What Encourages YOU?
I’m taking a survey. I’m wondering what things encourage you? What lifts you when you’re down? What gives you courage to face the unfaceable? How do you find strength to do the impossible? What gets you off the bench of self-pity and back into the game of life? What is the adrenalin for your soul?…

Reverse the Cycle
“Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
