"You can't have worthwhile work unless everyone is working toward a well-understood and shared goal. But that's not enough. It matters how you reach the goal. You must be guided by values. You have to be proud of both the goal and how you got there."
-excerpt from Gung Ho! by Ken Blanchard and Sheldon Bowles

#718 - Excerpt from Crash the Chatterbox by Steven Furtick
"You don't have to sing a single note to get God - or anyone else - to notice you. Because before you ever breathed, before you even had the opportunity to show off or screw up, God declared,
I want you.
You're Mine. I've chosen you.
You belong. To me.
And you can know that you always will, because you always have.
Before your were ever born, I knew you.
Put it this way: God has issued an announcement from his throne in Heaven, and he wants you to know, The audition has been canceled.
He has not chosen you blindly but intentionally, even while knowing you inwardly and intimately. And let me tell you why this is some of the best news in the history of the universe: If this God has chosen you, then you no longer have to live up to anything. Instead, you are now empowered to live out of an awareness of divine acceptance.
This is the antidote to insecurity."

#717 - Excerpt from Sex God by Rob Bell
"Adam and Eve fixate on this one piece of fruit from this one tree when God has given them endless trees with infinite varieties of fruit to enjoy. Which is often our problem. There's so much to enjoy, and yet we fixate on something we don't have.
This is why gratitude is so central to the life God made us for. Until we can center ourselves on what we do have, on what God has given us, on the life we do get to live, we'll constantly be looking for another life. That is why the word remember occurs again and again in the Bible. God commands his people to remember who they are, where they've been, what they've seen, what's been done for them. If we stop remembering, we may forget. And that's when the trouble comes."

#716 - Psalms 30:5
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime, weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.
