We are all very talented people in our own right. God has blessed us with so many different abilities and gifts from birth, and we have cultivated them throughout our lives. But, are we using them only for ourselves, or are we using them to help others find Jesus Christ? God isn’t impressed with the gifts you have or disappointed with the gifts you don’t have. What means something to God is how you use what He gave you, whether that be your ability to carry 400 pounds on your back, or whether you can speak like Winston Churchhill. Here is a daily devotional post from Rick Warren, author of the Purpose Driven Life, on the very subject of using our GOD-GIVEN talents.

The myth of "quality time"
(From All Pro Dads)
Washington D.C.'s first major league baseball team, the Senators, was owned by Clark Griffith, who, in the democratic, give-the-people-what-they-want spirit of the city, said: "Fans like home runs - and we have assembled a pitching staff to please our fans."
Right idea, wrong method. It's the same with the myth of "quality time"... as in "I don't get to spend a lot of time with my kids, but when I do, it's 'quality time.' "
Kids spell love with another four letter word: t-i-m-e. You see, where you spend your time reflects your priorities, and your children know where they stand. Make sure they know they are loved. Spend more time with them.
Do you need to spend more time with your kids? Here's how.
Huddle up with your kids tonight and ask: What would you like to do this weekend?
