I wanted to put this out there for both of you guys who read my blog… I am really proud of our partners Josh and Abby because of the awesome work they are doing and the way they are documenting it on their blog.

I got a call yesterday. A friend called to ask if I was okay and asked about lunch. I turned down the lunch due to time constraints. This was no big thing he did, he just called. But he essentially said, I know you’re going through a tough patch right now and I wanted to know if you were okay.

This meant a lot to me.

Who do you know that is going through a tough patch… in the post below it is a simple handshake… could you encourage someone right now? Maybe not a handshake, but a text message (SMS), an e-mail, a phone call… you know what to do…

Would you make a small gesture to someone right now… extend a hand of encouragement…

Jesus did (image below in previous post)

Boss 2 (you figure it out) was telling me about this cute preschooler with an ipad. Touching and swiping, face all cute as the preschooler concentrated on the screen.

Turns out here in the US its “Screen-Free Week” or something like that. Of course neither you the reader nor I the writer are participating. But I did hear a thing on the radio where an activist was warning parents about too much screen time for preschoolers.

All this reminded me of a article I read that is worth your consideration. Listen, don’t just blow this off like it doesn’t matter. This is your child’s brain we’re talking about here.

Do some research. Buy some actual books and sit and read to your preschools instead of handing them a tablet or smartphone to babysit them. Don’t take my rant for it, read someone smart and thoughtful. Click here to give this a read. 

noooo, not the TV show. After dinner last night the wise, discerning and Sweet Anna said “Today is over, never to be again”

Whoa.

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. (Ephesians 5:15-16, ESV)

so, are there things we have said? ways that we have said them? ways we have treated others?

Jesus teaches us…

23 So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift. (Matthew 5:23-24, ESV)

If we treat people flippantly, we are showing not just a disrespect for them but the ugly state of our own heart.

“it is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of the mouth; this defiles a person.” – Jesus. (Matthew 15.11 ESV)

Let’s RUN to Scripture!

Soak in the life giving word as God uses it in His work of changing the hearts of we, who He calls precious! (Isa 43.4)
