Black Friday

What a crazy day, the day after Thanksgiving has turned out to be. I'm a little embarrassed by all the hoopla around it, to be honest. Plus, I've never been convinced that we save that much money on the deals. Why not think of another 10 things you'd rather be doing than shopping for things that aren't going to satisfy anyone anyhow?

Quiet

I haven't written much lately. Sorry. Sometimes I just get tired of hearing myself.

Being Motivated

Randy Alcorn reminded me a while back that we are motivated in three ways:

Fear
Love
Reward

My children will obey based on fear, love or reward. Each of these motivators has their place. Each has value. It's true with our relationship with God. It's true with our relationship with our leaders. There should be a balance. Think about those you follow or those who follow you... is there a balance between these three? If it's out of balance, why? What can you do to change it?
