I'll have to take a closer look at them.Nate Justishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992348916538450259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144090423283481188.post-64437901615054066322011-07-21T17:20:37.867-06:002011-07-21T17:20:37.867-06:00Awesome blog, Nate.

I feel like my knee-jerk or human nature response to most situations is the one that might bring temporary hapiness (looking out for only myself), but when I can put off those tendencies and try to become a saint (serving others), I find peace and long-lasting true joy.Rachel's Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03143309749192853519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5144090423283481188.post-12613672939430472112011-07-21T14:31:03.943-06:002011-07-21T14:31:03.943-06:00I volunteer for a program called Neighbors Helping...I volunteer for a program called Neighbors Helping Neighbors, a non-profit organization that helps the elderly. I have two "clients", elderly women who just need help picking up groceries or taking them to the store. Most days I look forward to going to visit with them and helping them. But some days I can feel Satan creeping into my mind. He puts thoughts into my mind such as "I could just cancel today, I am really tired" or "I have a million other things that need to get done, the clients can just wait another day or so." I have to remind myself that it is Satan talking and to just go out and serve no matter what.Tiana Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501089154581231180noreply@blogger.com
