Review

When do you tend to mindlessly watch television or surf the Internet?

Set a reminder on your phone or your computer to use that time instead to call a friend, to talk and listen to your spouse or kids, or to journal about a person who has made a difference in your life.

Identify a few of your favorite tunes, and say a prayer thanking God for the talents of those who fill the world with song.

Review the last twenty-four hours. Where did you find God? Resolve to be more aware tomorrow as the day unfolds.

Power and Violence

... always suspect big talk backed up by small lives. (after The Upper Room Disciplines - 2006, 15 September)

People who have power are sure that it is only violence that guides people, and so they use violence to support the existing order. But the existing order is not based on violence, but on public opinion. (Anonymous, in A Calendar of Wisdom by Leo Tolstoy, 14 September)

If you don't like the way your life is going, change your thoughts and visions and focus on those positive things you want to create in your life. (Susan Smith Jones, Choose to Live Each Day Fully, Day 244)
