This time I'm going with a verse that's been on my list for a while, but I keep avoiding it. Maybe because I don't want to be reminded of my sin? Eesh.
Ephesians 4:29 NIV
Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

Verse 19
I was looking back over my last few verses and realized that I don't have them committed to memory yet. So, as I remind myself, let me encourage you, too: don't neglect God's Word in this upcoming busy holiday season. You are on verse 19 out of 24! What an accomplishment! Don't give up! Press on, friends!
Today's sermon was on Ecclesiastes. [It was really interesting. You can watch it here if you're interested.] A lot of the book is about how everything here on earth is pointless (my loose translation). BUT we can rise about the seeming insignificance of all the day-to-day stuff. At the end of the book the author gives us the key for living our lives down here:
Ecclesiastes 12:13 NIV
"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind."
