Oh, Life. What am I going to do with you? So much is riding on the decisions I need to be making soon.

From Jammin'
"What's your perspective, friend?
There's a Peanuts cartoon where Linus is curled up very quietly reading a book in a corner, and Lucy is standing in the background with a very funny fishy look on her face. And she turns and says to Linus, "It's very strange, it happens just by looking at you."
Linus turns around and asks, "What happens?"
Lucy, "I can feel a criticism coming on."
Apart from God's perspective, that is all you will feel coming on.
Your problem and my problem, it's not a critical/analytical thing. It's not because you're educated, it's not because you're Asian or not. It's not a East Coast thing or West Coast thing. It's not a cultural thing, it's not a biological thing. It's a sinful thing. All you feel is a criticism coming on.
Friend, when you and I look upon other people. When you think about the one who has hurt you the most, and all you see are the corrections to be made, you are lacking God's perspective. The proud, and therefore insecure, have a really difficult time, almost unable to identify and call out evidence of grace in other people because you're too preoccupied to inflate yourself. But God's perspective that rushes right through Apostle Paul shows you something altogether beautiful and different."
Pastor Harold, from Cerritos Presbyterian Church, going over 1 Corinthians: 1-9
my, my isn't this true?

From BRICKS
"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny."
