The Need to Worry
“The Lord has shown me that worry is my addiction.”

Regardless of Who Wins
“Our business on Election Day is brief, and regardless of who wins our work remains the same—seeking and serving the lost, losing our own lives in the doing, and clinging to the Cross that shatters nations, tribes, and creeds.” — Tony Woodlief
Do You Add to the Gloom?
From Barbara Johnson’s I Don’t Suffer From Insanity…I enjoy every minute of it calendar, something far less than insane:
| What kind of perspective do you bring to unpleasant situations?
Do you add to the gloom or introduce joy? Do you join in the grumbling or find something to laugh about? Do you follow our Lord’s example and lift the spirits of “those bent beneath their loads”? The Lord lifts the fallen and those bent beneath their loads. |
And two other verses I thought of on the subject of adding light rather than gloom:
| “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).
“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light” (Ephesians 5:8). |
I am both challenged and convicted.
Where Does the Time Go?
Where does the time go, Jesus?
We can’t seem to get everything done in one day.
Maybe we are trying to do too many things.
No matter how busy it gets, Jesus, help us to spend time with You every single day.
If we don’t, slow us down so we can.
Thank You, Jesus.
Amen.
I don’t know who said that. I think it may have been Marilyn Jansen.
