TITLES AND POWER

Now I see why powerful people often wear sunglasses--the spotlight blinds them to reality. They suffer from a delusion that power means something. They suffer from the misconception that titles make a difference. They are under the impression that earthly authority will make a heavenly difference. Can I prove my point?

Take this quiz:

* Name the last ten Heisman trophy winners.
* Name the last ten winners of the Miss America contest.
* Name eight people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
* How about the last ten Academy Award winners for best picture...
* or the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do? I didn't do well either. With the exception of you trivia hounds, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday too well. Surprising how quickly we forget, isn't it? And what I've mentioned above are no second-rate achievements. These are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

* Think of three people you enjoy spending time with.
* Name ten people who have taught you something worthwhile.
* Name five friends who have helped you in a difficult time.
* List a few teachers who have aided your journey through school.
* Name half a dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you.

Easier? It was for me, too. The lesson...the people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concern.

This example of naming past winners in Sports was also utilized in one of the locker room scenes from the Christian movie FACING THE GIANTS.

Good evening, lightman, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

And a “blessed Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost (Western)/Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost & Sunday After the Exaltation of the Cross† (Orthodox) to all!”

“†New Calendar Orthodox (majority of North America) celebrate the Exaltation of the Cross on September 14. The Old Calendar (Julian) date corresponds to September 27.”

We have been getting enough drizzles every day that we are pushing an inch of rain over the last week.

How are you doing?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day and Shavua Tov to you and yours.

Are you and Blue getting any together time? Leaves are turning quickly here.

[Jet Jaguar]

It worked for me. Thanks Kathy!

[lightman]

We had a very nice soaking rain Thursday morning and again Thursday late evening...inch and a quarter altogether.

Next week looks like many days of drizzle, sometimes steadier rain, and sub-seasonal temperatures with lows in the upper 40’s and highs only in the 50’s...more like early November.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ExcursionGuy84, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Thanks for the interesting fact.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Shavua Tov.
Wishing all our Jewish troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners
a peaceful and prosperous week.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, JJ...((HUGS))...and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Prayers for our troops, veterans, families, allies, friends, and Canteeners

Extra prayers for Israel...

He Who blessed our forefathers Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - may He bless the fighters of the Israel Defense Force, who stand guard over our land and the cities of our G-d from the border of the Lebanon to the desert of Egypt, and from the Great Sea unto the approach of the Aravah, on the land, in the air, and on the sea.

May HASHEM cause the enemies who rise up against us to be struck down before them. May the Holy One, Blessed is He, preserve and rescue our fighting men from every trouble and distress and from every plague and illness, and may He send blessing and success in their every endeavor.

May He lead our enemies under their sway and may He grant them salvation and crown them with victory. And may there be fulfilled for them the verse: For it is Hashem, your G-d, Who goes with you to battle your enemies for you to save you.

G-d bless and keep your children safe, Alouette.

[Kathy in Alaska]
