Animal cracker’s are wonderful. But that’s an interesting question about eating my favorite animal. If it weren’t illegal, I probably would… but I’d never really considered it.

As you said, though, enough of this craziness… :>)

That’s what learning’s all about, right, Sarah? Taking what we’ve learned in the past and remembering it to apply to our future choices. Excellent point.

Wow, yes, I love that. My favorite Bible verse is John 15:5 – “I am the vine. You are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in Him bares much fruit. For without me, you can do nothing.”

We need that constant reminder to stay grounded, or planted, in Christ and His gospel.

Sometimes it’s just as good to look back re-evaluate, refocus, and remember. How else will you get anywhere, especially if you’ve already been there.

Good stuff. Reminds me of something someone told me that I’ve taken to heart recently. They talked about preaching the gospel to yourself daily. Sometimes we accept Christ and then try to do everything on our own strength. There’s something to be said for remembering the Gospel and abiding in Christ. He is the vine and we are the branches. Only through his strength and power do we produce fruit.

Marshall, you would eat your favorite animal? Shocking!

I would if they were in the form of an animal cracker which elephants happen to be.

Enough of this craziness…

Nice analogy – elephants happen to be my favorite animal, so I’m all over that. :>)

That’s a good add, Michael. I could even make my own on 3×5 cards cut in thirds. I’ll have to try that. Thanks.

The best way to eat an elephant…one bite at a time.

Why? Because then I’m focused on God and as a result on how I can spread His blessings to others

Amen. I am the guy who walks around with those business cards that have inspirational verses on them. I carry 3 at all times. They are what get’s me back in balance.

I love the idea of making a list and re-writing it when we feel that we need to. Good stuff.
