Consider this

  Loneliness is real and it is difficult. It is easy to feel as if no one cares. But there is a place where you are always welcome and always belong. 

   You have a choice.... every single day! Choose Joy!  

                    In 1986, Robert Fulghum wrote a book called, “All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten”.   The premise was that life would be better if adults remembered to be kind, share, help one another and clean up after themselves.     The book was a best seller and it is still in print twenty-five years later.                 That got me thinking that I should write a book called, “All that I Really Need to Know About God I Learned in Sunday School”.    Think about the lessons you learned there.                 I remember a flannel board covered with pictures of animals, a big ship, and a man and his family.   We were told how God looked after Noah and how, even after forty days and nights of rain, God protected him.   When it was over, God put a rainbow in the sky to remind us of his promise to never destroy the w

   Sort out 1/2 your problems and make someone's day with this one action  

   There is a lot of advice out there about how to get ahead... here is what Jesus said about it.
