Foggy, Wintry Morning
Mid-February Remember that God values you for who you are, not what you do. The difference between mediocre and excellent is usually a very small amount of effort. To belittle is to be little. Be one who says positive things about others. Be loyal to your spouse. Express admiration in public.

Things I See Outside Our Kitchen Window

Sunrise – Sunset
Early February The next time you are in church, sit in a front row. You will be amazed at how much more you will learn. Pray with perseverance and expectancy. Pick a passage or chapter of the Bible and memorize it. Put loose change in a jar – when full donate to a charity. You […]
