I Love You So Much – Allie Davis

Her surprise exclamation proves sweeter to me than just about anything: a sudden pay raise, an extra day off, a special dessert – you name it. Give me “I love you so much” any day over an ice cream cone or a little extra cash in my pocket.

Illumination: Day 1 – Maureen Murphy

I don’t want to be adored, don’t want to be the first in line, or make myself heard. I’d like to bring a little light, to shine a light on your life and make you feel love. -Keane, Hamburg Song

1000 Miles for an Audience of Seven: Spiritual Lessons from the Road – Mike Westendorf

An 11 Year Old Entrepreneur, Kianna Elkins – Launches a New Custom Jewelry Website and Helps a Local Autism Center – Jason Elkins

Transparent: If this takes off, what do you plan to do with your profits? Kianna: I'm saving a 3rd of the money for more beads and stuff, and hope to make enough to eventually buy more valuable beads. Another 3rd I'm setting aside for the business, and the last 3rd I'm using as spending money. That makes up 90%, and the other 10% I give away. The spending money, I'm saving for something valuable... I really like those small laptops!

Great Uncle Don and a Honky Tonk Piano – Korby Lenker

I like that my family plays music. No one outside of Don has any particular talent for it, but when you get a bunch of people together and they're singing what you're singing, you can't help but feel close to them.

Freedom to Screw It Up! – John Ingrisano

God gave us freedom. We can use it or abuse it. Our choice. Best of all, when we come to God, we should come freely, of our own choosing. I think that's the best part about God and the best part about being a clay-footed human. Enjoy the many gifts God has given us this day, including the wondrous gift of freedom.

Our Light and Momentary Troubles – Allie Davis

What in this earthly life really matters, what is so difficult, when we know the truth that our souls are delivered from death? Death’s sting is no more. We will walk in the land of the living, never the land of death, for “everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die,” according to our Savior.

A Gift For Today From The Past – Lisa Mcintosh

My son wanted it so that he could listen to music on vinyl. He finds something relaxing and inviting about its sound, making it perfect for entertaining. His fiancée, J.C., cleaned it up and bought some contemporary albums such as Coldplay, for his birthday.

Birthday Cards – Korby Lenker

I was about to celebrate a birthday. Celebrate was not the word. I was in a mood. People with enormous egos do not age gracefully. That was one of the quotes, actually. The one on the top card.

Generous Church – Ken Behr

When I was with the ECFA, I visited a large church that was proud that they gave 10% of all of their funds to foreign missions. The only problem was that if you included the debt that the church was also stacking up, they were actually spending more than 120% of all of their income on themselves.
