                    When we are out of control, God is in control.  But, God is not selfish.  He may desire to use you to help others, even to stop your own life from spinning out of control.  Are you a victim or a volunteer?  Would you be willing to say as did, Isaiah, "Here am I Lord, send me," (Isaiah 6:8) or would

If you ever get to Venice, one of the places to see is Saint Mark's Square, the spot Napoleon called "the drawing room of Europe." But if you go there, make sure your belly is covered up. It’s not that there's exactly a dress code, but there is an expectation of

                    A steward is like a manager of a local McDonald’s Restaurant who carries out the aims of the owners, maximizes profits, while handling all the problems.

                    One communion Sunday, the communion steward prepared communion with a twist.  When it came time to uncover the elements the grape juice looked darker than usual.  The pastor thought nothing of it and began to serve the communion. Promptly upon receiving the cup, each recipient’s face had a

The boy stood defiantly.   “Go ahead, give it to me.”   
The principal looked at the young rebel and asked, “How many times have you been here?”   
	The child sneered rebelliously, “Apparently not enough.”   
“And you have been punished each time?” the principal responded.
