Finding Patience: God's Control in Life's Pressures
Are the horrible election campaign ads ever going to stop? Good grief…We live in a world that is going by so fast that finding patience is becoming a lost art. However, one of the best ways to be patient is to carry on with life, knowing God is in control...not you. I will say it one more time, “God is in control, not you.” “Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope,”Romans 5:3-4 I think we need to learn to love under pressure. To smile kindly when things around us are crumbling. After all, we’ve survived 100% of the things that has happened in our lives already, stands to reason we’ll probably make it through this too...Learn to endure, builds character. Be Nice, Grace Wins

Retreat or Restore
After our greatest failures, we want to hide. But hiding means nobody helps clean up the mess. Real men own up, confess, and let God cleanse. Retreat or repent and restore, what will you choose?

Nothing Nice to Say
Death and life are in the tongue. What comes out of the mouth flows from what's stored in the heart. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Turns out that was the whole thing.
