STOP THAT...QUIT IT...SAY NO!!!
I usually try to be encouraging. However, I must tell you I have heard many people this week talk about NOT GIVING UP...Never quit...DON'T STOP...on a variety of messages on ministries via radio...fb...twitter...our ministry too...then I realized I was part of committing a disservice to those reading or listening...(as well as abusing this etc. "ellipsis" ...thingy)
So...let me amend...
NEVER GIVE UP...DON'T STOP...NEVER QUIT...UNLESS...
You... smoke, bite your nails, bicker, complain, argue over stupid minutia, go to the left or the right when GOD says NO, gossip, spit on sidewalks, pick your nose, floss in public, or try to eat grilled chicken with a spork!
Give it up! STOP THAT! QUIT IT! REPENT!
Psalms 34:14 Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
I'm sure there are more...help me out! Just don't STOP Believing!
And have a wonderful weekend.
Amended:
We have had others add:
~Stop putting 22 pillows on the bed, 2 is enough.
~Over age 30 and shopping in Juniors department...QUIT THAT!
~Sing outloud, off key, and saying I can't get that out of my head...you did!
~Talking with your mouth full
~pretending unless you are in a movie or stage production...be real!
~Abusing that etc. "ellipsis" ... thingy (OUCH) Stop it!

JAMAA.....means Family
I had the honor of sitting in a private screening of the film "JAMAA" this week. I was so moved by this beautiful film based on a true story. If you have a chance you will want to see it. This film is partnered with World Vision.
The line that struck me the most in the picture was: "If you loved Jesus...love what He loves."
Do you love the things...the people that Jesus loves? Do the things that break HIS heart break yours? What can you do to help another person or family that Jesus loves? Right in your own circle of influence, you can be Jesus' hands to someone else
Be part of JAMAA...what are you waiting for?
