  • Mental Preparation

    bible.com/bible/116/1pe.1.13.NLT

    “So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.”

    ‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1:13‬ ‭NLT‬‬

    Most of my life I feel like I’ve been on autopilot. I haven’t been utilizing the mind God has given me. Even so, I’ve gotten to be in some great institutions and amongst some great people. This is encouragement to get engaged and be aware.

    PS: This isn’t a photo post, but I figured this is the most appropriate place since this is my blog. Twitter allows only so many characters.

    Until next time.

  • I Have a Dream

    “Now is the time to open the doors of opportunity to all of God’s children …
    I have a dream that one day … the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
    This will be the day when all of God’s children will be able to sing with new meaning,
    ‘My country ’tis of thee,
    Sweet land of liberty,
    Of thee I sing.
    Land where my fathers died,
    Land of the Pilgrims’ pride,
    From every mountainside,
    Let freedom ring.’
    When we let freedom ring … we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,
    ‘Free at last!
    Free at last!
    Thank God Almighty,
    We are free at last!’”
    – Martin Luther King, Jr.  from the world-renowned “I Have a Dream” speech in Washington, D.C.

  • Meditation Verse

    For God did not give us a spirit of timidity or cowardice or fear, but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of sound judgment and personal discipline [abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control].

    – 2 Timothy 1:7
