1. Every encounter we have is a choice to reach for the darkness or reach for the light. We can add to a person's feeling of self worth or diminish it.
2. A person sitting alone in the midst of others who are not is an invitation to bring that person into the circle of light.
3. The prayer at church this morning was for the Holy Spirit to "Come!" Perhaps if we realized that the Holy Spirit is already here, we would use the power the Spirit has already brought.
4. A church becomes a community only when people choose to open themselves to one another. Knowing one another's name is the first step. Choosing to start a conversation is the second.
5. The best competition is when people try to outdo each other in kindness to each other.
6. People come into our lives for a reason: to honor them, to be honored by them or to discover where the walls are within us that keep us apart.
7. We are rich if we think we are and no matter how rich, if we think we are poor, we are.
8. There are more points of view than our own and they might even have merit.
9. Money runs the country - only if we keep silent in the face of the disruptive consequences of the profit motive.
10. When we choose to suffer pain, fear and disappointment alone, we shut out the presence of God.
Sweet dreams.
