PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION:
WELCOME TO THE SHOW!
A quick word of advice before the show begins today: your chances of waking up and smelling the coffee are much better if the cat's litter box is not in your bedroom.
BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
"A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold." -- Proverbs 22:1
Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. — Hebrews 9:28
I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles. — Isaiah 42:6
HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE, PRAYER & THOUGHT
(From VerseOfTheDay.com)
For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. — 1 Thessalonians 5:9-10
Thought: God didn't save us to condemn us. No, he saved us so we could come home to him and enjoy his gracious presence for eternity. God wants us in his presence; that's what salvation is all about! He is not about to let anything keep us from that presence when our hearts belong to him!
Prayer: Loving Father, thank you for the confidence I have in Jesus! I know that whether I live till Jesus comes or if I were to die this day, I can have confidence that my future is with you because it is tied to Jesus' victory over death. Thank you for giving me a home with you as my ultimate future. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
Why do we call those grotesque figures on medieval buildings gargoyles?
Please don't misunderstand: At one time in the movies and on Broadway it was thought that all average Joe's pronounced girls, "goyles." But there's no gender reference here... the word applies to garboys as well as gargoyles. Gargoyles served a mundane purpose. Water ran off buildings into a gutter and from there flowed out through the gargoyle's mouth, which was actually a spout. In Latin, "gutter" is a word for throat. "Garg" is a Latin prefix that also means throat (think of the word "gargle"). Old French for throat was "gargouille," from which we get gargoyle. So, the most grotesque thing about gargoyles is that they spit water in public all day when it's raining. Just like my old Uncle Harry, who was the spitting image of a gargoyle, come to think of it.

NEWS KICKERS
(No news on the weekends.)
NEW NEWS KICKERS…
Many of Donald Trump's Twitter followers are, as it turns out, "bots.” *** Which is ironic, because you’d think it would be the Democrat ticket that was supported by mindless drones.
While only 20% of American adults are getting the recommended amount of exercise each week, almost 60% of us are eating out weekly. And fourteen percent of us dine out three times a week. ***Whoa,I’m not keeping up with the Joneses very well…I’m going to have to hit a drive-thru today…
If you could bring your dog or cat to work, would you take a pay cut? According to a survey of dog owners, 32% would if they could. ***I’m up for that–so long as my cat can do 32% of my work for me. "Get someopposable thumbs youfeline freeloader!"
New York City is looking into the closing of the atrium at Trump Tower for campaign events during the past year. It turns out that space is public property, and therefore, Donald Trump may have violated his deal with New York. ***Be looking for the follow-upstory on how Trump denies its his fault and that he’s firing yet someone else because of it.
The Florida Highway Patrol says an unidentified man jumped onto a woman’s car as she drove on a highway Tuesday night. The man remained on the hood for about a mile with a knife in his mouth until the woman saw troopers and pulled over. There was an altercation between the man and a trooper and the trooper used a stun gun to subdue the guy. The man was arrested and taken to a hospital for evaluation. ***Where doctors concluded he was obviously a pirate.
Charlie Sheen is said to be in trouble with American Express as AMEX is suing the troubled TV star for an unpaid $200-thousand in charges. ***Gee,I hope this doesn’t damage his reputation.
NEWS KICKER EVERGREENS…
Taking low doses of aspirin can reduce the risk of many kinds of cancer, and the evidence is strong enough to suggest people over 40 should take it daily as protection. According to some experts, while taking aspirin carries a small risk of stomach bleeding, that risk was beginning to be "drowned out" by its benefits in reducing the risk of cancer and the risk of heart attacks. ***MARLAR: Plus, if your stomach is bleeding, it won’t matter because you’re already taking aspirin for the pain!
British researchers say missing DNA may be to blame for severe obesity in some children. A study on 300 obese children found evidence that the lack of certain chunks of DNA may be promoting extreme weight gain. ***MARLAR: I knew being a fat slob wasn’t my fault; I just have a birth defect. Now where the heck are my Cheetos?!?
Evidence shows that drinking is bad for your image even if you don't open your mouth. Just holding a glass of alcohol makes you look stupid. It does not matter if you're male or female, or whether you drink beer or wine -- if people see you drinking, they think you're dumber than you'd otherwise appear." ***MARLAR: And if you’re drunk while listening to my show, you look like a complete moron.
Fifty-four percent of parents say they give their kids an allowance. And the average amount is $65 a month. Most parents say their kids earn their allowance by doing chores -- at least an hour a week. ***MARLAR: Wait a minute – I can earn $65 a month for working an hour a week? That’s $16.25 per hour. McDonald’s workers should quit and just go back home and live with their parents!
