  • I have found that I have the most joy when I encourage others. Ironically, this happens less often than I'd like.
    I'm not sure why this happens--you'd think that naturally, we'd feel best when we are encouraged, not when we are being an encourager...but for some reason, it brings my focus to the right place--others.
    Our nature as humans is selfishness, but it is an act of self-lessness that I feel closer to Christ. THAT makes sense. Everything about Christ is upside-down in comparison to human nature...
    It is my goal to be more encouraging--and perhaps even that's selfish-but I want to be closer to Christ. If by encouraging others I can be more like him-than I'm gonna do it!

    Church was awesome yesterday. Chuck is a great speaker, and it was an incredible service. I love services like that! Praise the Lord!

  • Yes, yes I know I backed out of Nertz--again!!! I know I missed out on fun but my mom had me run errands for her.  Anyways, I am hoping to stay in small group.  At least that's what I'm planning, you guys are awesome and I don't want to leave; but, I have no idea how it will be like when school starts. 

    What a very insightful and truthful entry. 

  • Encouragment is good.

    I would like to encourage you to be a better Nertz player. :D

  • So true so true!! If only we all would listen and obey not just here and foget!!!

    Two props toChuck also.....

  • Keep encouraging!  That is a cool gift and one that not many have. 

    It is so cool when everyone gets so fired up.  I just hope it keeps growing this time.  We seem just on the verge of ... something ... we just need a push to get there.  Thank you God for using Chuck!!

    As for NERTZ... how about having a night just for us beginners who would like to learn.  Then half of the blogs would be understandable instead of gibberish :)
