random quotes


Here are some random Bible verses and quotes that inspire me.  Thought you might need some truth infused in to your day as I do:

Psalm 139:23-24  NASB
Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way.

You need to have faith in who you were created to be. Be brave and take risks. You don't have to have it all figured out to move forward. – Michael Robinson

Colossians 3:2  NASB
Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.

I hope that none of you think that you have more grace than you need, because you 
have not. You may, possibly, have as much grace as will last you through to-day; but 
you will need as much as that to-morrow morning, if not more.  – Charles H. Spurgeon

1 Peter 5:6  NASB
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

Whoever shows up most in a person’s life wins the battle of influence.  – Matthew Barnett

Galatians 5:13  NASB
For you were called to freedom, brethren; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.


People I am praying for:

Pray for our family and others dealing with sickness, especially a stomach bug, and our girls who are away at college have been sick.  Continue to pray for Heather Morrill’s family as her grandfather passed away and for Jay Gilbert’s family as his mom passed away.  Pray for Jamie Foley and his dad.

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
