With ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable.

Being at peace with your finances is a goal and a blessing. It seems that no matter how much is earned, there's always a desire for more. May God bless you to appreciate what you have and embrace the peace in your wallet.

It's a good morning. God, delight me with Your miracles today. Not only do I rely on them, I depend on the miracles of everyday living that
You provide. Dazzle me with the splendor of Your good earth under my feet, the spacious skies overhead, and the sweet air filled with your breath to sustain me. Praise to You — glorious, gracious God Almighty!

Ecclesiastes 9:11 Again I saw that under the sun, the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor
riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.

He blamed Jews for society’s ills on podcasts and live streams. He refused to back down after losing a $1.5-billion sneaker deal with Adidas, among other lucrative partnerships. “I like Hitler,” Ye said in a December interview with Infowars founder Alex Jones. “Hitler has a lot of redeeming qualities.”

The antisemitism reverberated.

Now when people regarded the street artist’s work, they saw something else. Friends and strangers flooded his inbox, asking if he planned to remove it. One wrote: “You have to take responsibility for immortalizing an idiot...read more

SHOW SOME LOVE WITH A PRAYER

My friend Kristina was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The chemo treatments are so brutal that she keeps getting admitted to the hospital. Please pray that her body begins handling the chemo better and pray for the cancer to disappear. She’s a mom of two beautiful kids, an amazing wife and incredible friend. I’ll pass along any well wishes posted or messaged. I want her to know the Payables Family is praying for her healing and well-being. Let’s show her some love.
