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!

THANKS KATHY...





I knew a man, called him Sandy Cane.

Few folks even knew his name.

But a hero, yes was he.

Left a boy, came back a man.

Still many just don't understand
about the reasons we are free.

I can't forget the look in his eyes,
or the tears he cried,
as he said these words to me.

All gave some and some gave all.
Some stood through for the
red, white and blue,
and some had to fall.

And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
some gave all.

Now, Sandy Cane is no longer here.
But his words are oh so clear
as they echo throughout our land.

and all his friends who gave us all,
who stood the ground and took the fall
to help their fellow man.

Love your country and live with pride
and don't forget those who died.

America, can't you see
All gave some and some gave all.

Some stood through for the
red, white and blue,
and some had to fall.

And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
some gave all.

And if you ever think of me,
think of all your liberties, and recall,
yes recall,
some gave all.

God Bless America and Our Great Military


Deus vobiscum

From the local news:

10/8/05
Reunion for WWII Vets Who Stormed Omaha Beach



They stormed Omaha Beach on June, 6th 1944 but more than 60 years later their memories of that day still remain strong. There are only about 11 members of 146th Engineering Combat Battalion still alive. The WWII Veterans were part of the deadliest D-Day assault.

Saturday some of them were in Lubbock to remember how they all came together. The group of men have been meeting every year since 1991. They usually get together in Texas, Oklahoma, or Louisiana, since that is where most of them are from.
