Our Gang"

Paul said...

Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

To fear the Lord is to hate evil;
I hate pride and arrogance,
evil behavior and perverse speech.

Proverbs 8:13

There'll be no war
And there'll be no chains
When Jesus comes
Let today be the day
He'll come for the weak
And the strong just the same
And all will believe
In the power of His name

Spring bursts today, For Christ is risen and all the earth's at play."

Christina Rossetti

Since God speaks to us in the depths of our hearts, we must listen to our hearts and not merely just our heads.

Richard J. Hauser

Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.

A bad attitude is like a flat tire--you can't go anywhere until you fix it!

“I, wisdom, dwell together with prudence;
I possess knowledge and discretion.
Proverbs 8:12

Choose my instruction instead of silver,
knowledge rather than choice gold,
for wisdom is more precious than rubies,
and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Proverbs 8:10,11

Listen as wisdom calls out. Let me give you common sense. O foolish ones, Let me give you understanding.

Proverbs 8:1,5

Oh-oh, this is your invitation
Oh-oh, no more lost and alone
Oh-oh, this is your invitation
Hear your Father sayin', "Welcome home"

Come on down to the Living Water
Waves of mercy washin' over you
No more strangers, only sons and daughters
Come down to the Living Water and rise up new

Jesus said...

My prayer is not for the world, but for those You have given me, because they belong to You.

Love wisdom like a sister; make insight a beloved member of your family.

Proverbs 7:4

Dear Lord, it feels good and right when we do Your will. When our priorities match Your priorities, our values match You values, our sense of community matches Your sense of community.Amen

Because the Earth is moving 65,000 MPH around the sun, you are now looking at a different part of the universe than you did just a few minutes ago. Allow yourself to be awed by how vast and yet how supportive life is.

If you punish a mocker, the simpleminded will learn a lesson; if you correct the wise, they will be all the wiser.

Proverbs 19:25

Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

Nothing teaches you something like screwing it up.

“It is not enough to be industrious; so are the ants. What are you industrious about?”

Henry David Thoreau

I am weak but Thou art strong

When life's sun sinks in the west
Lord, may I have done my best
May I find sweet peace and rest
In that happy home of the blessed

"Our Adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in "muchness" and "manyness, " he will rest satisfied."

Richard J. Foster

"Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest."

Jesus

“We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Teilhard de Chardin

And now I'm satisfied, satisfied
I've been cared for so faithfully
But Lord hear my plea, may it be
That You're satisfied with me

You Could Be Richer than You Think

by Bob Lotich

Maybe you’ve got more than you realized. Maybe, in fact, you’ve already got all you need to be happy.

John D. Rockefeller founded the Standard Oil Company in 1870. He was the first American billionaire and one of the richest men to ever walk this earth. When I first learned of his story and the magnitude of his wealth, I couldn’t help but imagine the luxurious extremes that his wealth would have provided for him.

As wealthy as he was, Rockefeller could have had anything that money could buy. His servants could have had servants who had servants. He probably could have bought every book that had ever been written for his personal library. He could have been hand-fed grapes while receiving a foot massage every time he traveled. Who knows?

I am sure many people today wish they could have walked in his shoes. But if somehow they could, I think most of us would find it to be quite eye-opening.

As I thought about the luxuries his wealth would have provided him, something caught my attention. There were actually some things that I enjoy on a daily basis that he wasn’t able to enjoy. In fact, upon thinking about it, there was a whole lot that I took for granted that he couldn’t have bought with all of his wealth.

He might have had every book known to humankind in his library, but I have Google. I have access to far more information—for free—than he could have ever dreamed of.

He might have had servants following him around, fanning him everywhere he went, but I have central air conditioning. I can push a button and change the temperature of the room to whatever I desire.

He might have had a personal chef making each and every meal of his, but his food options were just a drop in the bucket compared to those at the grocery store I walk into each week.

He might have been riding in the most luxurious carriage, but even my 10-year-old car looks pretty nice compared to a horse and buggy.

He could have ridden the fastest trains at the time, but today, for just a few hundred dollars, I can hop on a plane and get across the country at least three times as fast as he ever could have.

Jesus said...
surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

“There is enough for our need but not for our greed.”

Gandhi

Some people are too lazy to lift a hand to feed themselves.

Proverbs 9:24

When you’re losing your mind, only lose the parts that need losing.
