One of my great joys in life is to bump into someone who is up to unadvertised good. They are just doing the right thing for the right reasons and aren’t requiring an audience for the motivation to act charitably. Aren’t those fun discoveries?!?
If you stumbled upon me jabbering away with a friend and happen along just in time to overhear me talking about your bride, what would you want to hear said? Wouldn’t you want me to express a series of complimentary impressions?
Each time you express your opinion about your church or some other congregation within His Kingdom, your words are overheard. And human ears are not always those most attentive. I am confident Jesus knows every word we speak about His bride, the Church. He smiles with each admiring statement related to His precious sweetheart.
Say nice things. There’s plenty good to be said.

About Me
- Tim G.
- Born in Topeka, Kansas and having grown up in eastern Kansas (Lawrence, Desoto, Pittsburg, and Topeka), I am originally native to the area. Once living in Kansas, I have lived in each of the following states as well: Missouri, Oklahoma, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, and California. My wife and I have two married daughters, two sons-in-law, and four grandchildren. Gray hair is earned, not given out. (No cats, dogs, parrots, mice, bugs or alligators, but lots of frogs.) One of the best things about being a parent is that you learn a lot about The Father and His love for His children.

not meaning to be cliche"ish" but... your thoughts are "well said." I'm sadden at times by what I hear. Thanks for the thought provoking words.
