Summertime provides, along with the wonderful array of
outdoor activity, a great amount of time to just kick back the heels and ponder
life. Whether it is sitting on the beach, enjoying the cool of the evening on
the back deck, hiking through the wonder of God’s creation around us, or just
plain chillin, there is ample opportunity to think.
If we are honest with ourselves, for the most part life gets
to busy to stop and think. Some of the most profound ideas, concepts,
revelations come through the process of the simplest ideas and concepts. The
following phrases, quotes, etc. are from a collection that has passed by my
desk over the years. I encourage you to pause for a moment and let at least one
of these thoughts rattle around in your head for a while…

mixed up and permanently set.

smile.

folks want to serve God, but only as advisers.

create many jams.

you!

mark where God put a period.

couldn’t belong

strong men to take you to church
God grades on the cross, not
the curve.
The best math equation
ever: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.
Have a great summer and God bless.
