Thursday has Come...and then it left...sry
as you all know i am pretty much the worst rememberer and i have not written a devo in like six years....my bad...so let's try this....rev. 1 introduces paul in jail and the thing that most stands out to me in these verses is paul's attitude, he is in jail but he is writing of his love and concern for those outside of jail, (where they are safe and happy)..he is such a selfless man that it's hard to not want to imitate his attitude, this part encourages me to remember that i am healthy, living in a wealthy society, realitivly safe, fed, and loved and i am complianing about life...doesn't make sense does it?

It is so easy to focus on oneself when things are going good. Life becomes about us. The things I have to do, the places I have to go. The things I want to accomplish. Usually there comes a wake up call when were in a place that we no longer control and it is during these times were reminded that were living for the dot and not for the line. Dot things come and go and will have no impact on anything lasting. Making a concious effort to live for the line even when things are going well is well worth the effort. Our talents, time, and effort are focused on something that will outlast us here on earth and will be talked about in heaven throughout eternity. Katie thanks for your thoughts. Keep writing I really enjoy your persepctive.
