What lessons can we learn from the Parable of the Talents, mentioned in Matthew 25, when it comes to determining if our mind-set of life is half-empty or half-full? 

The United States is bitterly divided both politically and socially. At the same time its role in the world is being undermined in strategic geographic regions. Are we entering a time of escalating danger and trouble like that spoken of in the Bible?

When it comes to our lives, and the mind-set that we establish and have throughout our life about ourselves, about other people, about life, about God, and what we can achieve. Do we live a life that’s half-empty, or do we live a life that is half-full? Pessimistic or optimistic?
