Shall hate be fairer lodged than gentle love?

[Shakspr]

Started the Purpose Driven Life for Commuters (audiobook CD). It's brief and thoughtful. It seems that there are some criticisms out there (mostly about the Bible translations that he quotes) that I will leave to others. Hey, I had it on hand! 40 days of lessons

Day 1: It's All About God

Point to ponder:
It's not about me.

Verse:
Colossians 1:16 - For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.

Question to consider:
In spite of all the advertising and distraction I see around me, what can I do to remind myself daily to live for Christ, focusing on him and not myself.

My answer to the last question is twofold:
1) Tithing. This is the toughest act of obedience for me and one that has brought me closer to Him.
2) Practice forgiveness/choose not to engage in gossip. In the workplace, good people often do things ranging from questionable to reprehensible. I will be the lighthouse to these people whenever I can be. Forgiveness is for me, for God, and for those who have wronged me or those I love. And it's hard.
