The story...
I've enjoyed years of daily readings that've helped me better understand how I might best be and do each day - living life more fully in community too. In the past, I've started many similar initiatives yet this time it seems lasting. Why? I've a group of people who are on similar journeys that I meet with regularly. And, new people join the group so that the group never forgets its purpose and how far each of us has grown. Their stories seem part of my story. I value each and every member of the group - this continues to surprise me.
So, just for today, how about reflecting on the quotes, their meaning for you, and how you might act to be different. Read, understand, reflect, decide, act and be.
The only church in town will have God's Word to: read, understand, reflect on, decide upon, act on, and to be too. The church is different from other community groups. All are important, yet the church may be transformational with eternally realities in clearer view.
Just for today...

"...the main source of our unhappiness is that we ourselves don't know what we want. We think we're dissatisfied with what we have, with the way we live, and the way other people act to us. . . It really adds up to this: that we're not satisfied with ourselves, and we can certainly do something about that." One Day at a Time (p. 309)
