Sharing God's Unfailing Love Around The World.
Something To Think About (Page 58)
Helen Keller said: “When one door of happiness closes, another opens – but often we look so long at the closed door, we do not see the one that has opened for us.” I never did like the sound of a slamming door – it normally means something has gone wrong. Or a teenager!…
I wrote a song from an awesome verse in the Bible which says “Be still”. Think about it; Everywhere people shouting, horns honking, dogs barking, TVs blasting, alarms going off, police sirens screaming, cell phones ringing. Even if you put on noise cancelling head phones – the worrisome and anxious thoughts breakthrough and then…
So here we are in a brand new year, 2016. How are you doing with it? There’s a story of twin sisters who were over a hundred years old. Each morning they woke up; one said – “Oh yes Lord, another morning – thank you!” – the other said – “Oh no Lord, another…
George Bernard Shaw said: “We don’t stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing.” I thank God for Grandchildren. One of the great things they do, is remind you how to play. It is a true but often sad thing that the older we get, the more caught up…

Have you ever felt like a situation has just knocked you flat on your back? Or perhaps you made a mistake that landed you flat on your back? Listen, it’s ok to have landed on your back – because if you can look up – you can get up! We’ve all made mistakes…
Babe Ruth said: “Every strike brings me closer to the next home run.” Wow – what an amazing statement for Babe Ruth to make. He knew there’d be strikes – but he also knew there’d be another home run. This speaks of more than just his awesome talent as a baseball player, it also…
Anne Frank said: “Everyone has inside them a piece of good news.” This is so true – yet – the constant barrage of bad news that is taking place here in America and around the world, in many ways, seems to squash down, limit, and overshadow that good news. From terrorism, to crime, poverty…
