No Talent?

Too often we say, "I have no talent to teach a Sunday school class." "My home is not nice enough to have a Bible study here." "I don't cook well enough to help with Meals on Wheels." "I'm a businessman, not a carpenter. I wouldn't know the first thing about building a house for Habitat for Humanity." When we step out in faith and offer all we have, God will use it in powerful ways. How much is enough? Just what we have when God is with us!

An Eleven Year Old's Thought of the Day

Thought of the Day:

"What if HIS love and healing came from the sun? Then we wouldn't prosper because there are always days without the sun. But there are NEVER days without the SON. And THAT is the source of HIS love and healing."

Meaning of Life

"Spiritual pride is the illusion that you are competant to run your own life, achieve your own sense of self worth, and find a purpose big enough to give you meaning in life without God." ~ Tim Keller

Too Weak...

It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too week. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.

Exploration

"We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know it for the first time."
