HAPPY VALETINES DAY 2012

You can beat a drum,  you can beat an egg, you can beat a rug; but nothing beats chocolate! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

just another birthday

Friday the 15th of April was is my 57th birthday. April 14th would have been my sister Pat's 58th birthday. We were born one year, one day, and 5 minutes apart. Only 2 people at my job remember my birthday. My team did not remember. There was no traditional balloons and desk decorations. My extended family (ex-wife and stepson) made a homemade mexican mealm which was nice, but I had to serve myself. I also had to was wash the dishes, since Nina strained her back and foot by standing so long in preparing my special dinner. It got late and the boys were already upstairs, so no birthday cake that night. I ate 2 doughnuts from work. Did I mention no presents, because we don’t have any money. That would never happen on any of their birthdays. They would get very pissed. Should be reading my bible right now to get a better frame of mind.

Window of Opportunity

One tricky fact about windows: What looks like a window of DEFEAT can actually be a window of VICTORY. It simply depends on your perspective. Window of Testimony = The best evangelistgic tool of all time is YOUR story! So you better find an audience. The danger with the Testimony Window is that it wants to close, so you have to fight to keep it open. If you are serious about keeping it open, you will have an undying desire to succeed and grow. Window of Repentance = God's grace will always be here, but you will not. Eternity is closer than you think.

Revivng Your Life

Check your life for a sense of purpose. If you stand for nothing, then you will fall for anything.

Check your life for a pattern of relevance. We are all called to reach people.

Check your life for a spirit of urgency. We can't put off what God is calling us to do TODAY.

Regrets

Small things left unattended to, will cause great disasters.
Small things properly attended to, will lead to great victories!

What you don't deal with in private, God will deal with in public.

I would rather have the pain of discipline, than have the pain of regret.

The trouble with good advice, is that it often interferes with our plans.

Ramdom Thoughts

1. You can have more degrees than a thermometer, but at the top of the ladder is God.
2. A man does not ask for directions. That is man law #15. If he asks, they will take away his man card and make him wear a tutu. That is why your car's GPS is in a woman's voice.
3. People don't see things as they really are. They see things as THEY are.
4. The only way you can change the way people see you.....you have to change the way you see yourself. Your life is a mirror of how you see yourself.
5. Fear is a self full-filling prophecy. If you think you will fail, then you will.
6. The tongue is the smallest part of the body, but it can control your path. Like a rudder on a boat. Small but directional.
