FUNNY STORY
Okay so a few weeks ago, Daws wanted to go shopping for some silly bands. He found out what they were while he was at Camp Swoneky for a week. Well, one Saturday I needed to take Max to get his nails trimmed so told Daws that we could stop at CVS for sillybands on our way to SuperPetz to for Max. So, we put Max in the car with us, we drive to CVS first and I cracked the windows like I always do when we leave Max in the car and Daws and I went in the store. Daws and I were looking thru this bin that was filled with sillybands and as we are standing there we feel something furry jump up on us and hear a bunch of people saying awww awww awww. Oh my goodness, we turn around and it was Max!!!! I he must have squeezed his little body thru the window and came running into the store and was able to come right in since the doors at CVS are automatic!!! LOL Daws and I could not believe it!!! I was like Oh my Gosh, what the heck and the ladies at the counter said " its okay, its okay, we have people bring their puppies in all the time!" I scooped Max up and he was shaking like a leaf....scared to death!!!! I double checked to make sure I didnt leave a window all the way down and I sure didn't, he was just able to squeeze thru!!! Needless to say, I am nervous everytime I leave him in the car now!!!!

HAPPY PEOPLE
1. Focusing less on our own goodness and more on Christ's goodness makes us happy.
2. Happy people make good witnesses, that's what rubs off on people. Happy enjoys well being and contentment.
3. A source of unhappiness is caring too much about what other people think and less about what God thinks. People who know their spiritual need, are happy.
4. We get so busy being religious and right that we don't want to be around sinners.........then why would Jesus want to be around us? We get so worn out trying to be right, we have no room left to love.
5. We tend to believe that we have to be all holy and religious before God will do anything in our lives but God saved us before we even knew him! He wants us as we are and HE will clean up our lives - we don't have to clean our lives up before coming to Christ because we need HIM to do it.
6. Jesus loves sinners, he came to save sinners. Get out amongst them because you were one of them and still are! Stop being so religious!
7. Another source of unhappiness is the unwillingness to receive and the unwillingness to give forgiveness.
8. Jesus didn't say, go out and be right all the time, he said for us to love each other as He has loved us. We can love each other and not agree on everything.
9. God embraces us thru His promises, His people, His plan and His presence.
10. If you can just agree on what's most important, you won't get so bent out of shape about the little stuff.
11. Staying away from Church because you are ashamed of your life and sins is like only going to the hospital when you are well!
12. People who cause trouble, are troubled people.
13. You will not find a perfect Church, you will find a Church where people are willing to put up with each other's differences in order to grow.
14. There are still people who do what Jesus did. They have given things up to go into the places that most people won't go into, just to show the love of God.

Anger
1. It is not wrong to feel anger, it's wrong to be controlled by your anger.
2. Anger stops us from being what He has called us to be.
3. Anger burns out passion for God
4. Angry synical people have shorter lifespans, if you want a longer better quality life show more mercy and forgiveness.
5. God wants us to extend the forgiveness that was extended to us.

THE ATTITUDE OF TRANSPARENCY
1. Transparency is important to a Christian life. To be transparent means to be honest and real about your faults and stuggles.
2. Transparency needs to happen or you won't change. Transparency is the door to transformation.
3. To transform means to change in nature and in function.
4. Being transparent is essential to transforming your heart.
5. If you can't be real and at the same time, seek to be different, you will never be different.
6. We don't change overnight. It took us all of our lives to get how we are, so it's going to take God and alot of work to change our hearts.
7. You need a true friend who will hold you accountable and speak the truth to you in Love.
8. Be honest about what you want to be verses who you are now. You can't be transparent with God if you don't trust Him. You can't be transparent with another person if you don't trust them.
9. Trust is the key to transparency, trust that He knows who you really are and He still loves you.
10. If you can find a friend who knows who you really are and they still love you - THAT IS BETTER THAN GOLD!!!!!
11. Of course you can't be transparent with everybody about all your problems but find someone who you can and remember that God is one of them.
12. If we claim to be without sin, then we decieve ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins He will forgive us and purify us from all unrighteousness.
13. GOD made you YOU, don't try to be something you're not! You can't be everything to everybody - you just can't! Do what you can and don't compare yourself to others.
14. You gotta know your limits! It's okay to say no, it's okay to say yes, and its okay to say maybe later. If you try to be everything to everybody and try to be everybodies hero, you're not going to be much for very long!
15. If you can be honest about what you can do well and about what you can't do - IT WILL FREE YOU!
16 If you project an attitude that you don't need help, you are in trouble! When you seek help - guess what happens?.............YOU GET IT!
17. As hard as it is, we have to be honest about who we are and what's going on in us in order to change.
18. Character change is not a one time thing and it's not easily obtained but we need to realize that first of all, we can be real with God and He still loves and forgives us.
19.We need to have people in our lives who we can be real with and who won't turn their back on you in judgment because you will never ever change if you can't be transparent.
