212 Degrees

At 211 degrees, water is hot.
At 212 degrees, it boils.
And with boiling water comes steam.
And with steam, you can power a train.

That one extra degree changed everything.

How many opportunities have you missed out on because you were not aware of the possibilities that could occur if you applied a small amount of extra effort beyond what you normally do?

What if you thought about 212° in the following ways?

212° As a Friend
Choose to visit or talk with one extra friend each week and create 52 additional discussions among friends for the year.

212° As a Leader
Act in accordance with the understanding that your role is that of developing and encouraging others to succeed by becoming the best they can possibly be.

212° At Home
Eliminate one half hour of television watching each day and you get 182.5 hours each year to allocate elsewhere in your life. (that's the equivalent to four and a half weeks of time per year). Or use that one half hour each day to read your Bible and grow in the Lord.
