Frustrated With Time?

Time flies! That is inevitable as long as we are on this side of eternity. Even though our present bodies continue to grow old and decay, we can be comforted by the fact that our spiritual being continues to grow strong. 


Why is there such a frustration about time with most of us? I believe it is because we are not made for 'time' but 'eternity'. The spiritual man is still young and he will always be frustrated by the confinement of time


After more than half a century on this earth, I still feel like a curious child - always wanting to learn more, understand more, reach out for more and grow. 


The spiritual child in us needs to be nourished and strengthened day by day. After all we are made for eternity and not for a mere three scores and ten on this earth.

Impact of Attitude

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. 


Attitude to me is more important than facts.... We cannot change our past...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. 


We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the string we have, and that is our attitude. 


I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes.

Jeremy Lin and Romans 8:28

There's a BIG buzz going on in the sports world today.

A young devout Christian named Jeremy Lin led his basketball team when he was in high school but was shunned by top college programs.

So he enrolled at Harvard, and led the Crimson in scoring his senior year, only to be ignored again come NBA draft day.

After a long wait, he finally got a chance to join his first NBA team the Golden State Warrior. But since there are too many guards in front of him, he never really got a chance to play.

He was then taken by two other NBA teams but was immediately cut.

New York Knicks then took him just as a back-up player and waited at the far end of the bench.

But with his team struggling, the undrafted, largely unwanted Lin got a shot to play. He promptly went on a transcendent tear averaging 27 points and 9 assists over a six-game stretch and took the sports world by storm.

As of this writing he's now at the cover of Sports Illustrated and Time Magazine Asia.

Surely, it's another inspiring story. But how did it happen?

How an unknown player to many became a basketball star in just two weeks?

What's his secret?

As a Christian, Lin was never shy of confessing his faith in Christ and admits that it's really God who made it happen.

But what I would like you to know is...

...during the time he was down and no NBA team is taking him, he always whisper his memorized verse Romans 8:28 to himself that says...

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

That simple habit kept his faith in God and empowered him during the darkest hours of his professional career.

Believe me, scripture memorization and meditation is so powerful that it can turn things around.

Now it's your turn to change your life for the better.

Start reading, memorizing, and meditating God's Word today.

In Him,
Don and Dawn
