Questions to Ponder

admin — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 01:03:36 +0000

Ponder on these questions

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world?
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners?
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant?
4 Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize?
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress?
6. Name the past decade’s worth of World Series winners?

How did you do?
The point is, none of us remember the headlines of yesterday. These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.

BUT the applause dies… Awards tarnish… Achievements are forgotten… Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

How will you do on this one?

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school?
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time?
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile?
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special?
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with?

Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials… the most money… or the most awards. Their simply the ones who care the most about you!

Who are the people that have either made a difference in your life, or you keep close in your heart? Take time to Thank Someone Today.

Old Farmers Advice – Tickle your funny bone

admin — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 22:20:39 +0000

Old Farmer’s Advice:

Your fences need to be horse-high, pig-tight and bull-strong.

Keep skunks and bankers at a distance.

Life is simpler when you plow around the stump.

A bumble bee is considerably faster than a John Deere tractor.

Words that soak into your ears are whispered – not yelled.

Meanness don’t jes’ happen overnight.

Forgive your enemies; it messes up their heads.

Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.

It don’t take a very big person to carry a grudge.

You cannot unsay a cruel word.

Every path has a few puddles.

When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty.

The best sermons are lived, not preached.

Most of the stuff people worry about ain’t never gonna happen anyway.

Don ‘t judge folks by their relatives.

Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll enjoy it a second time.

Don ‘t interfere with somethin’ that ain’t bothering you none.

Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a Rain dance.

If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop diggin’.

Sometimes you get, and sometimes you get got.

The biggest troublemaker you’ll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every mornin’.

Always drink upstream from the herd.

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lotta that comes from bad judgment.

Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier than puttin’ it back in.

If you get to thinkin’ you’re a person of some influence, try orderin’ somebody else’s dog around..

Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Don’t pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he’ll just kill you.

And, Sometimes all you can do is smile and wait fr some kind soul to come pull ya out the mess you’ve gotten yrrr self into.

In Loving Memory – The Last Touch

admin — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:46:06 +0000

In Loving Memory of my wife – or In loving memory of my husband below

Update: One of my readers informs me – this is actually a song by Lex de Azevedo – thanks for that info. It must be a gorgeous song.

“THE LAST TOUCH”
Their first touch at seventeen was in the park,
And the moon was full.
She was beautiful to him,
And her hair was long and her eyes were blue
And her skin was warm and she turned to him.
And he thought that he knew what love was.
Another touch was at twenty-two,
On their wedding night.
And the stars were bright.
She was beautiful to him.

And her hair smelled sweet and her lips were full
And her skin was warm and she turned to him
And he thought that he knew what love was.

And then again at twenty-five, when the baby came
And the sun was high.
She was beautiful to him.
And her hair was damp and her fingers shook
And her skin was warm and she turned to him.
And he thought that he knew what love was.

Later on at fifty-four, setting on the porch,
All the children gone.
She was beautiful to him.
And her hair was grey and her forehead lined
And her skin was warm and she turned to him.
And he thought that he knew what love was.

Their last touch at eighty-five was by her bed
And the moon was full.
She was beautiful to him.
And her hair was thin and her eyes were closed
And her skin was cold and He turned to her,
And he knew that he knew what love was.

After eighty-five years of laughter and tears
He knew that he knew what love was.

In Loving Memory of My Husband

“THE LAST TOUCH”
Their first touch at seventeen was in the park,
And the moon was full.
He was handsome to her,
And his hair was brown and his eyes were blue
And his skin was warm and he turned to her.
And she thought that she knew what love was.
Another touch was at twenty-two,
On their wedding night.
And the stars were bright.
He was handsome to her.

And his hair smelled fresh and his lips were sweet
And his skin was warm and he turned to her
And she thought that she knew what love was.

And then again at twenty-five, when the baby came
And the sun was high.
He was handsome to her.
And his hair was damp and his fingers shook
And his skin was warm and he turned to her.
And she thought that she knew what love was.

Later on at fifty-four, setting on the porch,
All the children gone.
He was handsome to her,
And his hair was grey and his forehead lined
And his skin was warm and he turned to her.
And she thought that she knew what love was.

Their last touch at sixty-five was by his bed
And the moon was full.
He was handsome to her,
And his hair was thin and his eyes were closed
And his skin was cold and She turned to him.
And she knew that she knew what love was.

After sixty-five years of laughter and tears
She knew that she knew what love was.

Everything I need to know I learned from Noah’s Ark

admin — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 01:33:37 +0000

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah ‘s Ark.

One: Don’t miss the boat.

Two: Remember that we are all in the same boat.

Three: Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.

Four: Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really
big.

Five: Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.

Six: Build your future on high ground.

Seven: For safety sake, travel in pairs.

Eight: Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.

Nine: When you’re stressed, float a while.

Ten: Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.

Remember: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a perfect rainbow waiting.

That woodpecker has got to go!

Rejoice in the Lord! – It’s Christmas!

admin — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 21:04:25 +0000

Rejoice in the Lord! It’s Christmas!
May the holy remembrance
Of the First Christmas Day
Be our reassurance
Christ is not far away…
For on Christmas He came
To walk here on earth,
So let us find joy
In the news of His birth.
And let us find comfort
And strength for each day
In knowing that Christ
Walked this same earthly way…
So He knows all our needs
And He hears every prayer
And He keeps all “His Children”
Always safe in His care…
And whenever we’re troubled
And lost in despair
We have but to seek Him
And ask Him in prayer
To guide and direct us
And help us to bear
Our sickness and sorrow,
Our worry and care…
So once more at Christmas
Let the whole world rejoice
In the knowledge He answers
Every prayer that we voice.

Christmas in Heaven poem

ChristmasTime is Friendship Time

admin — Tue, 01 Dec 2009 01:30:28 +0000

At Christmas time our hearts reach out

To friends we think of dearly

And checking through our Friendship lists,

As all of us do yearly,

We stop a while to reminisce

And to pleasantly review

Happy little happenings

And things we used to do–

And though we’ve been too busy

To keep in touch all year,

We send a Christmas greeting

at this season of GOOD CHEER–

So Christmas is a “lovely link”

Between old years and new

That keeps the “Bond of Friendship

Forever unbroken and true.

True Life Stories – Erik Weihenmayer

admin — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:25:22 +0000

Mount Everest

A few years ago, 33 year old Erik Weihenmayer dreamed of climbing Mount Everest, a feat that defies many of the world’s most expert climbers. In fact, nearly 90% of those who attempt the climb never reach the summit. Temperatures sink lower than 30 degrees below zero. Besides extreme cold, 100 mile per hour winds, deadly crevasses, and avalanches, the climber must overcome the challenges of high altitude, lack of oxygen, and perhaps unsanitary food and water.

Since 1953, at least 165 climbers have died in the attempt to scale the 29,000 foot high summit.

In spite of the risks, hundreds line up each year to make the ascent, Erik among them. But there is one important difference between Erik and every other climber who has attempted to ascend before, Erik is totally blind.

When Erik was 13 years of age, he lost his sight as a result of a hereditary disease of the retina. Although he could no longer do many of the things he wanted to, he was determined not to waste his life feeling depressed and useless. He began to stretch his limits.

At age 16 he discovered rock climbing. By feeling the face of the rock, he found handholds and footholds that allowed him to climb. Sixteen years later, he began his ascent up Mount Everest. The story of his climb, as you might imagine, was filled with many harrowing and life threatening challenges. But Erik eventually scaled the south summit and took his place with those who had gone before him, one of the few to stand on top of the highest mountain on the face of the earth.

When asked how he did it, Erik said, “I just kept thinking….Keep your mind focused. Don’t let all that doubt and fear and frustration get in the way.” Then, most importantly, he said, “Just take each day step by step.”

Erik conquered Everest by simply putting one foot in front of the other, and continued to do so till he reached the top.

Like Erik, we may have obstacles that would hold us back. We may even make excuses why we can’t do what we want to do. Perhaps when we are tempted to justify our own lack of achievement, we could remember Erik, who, in spite of having lost his sight, accomplished what many thought was impossible – simply by continuing to put one foot in front of the other.

An old proverb states that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

Sometimes we make the process harder than we need to. We will never make a journey of a thousand mile by fretting about how long it will take or how hard it will be. We make the journey by taking each day step by step and then repeating it again and again until we reach our destination.

The Nobel Peace Prize

admin — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 04:01:03 +0000

“A CALL TO ACTION” - This morning, Michelle and I awoke to some surprising and humbling news. At 6 a.m., we received word that I’d been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009.

To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who’ve been honored by this prize — men and women who’ve inspired me and inspired the entire world through their courageous pursuit of peace.

But I also know that throughout history the Nobel Peace Prize has not just been used to honor specific achievement; it’s also been used as a means to give momentum to a set of causes.

That is why I’ve said that I will accept this award as a call to action, a call for all nations and all peoples to confront the common challenges of the 21st century. These challenges won’t all be met during my presidency, or even my lifetime. But I know these challenges can be met so long as it’s recognized that they will not be met by one person or one nation alone.

This award — and the call to action that comes with it — does not belong simply to me or my administration; it belongs to all people around the world who have fought for justice and for peace. And most of all, it belongs to you, the men and women of America, who have dared to hope and have worked so hard to make our world a little better.

So today we humbly recommit to the important work that we’ve begun together. I’m grateful that you’ve stood with me thus far, and I’m honored to continue our vital work in the years to come.

Thank you,

President Barack Obama
