"What you think means more than anything else in your life. More than what you earn, more than where you live, more than your social position, and more than what anyone else may think about you."

- George Matthew Adams

Most people cannot comprehend that you can control what you think. Most have let their mind run wild for so long that it is perfectly normal for them to be "weak willed" and there is no control, no focus, no purpose in their life.

If you choose you can focus your mind and thoughts on the positive. You can actually see the glass more than half full! But you have to make a conscious effort to think on the right things, the things that will produce the desirable results in your life.

You choose…what you…think

What do you think of when you think of Cracker Jacks?

The great tasting caramel coated popcorn and peanuts OR the great "little surprise" in the box?

You may say, "oh I like the popcorn and peanuts a whole lot more than the little surprise!" If so, then why do we tear open the box and pour out the carmel coated mixture so that we can get the prize in about 2 seconds flat?!

Because WE EXPECT! We know what the popcorn and peanuts taste like BUT we don’t know what kind of prize we are going to get.

We HOPE we get a good little prize, something that we have never gotten before.

Expectation is a powerful thing, it sets our faith in a certain direction!

We can expect God to be true to his Word and do all that He said that He would do concerning us!

Don’t quit expecting, keep your hope UP and know that God’s Word is ultimate authority!

If there is something coming your way that is undesirable, refuse it.

Doubt, depression, discouragement, disappointment, confusion, chaos, strife, jealousy, anger, rage,…and the like….REFUSE IT!

You have a choice in the matter. It is your life and you decide what you want in it and what you will not allow in it.

To refuse a negative requires a strong will…a made up mind…resolve! I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS!

If you do not refuse the undesirable when it presents itself, you are choosing to embrace it, to keep it and allow its influence over you. It will weaken you and rob your resolve, weaken your will and cloud your mind.

Decide today that the next time anything undesirable comes your way that you will REFUSE IT!

The winter here in the Atlanta area it has been a crazy this year. A season of high and low temperatures, freezing rain and now the daffodils are blooming!

It is the way it is because we live right on the frost line of the southeast US. The ground never really stays cold for a long period of

How many times have you heard it said that, "Love is blind."?

It is not.

The love that God has put within us (His AGAPE love), sees everything and in spite of everything LOVES without restraint!

We must learn more about the love that God has already given us. We do not need to pray for more, it is already there in abundance. We must understand how great it is and then begin to put in practice.

Practice love, everyday, from the heart. You will begin to think that it is growing but in actuality you are just using it more frequently.

Open your eyes and begin to love more than
