FOOD FOR THOUGHT ... AND DEEPER DISCIPLESHIP

Balance is a myth. It is a debilitating myth. Life is made of rhythms. You must learn the rhythm of life in ministry, profession, and family. But don't use this an excuse to abuse any of these. - Reggie McNeal   

 From an unknown author:
Lord, I am willing
To receive what You give;
To lack what You withhold;
To relinquish what You take;
...To suffer what You inflict;
To be what You require.
And to do what You send me to do. - AUTHOR UNKNOWN

"The most consistent way to challenge the destructive forces in popular culture is to live contrary to them-to actually be the change we want to see." Right Here, Right Now, Alan Hirsch and Lance Ford
