Just like the headline says, this page/board is where you can discuss the stuff that we didn't cover in today's issue. (It's sort of like feedback with a twist) Remember, NO name calling, racial taunting, graphic sex talk and vulgarity in general, PLEASE.

EUR MOTIVATIONAL NOTE
How are you today? The other morning I woke up with some pressing issues on my mind and then... I read some of your e-mails. So many were full of love and gratitude. My heart was stirred and tears of joy and sadness flowed. Some of you are really going through some tough times and some of you are sharing your praise reports of taking action, walking by faith and persevering in spite of your obstacles and disappointments.
As I read your inspiring stories of strength, endurance and inspiration, I am reminded that I won't complain and that I am too blessed to be stressed. It is a choice to rejoice and it's a choice to hold my head up high or hold it down.
I believe the enemy does not want our home, car, money, degree, status or diamonds. The destroyer of life really desires our faith, joy, peace, praise and worship, gratitude, perseverance and our destiny.
Every moment...every day...you and I can choose what we will allow to steal our peace of mind. Every day "stuff" is happening all around us in our homes, job, community, church and in the world news. The bitter and sweet, the good and bad are happening all at the same time. It's just that some days the bad stuff makes more noise.
We are challenged on every side to stay in the light. We are challenged to stay in peace instead of falling to pieces. We are challenged to get up and be proactive instead of being procrastinators, worriers and hopeless victims. We are reminded to count our blessings and not our burdens. We are reminded to be compassionate of others. We should know that if we worry...don't even pray. If we pray and take action...don't worry. One cancels out the other.
Whatever you are going and growing through...don't give up. Something great is about to happen. What a mighty God we serve!
