DEPTH ©Lee Wise, 2002 The appreciation of life I gain as I process the tragedies in my life and the lives of those around me. A THOUGHT OR TWO... Our lives consist of a series of stories. Average ones And not-so-average ones Yesterday I listened as two of our friends shared at a conference their not-so-average story. The story began as an ordinary return trip from a family outing. It was one of those 'nice family times.' Without warning everything changed. As they drove out one side of a tunnel, the car was instantaneously engulfed by a thick fog. Within minutes our friends found themselves being rushed to nearby hospitals and trauma centers. They were torn apart and sent in three directions: each to their respective place of care. The words 'concussions,' 'broken back,' 'broken neck,' and 'coma' took on entirely new and all-to-real meanings for this average family on what began as their 'average' day of fun together. There were not many people at this particular conference. It could easily be termed 'small.' But... The depth of what was shared as we listened and interacted with our friends who had passed through this disaster created an atmosphere of thanksgiving and appreciation for just being alive. One of the other couples in the room had experienced a similar catastrophe. And they, like the speakers, became intimately acquainted with the term 'broken neck.' The wife of this couple shared a thought concerning one of the many reactions to their ordeal: 'You realize what's really important.' At that point there was a brief pause in the room. A silent moment of reflection and understanding. We identified. Not because we had identical stories, but because we could revisit one or more of our own dramas that motivated us to weigh 'what's really important' in our lives. CREATING YOUR BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS... What about *your* similar story -- or stories? Why not take a moment and review one or two of the most meaningful stories of your life? Stories that caused you to 'come back to center.' Stories that stimulated you to contemplate what really matters, be truly grateful, or take life changing steps of action. Why? For the purpose of allowing the positive results of those moments to visit you one more time. And maybe -- just maybe -- help you during an important day of your life: today.

Our God of More than Enough Copyright 2005 Daniel N BrownThere is no shortage in the abundance of blessings we are promised as God's children. We should expect to receive from Him if we believe the promises He's given us in His Word. To believe otherwise is to show that we have no confidence in God's word. This would indicate that we believe that He lied when He gave us these promises and throughout the Bible, we are told over and over again that God cannot lie. Ephesians 3:20-21 says, 'Our God is able to do exceeding abun… 4.
