Clinton’s Dictionary

It’s a thick book, you can tell.
Quite a lot of work went in it.
But for such a weighty tome,
You can finish in a minute.

For the list of words is short,
Only seventeen in all.
But those tortured definitions,
Turned into an order tall!

Is is not a simple wordlet.
Is means is and so much more,
Like a new hall that you wander,
With every opening of a door.

Page by page the meanings ramble,
Each word is a book itself.
Now you know why Clinton’s Library,
Takes up more than just one shelf.

Ode to a Turkey Buzzard

by Kenneth

You watch in proud and silent dignity,

Shy in the presence of vain Chlorophonia

and the glory of Yellow-throated Euphonia.

Take heart, great bird,

Fly high, grace the beautiful little sky

with your winged and grand display.

Know well, the world is better

for your scorned scavenging.

Could we ask for less?

Who else to clean up the mess?

Neighborly Love

Read:
Ephesians 4:29-32

Love your neighbor as yourself. -Matthew 22:39

Bible In One Year: Joshua 13-15

The Carnegie Foundation discovered that to be successful on the job, relational skills are far more important than knowledge. Its research found that only 15 percent of a person's success is determined by job knowledge and technical skills. Eighty-five percent is determined by an individual's attitude and ability to relate to other people.

Scripture commands us to "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32). In fact, it tells us to love our "neighbor" as we love ourselves (Matthew 22:39). And a neighbor is not only someone who lives near us or works next to us, but anyone we meet on life's journey-especially those in need.

So having an attitude of courtesy, care, and concern for others is a basic spiritual principle. It is also the most important guideline for congenial and happy relationships. Indeed, it is even the golden key to vocational success.

Our purpose for modeling a Christlike spirit of neighborly love, though, is that we want to obey God, not just to achieve success at work. After all, our supreme vocation as believers is to embody and practice the neighbor-loving character of our Lord. -Vernon Grounds

Who measures how we've done in life
And judges our success?
Our God, who gives rewards to those
Who live in righteousness. -Branon

Those who love God will love their neighbor.
