Even as you hit the fast lane of life with furious strides that brook no brakes, won’t you pause a moment to grab a grain of scriptural truth embedded herein ? (click on hypertext in the Day’s Reading for reference verse)
No obligations! You are of course perfectly at liberty to skip these Readings altogether. Should that be your choice, go ahead – save 30 seconds!
God bless!

I would like some more!
Some people make do with little, and they do not seem to be unhappy. Some people have plenty, and they are forever hankering after more. Nothing wrong with being rich of course, but isn’t the Bible suggesting that the poor are somehow closer to heaven’s door? We can argue that till the cows come home, but that is not our subject at all.
Writing to Timothy, Paul applauds the virtue of contentment together with godliness.
Are you satisfied?

Contentment leads to an absence of desire. Therefore less Stress and more Joy!
Yes, that’s right. And when it comes with godliness, that’s a bonus!
