Kung Fu Panda


We watched Kung Fu Panda last night. I really liked this quote from the movie:


"Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery, but TODAY is a GIFT. That's why they call it the present."


What are you doing with the gift of today that you have been given?

IN A PIT WITH A LION ON A SNOWY DAY!

I bought this book a while back that I really wanted to read and I am just now getting to it. It has a crazy title, but upon reading chapter 1, you totally get it. It's based on 2 Samuel 23:20-23 where Benaiah killed a lion in a pit on a snowy day. The book is about facing your fears to take the risks of the opportunities that God has given us.

I really appreciate those of you who faithfully read and comment. It encourages me to keep on sharing. Sometimes you wonder if what you have to say ever makes a hill of beans difference in anyone else's life.

Influence

Our small group is studying the book Chasing Daylight by Erwin McManus. This week's topic was about influence. "Human beings are created for influence, to be influenced by the lives of others and to influence others." My take away from tonight: What if someone seriously said "I want to model my life after YOU!" What would their life look like?
