Start talking to yourself ... don't listen to yourself talking

This has nothing to do with the Donor Manager, but I thought it was interesting.

I've been helping a bit with a website with resources for Mission Care / Member Care: www.missionarycare.com.

There is a very nice database on the site (by Dr. Ron Koteskey) with short summaries and outlines of over 700 resources related to mental health and missions.

Here's a gem of a quote that I ran across in the database this morning.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones drew my attention to the need to start talking to myself instead of listening to myself talking. So instead of listening to my own catalog of woes, I started cutting myself off rudely in midsentence and telling myself that what I needed was a good dose of perspective restoration.


It struck me and I thought others might benefit as well.
