God calls us to find others. Go now from this place to look, to search, to encourage, to teach, to love, to laugh, to cry, to work, to play, to dance -- to so live before others that they see God in you. People of God, it is time to go fishing.
"For the scientist who has lived by faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream.

What's the origin of the "at sign" (@)?
Everyone who uses email knows the "at sign," the little "a" with a circle around it. It separates the user's online name from his or her mail server address. Before it was used in email addresses, the "at sign" was used on invoices to show how much each item costs, and in a few other places.
Like its relative the ampersand, the "at sign" was invented in the days before printing presses, to shorten the task of transcribing documents. As short as the word "at" might be, it was still common enough in texts that medieval monks thought it would be worthwhile to shorten it even more. So they looped the "t" around and made it into a circle, saving one stroke of the pen.
The "at sign" has no official one-word name, even though many names have been proposed. Among the proposed names, we like arobase, vortex, and snail.

BROKENNESS by David Yonggi Cho, Pastor of the world's largest church in Korea
All of us who are committed to God desire for Him to use us to help bring about His kingdom purposes. But over the last 40 years I have learned that God cannot use a person who is not broken and completely surrendered to Him.
When Jesus met Peter in his fishing boat, Peter had one reaction: He was convicted. He felt as if he were too sinful for Jesus to be in his boat. He was broken by God's graciousness in allowing him to preach the first sermon in
the church's history after having denied Christ.
As a result of Peter's ministry 3,000 people came to Christ on Pentecost. Peter was also used by Christ to open the spiritual door to the gentile world, bringing many to salvation. God was able to use Peter once he had been broken.
I have met many who are not serving the Lord today because of past sin in their lives. In their hearts they know that they have fallen short.
When a Christian [falls] makes a mistake, I always try to help him put his life together again. I explain that his mistake can be the means by which he can learn to be broken and humble before God.
A lack of brokenness causes a person who is used by God to become proud and arrogant. However, when a man is broken, his heart resists pride. Therefore, he can be used to a greater degree.
WORDS OF WISDOM
"Progress has less to do with speed and more to do with direct ion."
"Our company has, indeed, stumbled onto some of its new products. But never forget that you can only stumble if you're moving." - Richard P. Carlton
"A marriage may be made in heaven, but the maintenance must be done on earth." - Unknown
A life with love will have many thorns, but a life without love will have no roses.
"This book [the Bible] will keep me from sin or sin will keep me from this book." - Dwight Moody
LOVE'S CHARACTERISTICS
Only when we live in "love" can the other fruit of God's presence and Spirit follow. The others are manifestations of the spirit of love in our lives. Do you have these kinds of "love" in your life today?
JOY - Love's strength.
PEACE - Love's security.
PATIENCE - Love's endurance.
KINDNESS - Love's conduct.
GOODNESS - Love's character.
FAITHFULNESS - Love's confidence.
GENTLENESS - Love's humility.
SELF-CONTROL - Love's victory.
