When was the last time you were challenged to do something really…
well… great?
.
President Abraham Lincoln helped me to understand that there is a
bit of greatness within all of us. It is said that he often slipped
out of the White House on Wednesday evenings to listen to the
sermons of Dr. Phineas Gurley at New York Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
.
He generally preferred to come and go unnoticed, so when Dr.
Gurley knew the president was coming, he left his study door open.
On one of those occasions, the president quietly entered through a
side door of the church, took his seat in the minister’s study,
located just off the sanctuary, and propped the door open just wide
enough to hear the preacher.
.
During the walk home one Wednesday evening, an aide asked Mr.
Lincoln his appraisal of the sermon. The president thoughtfully
replied, “The content was excellent… he delivered with
eloquence… he had put work into the message..”
.
“Then you thought it was an excellent sermon?” questioned the aide.

A New Relationship with Time
(An excerpt from Dreams Are Whispers from the Soul)
..
Probably no other complaint is voiced more often than not having enough time.
“I don’t have time to pursue my dreams or to even know what my dreams are. I don’t have time for me, for my family and friends. Basically, I don’t have time to live my life.”
..
Passion is the ultimate time management tool for two reasons. First, when you are doing what you love, who cares about time? When you are with someone special, or listening to a great piece of music, or painting or volunteering, doesn’t time just fly by? Second, when you are doing what you love it often gets done faster.

A dear friend sent this to me…..

THINK ON THESE ‘SMILE-Y’ THINGS
Something cool that Xerox is doing…..
If you go to this web site, www.letssaythanks.com you can pick out a
thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a
soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can’t pick out who
gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.
How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send
one!!! This is a great site. Please send a card. It is FREE and
it only takes a few minutes of your time.
Let us NOT get caught up in the negative perception that the
Media portrays our Armed Services. No matter where they are, they
are there so we as individuals don’t have to be,
They Volunteered to Protect US with their Lives!
