YOU HAVE WHAT YOU SAY

   Do you realize your environment is largely a result of your own words?  It is, and today I hope to show you how to make your own little part of the world a better place.  We all know people whom we would rather not be around.  Don’t look at me like that, you don’t love EVERYONE, nor do I.  There are people who just seem to “get on our nerves”, and it isn’t because of the way they look, it’s because of things they say and the way they act.

DODGING DISCOURAGEMENT

   People ask me from time to time, Jerry, don’t you ever get discouraged?  My honest answer has to be “Define discouraged”.  I’m no different than anyone else, would YOU be pleased if after having worked for many hours on something on your computer, that it crashes and all your labor was lost?  Two weeks ago everything I’ve spent years building in my address book was lost due to a computer failure.  Thankfully I had it all backed up, or so I thought.  It turns out the backup files got corrupted long ago and is apparently unreadable. So, am I discouraged?  Again I say, define discouraged.  The more correct term might be @#$%^**!!  AAARGH!!!

JOB ONE

   What would you say if you were asked why Jesus came to earth? Have you given it much thought lately? If you consider yourself a Christian, and you don’t know for sure why He came, then you really NEED to know. In His own words in Luke 19:19 He said, For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.
What would you say then is “Job One” for those who follow Christ Jesus? Should it not be to continue the job the Lord Jesus started during His ministry? The early disciples did, but somehow a couple thousand years down the road, things have changed. You see, far too many “Christians” see Jesus as their servant, instead of the other way around. It’s easy to spot them, for most of their prayers are self-centered, “Lord, give me a new home, a new car, prosperity, health and make me HAPPY!” Now of course, none of US pray like that, so I must be talking about someone else, right?

DON’T LOSE YOUR FOCUS

   Distractions are something everyone deals with no matter who you are or where you live.  Some people are able to take them in stride, others not so well.  What are distractions?  They are something that takes your mind off of what you SHOULD be thinking of at the time.  Today, as every Friday, my focus is writing my weekly newsletter and getting it on my website as well as mailing it out to thousands of people who are waiting for it.  So what happened this morning?  My computer messed up so I couldn’t get on the internet, and I had to spend time solving the problem, so I get distractions too.  Like I said, everyone faces distractions.
