They Don't Do Like That Anymore.....


The road I tread has been paved by so many before me. I am humbled by the sacrifice of those who took the time to labor unselfishly to reach a goal and obtain a prize that could not be bought with this world's currency. They were diligent to share all that they heard and had seen. They purposed to change the very course of their family's lives. I am a recipient of such unlimited and relentless pursuits. My gratitude is reflective in my attitude. I say thank you right now, and today to you ma'am and sir for being the examples I needed to anchor to during shaky times in my growing. It is still the teaching and training that you passed along that give me a strong foundation of which I can rely on in this failing hour void of models of integrity and strength. You taught me endurance, and reliance on the power of God's Word, Love, Spirit and Truth. I owe my life to what you were not afraid or stingy to share. You knew who you were and you know who you are. Thanks!

It's alright to stop and get it.....


I was driving today at lunch headed to this Thai place i found to get something to eat. And at least three different times while driving I witnessed individuals who had stopped their cars and gotten out to pick up something that had either flown out of their car or fell off. Whichever way it was, they were now taking their time to collect the things they had lost. They were not worried about those who were driving by and or who were waiting for them to hurry up and move. They had lost something important apparently, and felt the need to go and retrieve what was lost. After I had eaten, and on the way back to the office, I noticed the last car and the Holy Spirit quickened my understanding that often at the pace that we travel in while living, we may lose important principles, and practices through an open window or unsecured door. If we are not watchful and praying, we can become indifferent to the ways of God, and the principles of right living because of our honest quest to achieve, receive, and cleave to more and more of this worlds symbols of success. The Lord reminded me that His principles provide for success that carries over into eternity. Things like, honesty, truth, integrity, sharing, giving, Faithfulness, patience, and endurance. We get it back by daily immersion in the scriptures, prayer, and fellowship with bible believing, Christ loving brothers and Sisters. The pace may be somewhat fast, but it's ok to take a "brake" and get what may have gotten away.
LIVE!
