Socrates: "Then, my very good friend, we should not give so much thought to what the majority of people will say about us, but think instead of what the person who understands just and unjust things will say -- the ONE man and the TRUTH itself. So your first claim -- that we should give thought to the opinion of the majority about what's just, fine, good, and their opposites -- isn't right" (CRITO)

WOW! Does anyone else hear and SEE the TRUTH in that???

Jesus says "I am the WAY, the TRUTH, and the LIFE. No one comes to the Father but through me" (John 14:6)

And in Proverbs it say
Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the LORD is kept safe.

John 7:18
Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

AH! SO MANY GREAT verses about TRUTH... especially in Romans. Surprise! (Click TRUTH for link)

My philosophy homework is rocking my world, and it's not even a "christian" source.

So, on Tuesday, I was having a pretty rough day. However, when I got home that night, I discovered something that made me smile. Some would call it a 'coincidence', but I call it a God thing :) Anyways, as I was getting ready for bed, I noticed that the pause button on my stereo was pushed down (yes, I have a stereo that has a tape player...and I'm PROUD of it!). Well, I haven't played any tapes on my stereo in ages, and didn't even think there was anything in it. Well, there was, and it was an Adventures in Odyssey tape (produced by Focus on the Family). I have NO IDEA how it got there. I haven't brought any tapes from home, and my stereo hasn't been back to my house in IL for over a year. It was there though, and the title of the episode...? Yep, you guessed it, 'In All Things Give Thanks'. I just had to laugh, and than I listened to it. It wasn't their best episode, but the message was exactly what I needed to hear. God, you are SO AWESOME!

God is GOOD! ♥
