Inspire me....
…with some new musical artists that I should be listening to. I’ve had the same Pandora stations/iTunes playlists for entirely too long……
Which artists do you enjoy? Which bring a smile to your face every time you listen to them? Let me delight in them with you.
Cheers.

“There is only one relationship that matters, and that is your personal relationship to a personal Redeemer and Lord. Let everything else go, but maintain that at all costs, and God will fulfill His purpose through your life. One individual life may be of priceless value to God’s purposes, and yours may be that life.”
O. Chambers.

Christmas movies I should like to watch this...
The Grinch (2000): “Isn’t this antique darling? It’s handcrafted and almost 100 years old?” I used to watch this movie constantly, and in 5th grade, would quote it with my friend Brendan. It was awesome. We were awesome.

How to Treat Others: 5 Lessons from an Unknown...
1. First Important Lesson - “Know The Cleaning Lady” During my second month of college, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Surely this was some kind of joke. I had seen the cleaning woman several times. She was...

The Forgiveness Of God
Beware of the pleasant view of the Fatherhood of God - God is so kind and loving that of course He will forgive us. That sentiment has no place whatever in the New Testament. The only ground on which God can forgive us is the tremendous tragedy of the Cross of Christ; to put forgiveness on any other ground is unconscious blasphemy. The only ground on which God can forgive sin and reinstate...

Mom: Bye, honey. Don't talk to strangers!
Me: (jokingly, sarcastically) Unless they're cute, right?
Mom: (seriously) Right. And your age....well, a little older. Maybe 25, 26. Those ones you can bring home.

10 Rules for Being Human
1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.
2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”

N. T. Wright: "Simply Jesus" →
N. T. Wright came and spoke at my church yesterday. To say it was a phenomenal message would be an understatement. If you have the time and desire, watch his sermon on who Jesus is. I guarantee you won’t regret it.

Do you ever have those moments where jealousy surges through you about a specific person?
You see this person, and all you can see are the things they have accomplished (whereas, all you can say that you’ve done is … well … your homework. On a good day. Nursing major, remember?); you see their clothes and the way they dress (and look down at yourself and then realize you look...
