  planets.

  approximately a quarter past three.

  and that we are small and insignificant.
• Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a
  beautiful day tomorrow.
• Why, what does it tell you?"

• If I could speak all the languages of earth and
  of angels, but didnt love others, I would only
  be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had
  the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of
  Gods secret plans and possessed all knowledge,
  and if I had such faith that I could move
  mountains, but didnt love others, I would be
  nothing. 3 If I gave everything I have to the
  poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast
  about it but if I didnt love others, I would
  have gained nothing.
• NLT 2nd ed. 1 Co 131-3

• 8 If we claim we have no sin, we are only fooling
  ourselves and not living in the truth. 9 But if
  we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and
  just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
  from all wickedness. 10 If we claim we have not
  sinned, we are calling God a liar and showing
  that his word has no place in our hearts.
• 1 John 18-10

Spiritual blindness is worse and more common than
physical blindness.

Do You Want To See?

• Take a moment to consider all that God has given
  you. Would you say you live in a state of
  gratitude or not?
• Take a moment to think about how youve lived.
  What sins would you say that you have committed
  during your life?
• Now think about the people in your life family,
  friends, coworkers, neighbors but also those
  who serve you. Clerks, waiters, busboys, etc.
  What about those older, or younger? Would they
  say you are living the life of Christ?

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a
wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found,
was blind but now I see.
