Your Mental Attitude - Inspiration
Whatever your lifes desire may be, it will rake on new significance and new appeal for you when that tremendously powerful force we term inspiration takes over command.
All great works of art . . . scientific advancements . . . business developments . . . man s modern conveniences.., elevation of our standard of living . . . greater social and civic freedoms resulted from individual and collective inspiration which devised the necessary machinery to accomplish these ends.
This message is inspired by a burning desire to kindle in your heart the spark of realization that you can achieve anything your mind conceives . . . if youll follow through on your creative imagination with intelligent effort.
Actually, there is very little difference between what you are now and what you would like to be. The very moment you add just a little plus value to what you already have, you will move ahead of the crowd.
The $25,000.00-a-year man doesnt need nor possess ten times the ability of the $2,500.00 a year man. As little as ten per cent edge often accounts for the difference. The answer lies in the fact that one man is inspired to do better, while the other drifts along in complacent satisfaction to be just average.
General Pershing said: America is a nation of peace loving people, but once inspired to defeat tyranny, we astound the world. Production records during the last war did astound the world. These records were accomplished by an inspired people.
YOU will be amazed by the record you can make for yourself through inspiration ... plus a little perspiration.
The strength that lies within you, when properly stimulated by a desire to achieve certain goals, will create a new record for your acquisition of fine friendships . . . greater popularity and advancement . . . substantial and lasting success . . . security.
Right now you are better and smarter than you think you are! Determine this very minute what you want most out of life. Then start out after it! Claim your heritage!
Put your creative imagination to work. Make a definite decision to improve both the quantity and quality of your efforts, today. Arouse those slumbering talents ... accept only the very best life has to offer.
OBEY THAT IMPULSE .. . NOW!
The manner in which one single ray of light, one single precious hint, will clarify and energize the whole mental life of him who receives it, is among the most wonderful and heavenly of intellectual phenomena.

Confronted By The Cross
When they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified [Jesus]. Luke 23:33
|
World-famous Russian author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn was sent to a Siberian prison because he criticized communism. Languishing there under intolerable conditions year after year, he decided to end his life. But suicide, he firmly believed, would be against God's will. He thought it would be better for a guard to shoot him.
So at a public assembly of the prisoners, he sat in a front row, planning to get up and walk toward an exit, compelling a guard to kill him. But to his surprise, another prisoner sat down, blocking his exit. That unknown man leaned over and, to Solzhenitsyn's astonishment, drew a cross on the dirt floor.
The cross! Wondering if that fellow prisoner might be a messenger from God, Solzhenitsyn resolved to endure his imprisonment. There in prison he became a Christian and was eventually set free to bear witness to the world.
Are you in the grip of difficult circumstances? Have you wondered if life is worth living? Focus your heart on the crossit is the message of God's love, forgiveness, and saving grace for you. Invite the Christ of Calvary with His transforming power into your life. Discover for yourself that the Christ of the cross can change you. Vernon Grounds
The cross is my hope for eternity
No merit have I of my own;
The shed blood of Christ my only plea
My trust is in Jesus alone. Christiansen

Psalm 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.
King James Version

Speaking of inspiration, I'm glad I have my television tuned to NBC right now because they are airing a wonderful tribute to the military sponsored by Billy Graham. Lots of great patriotic music, stories by soldiers, and messages from patriotic Americans.
It was great listening to the scenes they included when they played "Letters From Home".

The Good Stuff for 11 December, 2005
The Word
Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel"which means, "God with us."--Matthew 1:19-24
The Founder
"If men of wisdom and knowledge, of moderation and temperance, of patience, fortitude and perseverance, of sobriety and true republican simplicity of manners, of zeal for the honour of the Supreme Being and the welfare of the commonwealth; if men possessed of these other excellent qualities are chosen to fillthe seats of government, we may expect that our affairs will rest on a solid and permanent foundation." --Samuel Adams
The Joke
You read about all these terrorists-most of them came here legally, but they hung around on these expired visas, some for as long as 10 -15 years. Now, compare that to Blockbuster; up until that whole "no late fees" pledge, if you were two days late with a video, those people are all over you. Let's put Blockbuster in charge of immigration.
