According to the grace of God given to me, like a skilled master builder I laid a foundation, and someone else is building on it.
1 Co 3:10
The Holy Bible: New Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition (Washington, DC: National Council of Churches of Christ, 1993)
Our business is not to build quickly, but to build upon a right foundation, and in a right spirit. Life is more than a mere competition as between man and man; it is not who can be done first, but who can work best; it is not who can rise highest in the shortest time, but who is working most patiently and lovingly in accordance with the designs of God.
Joseph Parker
Samuel G. Hardman and Dwight Lyman Moody, Thoughts for the Quiet Hour (Willow Grove, PA: Woodlawn Electronic Publishing, 1997)
In this troubled, crazy world, it is not a time to be running here and there to follow the news of this or that happening. These things cannot be changed for they are part of what must happen. Instead, make the foundation of your belief solid and built on the rock of faith in Christ, God and the Holy Spirit. By doing so you become not of this world but of the next. Your spirit will no longer dwell in a world that is passing away but in heaven with Christ.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe.
Remember to "Always Love The Details."
Let us all build, slowly and surely, on the foundation that Jesus has laid down for us. Blessings, Jim!
