quotes

We are so busy giving our kids everything we didn't have, that we forget to give them what we did have.  -  Dr. Charles Dobson.
He was talking about raising young people.

Prevention is better than the cure.  - someone long ago.  .

He could have been talking about anything. How much better is it to NOT suffer from the ailment.  More recently, I'm not so sure that's best.  Through suffering, struggle and pain one grows and learn.  So much so the lessons are imprinted to his very core. 

No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace FOR those who have been trained by it.
Hebrews 12:11

Hi Guys,
  Don't know if you all are interested in attending a missions convention, but I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend going to this.  Go alone if you have too.  It is awesome!!
Urbana missions convention occurs every three years.  It brings young people together from 120 countries and over 20,000 attend.  They have excellent worship, teaching, and you get to meet and talk with missionaries(on furlough) from India, China, Korea, Africa, south America, central America.  From just everywhere.  You'll get a feel first hand how great and mightily God is working today.  How he leads His people across the world.
 
You will learn about missions(both domestic, foreign, urban and rural), apologetics, witnessing, and muchmore.  If you are into collecting Christians books, they have a great book store.  Books are marked down 10-50% off.  Just remember, books get heavy..:)
 
It'll transform your worldview of Christianity and missions.  It's a must for 18 to 25 year olds. 
AFN,
Lijoy
p.s Forward this to others, who you think might be interested.  I know others are.  I just don't have their emails.  BTW..It gets really expensive once you're out of college, so I recommend doing this now.

Stop dating your life..
Stop dating your family.
Stop dating your church. 
Stop dating the church.
Stop dating your community.
Commit.  
Commit to loving them.
Commit to sacriface for them.
Commit to be loyal.
Commit to see past your self. 
You'll receive more than you'll ever be able to give.

I can't tell you how many times plunging myself into the lives of my friends and the needy have given me freedom.  Freedom to appreciate, to enjoy, to hope, to love, and dream.

If all goes well, they'll start building our very custom home in a week or so. 
It's what grown ups do..they build homes, move into homes, pay mortgages.
 what's happened...what did we do to deserve such a blessing...

it should be ready in 4-5 months..just have the best builder and neighbors we could possibly have.  It's easy to tell it's God's will in a case like this.  Everything just fell together..Leny didn't worry..but me...I worry.  I like to think my gray hairs are from becoming wise..but I wonder.  Pappa keeps tellings me God takes care of His children..if we will just do our part and obey. 
truth.

Just watched LUTHER the movie.
http://www.lutherthemovie.com.au/

Don't know how much of it was fact and how much was entertainment, but definitely worth it for those of us who don't like to read books for fun.
