A Favorite Verse

Here's one of my favorite verses of Scriture. It's Philippians 4:8 (NASB).

Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things.

If you'll allow me a simple paraphrase: Don't assume the worst. Instead, think good thoughts.

As I minister among the inmate population I find myself sharing this little bit of wisdom from Paul's pen over and over again. It's good advice.
