a Biblical thought...
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
a Book thought...
Passion is the fuel of life. It is the great source of energy and drive. It's what makes us explore new vistas, develop new relationships, and seek solutions to perplexing problems. (p53)
a Dave thought...
It's been encouraging to spend the last seven days in Perth. There are some great things happening in youth work over here and the DYS Captain Nikki Novell is to be commended. There is a great spirit among the interns and youth workers and they all have heart to see God do even greater things among the young people here in WA. Last night we had 2Love Church with over 100 teens present at Balga, for games, worship, food and just to hang out. Kylie gave the bible message last night and shared from Psalm 139 and let everyone know that God has great plans for them and they were made for a purpose. She used a children's story to begin 'Edward the Emu' which is about the fact that we need to be ourselves and not try and be someone we are not. It was amazing how many restless teens listened and soaked up the message. There is certainly something about a simple children's story that just grabs our attention and speaks to all generations like nothing else I've seen.
Just a thought.

I love kids book so much...not always for that reason, sometimes just because they have pretty pictures or funny stories, but some of them say things much better than I ever could...so thumbs up to all the children's story book writers in the world.
