So, you want to be like Christ? Me too. But that kind of godliness won't just happen by hanging around a church or thinking lofty thoughts three or four times a day or learning a few verses of Scripture. It will take more - much more. Disciplining ourselves will require the same kind of focused thinking and living that our Master modeled during His brief life on earth.

Home is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out the single most influential force in our earthly existence. No price tag can adequately reflect its value.

Only you can determine your choice of attitude. Choose wisely, choose carefully, choose confidently!

I let people see the cracks in my life. We can't be phony. We've got to keep it real.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.

God also allows suffering so that we might learn what it means to depend on Him, not on our own strength and resources.

Deep, contended joy comes from a place of complete security and confidence [in God] - even in the midst of trial.
