"This one thing I do:
Forgetting what lies behind & straining forward to what lies ahead.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 3:13B-14
If well thou hast begun, go on;
it is the end that crowns us,
not the fight.
~Robert Herrick~
“I'm not saying that I have this all together,
that I have it made.
But I am well on my way,
reaching out for Christ,
who has so wondrously reached out for me.
Friends, don't get me wrong:
By no means do I consider myself an expert in all of this,
but I've got my eye on the goal where God is beckoning us onward ~
to Jesus.
I'm off & running,
& I'm not turning back.”
Phillipians 3:12 - 14

"I asked to come speak to you today because what I went through was a form of bullying. Bullying can be physical abuse, where you're pushed or shoved, or tripped, or hit, & it can be emotional abuse, where you're called names, made fun of, or gossiped about, like what I went through. Both kinds hurt, & can leave scars."
"I've overcome a lot in my life. I'm not a vegetable, like the doctors first predicted. Jesus gave me back a sound mind, & I'm able to think clearly. Although the doctors ... Continue reading...

Truth,
Righteousness,
Peace,
Faith,
&
Salvation
are more than words.
Learn how to apply them.
You'll need them throughout your life.
God's Word is an indispensable weapon.
In the same way,
prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare.
Pray
Hard
And
Long.

"I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another." John 13:34
What does love look like?
It has hands to help others.
It has feet to hasten to the poor & needy.
It has eyes to see misery & want.
It has the ears to hear sighs & sorrows.
That is what love looks like.
~St Augustine Continue reading...

"Forget about deciding what's right for each other. Here's what you need to be concerned about:
That you don't get in the way of someone else, making life more difficult than it already is.
I'm convinced ~ Jesus convinced me! ~ that everything as it is in itself is holy. We, of course, by the way we treat it or talk about it, can contaminate it."
Romans 14:13-14 Today I ask for forgiveness for the unloving thoughts & feelings I've been having lately about the unfairness of this world. How, in ... Continue reading...

Love...
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.
Love never dies.

"Love is patient;
Love is kind;
Love is not envious
or boastful
or arrogant
or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
It is not irritable or resentful;
It does not rejoice in wrongdoing,
but rejoices in the truth.
It bears all things,
Believes all things,
Hopes all things,
Endures all things." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7... Continue reading...

"For my part, I am going to boast about nothing but the Cross of our Master, Jesus Christ. Because of that Cross, I have been crucified in relation to the world, set free from the stifling atmosphere of pleasing others & fitting into the little patterns they dictate. Can't you see the central issue in all this? It is not what you & I do...it is what God is doing, & He is creating something totally new, a free life!" Galatians 6:14 - 15 Good to know, Especially for those who feel, For one r... Continue reading...
