| Article Title :: Everyday is a Gift, Open and Enjoy It |
| |
| There is a bottle of perfume sitting on my dresser that I was given when I was ten years old! As you can tell I have pack rat tendencies! For me that pattern started as a young child. I could never bear to throw things away. There was more to it than not wanting to throw things away. I loved the feeling I had when I would receive something new, and would not want to spoil it by using it unless it was for something special. I would want to save it for a special occasion. A new dress would sit in the closet, until a special event to wear it. Perfume would sit on my dresser, not to be used for everyday, but for a special ‘something’. This was a pattern in my life for many years.P (read full article) |

| Article Title :: He Who Laughs...Lasts---Where Has All The Laughter Gone? |
| |
| I love to watch people at airports, malls and even
at our church. I wonder, what got them here? What
attracted those two people to be together at this
time? What makes that one tick or that one over
there work so hard? And sadly, I wonder where has
all the laughter gone?Studies show that children laugh approximately 400
times per day while adults laugh as little as 15
times a day. Studies also show that laughter helps
lower blood pressure, strengthens immune systems,
and helps lower stress hormones. There are no
known studies of negative side effects to
laughter. No wonder we have a health crisis on our
hands. But, my question is, "What does it do to
the Spirit?"I may be wro (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Tim McGraw had it Right - Live Like You Are Dying! |
| |
| Chorus:
An' he said: "I went ski diving, I went rocky
mountain climbing,
"I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu
Man Chu"
"And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter,
"And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying."
An he said: "Some day, I hope you get the chance,
"To live like you were dyin'."One of the latest songs by Tim McGraw talks about
a man in his forties with cancer. Who began to
live his life has if he had only days to live. And
all he hope for others was, "Someday, I hope you
get the chance, to live like you were dying." Are
you? Are you living a life like you are dying? I
don't mean in the physical sense, how about the
spiritual realm. The bible talks about dying to

| Article Title :: My name is Smarty Jones -- Embracing God's Glory |
| |
| Our deepest fear us not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond
measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that
most frightens us…..We are born to manifest the
glory of God that is within us….And as we let our
own light shine, we unconsciously give other
people permission to do the same.Nelson MandelaToday more than ever we live in times of public
murder via internet and the awareness of the dirty
little secrets of wartime interrogation. Yet, this
weekend we as a country got a breathe of fresh air
by watching a little horse letting go of his
inadequacy's and race around a dirt track looking
for his one shot at Glory. If a nation is so

| Article Title :: Play It Forward --Living A Life You've Always Wanted! |
| |
| What would your life be like if you lived each
event backwards? If you knew what was coming in
your life next how would you react?John Eldredge writes in his book Waking the Dead,
"God what do you have for my heart today?" He
continues by saying, "you may be stunned by what
he guides you into. I began the day at six in the
morning asking God, "What do you have for my heart
today Lord." I had a few minutes to spare this
morning (very unusual) so I had a cup of coffee at
Starbucks. During that time a brain storm came to
me and I wrote feverously for thirty minutes,
jumped in the car and decided to take a tour of
the new Wal-Mart food store in St. Matthews as I
headed back to work. W (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Purpose filled Live's --The Big Picture! |
| |
| "Can't see the forest because of the trees," heard
it all my life, didn't really understand it until
I jumped out of a plane though.Last week I told you I went ski diving. Once the
parachute opened I allowed myself to enjoy the
ride. One thing I noticed was how thick the forest
was below, how green the trees were and what
things seemed close were in reality miles away.
However, on the ground you wouldn't be able to see
fifty feet in front of you because of all the
limbs and bushes. And with that I realized how
short sighted I had become, not only my vision,
but also in my thinking. This tree, that tree,
watch out for that poison oak, oh look out for
that hole. After a while, where (read full article) |

| |
| In the popular movie, "Remember the Titans" most
of us most likely can recall our favorite scene.
Do you remember this one?The first challenge of the coach was to get the
community to break up the racial divide and pull
together. So the head coach (played by Densel
Washington) decides to take his players away to
camp. Even with the change of environment racial
barriers still stood tall and tension were high.
After the first few days the coach noticed the
communication between the black and white players
had not improved in the least, matter of fact it
was getting worse. The players were not executing
their plays, mistakes were made purposely in order
to make others look bad and as (read full article) |

| This week I did a radical thing. I bought a newspaper.I bought it to read about the events happening in London. I lived there for many years and have friends I love there. It has a very special place in my heart.We now live in a world where small numbers of people can cause havoc and create fear within the hearts of so many. This is now particularly true of people living in major cities of the world. Individually, we might wonder what the world is coming to. Individually, we may think that there is little or nothing we can do.There are those in the world who will tell you that the present situation is a prelude to Armageddon.

| All of us are resistant to change, whether it's in using a different tool, a technique a choice in partners, or lifestyle.The ones that resist the most have big labels like, orthodox, traditionalist, extremist. They are the defenders of the faith, of the known, and of the accepted.Some of the rest of us are followers, disciples, and supporters; we are the middleman, the ones that support the orthodox, the traditionalist and the extremist because after all without us what would these people be defending. We are the ones the cast the deciding vote for this group and the next group which are the leaders, the explorers and the visionaries.All of these people are grouped t (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Flaming Fire Within Our Bones |
| |
| Jeremiah was certainly one of the most distinguished notables of the Old Testament. To read his messages and experiences is to become acquainted with a great servant of God. I believe he revealed more of his inner feelings and personal reactions toward God and man, than did any other prophet or prophetess in Old Testament times. He was a young man of approximately 21 years of age when he accepted his divine calling to minister to the nations.But Jeremiah lived in very bad times, times not too unlike our own. On the political front there was a great power struggle going on between the super structures. Assyria had occupied the leadership for some three centuries but now, she was wea (read full article) |
