Fear for Friday

Yeah, it’s Friday. The end of week where I have been giving a lot of thought to what success and failure in this little world of ours really means.  Earlier in the week, I rediscover this little gem from one of ‘muh favs’ – Mr. Francis Chan.

 “Our greatest fear should not be of failure but of succeeding at things in life that don’t really matter.”–Francis Chan

That’s a pretty chilling comment.  One that for me produces a bit of introspection each time I reread those words.  What are you succeeding at that really doesn’t matter?  Are you winning the argument, but losing the person?  Are  you making money to buy stuff that just doesn’t really add value?  Are you the best at the worst possible thing?

Spend a little time in introspection today and remember these little thoughts from that guy who well succeeded at some really important things.

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. — Jesus Christ

Grace upon grace

It’s Friday!! Yeah, what can say, but maybe something exciting and interesting and motivating like this:

 

16 And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ  John 1:16-17

 

Make it Graceday for those your encounter today.

No Fear Friday

I have been a little distracted by the news of the day, especially since I had a child at the local midnight release this morning.  Because of that, I have used up all of my blogging time, and I need to head off to the workplace.

Anyway, just a little reminder this morning

 

The Lord is my light and my salvation —
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?   Psalm 27:1 New International Version (NIV)

Double Post Friday

An extra post is coming today

since this it’s Dr Seuss birthday!

I could not let this day go by

That was terrible. But I did want to remind you all of post from the past to celebrate this fun day of children’s lit!

Enjoy the Day!

Freebie Friday

A lot of sites I follow have “Freebie Fridays” where they give away free apps, or other simple design products like icons or images. It’s fun to see the stuff they are offering at the reduced rate of FREE!

Today it’s Freebie Friday at the Buffet – and no it’s not in honor of the 13th. It’s a gentle reminder of the fabulous freedom that abounds for followers of the Christ, and a reminder of how to put that freedom to good use!

 23 “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. 24No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.  1 Corinthians 10:23-24 New International Version (NIV)

 

Enjoy the freedom, I hope others notice how you use it!
