When I was a young boy, I learned in school that in the morning the sun did not actually rise. It just seems that way but in truth the earth bows each morning before the sun and that had never dawned on me so imagine my surprise! Now I am not suggesting sun worship as other have done. It shows the earth knows and remembers there is another who gives it life and honor should be given to that one. What a fine example it sets for us to do the same. We should bow and thank God each and every every morning for giving us life through his Son ,Jesus, and praise his mighty name. GKG

People who inspire others are those who see invisible bridges at the end of dead-end streets. Charles Swindoll
I'm just maverick to say that I think fewer Christians ought to be going into the ministry and more should be going into business and into occupations that have nothing to do with the vocational service. I don't see life divided into public and private, secular and sacred. It's all an open place of service before our God. My hope is to see ...a group of Christians who will infiltrate our society- in fact, our entire world-with a pure ,beautiful message of grace an honesty in the marketplace. Charles Swindoll
Collapse in the Christian life is seldom a blowout ; it is usually a slow leak. Paul Little
