Words written in red; Words of Jesus
Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people; but Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."  And he laid his hands on them and went away.
Matthew 19: 13 – 15
 
If something uncharitable is said in your presence, either speak in favor of the absent, or withdraw, or if possible stop the conversation.
— St. John Vianney
 
Abba, Father, Lord God, thankful for Your endless grace and mercy, humbled by my lacking and judgment, joyful in the simplicity of Your Kingdom, vigilant to finding my lost innocence and remembering I am nothing without Jesus in whom I am present with You through the Spirit and am. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
 
 
Audio books I am listening to and other books or readings I am reading:
When I Lay My Isaac Down: Unshakable Faith in Unthinkable Circumstances (Unabridged) By: Carol Kent Sometimes we make sacrifices to help us get ahead, to allow us more time with family, or because we believe in the cause. And then there are sacrifices in which we have no say, "Isaac experiences" as in Genesis 22, thrust upon us without warning or survival instructions. This audio book outlines eight transformational power principles that Gene and Carol Kent learned in the process of facing the news that forever changed their lives.
Becoming a Person of Influence By: John C. Maxwell and Jim Dornan "You can immediately [sense a] spark when you hear John Maxwell and Jim Dornan talk about leadership. Their understanding of influence is like mine for guitars; it’s woven into the fabric of their being." – (Bob Taylor, President, Taylor Guitars). With influence, you can achieve success at home, work, and in every other area of life.
