 Hearing people gossip all the time can be so annoying! How can you put a stop to it? |  Feeling overly busy? Open up your schedule to someone in need—you'll be so glad you did! You'll put a smile on both your faces. |  Do you have 10 minutes to dedicate to improving your life? Challenge yourself to stay committed to growing each day. |
 Be a gentle listener as you pray about leaders in governments around the world. |  Think about what tone of voice you use as you speak, and discipline yourself to always communicate love and compassion. |  Don't let laziness, peer pressure, competition keep us from doing our best. Paul tells us to get to work; no excuses. |
 Resurrection—it's not just for Jesus. |  Get creative—leap over those mental blocks, with God's help. |  Don't let criticism get under your skin—and challenge yourself not to criticize anyone. |
 Get your mindset right before starting any new endeavor—including a new school year. |  Consider forming a wisdom circle to further your spiritual growth. |  Pray for the world, then write your own psalm and share it with others. |
 Resolve to put God first every day. Now that a resolution that's worth keeping! | | |
