mercy and grace

To Save a Life (on Facebook)

Mercy= not getting what you deserve.
Grace= getting what you don't deserve.
There's at least one person you can extend grace or mercy to right now.

great reminder for me…

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
I love the quote that says,"The problem is not the problem. The problem is your attitude about the problem." This is especially humbling for believers that know their Father is sovereign over all, (say it again) ALL things. We then need to view "problems" as opportunities that are full of endless and unforeseen possibilities. They are adventures in the journey of life as our loving Father unfolds His perfect plan. We do not need to see or understand it all right now, we just need to walk in faith, watch and wait. Recall Matt 10:29-31 and Luke 12:25-28. Perhaps you need to adjust your attitude regarding a 'problem' you are facing? I know that I often do.

The purpose and meaning of education is widely misunderstood and wrongly presented.

Liked this paragraph -- "Finland’s nonconformist education system – the best in the world – should serve as an example of how students ought to see their educational experience. Finnish students don’t start school until they’re 7; they aren’t measured for the first six years of their education; and they rarely take exams or do homework until they are well into their teens. These students aren’t raised to see school as a measurement cycle where everything comes down to standardized testing, graded assignments and exams worth large portions of their final grade. Their educational culture is substantially different from the evaluation-driven Western world."
