Equippers Newsletter -- Shorter Version, Just a few Snippets

• "He never thought he cared so much about the second hand . . . " -- From '33 Miles' One Life to Love. Your seconds count! Your minutes count! Love your children. Engage your family. Teach. Make - time - matter.
• "That man is lost, that man is cursed, who can find time for anything, but none to meet with God in is closet." Thomas Brooks, via @JohnPiper on Twitter. Do your kids know how to 'get in the closet with God.' Do you? Are you teaching them? Being still and hearing God -- communing with Him -- is utterly vital to knowing His will, receiving His peace, and having His power. We'll do some teaching on this.
• "Our kids want us more than stuff. If we thought about it, we want them more than stuff too. Fight for a relationship, not stuff," via @dlrunge on Twitter. 'Stuff' season - Christmas - is coming. Make some determinations now about the stuff/relationship balance, and how your schedule and finances will be effected by a God-centered adjustment.
• "Always end the name of your child with a vowel, so that when you yell the name will carry." Bill Cosby. OK, this one has no point but I thought it was funny.
