I wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat our cell phones? What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets? What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it? What if we flipped through it several times a day? What if we used it to receive messages from the text? What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it? What if we used it as we traveled? What if we used it in case of an emergency? What if we upgraded it to get the latest version?
This is something to make you go...hmmm...where is my Bible?
Oh, and one more thing. Unlike our cell phone, we dont ever have to worry about our bible being disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill!

Poll: Faith, Family Make Youth Happy

Poll: Faith, Family Make Youth Happy
A newly-released survey by The Associated Press and MTV suggests religion and family are the top two factors in the happiness of U.S. 13 to 24 year-olds. Lisa Pearce, investigator for the National Study of Youth and Religion, told AP, "It's easier for kids who are happy and have things going well in their life to find the time and energy to participate in religion."
The survey asked more than 100 questions of 1,280 people aged 13-24. It found 80 percent of those who call religion or spirituality the most important thing in their lives say they are happy, compared to 60 percent who say faith isn't important to them, Ecumenical News International reported.
Forty-four percent said religion and spirituality is very important, 21 percent responded somewhat important, 20 percent said it plays a small part in their lives and 14 percent said it plays no role. Pearce, assistant professor of sociology at the University of North Carolina, said "It could be kids who have bad experiences in church end up leaving and being unhappy with religion."
When it comes to spirituality, 68 percent percent agreed with the statement, "I follow my own religious and spiritual beliefs, but I think that other religious beliefs could be true as well." Thirty-one percent responded, "I strongly believe that my religious beliefs are true and universal, and that other religious beliefs are not right."
Spending time with family was the top answer to the question, "What brings you happiness?" followed by spending time with friends, then with another person.
