Christ-followers contract malaria, bury children, & battle addictions, & as a result, face fears.  It's not the absence of storms that sets us apart - its whom we discover in the storms - an unstirred Christ.
~Fearless, Max Lucado

Heroes & Monsters

Laughter is the evidence that we're still here, the proof that our tragedies will not define us forever.  Laughter is the language of the survivor.

Motivation is what mobilizes a pereson to perform an activity.  It's what moves us to undertake something with hope & makes us carry it out as we overcame obstacles that arise, by applying the necessary effort.

Mondays with my Old Pastor

We want our lives to be pure nectar without any problems...

A true winner is not someone who does not see difficulties but rather one who is not frightened by them & does not retreat or turn back.  That's why we can declare without fear of being wrong that difficulties are advantageous.  They product maturity & growth.  Every person needs a real storm in his life to make him understand how much he has worried about light showers & simple fleeting nonsense.

The important thing is not to flee from the storm but rather to have faith & trust that it will pass & will leave something good in our lives.
