4th of July,,,One Minute for Reflection July 05, 2007 |
Great achievements begin in the mind. Let the ripples of wicked and evil lead to making ripples. Don't fear being different. Don't fear offending people who get bent out shape because they don't like what you say or do. Don't fear downside consequences to the point where you can't bring yourself to take action. Above all, don't fear making big ripples. Do things no one has ever done before. Shock your competitors. Leapfrog over the pack. I guess it's true some only talk and think big thoughts. The ultimate nightmare for such is waking up to discover you are going in the opposite direction from your intented purpose. For them, acceptance and money may be more important than dignity or purpose. Which is unfortunate, because success and the desire for acceptance are mutually exclusive objectives. Whatever your occupation, if you say or do something that gets half the world angry - or at least indignant - the other half is almost certain to love you. And guess what? You don't need half the people in the world loving you in order to get everything you need in life. One-tenth of one percent will do just fine, thank you. Finally, I ask you to pray for us. Pray first that the Lord's message will spread rapidly and be honored wherever it goes, just as it came to you. Pray, we will be saved from ripples of wicked and evil. Know the Lord is faithful; He makes us strong to guard against evil.… May the Lord bring you into an ever deeper understanding of His love and endurance. Here's a special "shout out" to Rev. Edward J. Enim and our Missionaries in Ghana, West Africa. We pray the mission is fruitful and the harvest most bountiful. Coast For Christ You owe it to yourself to Re-read Declaration of Independence? All in that we may become truely united and a better nation. All The Best, Art PS.
