Moody directed the man to his hotel window and asked, "What do you see?" The man looked down on the square and reported a view of crowded streets. Moody suggested he look again.

What do you see in five o’clock traffic, a busy restaurant, a crowded waiting room, your neighborhood, or your extended family?
From Mark Silvis’ Sermon "Lessons from the Book of Jonah"

Bone Weary
Contributed by Joseph Smith on Oct 29, 2010
Like Jeremiah, we get bone weary when we feel abandoned, when we are living out of tune with the times, and when we suppress the desire to live in integrity. But In Christ we see one who experienced all this but lives to give us new life.
