A Moments Wisdom on Grace –I am nothing but a ripped fabric stitched together by God’s grace. –The fires of refinement come with a cost, but also with a promise. His grace has been extended to you for restoration, confirmation, strengthening, and to establish you in Him. –A sin confessed in humility and sorrow becomes a guilt removed by grace and love. –To find grace, we need not look so very far ahead. We need only look at the present…

Religious Ticks By Paul R. Blake When I was ten years old, I had a dog of dubious ancestry (a mutt) named Happy, and did his name ever fit him.

Social Addiction By Kent Heaton “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.

A Moments Wisdom –The most important trip you may take in life is meeting people half way. –High station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace. –The attempt to silence a man is the greatest honor you can bestow on him. It means that you recognize his superiority to yourself. –Love is what is left in a relationship after all the selfishness has been removed.

Raising Good Citizens By John Rosemond Many parents hope their kids will learn to be good citizens when they go to school; others believe that signing them up for a Scouts program will do the trick. What many parents don’t realize is that good character is learned in the home. The “3 Rs” of good citizenship– Respect, Responsibility, and Resourcefulness– are the bedrock of good character. A solid moral and ethical foundation supports the development of compassion, integrity, commitment, selflessness,…
