God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.

When each elder or pastor has his will aligned with the Lord's, we waste no time arguing for our own.

Ours is a bad, bad world, but does that mean nothing's good? Does it mean we have run out of things for which to be grateful? No, no, a thousand times, no!

When you pray, pray so that you may know Him. When you seek to simplify, do it as a means of knowing Him more. When you surrender, or behave with humility or sacrifice, do it with the sole purpose in mind to know Him.

No, the thing that makes for greatness is determination, persisting in the right direction over the long haul, following your dream, staying at the task.

When God is involved, anything can happen. Be open. Stay that way. God has a beautiful way of bringing good vibrations out of broken chords.

Choose to view life through God's eyes.
