About Me
- Lance Dustin
- I have been married to my wife and hero (Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor) Stacy for 23 years. We have raised three awesome son's. Together Stacy and I have learned that true love can ONLY be tested through time. True Love is tested through hardships, boredom, and pain. True love has to whether through life's busyness, while withstanding the pressures of Job, family, and home, middle and old age. You determine whether the LOVE you have is true over time. Respect each other,encourage each other, and serve each other minute by minute, hour by hour...As time alone will tell!

Daily Word
Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep, Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. Romans 12:14-17.
Paul reflects here on the teachings of Jesus found in Matthew (5:39,44). The genuine unity of the body of Christ is especially evident in the empathy of its members in moments of high joy or deep sorrow. Paul’s language gives the idea of Christians sharing the same thoughts with respect to one another, another indication of the strategic role of the mind in sanctification. One manifestation of this will be an absence of conceit and pride in worldly position. Christians should be distinguished by their readiness to “associate with the lowly.” Many will look at this, and will agree whole heartily. But, at the end of the day is there an evidenced application of this in your life for others to distinguish you?
