It was a mild summer day in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina when I boarded United Airline flight 7318 to Washington, DC. Like usual, I promptly located my window seat, with no doubts that the pilots would safely take me to my destination.
     Suddenly, as I sat gazing out of the window waiting for take-off, certain questions unfolded in my mind. I wondered, "Who are these pilots that I wholeheartedly entrust with my life?" I wondered about my surety of knowing that they would, or could take me to my destination. I also pondered on "Why it is that I -- or we as individuals, trustingly and unwaveringly allow others to continuously pilot our lives without questions or reservations?"
     We permit others to pilot our lives while we unquestionably find our seat near the window - just watching - watching our lives quickly pass by. We lack faith in ourselves, because too often, we allow others such as bosses, friends, family and even enemies, to navigate our lives. We allow others to pilot our lives because of their negative words. We allow others to pilot our lives because they claim to know what is best for us. We live on autopilot without a clue as to where we are headed, or how we will get there.
     We must declare that we will no longer allow other people to take control of our lives - or of our future. No matter how cloudy things look, no matter how dark our past is, we must remember that God is in control.
     Allow God to be your pilot -- as you co-pilot your own life into a prosperous and promising future.
     Declare today: I will no longer sit back and allow other people to control my life into an uncertain and discontented future. The past is behind me -- and only the best is yet to come!

The one question I keep coming back to is..."Am I involved with life the way God wants me to be involved?"That's it. Nothin' fancy.Now two related questions for you:1. If that question doesn't ring true with you, how would you modify it to be *most* meaningful to you?2.

3. Thoughts on Loving By Debra Rashid
Loving. It seems like such a simple concept. But those who have mastered the act of loving are close to non existent. I’m not so much talking about the love between a husband and a wife, a father and a son, or the love between two friends…I’m talking about love in a more general sense. The love that isn’t concerned with what it will get in return, for there can be no expectations with this type of love. I’m talking about the love of mankin…

4. The Brilliant You, Unreleased! By Fran Briggs
You're a remarkable person. But, you knew that already. Still, buried among apathy, unbelief and inhibition, is the brilliant "you" waiting to be released. You already knew that, too. A few disappointments here, several temporary defeats there, and POOF! just like that, you settled for being a risk-conscious, opportunity: self-denied, generality. Nobody makes any progress by standing still. You're not an exception; and you're not alone.In …
