The other day I pointed to a couple across a restaurant and said to my wife, "That's us in ten years."

She replied, "That's a mirror."

We all need guidance to decide what we are going to do when face with life's choices. The counsel we choose to listen to for guidance in our lives, from infant to the grave, will have consequences. Listen as guest speaker Jarek Bekesza expands on this truth from biblical passages.

A man had finally got around to taking all his broken umbrellas to the repair shop.

Next morning on his way to his office when he got up to leave the street car, he absentmindedly laid hold of the umbrella belonging to the woman beside him for he was in the habit of carrying one.

The woman cried "Stop! Thief!", grabbed her umbrella back and embarrassed the poor man no end!

That same day, he stopped at the repair shop, and received all eight of his umbrellas duly restored. As he entered the street car, with the unwrapped umbrellas tucked under his arm, he was horrified to behold, glaring at him, the lady of his morning's misadventure.

Her voice came to him charged with a withering scorn: "Had a good day, didn't you!"
