Today’s Quote: “People don’t fail because they aim too high and miss, but because they aim too low and hit.” Les Brown
Today’s Thanks: Angie loves her work. I am so thankful that my wife loves what she does every day! It gives her great satisfaction and is so committed to it. It stretches her, keeps her on her toes, and utilizes her best talent. And she absolutely loves her students, and they love her! And I get to enjoy good music!
Today’s Verse: “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16 – 17.

Today’s Christian Song: Take Me to the End of the World by Greg X. Volz

Today’s Quote: “Your life begins to change when you change something you do every day.” John C. Maxwell
Today’s Thanks: Color. Isn’t God amazing? He could have created a world and left it in black and white. We would never have known! Or just one color. But He created all these colors and variations, and then gave us the understanding to appreciate them! Having trouble with my eyesight lately, I am determined never to take something beautifully colored for granted again!
Today’s Verse: “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” John 15:5.

Today’s Christian Song: Be Ye Glad by Glad

Today’s Quote: “Where you will be five years from now largely depends on two things: the books you read and the people you hang around.” Charles “Tremendous” Jones
Today’s Thanks: Living in the South. I am so thankful to live in a place that is not quite so frantic, it has it’s own charm and hospitality, and although we are not on the straight and narrow, we are definitely conservative. Rankin County, MS might be the most conservative county in the United States! I will devote a day later on to living in America, the home of the free, but today I am thankful not to live in another part of this great country. (Except maybe the mountains, the ski slopes, or of course, DALLAS!)
Today’s Verse: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus” Romans 8:1.

Today’s Christian Song:  Stand Up by Petra; the first Christian rock song I ever heard by the first Christian rock band I ever heard.  I remember clear as day in college walking into New Life Supply in Columbus, just dying to try to find anything that sounded good, that had a Christian message.  I saw the album (yes, the vinyl record) that had the spaceship on it, and the rest, as they say, is history.  Haha!

Today’s Quote:  “The value of anything can be determined by how much of your time and life you are willing to trade for it.” 

Today’s Thanks:  Technology.  As I was fooling with an old laptop at work today, we began talking about how far things have come since I was in college in the 80’s.  I am so thankful that today I can go to the internet, type out a document, work with a spreadsheet and do most anything from in front of a PC or laptop.  Amazing, and I take it for granted.  It really has changed the way we live our lives. 

Today’s Verse:  “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”  2 Peter 1:3.

Today’s Quote: “We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” Mahatma Ghandi

Today’s Thanks: For my house. It may not be a mansion in the suberbs, but it is enough to give us decent shelter. Most of the world doesn’t have decent shelter. And we have a lot of square footage, which I am thankful for since we have 2 kids, 1 mother and 3 dogs living here! AND all our junk!

Today’s Verse: “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:13 -16.

Today’s Christian Song: Let Him Help You Today by DeGarmo & Key

Today’s Quote: “You are where you are and what you are because of the dominating thoughts that occupy your mind.”  John C. Maxwell

Today’s Verse: “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart” Jeremiah 29:11 – 13.

I’m glad Saturdays come around every 7 days!  It would be better if there was nothing going on, but I’ll take sleeping in a little as a wonderful gift!

God bless you!
