“If a man asks you to go one mile with him, go two.” Jesus
Do more than is expected. Surprise people with your generosity. Let your love and service cover apathy like the Kudzu vine and the fragrance of your joy will fill the air. Here is the cure for all the woes of the world. Spend your days aggressively loving people and you will never know a moment of boredom and never breathe the stale air of selfishness. Your hive will overflow with the honey of joy and your barns with the hay of happiness. 9/23/11 Conversations Within ts (Camp Farrington, AL)
Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

“Excellence can be obtained if you:
...care more than others think is wise; risk more than others think is safe; dream more than others think is practical; expect more than others think is possible.” Anonymous
“And I will show you a still more excellent way.” 1Co.12 ESV
Excellence when driven by love not only does things well, it does the right things well and it does them for the right reasons. Love properly motivates excellence. Far more than a feeling, love always looks out for the best interest of others and when coupled with excellence, love does this in the best possible way. If I am to pursue excellence in life let me at least pursue excellence in matters that matter. Loving God and loving people will insure that I do. 9/22/11 Conversations Within ts (Camp Farrington, AL)
