Last night we talked about a story about a hospital that accidentally switched their oxygen containers for Argon gas and when they used the Argon gas containers the patients were dying. Argon gas is colorless, odorless, but it can kill because it literally suffocates the person. We used that story to talk about the people in our lives who suffocate us even though they look like they are there to help us. Maybe it is a parent who is trying to protect us, but always telling us that we aren't good enough or should find a career that makes more money. Maybe it is a coach who is constantly yelling at us, maybe it is a boyfriend or girlfriend that is over controlling and manipualating our lives.

What do you want to be in life -- are the people in your life helping you becom that or are they subtley sabotaging you.

I see students having their dreams squashed in front of there eyes by the people closest to them all the time. I believe we constantly need to become oxygen to God's plan for people rather than Argon gas that quietly suffocates God's purpose for their lives.
