Bits & Pieces (July 23)

Bits & Pieces (7/23/22)

Greetings. This weekend may you be surrounded by the love of God and may you be filled with His peace as you rely on Him to provide all you need.

  • A Doctor Shares the Secret to Dying Well – “Though everyone knows death is inevitable, most don’t know what to do with the news of a terminal diagnosis. They do not see impending death as a call to evaluate their lives and change. After the initial shock, most patients keep on living the remainder of their days as they always had; I’ve never seen a patient reverse their philosophy of life because the end is finally here.”

  • The One Thing About Your Spouse’s Personality that Really Affects Your Career – In this article, Harvard Business Review (a quite secular source), reports on studies that demonstrate something that should come as no surprise to anyone who has read Proverbs – who you marry has a profound impact on your life. As it turns out, the character of your spouse may even influence your career trajectory.

  • A Simple Solution to a Boring Prayer Life – “The Lord has his people all over the world, and among them are believers of every sort of demographic description. And yet by his Spirit, he gives to all of them a desire to pray. Would he do this for all if meaningful prayer was doable only by some? Would your heavenly Father make prayer so difficult or confusing that you could never enjoy it or, rather, never enjoy him through prayer?”

  • The Next 50 Years – “But the most important thing the pro-life movement did to overturn Roe was not political or legal, it was cultural. The pro-life movement’s strength never came from laws or court cases—it came from truth and love.”

  • Pain –“I have tried and I cannot find, either in Scripture or history, a strong-willed individual whom God used greatly until He allowed him to be hurt deeply.
