Thoughts for the Day

Many of us just go through the motions of everyday life. We're stuck in the rut of mediocrity while our real dreams get put on the shelf. Life is far too short to waste doing the "good" instead of the "best." It's God's desire to fulfill your dreams every day. Launch out in faith, break free and pursue those dreams. God's will is often only revealed after you take the first step, so what are you waiting for?
 - Ron Lambros, President, Touching Lives


"Here’s the bad news: Everybody has problems. But have you ever considered why? God could have put us in a problem-free world (actually He did, but we blew it). Unfortunately, we live in a world that is chock-full of problems on all seven continents.

Here’s the good news: Problems are not meant to defeat you, depress you, or discourage you. God meant them to develop you. Problems are not tools to tear you down but tests to build you up. One mark of a successful person is the ability to see problems as opportunities rather than obstacles. The greatest lessons you will ever learn will occur not when you party during the good times, but when you persevere in the bad times. Indeed, that is why the bad times make the good times so good." 
- Pastor Merritt
