The Importance of Being There
I have much to write to you, but I do not want to use paper and ink. Instead, I hope to visit you and talk with you face to face, so that our joy may be complete.—2 John 1:12 (NIV)

Keeping It Simple
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”—Mark 12:30-31 (NIV)
Jesus’ instructions are simple: Love God and love others. When you live by this Scripture, loving God with everything you have, and caring about those around you, everything else falls into place.
Lord, in this complicated world remind me to keep it simple.
