If you believe the news stories from around the world, they would have you believe that danger lurks around every corner, and that we live in division. Turn the news off. Yes, it’s true that you cannot legislate evil out of the hearts of mankind, but I believe in the goodness of people. I see acts of kindness every day. Simple acts that help, not hurt. Get away from the negative. If something big happens, you will hear about it. Pursue what brings light and life into your life…

Faith…
All of us show faith every day. If we get on a jet airplane, we trust the pilot knows how to fly. We pump gas into our cars without verifying it really is gasoline and not water. Let’s trust our Creator, who is good, to provide what we need. He’s always awake, and never tired of hearing our prayers. Have faith, not doubts…
Humor…
Find a reason to laugh every day. It’s good for you, and laughter won’t make you gain weight!
Uncommon Courage…
We love stories of bravery and courage. Remember when George McFly punched out Biff? He found uncommon courage in himself to defend the love of his life, overcoming odds in the process. We love these stories because it’s our story. We see a bit of ourselves in the uncommon hero…
Change. Really?
Fifty years ago, the band Ten Years After released a song titled “I’d Love to Change The World.” In the lyrics, they talk of noble ideas such as feed the poor, stop war, and eliminate pollution. Yet, in the chorus the lyricist wrote, “I’d love to change the world, but I don’t know what to do.”
These world challenges are huge, almost overwhelming. But I believe we can do something about them. Change begins when we are willing to do something. Change begins with me…
Self-Sufficiency…
It’s a challenge to remain humble in a culture that screams, “look at me.” When we consider and understand that everything good comes to us from God, we realize we aren’t self-sufficient. It’s not us. It’s Him…
The Mind…
Our thoughts can lead us astray, but don’t let this dishearten you. We have control over our thoughts. It begins with our attitude…
Greed…
In the movie, “Wall Street,” the main character told us that “greed is good.” By definition, greed means a selfish desire for wealth and power. There is nothing wrong with wealth and power until you throw selfishness into the mix. Keep your motives true and noble, and should you start feeling selfish, give away what you have accumulated.
