It's not about being thick skinned so much as exhibiting the love of God.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

I find inspiration and comfort in the words of a few religious leaders--Joel Osteen, Father John Corapi and Joyce Meyer, in particular. What I love about Joel is his quiet confidence, his polished and neat appearance, and the fact that he absolutely radiates encouragement. Makes you keep coming back for more because you want some of the stillness and positivity he has clearly got. <br /><br />Great way of linking his communication style to writing!JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-48840137482371079412011-01-17T12:22:27.127-08:002011-01-17T12:22:27.127-08:00Bryan,

It's like a big Tony Robbins event every Sunday - know who you're meant to be and don't stop until you get there.<br /><br />Also, it's hard to beat Lakewood's music. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-7670380210096079362011-01-17T05:43:55.224-08:002011-01-17T05:43:55.224-08:00Jimi,

Love his messaging and get goose-bumps each time he closes with "Do you receive it today".<br /><br />This is a really fine post and I enjoyed reading it.
