]]> Comment on St. Patrick’s Influence on Me by Michael http://thejoshuacollective.com/2010/03/17/st-patricks-influence-on-me/#comment-398 Michael Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:04:14 +0000 http://thejoshuacollective.com/?p=1254#comment-398 And yes, I am Irish... Scott, I enjoyed the article and didn’t just stop there and read more material on St. Patrick. I’ll be the first to admit that yesterday included employees as well as me, cruising with our comical array of stove pipe hats, my Irish coffee cup, and other memorabilia. Conversations on where the green beer and other Irish dishes was going to be served. Stories of how St. Patrick had something to do with snakes where dispensed by the more educated. Do Christians treat pagan or non-believers differently? Still reminds me of an associate who during Christmas wrote she put some of her non-believer’s Christmas cards with her Christian friends cards…in a way I thought, “is this your way of showing what?” So I regress, and wonder; what is the difference between the great leaders of faith and the general populace of Christians?

Gratitude remains one of the most underrated but essential elements in our busy lives these days. The spiritual rewards for gratitude are bountiful and seep out in our perspective towards others, allowing us to love more. Thanks for sharing this. Great insights.

Is that you?" Matt, thanks for sharing. This reminds me of something similar that Shane Copeland shared during the Ash Wednesday service last month. He reflected on his recent reading of Tim Keller's recent book, Counterfeit Gods, talking about idols in our hearts. I agree with Kelly - that line was the most powerful in your post. Please post more often! “Dad? Is that you?”

Matt, thanks for sharing.

I'll bet you have more to share on a regular basis than you give yourself credit for. I especially appreciate this wisdom: "if any created thing captures your heart more than your God, you’re drowning too." Great post, thanks for sharing Matt!

]]> Comment on I hate having to ask you this, but… by Matt Madison http://thejoshuacollective.com/2010/02/17/i-hate-having-to-ask-you-this-but/#comment-382 Matt Madison Wed, 17 Feb 2010 20:58:07 +0000 http://thejoshuacollective.com/?p=1161#comment-382 Good word Scott. For quite a while now, I have been willing and open to asking people for help if I need something. I'm not shy about it at all. My thinking is that I genuinely want people to let me know if they need my help and as fellow Christians this should be all too easy. What's funny is that my wife is always wanting to do things for others, but then she has a hard time asking others for their help. What happens is we don't allow others to experience the grace that comes when we serve one another. So, if you ever need anything brother, simply ask....and I'm sure I can find someone who will help you out - lol. Just kidding. We're brothers in Christ and there's nothing I wouldn't do for family.
