No Obsessions

Quote of the Day:
Christians need to stop obsessing over being right and having all of the answers and start focusing on following Christ’s example: sacrificially serving, helping, comforting, and loving everyone around us.
For Christians, it’s often easier to yell and scream instead of doing the very hard—and humble—work of loving others. Arguing is addictive because it feeds off of our need for self-glorification, self-righteousness, pride, power, and recognition.

Discovery of the Day:
Paper, the new Facebook app for iPhone (and many other devices). I came across something on it on the web or somewhere and I decided to download it. I've played with it for only about 5 minutes, so that's what I'm going to do as soon as I make this post, while we watch the Olympics a little while before bedtime.

Thought of the Day:
Speaking of the Olympics, I am amazed each time I watch that human beings can make their bodies do what these Olympic athletes are doing. (This from a guy who can't walk on ice on a parking lot without falling and risking a concussion!)
