Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it.
~ Psalm 139:14, N
Wow. I love looking at myself and my complexities in this light. Never thought of it that way before.

On foul language...
Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.
~ Ephesians 4:29, NLT

This was Air1.com's verse of the day today. Can you have "words you live by" but not have ever heard the words before? Without knowing the Bible verse, these are words I was raised to live by.
~ Ephesians 4:29, NLT

Kitchen Window Verse
“Don't worry about anything; instead pray about everything: tell God your needs and don't forget to thank Him for His answers”
(Philippians 4:6, TLB)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A calligraphied version of this verse sat in my kitchen window at Marilu for many many years. Hank one time told me that he was in a discussion with the husband of one of his James Avery employees who happened to be in seminary. In the midst of the conversation he quoted "the only Bible verse I ever memorized . . . the one from your kitchen window." :-) It not only spoke to me, it spoke to others who shared my kitchen.

Always be joyful
"Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, NL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This came into my email box from a "scripture quote of the day" service that I subscribe to. I always like finding scripture in my mailbox to bring me back to reality. My email box is a good place for it to be because I seem to be on email all the time, so it's always a nice (though short) respite to open one up. But this one particularly jumped out at me on a day when I needed the reminder to "never stop praying." And though I strive to be both, I can always use the reminder to a) be joyful and b) be thankful in all circumstances. :-)
