WRITE IT DOWN
Ma and Pa were sitting on the porch swing. Ma asked Pa to go down to the drug store and buy her an ice cream sundae with chocolate syrup. And she told him to write it down because he wouldn’t remember it. He told her he would not write it down; he didn’t need to write it down; he

There are no short cuts to maturity.
It takes years for us to grow to adulthood, and it takes a full season for fruit to mature and ripen. The same is true for the fruit of the Spirit. The development of Christlike character cannot be rushed. Spiritual growth, like physical growth, takes

Have you ever noticed that good feeling that you get when you give of yourself? Perhaps you gave time to help someone with a flat tire on the side of the road, or perhaps you helped a lost child be reunited with his mother in a crowd, or maybe when the clerk at the store gave you too much

work to pick up a couple of items for his wife. He wandered around aimlessly for a while
