Worry

Worry is like a rocking chair: it gives you something to do, but it gets you nowhere. - Erma Bombeck 

Why God, Why?

"Why God, Why?"
Can I ask such a question,
When my life is at a pause.
Did I ever ask him,
"Why God, Why?"
When I got what I wanted,
Often beyond my wildest dreams and hopes.
No, I never asked him "Why?"
When all was well.
Now, I won't ask him Why,
When my life is at a pause.

Gospel - to be respected

You cannot do much for the gospel for it to be believed, but certainly, you can do much for it to be respected - by a Christian theologian (from Larry Taunton's The Faith of Christopher Hitchens").

What's wrong with the world?

G. K. Chesterton once participated in a writing contest - 'what's wrong with the world?' G.K wrote two words & won it. He wrote, "I am".

Two Kinds of People

C.S.Lewis in the book, Great Divorce, suggests that there are two kinds of people. One, who says to God, "Thy will be done", and the other, to whom God says, "Thy will be done".

What kind of Christian do you want to be?

A prayer wall

At the church we attended today, we saw a prayer wall. People can stick their prayer requests here, or simply if you have none, you could go there and pray for some of the requests. The prayer needs range from personal to family to social issues. 

"My marriage will fall apart but for you"

"I have depression. Help me God."

"My children have cancer. Help relieve the pain."

"My grandchild to be born healthy."

"For the spirit of unity in my family."

What an amazing way to be together in one spirit. A prayer wall!

Two Great days

William Barclay once said - "there are two important days in a person's life. The day he was born. And the day he discovers why."
