Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparent trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.
I had to read this a few times before I felt I understood some of what he was talking about. The little things in life do matter, our choices, thoughts, and words all have lasting implications, for the good of the kingdom or for the Deceiver's advantage. Forming good habits, finding joy in the everyday "tasks," dying to ourselves and following God's will--these will enable us to achieve great victories down the road.

Three great wins by the Mavs in the past week. If we can keep it up over the last five games (and get Devin and Adrian back healthy) then who knows what the playoffs may bring.
Wish I could say the same for the boys of Arlington. C'mon Rangers...
