Quote from New Life newsletter: Some Days Even though I walk through the [sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me. Psalm 23:4 Some days are filled with smiles and laughter, while others are full of tears. Some days you move five steps ahead, and other days you fall back three. When things are going great, enjoy it while it’s here. If things are going not so well, you’re building more appreciation and joy for when the good times come again. If there never was any down, you could not ever come back up. If you could never, ever lose, you would not want to win. The bright and sunny days would be unbearably oppressive if the rainy days never came. When night seems at its darkest is when the dawn begins. What a blessing it is to be alive, to experience all this and more. No matter what each moment brings, no matter how each day turns out, life is richer for it all. Father in heaven, while life is full of many hills and valleys, we thank You for the constant that You are with us through it all! Whatever our lives are looking like this day and season would You remind us of Your constant companionship! We thank You for Your presence not just in some days but in them all! In Jesus name, AMEN! The God on the mountain is still God in the valley.
Quote from New Life newsletter: One Hour Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand, but the hand of the diligent makes him rich. Proverbs 10:4 In just one hour from now, your world can be an entirely different place than it is this moment. You can make it a better place as a result of what you do with this time that you now have. One hour from now, you can be well on your way toward your most treasured dream. One hour from now, you can experience the exhilarating freedom of moving surely and steadily beyond your most difficult challenge. In just one hour from now, you can be looking back with satisfaction at how much you’ve been able to accomplish. In just one hour’s time, your whole attitude can be a thousand times more positive and productive than it is even now. Yes, you could spend the next hour wandering aimlessly through a fog of anger, despair or frustration, and if you wish you’ll find plenty of excuses for doing so. Or you can really and truly live the next hour with energy and vitality, looking positively forward with the very best you have to give. The next hour is absolutely critical, for it is the one over which you now have control. You have every reason, every resource and every ability to make it the very best you’ve ever lived. Father in heaven, how small and insignificant an hour can seem, but how great it can be if we but choose to use it. Lord be our guide through this next hour, teach us to realize how important even a small amount of time is. We don’t want to look back at wasted time, but time invested! In Jesus name, AMEN! 1 hour of doing is far more valuable than 10 hours of thinking about doing something.

Quote from New Life newsletter: Stop Spinning Your Wheels The end of a matter is better than its beginning; patience of spirit is better than haughtiness of spirit (pride). Ecclesiastes 7:8-9 When you attempt to do too much too fast you end up with a lot of anxiety and not much else. Slow down, calm down, focus your attention without rushing too fast, and you’ll be able to achieve so much more. Instead of worrying about what you’re missing, or what else you could be doing, put your heart, mind and spirit fully into what you’re doing now. Life is indeed precious, and each moment is irreplaceable, yet that’s no reason to make the moments so frenzied and hectic. Rather than spinning your wheels like a car stuck in the snow, slow down and calmly get some traction. Moving slowly and deliberately forward is far better than frantically going nowhere. How many things do you see as urgent just because you’re afraid for them not to be? Imagine how much more ground you would gain if you took the time to do it right instead of busily hurrying through. Life is best experienced when you take the time to really live it. Move steadily ahead, fast enough to get there, and slow enough to clearly see, appreciate and arrive at where you’re going. Father in heaven, remind us today every time we get in our vehicles, to not waste our time spinning our wheels. The marines have a saying that slow is fast. How true this is, help us to slow down and not to give into distractions. Help us to work steadily towards one thing, instead of franticly in all directions. In Jesus name, AMEN! Slow and steady wins the race.
Hopper, was your timing "wheel" was slipping on the shaft? I think I could see it @11:58-12:01 turning in-relation-to the clutch. Seems you were having problems with numbers "all over the place"; may be the cause?
Quote from New Life newsletter: Nothing IS Easy Laziness casts one into a deep sleep [unmindful of lost opportunity], and the idle person will suffer hunger. Proverbs 19:15 It is easy to do nothing. Yet what is easiest is not always what is best. It is easy to hope for the best outcome. To actually bring it about often requires difficult and even painful decisions, actions and solid, tangible commitment. It is easy to criticize the actions of others, particularly in hindsight, or to speculate about what should have been done. But nothing ever has been accomplished by criticism or speculation alone. Accomplishment comes from those who are willing to put themselves on the line. The world moves forward because of those people who step up to do what is right and what is best, rather than just what is easiest. Taking the easy way out can often lead to results that are not so easy to handle. Doing nothing is easy to justify and easy to implement, but in the long run it ends up being a difficult, burdensome way to live. Make your choices based not on what is easy, but on what is best, and do what you know needs to be done. That’s the strategy to take you where you truly would like to be. Father in heaven, forgive us for sometimes settling for what is easy instead of what is best. When our motivation wanes, and our productivity falters, remind us of this lesson and grant us the strength to do our best. Help us to put our hands to the proverbial plow and put in the work, instead of just hoping things all work out. In Jesus name, AMEN! Do what’s right not what is easy. Quote from New Life newsletter:
Quote from New Life newsletter: Here & Now This [day in which God has saved me] is the day which the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 This is not an ordinary moment. No moment ever is. No matter how mundane the task or the situation may be, it is overflowing with special possibilities and opportunities for joy. No moment is ordinary because life itself is so inherently and overwhelmingly extraordinary. Stand up, open your eyes and pay loving attention to what is here and now. Free this moment from the shackles of your worries, your fears, your disappointment, and frustration, and begin to see how truly wonderful it can be. Everything you could ever need, or desire has already been delivered to you. It spreads out in all directions as far as the eye can see and as far as the mind can imagine, here and now. And you have the immensely good fortune of living it, of moving through the richness of life that is all here in this moment. Accept it for all it is, appreciate the beauty, the wonder, and the limitless possibilities. Your life is not way off in some imagined future someday. The fullness of it is here and now, in this moment that is in no way ordinary, ready to be lived. Father in heaven, help us to see Your amazing grace in every aspect of our lives and realize there truly are no ordinary days. We are so thankful for the opportunity to praise you in this very present minute. Help us never to take for granted all the extra ordinary moments You give us! In Jesus name, AMEN! There are no ordinary moments.

Quote from New Life newsletter: Beyond You And whoever gives to one of these little ones [these who are humble in rank or influence] even a cup of cold water to drink because he is my disciple, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward. Matthew 10:42 If the things you desire are only for yourself, then what you accomplish will be empty and unfulfilling. Desire turned inward is nothing but greed and will bring you nothing worth having. The greediest people are not those who desire too much. The greediest people are those who desire too little, who desire only for their own narrow, limited concerns. The more outwardly your desires are focused, the more fulfilling will the fruits of those desires be. What you desire for the world beyond you, for all of life itself, will bring the most lasting, fulfilling rewards. The person who solves his own small problems will receive some real value from his efforts. Yet when that person can make the same innovation available to others, the value that can be created is virtually unlimited. Desire can be a powerful force, so be sure to point it in a positive direction. The more your desire is focused beyond your own concerns, the further it will take you and your world. Father in heaven, create in us a heart that desires to give! Help us to see the people who are in need and have compassion! We will choose to give of our time and our resources. Help us to give to missions, or even GO on a mission’s trip, to serve You in whatever way we can. Help us to keep an eternal perspective, understanding that the latest phone only lasts but for a while, but a life changed by You lasts forever! In Jesus name, AMEN! Greed in the end is a lonely road.
Quote from New Life newsletter: Pesky Small Things Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who by faith have testified to the truth of God’s absolute faithfulness], stripping off every unnecessary weight and the sin which so easily and cleverly entangles us, let us run with endurance and active persistence the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1 Do something nice for yourself today. Pick one little trivial, insignificant thing that you would normally get very upset about, and just let it go. Save yourself the frustration, the aggravation, and the wasted time of worry and fretting about something that doesn’t really matter anyway. Simply have the grace to let it go. It could be an insult or a criticism from someone else. Instead of defending yourself against it or striking back, just let it go and let its negative influence on you quietly dissolve into nothingness. Or it could be some little something that you’ve decided is very annoying to you. Instead of putting your energy into being annoyed, choose to ignore it and put your efforts into something more positive, productive and genuinely enjoyable. Think for a moment about how utterly ridiculous it is for you to let the little things get you down. Give yourself and your world the priceless gift of your own vibrant life by rising happily above those petty, insignificant little annoyances. Father in heaven, today we will cast off the things that weigh us down. If we saw someone running on a treadmill carrying around a bunch of bowling balls, we would laugh and wonder why they are needlessly carrying them around. The truth is, this is often how we run our race, holding onto things we don’t need, that just slow us down. Bring to our mind one small thing we can set down today, and to do the same again tomorrow until we are free. In Jesus name, AMEN! Stop allowing small frustrations to steal your joy.
Quote from New Life newsletter: Just a Thought For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. Romans 8:6 Frustration is nothing more than a thought, yet it can turn a beautiful day into a miserable experience when you continue to hold it in your mind. Worry is nothing more than a thought, and even so it can hold you captive as surely as a cage made of steel bars. Confidence and determination are just thoughts, too, and when you continue to think them, you can achieve incredible things. Happiness is a thought as well, one that can bring magnificent beauty and fulfillment during those times you choose to hold it in your mind. The next time you are frustrated, worried, angry or annoyed, remember that it’s because you have decided to be so. You can just as easily decide to be confident, positively determined, patient, understanding, peaceful and even happy. If it sounds foolish and unrealistic to think peaceful thoughts of confidence when you’re surrounded by turmoil and disorder, ask yourself this question. Would it be better to join in that turmoil with your thoughts, or to rise powerfully and positively above it? Your actions, your results, and the course of your life are directed by your thoughts. And your thoughts are ultimately determined by who you truly choose to be. Father in heaven, today we are learning about the power of “just a thought.” Help us to choose our thoughts instead of letting our minds wonder. We think of Paul and Silas in that prison, surrounded by darkness and fear, yet choosing to think of You and praise Your name! Remind us, when our thoughts drift into being downcast and our hearts fill with worry, to turn our thoughts and set our minds on You! Knowing that You will fill us with peace. In Jesus name, AMEN! Until you change your thinking, you will always recycle your experience.
Quote from New Life newsletter: The Promise of Spring May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises. Romans 15:13 Even when the day is cold and gray, life can be filled with warmth and joy. Even when trouble weighs heavily on the world, there are very real opportunities to move positively forward. Even in the middle of winter, there is the ever-present promise of spring. Even when all seems to be lost, there are still many ways to turn the situation around or to move on through it anyway. Even when there appears to be no hope, someone will have the audacity to be hopeful anyway. And more times than not, that person will be right. The greatest opportunities for positive change very often arise from the most difficult situations. The most enduring strengths are always forged against the most stubborn challenges. There are those who give up at the first hint of trouble, and then there are those who never give up no matter what. Those who never give up are the ones who, thankfully, always get us through. Father in heaven, here in the middle of winter, we thank You for the promise of spring! Thank You that even when times are hard, or we are feeling discouraged by life that Your promises are true and that hard times don’t last forever. We pray for those who are discouraged today to remember Your faithfulness and be reminded that the sun will come back out again, spring will return. Thank You for this reminder to not give up. In Jesus name, AMEN! The promise of springs arrival is enough to get anyone through the bitter winter.
