The one thing we can change
Proverbs 24:5
This may shock you, but I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude.
It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me, or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.

Verse of the day: June 29
Psalm 138:8
The Lord will vindicate me; your love, Lord, endures forever—do not abandon the works of your hands.

Absolute Silence
Zephaniah 3:17
I am more convinced than ever that there is no way you and I can move toward a deeper, intimate relationship with our God without protracted times of stillness, which includes one of the rarest at all experiences: absolute silence.
