(1) To quote Bob (the Tomato) & Larry (the Cucumber), "God made me special, and He loves me very much." Dear Reader, He made you special, too, and loves you to death. Literally.
(2) Leadership, as summed up by John Piper: "The aim of leadership is not to demonstrate the superiority of the leader, but to bring out all the strengths of people." Leadership...well, it just isn't about me.
(3) One of the most significant things I can do in a day is to encourage someone to keep going & to never quit...starting with myself.
(4) Wondering what the difference between regular vanilla & french vanilla ice cream is? It's eggs! Who knew?
(5) Redemption happens everyday. Grace really is enough for me.
(6) Rest is as absolutely essential to my relationship with God as any other spiritual discipline.
(7) As far as family goes, well, I am just very blessed.
(8) An Americano with a shot of vanilla & some half/half is almost as good as a latte, and about $1.50 cheaper.
(9) Chase the dream. God planted it in you for a reason. Don't squelch it. Don't deny it. And, don't fear it.
(10) Narrow the focus: It is better to be an inch wide and a mile deep, that a mile wide and an inch deep.
(11) The Gospel is the answer to every problem I'll ever face in this life.
(12) Keep the main thing the main thing (and the main thing ain't me!). I would rather die a faithful "nobody" to this world, than an unfaithful "somebody."
(13) Money doesn't grow on trees. Oh, were that it did...
(14) Feeling inadequate in what you do? Don't sulk, don't pout - get better.
(15) Dear single Christian, enjoy this time...value it...it is not a punishment from God...it is a gift.
(16) Sometimes, you just need a quick run in the rain.
(17) Preparation precedes opportunity.
(18) Integrity beats talent...every time. If not at first, then eventually.
(19) Treasure the time with your loved ones before you find yourself wishing you had treasured it.
(20) Oh, that pesky humility: "Humility is not something you have until humbling yourself is something you do." -Beth Moore / /Do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not. -Jeremiah 45:5 // Jesus came as a baby in a manger...worked as a carpenter... and "took on the very nature of a servant."
(21) The minute you look next door at your neighbor's life, is the minute you lose sight of the Savior. He has a unique plan for me.
(22) "Follow your heart" is absolutely THE worst advice anyone could ever give you. Your heart is decpetively wicked above all things. Follow Christ, because he is greater than your heart.
(23) Love is patient, love is kind...it is not rude nor self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Let's love like this.
(24) Patience is a virtue. Sometimes, God just says wait.
(25) And, lastly, live the moment, don't always long for the past or wish for the future. Just enjoy the here and now. It will be gone all too soon.
