CELEBRATION NOTES

November 16, 2025

THANKS FOR THE NOTHING!

The nothing is the breaks and pauses and rest and margin in your life. It is the space between your breaths. The pause

between each beat of your heart. It is the space that is just right now.

DEFEAT YOUR NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. …Romans 12:2

• Your life is always moving in the direction of your strongest thoughts.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are

excellent and worthy of praise. Philippians 4:8

… if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. Philippians 4:8

meditation: to engage in mental exercise; to focus one’s thoughts

I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways.

Psalm 119:15

… I meditate on all your works and consider what your hands have done. Psalm 143:5

“Your focus needs more focus.” —Jackie Chan, in The Karate Kid

• What stronghold is holding you back?
• What truth demolishes that stronghold?
