Find An Accountability Partner

I have so many oars in the water. It's a good thing though! I just finished reading The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch. What an incredible read! If you haven't taken the opportunity to read it, please do. That being said, I want to share something with you from the book:

. . .When you see yourself doing something badly and
nobody's bothering to tell you anymore, that's a bad place to be.
You may not want to hear it,
but your critics are often the ones telling you
they still love you and care about you,
and want to make you better.

With this thought in mind, if you don't have an accountability partner, pray for one.

And let us consider how we
may spur one another on
toward love and good deeds...
Hebrews 10:24

A Speck

"How small are we in the grand scheme of things, that we become so involved in our life that we do not see just how miniscule that we are to the grand scheme of things. If a speck of dust is smaller than you then how large are you in the universe?" ~ Karl Pesson


Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the the earth was founded?
He sits enthroned above the circle of the eart,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.
~ Isaiah 40:21-24
