I went and Jesus had a 
gift for me in that little room that I will never 
forget. I opened my heart to Him and prayed and 
cried about everything in my life. Today, I am an 
"on fire" Christian."
--"Tackled By Jesus"

HAHAHA CORNER
*** Census Taker

The census taker knocked on Dulcie's door. She 
answered all his questions except one. She refused 
to tell him her age.
"But everyone tells their age to the census taker,"
he said.
"Did Miss Maisy Hill and Miss Daisy Hill tell 
you their ages?" she asked.
"Certainly," he replied "Well, I'm the same age as 
they are," she snapped.
He then wrote on his form "As old as the Hills."

*** RIDDLE OF THE DAY

What is one thing that all wise men, regardless 
of their religion or politics, agree is between 
Heaven and Earth?  
A: The word 'and'.
--Anon.

***  Car Keys

The couple arrived at an automobile dealership to
pick up their new car.  The embarrassed blonde
saleswoman, explained to the couple that she had
accidently locked the keys in the car.  At that
moment a young blonde mechanic arrived from the
service department. The couple went to the 
waiting room while the mechanic started work.
After nearly half an our, the couple returned to
see how it was going.  With the saleswoman watching
intently, the mechanic worked feverishly to unlock
the driver's side door.  As the couple watched from
the passenger's side, The wife instinctively tried
the door handle and discovered it was open.  "Hey,"
she announced to the blonde technician, "It's open!"
"I know," answered the young man. "I already got
that side."
