We often look for excuses when things don’t go our way, shifting the blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for our own choices. But excuses only grow stronger the more we feed them. This same pattern shows up when it comes to doing what’s right—we stay silent, waiting for someone else to step forward, rather than holding ourselves accountable. “What’s your excuse now?” is a challenge to stop hiding behind hesitation and a sense of true comfort in our own skin.

Good Article About the Way People See Things!
Jon
Stewart is back. The former “Daily Show” host came out of retirement to join
his old colleague, Stephen Colbert, on CBS’ “Late Show.”
He
said:

that you’re this country’s rightful owners. There’s only one problem with that:
This country isn’t yours. You don’t own it. It never was. There is no ‘real
America.’
You
don’t own it. You don’t own patriotism, you don’t own Christianity, you sure as
hell don’t own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police and

Get
well, Dorothy.

Grace and Mercy!
Mercy & Grace
Mercy withholds the knife from the heart of Isaac.
Grace provides a lamb in the thicket.
Genesis 22:11-14
Mercy runs to forgive the prodigal.
Grace throws a party with a robe, a ring, and a fatted calf.
Luke 15:20-24
Mercy hears the cries of the thief on the cross.
Grace promises paradise that very day.
Luke 23:39-43
Mercy converts Paul on the road to Damascus.
Grace calls him to be an apostle.
Acts 9:1-6, 17
Mercy keeps us out of Hell.
Grace takes us to heaven.
Ephesians 2:8-9
And the difference between mercy and grace is this . . .
Mercy withholds from us what we deserve.
Grace gives us what we do not deserve.
Romans 5:20
