a Jesus thought...
Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done. (Luke 22:42)
a Godly thought...
If you go to a church and there are no unusual people there then something is wrong; if there are no social misfits, no weirdoes, no people with body odour, no people who have poor social skills... the the question is why not? What is it about this church that repels people who don't fit in? The church should be the one place where everyone can feel they belong.
a leading thought...
How do some organisations that once thrived begin to stumble? They are not victims of excessive government regulation. They are not victims of unions. These forms of corporate whining are rather tiresome. It is not their fate or their stars. What happened is quite simple and profound - they are outthought. While they stumbled, others thrived. They are victims of one thing - their own thought patterns. (Stuart Wells from p211 Blackaby)
a Dave thought...
Pediatrician Professor Fiona Stanley says: "Measures that exclude the views and involvement of Aborigines will serve only to further diminish their capacity, exacerbate marginalisation and add to the damage in these vulnerable communities." She emphasises the need to address the complex causes and not just "the appalling manifestations of disadvantage and dysfunction". (The Age)

It is interesting how as a society we continue to stuggle with the complex causes. We need to live with, and be involved with marginalised people, and build relationships and throughout that journey work on solutions together. I believe we, the Salvation Army were born for that and I'm sure Johnny could do with our help right now.Just a thought.
