What do you do to encourage yourself in this messed up world?

this was a tuff year for me, but i have found listening to positive music, praying, going to christian meetings, and talking about God's kingdom to people.

i find more evidence that the bible is on target for God's day. that keeps me focused on kingdom things and promises.

Being grateful for the many good things in my life, especially my family. Remembering that I am very fortunate compared to a lot of others in this world.

At present, reading about Buddhism and getting back into practicing meditation is helpful.

Knowing that someday it will all end is enough encouragement for me to see just how stupid man will become.

I'm glad I'm not that guy.

In the sense that i'm glad im not some religious gimp.

the salvation of god and his mercy

believe in God and be patient

Just live for myself. :)
