"At our worst, good is only one decision away" I came across this quote this morning as I was reading a great book CHASING DAYLIGHT by Erwin McManus. For me this is a great quote about the potential of every moment and the concept that the past doesn't have to control my future. Even when I totally blow it, my next decision can be a good one. Over the last three weeks I have had numerous people who have shared with me some bad choices that they have made or that people close to them have made and instead of feeling hopeless, the idea that good is only one decision away is tremendously freeing. I love living in freedom, instead of feeling like I am in prision. On Sunday we talked about Nickelback's song Savin' Me -- man there is a guy who is hurting, feeling like there is no hope, pleading for someone to say he is worth saving, that he has some value. Praying that someone will share with him that there is hope, that he has value and that God loves him.
I am looking forward to moments in life, those everyday moments that help me realize that good is only one choice away and I can make that good choice now and I am sure that choice will impact the people around me.

Hey, this is the third time I tried to post a comment, call me computer challenged. but I'm still trying.
I, too, am enthralled with Chasing Daylight. It makes me want to do more, be more, trust God more. In the second chapter, Initiative, it says "I do wake up pretty much every morning asking the question, "How can I change the world?" For me it began with a simple change of perspective. I want my life to be defined by what I give. So many moments are lost when we're looking only for what we can get. You can enter into divine moments only when you are willling to serve...I suppose no one put it better than Jesus: when you try to keep your life, you lose it. But when you lose your life for His sake, you actually find it."
Let's grab a hold of this and make a difference for God's kingdom!
