If you could have one superpower, what would it be?

In the January 2013 issue of O Magazine, the question was asked – “If you could have one superpower, what would it be?”

I know little boys like to pretend play about superpowers and they always want the most powerful power so they can beat everyone else.  So this question was interesting in being asked to women.  What would their answers be?  I really loved Brandi-Ann Uyemura’s answer:

“The gift of responding to any situation with complete compassion.  It’s human to respond to criticism by defending yourself.  But give the power to empathize with an insensitive driver, a disrespectful cashier, or a critical relative, and I’d instantly know what to say to de-escalate the situation and leave it with grace.”

Isn’t that a great answer? 

to live in unity…

Love this post! -- Replay: Jesus is the Reason… to live in unity -- http://www.alanknox.net/2012/12/replay-jesus-is-the-reason-to-live-in-unity/

This paragraph especially:

“Live today for the glory of God. Love him and love those around you. Serve the people that God brings across your path. Serve them before they can serve you. Accept those who are different. Be patient with those who are less mature. Follow those who are more mature. Walk in Spirit. When you come together with your brothers and sisters in Christ, seek to build them up, to stir up love and good works within them, and to mature them in Christ Jesus.”  ~Alan Knox

getting rid of your anger…

This line from the blog post I read today really resonated with me…

“I think getting rid of your anger comes when you forgive your offender and start to see them with compassionate eyes.”

How grace and forgiveness affects us….

“The same grace and forgiveness that invited Jean Valjean into the rich embrace of love and a transformed life drove Javert to self-destruction. Once grace puts you in its crosshairs you have some serious decisions to make.”  ~Wayne Jacobsen
