Random Thoughts on a Busy Week

 

BREAKDOWN
My son's pickup broke down in Ekalaka Montana. Population 400. Great people. Helped him out. Gave him a place to stay. Fixed the truck. Back on the road today. Small town America still has the home touch. Thank you.

YOUNG MARRIEDS
I met a group of singles and young parents last night. They're studying the bible together. I loved listening to their comments as the banter went back and forth. I appreciate their sincerity as they build together a spiritual foundation for living in a broken world. Beautiful connection.

LIES
The truth will set us free. We as a society must uproot the lies that sabotage what is right--like errant weeds in a vegetable patch--to lay claim to the truth that stands supreme above all else.

LIGHT
Come out of the darkness into the light. The light of the world is Jesus.

BEAUTY
Do you want beauty that lasts? Any woman can be beautiful her whole life. The inner self shines to the outer self. I Peter 3:3-4 says it well, "Your beauty . . . should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight." The essence of beauty originates from within.
