Church Notes for March, 2015

Something to Ponder:  Old Cherokee Story:  An old Cherokee is telling his grandson about a fight that is going on inside himself.  He said it is between two wolves.

One is evil:  anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is good:  joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf wins?”   the old Cherokee replied, “The one I feed.”

 –from “Living Waters: Daily Reflections for Lent” by Ian Macdonald (p.61)
