INSPIRATION
Quotes of the Week
“Kid, you’ll move mountains! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So get on your way!” - Dr. Suess (from "Oh, the Places You'll Go!")
Verse of the Week
"My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones." - Proverbs 3:1-8

We've been emphasizing the importance (and fun) of mining for gold (i.e., spending time each day digging into God's Word and discovering the nugget(s) of gold that He has waiting for us.
