“Which person in the story do you identify with? If I’m honest, I have to admit I’m more like Simon, but I also know the depth of my need for Jesus’ mercy and grace.” –Gordon Crisman, Fruit of the Vine

Query: Are you careful to avoid judging others who are on the same journey as you?

Be more by doing less.

Accomplish more by taking a rest.

Taste more by eating slow.

What seems unlikely

may bring the greatest reward,

as when we treat our adversary

with kindness.

Big weeds grow from a tiny seed.

Infection comes from a small scratch.

Small acts deter disaster.

Humble beginnings can grow into greatness.

The wise one perceives potential

for great promise or pain

and acts early to bring the best result.

–Jim Teeters, Because of This
