Faith Noodles

By Greg Furguson. i met a wise old soul who let me in on a secret consider if you will he said three possible destinations Yesterday is better known by the name Regret journey there and you will find it contains great masses of people Tomorrow is famously known as Worry and it too is overcrowded the ancient eyes of the wise old soul brightened I submit for your approval said he the third destination Now it's best known as This Moment it's almost uninhabited it's vast and spacious and absolutely brimming with possibility all it requires is a keen eye and a bit of faith truth be told he said in a whisper it’s the only real place to live i wanted to hear more but I was running late and I had to go i wonder if he’s still there

Almost everyone in my social circle who are of the "wealthier or at least middle class" are constantly talking about the latest phones and gadgets.. and I went through this phase where I was pretty determined to buy an S3, spent a lot of time comparing the specs of the S3, S2 and iPhone 4S, and the prices online and at stores etc. Then, I had this conversation with friends who aren't dependent on their parents and are living by the $180 student allowance a week the government is offering them. I was just telling them about the features of the S3 and how I'd like one etc, and immediately the three of them retorted: "Oh wow, I'd never consider buying an S3, I can't afford it.

Whenever I feel like I've accomplished a sizeable number of tasks that I'd have never dreamt I'd accomplish at the start of my day, my favourite thing to say is: "I feel like I've just climbed Mt.

Was going through my tweets this morning and this tweet by Max Lucado caught my eye:  "The sweetest satisfaction lies not in climbing your own Mt. Everest, but in helping others climb theirs." Maybe, instead of aiming to conquer my own Everest each day, I need to make an effort to help others in conquering theirs too. Ah, I just think God uses the coolest ways to speak to each of us!
