I love to go shopping at Target. They have so much stuff there, you can buy almost anything, it's really amazing.
Enduring, or carrying on, is not just a matter of tolerating circumstances and hanging in there, but of pressing forward.
Young people are going to go to someone, somewhere. And we had better see that that 'someone' is us when the opportunity is ours, for there will come a time when we will wish they would come, and do we know but that the interruption we now impatiently put off may be the most important thing we could be doing at this particular time?
All of us need to be constantly reminded it takes a heap of living and loving to make a house a home.
He who invites us to follow will always be out in front of us with His Spirit and influence setting the pace. He has charted and marked the course, opened the gates, and shown the way. He has invited us to come unto Him, and the best time to enjoy His companionship is straightway. We can best get on the course and stay on the course by doing as Jesus did-make a total commitment to do the will of His Father.

We often equate charity with visiting the sick, taking in casseroles to those in need, or sharing our excess with those who are less fortunate. But really, true charity is much, much more.

And when the virtue of charity becomes implanted in your heart, you are never the same again.
After 911, the American Red Cross received more than half a billion dollars in donations to help the victims of the terrorist attacks.

I have a theory that movies operate on the level of dreams, where you dream yourself.
