My Brother-In-Law, Bob, Works In The San Angelo ...
Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Nov 25, 2008 (message contributor)
My brother-in-law, Bob, works in the San Angelo school district. He said one day a bunch of the staff were car-pooling from one place to another for a meeting. When he got in his truck, a guy he didn't even know jumped in the passenger seat and said, "I'm riding with you. You're the only one of these guys who doesn't complain about everything!"
You want to SHINE like a star in the dark universe? Then be one of those RARE individuals who doesn't WHINE and Complain and Find Fault with everything around you. As much as anything you SAY, it's what you DON'T say that can shine the light of God on a dark world. (Phil.2:14) "Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation in which you shine like stars in the universe."
