Here is the podcast episode from Thursday that was lost and now is found. It describes and celebrates the blessed journey I was on that last week and a half. Relationships are so important. Celebrate them today as you remember God's faithfulness.

Luke 6:36, the YouVersion verse of the day says this, "Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful." Where would we be without our Father's mercy? Focus today not just on His mercy for you, but your mission to show mercy to others.

How do like your eggs? How do you like your life? Where's your focus. In today episode I share some thoughts that I was inspired by a meme posted by an old friend... "Always look on the bright side of life."

As regular listeners, you would know that I'm enjoying some vacation time in Florida. I'm having so much fun visit and sharing life with old friends and family. Last night I arrived in Valkaria and enjoyed an incredible time with the Milton family. We had a "Full House" for sure. The house was full of love, laughter and joy. That's what God's wants for His house. What are you doing to fill His house today?

Romans 12:21 says; "Don't let evil conquer you, but conquer evil by doing good." That's today's verse of the day in the YouVersion Bible app. If you haven't installed that app, please do so as it is full of encouragement and inspiration for you. What's in your arsenal in these troubling days?

Proverbs 17:22 says; A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones. You affect your health by more than diet, nutrition, exercise, exposure, and sleep. You affect it by your attitude and spirit. A happy and cheerful spirit will improve your health, but a wounded and negative spirit can ruin it. How is your attitude today?

Did you ever hear about The Gong Show? The Gong Show is an American amateur talent contest franchised by Sony Pictures Television. It was broadcast on NBC's daytime schedule from June 14, 1976, through July 21, 1978. The Gong Show is known for its absurdist humor and style, with the actual competition secondary to the often outlandish acts presented. I've been experiencing a revival of the gong show on social media lately. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Life is a combination of contrasting seasons. All sunshine and no rain make a desert. If you’re following God’s will, if you’re trying to live your life according to the way God wants you to live, then you’ll eventually see that these experiences can have purpose and value in your life. Let's talk about it on today's Morning Manna.

Ephesians 4:31 says; "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice." One of the most pervasive sins which too often feeds our fleshly attitudes and appetite is bitterness. What bitterness might you be hanging on to that you need to let it go today?

There is incredible power in praising the Lord... healing power, restoration power, renewal and hope. Praise Him today with all your might, soul and strength. He is worthy and you will experience life change.
