Visit to the Diary - Part 1

*Just so you know, the stuff in [brackets] isn't something I actually wrote, it's just to help things make sense for you.

"January 7, 2003

During our 3 hour independent quiet time with God, I climbed the cliffs [behind the campus] and just took in God's splendor and beauty.  It's amazing that He created all that there is.  Every little nook and cranny, every drop of water, every blade of grass.  I went in for a drink after exploring and saw a verse written on a paper by the kitchen:

LUKE 16:10-12: Whoever can be trusted with very little can be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.  So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches*?  And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?------------------------------------------------
*true riches meaning riches in heaven.

To me, this means if I can't be responsible with things like praying every night, how can I expect to disciple to others?  Coach always said, "What you do in practice is what you will do in the game." How true that is...

Learn to be responsible and trustworthy in every aspect of life.  Apply this daily."
