Tip of the Week:

I discovered a neat little device that easily lets you clip you iPhone to the AC vent in your car. Surprisingly simple. It's the Kenu Airframe – Portable Smartphone Car Mount.

Spiritual Foundations:

How many times have you tried to lose weight, or quit smoking, or change some bad habit? Did you use willpower? How did that work out?

Most will end up going overboard and binging on food cigarettes, sex, or whatever their "bad habit" was. Often you end up worse off that you were to start with. The reason is: you tried to do it on your own. God's promise is that he works in you both to do and will for his good pleasure.
