“There are two circumstances that lead to arrogance: one is when you’re wrong and you can’t face it; the other is when you’re right and nobody else can face it.” (Unknown) “For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but …
God can use small things to accomplish much. ..a small lunch of five loaves and two fish, a teenager with a stone and slingshot and perhaps a prayer or act of kindness from us. We are not too small to be used by God and for His purpose. Let’s make ourselves available today. “Now to …
God has an assignment for you today. If you don’t do it, it won’t get done. Perhaps your assignment today is to encourage someone at work, thank someone who has been a friend through thick or thin, or stand up for someone who is being mistreated. Ask God to show your assignment to you so …

More on gratitude… This quote by John Maxwell will be as deep and meaningful as we want it to be. Or, it can be as inconsequential as we want it to be. “What we appreciate appreciates.

I played minor league baseball long before cell phones, video games and TV monitors on the bus. The long bus rides were boring to say the least. There was also a lot of “down time” each day before night games. There was no Baseball Chapel and hardly a mention of God unless His name was …
