Look Back Will Be Back Next Saturday

It has been a busy week, with school almost over. I have a wonderful wedding to attend today.   If you have not had a chance to read my post below I would love your thoughts.  Between my blog here and on Facebook there has been a lot of great comments.

    Speaking of which if you are on Facebook, I would love to be your Facebook friend (Lori Kasbeer).
    Have you added yourself to “My Friends by the Blog Frog?”  The wonderful thing about this widget (located below Blogher on left hand side) is that it benefits YOUIt brings traffic to YOUR site.

I leave you with this great quote:

“Jesus does not say, ‘Come to me, all you who have learned how to concentrate in prayer, whose minds no longer wander, and I will give you rest.’ No, Jesus opens his arms to his needy children and says, ‘Come to me, all who are weary and heaven-laden, and I will give you rest.’

The criteria for coming to Jesus is messiness. Come overwhelmed with life. Come with your wandering mind. Come messy.”

—Paul Miller, A Praying Life (Colorado Springs, CO: NavPress 2009), 31-32 (ht)

If I fail to See My Own Faults

“My faults are deeper then I care to imagine, but I will never see the need others really have until I dare to consider my own true nature. If I do not consider my own causes for shame, I will judge others instead of loving them. I will distance myself from them instead of recognizing how our mutual needs unite us. I will look down on them instead of embracing them. I will stand aloof, rather than eye to eye. If I stop seeing the person I really am in my mirror, I will stop seeing the faces of others; and then the care that is the vehicle of the Gospel will not flow from me.” Bryan Chapell in The Wonder of it All
