Monday Mission--Think About What You Think About

Your thoughts have power. In the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, "You are what you think all day long!" So when you think about what you think about, what comes to mind? When you ask yourself this question, how are you centering your thoughts.

The apostle Paul also helps put thoughts in to perspective in Philippians 4:8 (NIV), "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things."

Monday Mission - Living in God’s Laws

A little over 2 years ago my husband and I adopted a 5-month-old puppy from our nearby Animal Shelter. Over the years our 20-pound puppy has grown into a 70-pound dog and taught us not only a lot about pet ownership, but also a lot about our faith in God. This week I wanted to share some of those lessons with you all!
