hello CAROL, you'll be surprised a welcome greeting for you here at AAG is a joke-

WHAT'S A CHURCH?

A well-worn one-dollar bill and a similarly distressed twenty-dollar bill arrived at a Federal Reserve Bank to be retired. As they moved along the conveyor belt to be burned, they struck up a conversation. The twenty-dollar bill reminisced about its travels all over the country.

"I've had a pretty good life," the twenty-dollar bill proclaimed. "Why I've been to Las Vegas and Atlantic City , the finest restaurants in New York , performances on Broadway, and even a cruise to the Caribbean "

"Wow!" said the one-dollar bill. "You've really had an exciting life!"

"So tell me," says the twenty-dollar bill, "where have you been throughout your lifetime?"

The one dollar bill replies, "Oh, I've been to the Methodist Church , the Baptist Church, the Lutheran Church."

The twenty-dollar bill interrupts, "What's a church?"

In ancient days, slaves were bought and sold in the marketplace. A slave had no rights. He or she was auctioned, purchased, and owned by the highest bidder. We, in our unregenerate state, were slaves to sin, captive to the cravings of our flesh, rebels, and deserving of death. God in His kindness, saw our pitiful condition, had mercy on us, bought us with His own precious blood, and adopted us into His own family. "... knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct... but with the precious blood of Christ..." (1 Peter 1:18-19) When I think of the cross, the love demonstrated to me, a sinner, I am overwhelmed at the kindness of God and am renewed in my desire to live wholly for Him
