This principal applies in all our relationships, whether in our families or in our jobs. Don't just speak up when bad things happen or when someone gets off track. Besides, by complimenting the good they do, it sure makes those rare tough conversations a lot easier when they learn to trust and value your feedback.

I felt God's presence, Mike, and that's all I can say! I am overwhelmed by His love for each and everyone of us and just know that I needed to hear the words today! You did an amazing job, and in awe I listened to the citation of Revelations 21:4 (no more tears, pain and suffering). It hit home!

I will be praying the family will find comfort and peace through Jesus today, and throught the many hard days that follow. He will be holding your hand through this Mike, that I know. I will be praying for you as well.

Thanks so much for linking this article. I read her statement & had mixed feelings about what she said. You were right – a spot on, compassionate but clear response by Driscoll.

I completely agree. Sustaining Sunday's high is near impossible. I've heard Mike (I think) describe it as a wave. We crest on Sundays, and we spend the rest of the week building back toward Sunday. Carol, one thing I've found is that forcing myself to read the Bible through the week helps, even if it is only in small bites. But that's tough too. We let our busy lives get in the way. It is part of why we feel beat down by Sunday. Also, find a lady in our church to serve as your accountability partner. You aren't alone in this struggle, and often just bouncing that frustration off another person helps a ton.
