~Ecc. 4:9

Quote of the Day:
“Sports fans have become accustomed to players caring only about themselves, about the money, about the accolades. Feeling entitled. There is so much to be cynical of in today’s world of sports.

And then there is the United States Women’s National Team.This team is different. Because it is different when a team plays more for the person next to them, then for themselves. When a team makes a collective effort to work towards the same goal. To achieve it together, as a unit. Support each other. Help each other. Care for each other. They are Champions on the field, because they are Champions off it.Really, this was above and beyond, supporting a teammate. This was about loving a teammate. And it was beautiful.”

Quote of the Day:
“I’m a 100 percent believer. Not in his arm. Not in his skills. I believe in his heart, his there-will-definitely-be-a-pony-under-the-tree optimism, the way his love pours into people, right up to their eyeballs, until they believe they can master the hopeless comeback, too.”

Verse of the Day:
“Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.”
~Rom 12:1-2

Quote of the Day:
“God asks us not to have faith in our faith, but faith in Him”
~Mrs. C E. Cowman

Lyrics of the Day:
“It seems that all my bridges have been burnt
But you say that’s exactly how this grace thing works
It’s not the long walk home that will change this heart

Lyrics of the Day:
“If you ask me how I’m doing
I would say I’m doing just fine
I would lie and say that you’re not on my mind
But I go out and I sit down at a table set for two
And finally I’m forced to face the truth,
No matter what I say I’m – not over you”
~“Not Over You” by Gavin DeGraw
