Out Of The Overflow

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 17, 2007

At the Last Supper, Jesus spoke out of the overflow of His heart, which had been building toward this moment.

Do you know what it is to overflow? When you overflow, maybe you say more than you intended to say. Your feelings ran ahead of your thoughts, and blam! There it is, you said it.

Out Of Sight

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 4, 2008

For Ascension Sunday: Whether we work diligently when our supervisor is out of sight is a measure of commitment and character. Compare Matthias, who took a job he did not ask for; and Joseph Justus, who was passed over.

When you see your supervisor, you work. When you do not see your supervisor, you may work, but your work style is likely to slow down. The difference between those two things is the measure of your character and your commitment. When you see your supervisor, you work diligently. You know that ...read more

Poured Out

Contributed by Todd Kingrea on Apr 24, 2008
