Flip flops! Slow down to go faster.

Our pastor recently preached a series called "flip flops," Biblical truths that are the reverse of human thinking. For instance, to get ahead in life, don't push your way to the top. Instead, be humble, serve others. In Matthew 20:26-28 Jesus says, "Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,and whoever wants to be first must be your slave, just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” To be great, serve others. That's exactly how Jesus lived.

A friend of mine shared another "flip flop" on his blog. We cram so much in the day, trying to get it all done... Go to Bryan's blog and find out why he thinks we should "Slow Down to Go Faster!" Bryan's site also includes a great resource for saving money and time. If you struggle with either of these (don't we all???), I hope you'll check it out too.

I am thankful that God has provided me with friends, like Bryan, who challenge me to think about what I do and why I do it! I hope you'll be encouraged to look at what you do and make life better.

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17

Blessings!
