The 2 Greatest

Safety.  It's a multi-billion dollar business and the concern of every thinking person.  And we fear our fear will only increase because we believe the world is ever becoming LESS safe.  But what if we ARE safe?

It's easy to buy the lie that if I could just (fill in the blank here which something BIG), then I'd be truly happy.  The truth is, happiness comes in the little things.

There's a real danger is saying everything that comes to our minds.  It can damage relationship in ways that can't be repaired.  Sometimes it's best to say nothing at all.

Where, who or what is your En Gedi?  Your place of refreshment.  When you find it--take the opportunity it gives you before it's too late!

There are the unnoticed, unsung heroes of our lives.  The people who loved us, gave to us, encouraged us, protected us in ways the world will never know.  But we wouldn't be who we are without them.  Today, let's thanks God for them.

People know when they are loved and when others are only pretending to love them.  And the pain of being loved less is too often part of our life-long burden.  May God heal our wounds when someone else was loved more.

Have you ever been disciplined? YES!  But have you ever been disciplined BY GOD?  If so, what was it like and what was the purpose--condemnation or correction?

Aren't we kind of proud of ourselves when we can list off all the things we are busy with?  It makes us feel important.  But what's the motivation behind our busyness?  How does that differ from hurriedness? 

Lots of folks can nap and love it.  But it takes FAITH to nap in a storm.
