080418 Friday Focus with Rev. Holly Morales, Snowdoun UMC
Pastor Holly Morales and her husband Arthur are about to move back to the Mobile, Alabama area after a 3 1/2 years charge appointment at Snowdoun United Methodist. Holly recently graduated from Candler Theological Seminary at Emory University with a Masters of Divinity degree. Her pastoral skills are excellent. Her humor is disarming. Her cooking is fantastic (according to her shut-in parishioners who are fed regularly by her).
In this message Holly shares a recent spiritual development tool that helps each of us reduce and even eliminate the character flaw of complaining. Based on advice in 1 Peter 2:23-24: "For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly."
She uses a recent book entitled, "How to Stop Complaining and Enjoy the Life You Always Wanted" (featured at http://acomplaintfreeworld.org) so as to accomplish some immediate verifiable ways to stop complaining.
