Good Quote!

I found this quote in "The Jesus Creed" by Scot McKnight(great book). I think it was written by Mother Theresa and it has really spoken to me. I think the big thing I got out of it was the importance of prayer and how it can really affect your life!

The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.
Wow. If it were only as easy as it sounds written out in simple little sentences.

Wow, you really do rock this blog thingy... That is a pretty sweet quote, as is the rest of the book. My favorite quote from it so far is: “Jesus’ kingdom can neither be ratcheted tightly into a cold-edged system of logical propositions, nor can it be downshifted into a set of social virtues. Kingdom transformation begins by recognizing that the kingdom is about a personal connection to Jesus, it begins by turning to Jesus.” See you in class!
