MEDITATION ON SUCCESS
"Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it.
Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8) "Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.) A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business." Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business! Doing God's will is the only real guarantee of success. Beginning with the Ten commandments, We must first learn the Laws by which God guarantees success. To learn these laws is not just a mental exercise but the beginning of a way of living, a way which brings the reward of joyful success. Successful people are often asked, "What is the secret of your success?" One person responded, "To live life fully by doing rather than talking." Maybe that is what is meant by the words in Joshua quoted above.
Obedience to God brings happiness, which is real success!

Super....I can't believe how much it has cooled down today. Not even hitting the nineties. I'm loving it! Ran some errands & did some planting.
Thought I'd check in before I start dinner.

It's no fun for the little ones or the folks who answer the door when it's cold. We can't see who cute they are and they get so chilled to bone so easily.

SR it's cooler down there then up here so I'd bet on the jacket for sure. The low tonight is supposed to be 65 degrees. I WILL have the windows open!:)
Red I can't tell you how much I miss Trick or Treating. Halloween is my second favorite holiday. I used to spend hours making my son's costumes.
There aren't really any children in my area that trick or treat. last year I only had a couple of college aged girls! lol (It was still fun) What are the kids dressing up as this year?
