"I can seldom read scripture now without tears of joy and gratitude."     Hudson Taylor

We should challenge ourselves to read scripture daily, but more importantly to read as a child would read a book.  Remove our personal situations and thoughts from the reading process and open our hearts to God's word.

"If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it."

If only we can believe.  The foundation of Faith is to believe and we all hear ourselves say "I have Faith".  My words of encouragement today are to believe in faith, happiness, love and most importantly, Jesus Christ.

"Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy me an iphone, which is pretty much the same thing."

WOW, this makes us think how unfocused our society has become on the core values and principles that founded this country.  We think of it as a joke, but as a father I see how the kids act today and how sad it is.  We hear the economics of the 1% hold the wealth in this world, but what is the current percentage of kids that will even have a chance to go to college and have a normal job like our generation and our parents before us.

If a person does not have Faith, it is time this country redirect itself toward God everyday, not just during terrorist attacks, as we are under attack everyday.

"Great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people."

I do not believe we need to discuss this quote, only think to ourselves of which category to we personally fall into.
