    <description>Let's face it...life sometimes is hard and can just suck. When we are faced with life's challenges we can be discouraged, get tired, and become weary. What we need is motivation, encouragement, and a helping hand that keeps us going. That's the idea of GRINDIT! We find our strength to endure when we focus on Jesus. God's own Son wasn't exempt from life's challenges and He didn't do anything to deserve what he went through! And yet He did...willingly, therefore we find our hope in Him.

  <description>I own six guitars, a mandolin, a banjo, and a six piece drum set. I'm in my room with them when I'm at home and not once, since I have owned them, have they made a sound unless I pick the strings or beat the drums with some sticks! Guitars have to be played to make sounds! I bought my kids a guitar to learn on and they just sat in their room and was never touched. I even put some new strings on my daughter's guitar yet it sat in her closet until I took it out and made a cool light for my room with it. I paid a lot of money for those guitars, they cost me a great deal. Even greater than these guitars, we have a Savior that paid a great price so our sins can be forgiven yet, unfortunately, many of us never pick up Jesus. We just continue to reject his offer of salvation and we put him in the closet to be forgotten while we are busy doing other things.

  <description>There are many things that can cause I guitar to be out of tune but just looking at it, you wouldn't know it was out of tune. However, once those strings are strummed...oof, it sounds like a nightmare! So the musician retunes the guitar and starts to jam and beautiful music is made. Well, we are like guitars. It doesn't take much to get our lives out of tune with God and what's sad is we don't even realize we are out of tune! We let sin creep in and God becomes distorted. We need the Holy Spirit to get us back in tune so God can use us to make beautiful music for His glory! Are you jammin'?

  <description>A guitar has to be played or the strings will die! If a guitar sits around too long and doesn't get played the strings lose their tone and they will only produce a thud. The same is said about our faith if we don't use it! If we don't put our faith into action...IT WILL DIE! I didn't say it! God did through James! Check it out!
