giving 100%

"and whatever you do, in word or deed, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ giving thanks to God the father through him"--col.3:17

God deserves our very best, and everything we say, do and think ought to be done as if we were doing it for Jesus Himself. Here is what would happen in our world if we all thought 99.9% was good enough


12 newborns would be given to the wrong parents each day
114,500 mismatched shoes would be shipped each year
18,322 pieces of mail would be mishandled every hour
315 entries in Webster's dictionary would be misspelled
20,000 drug prescriptions would be written incorrectly each year
5.5 million cases of soda produced would be flat

Give God your best!!!

I'll bet half of those stats are actually better than the real averages.

You know what say though "80% of statistics are false"

Thanks for the reminder, Jon! Learning that God is in every area of our lives and that there is no difference between "secular" and "sacred" has really helped to remind me that our lives are all sacred to God and to be a good steward of the things that He's given us. Christ in me the hope of glory!
