Here are some of the things that stood out for me during the first two Saturday sessions:
- We are entitled to personal revelation (i.e. guidance for ourselves as individuals), but we need to desire to receive it. Don't harden your heart and refuse to believe that the Lord wants you to learn about who He is, who you are and who you can become with His help. Ask with the faith that He will respond and seek Him diligently.
- Helping others does not require costly or time consuming programmes. Just do the right thing at the right time - without delay. The Lord expects our thoughts, action, labour and testimony.
- Be careful about how you use your time. The poor use of time is a close cousin to idleness. Let us be as quick to kneel [in prayer] as to text. Don't become a slave to things that rob your precious time.
- Most of what we worry about is not of eternal consequence. And if it is, the Lord will help us handle it.

About Crows (by John Ciardi)
The old crow is getting slow;
the young crow is not.
Of what the young crow does not know,
the old crow knows a lot.
At knowing thins, the old crow is still
the young crow's master.
What does the old crow not know?
How to go faster.
The young crow flies above, below and rings
around the slow old crow.
What does the fast young crow not know?
WHERE TO GO.

How can you not like a poem like that?!!
