201. Let Change Be Your Friend, Mentor, and Inspiration By Roy Thomsitt
     People have a tendency of anticipating pending change on the assumption that it will be bad. Such focus on the negatives contribute to unnecessary fears of change, even when there is really not much, if anything, to fear. Sometimes that fear can be inflamed by self doubt; doubts of our own ability to deal with this new situation that is about to befall us.As such fears are usually unfounded, then hopefully it should not be too difficult to cure…



202. Contemptable Temptation By Vivian Gordon
     Let's look at the lesson we should all pay attention to in the Bible, the flight of the Israelites from Egypt. Was their escape through the Red Sea merely an exploit by God or was there some other signifigance to this act?1 Cor. 10:1-2; Paul says that our forefathers were all under and protected by the cloud (God's presence) that went before them, and everyone of them passed safely through the Red Sea. Exod. 23:21, 14:22,29; says each o…



203. Observations on Life and It's Living By Jeff Herring
     Every year about this time, many parents ask: "For spring break my teen-ager wants to spend a week at the beach with a group of his/her friends without any adults around. We are not sure we should let them do this. What do you think?"My response is an attempt to set things in perspective: Would you let your kid spend an unchaperoned week on Bourbon Street in New Orleans with a group of friends? What's the difference?When you find yourself, as a…



204. A Prison Planet By Robert Baird
     I decreed my ‘twin’ into my life in early 1990. It is a story I tell in other books but I think even Edward House would have a hard time topping my gifts. She was the only woman with a brown card in California when she sat on the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Panel on Prison Reform. A brown card allows you access to all Penal System buildings. She had once been put in prison because the FBI could not catch her Mafia bosses who had duped her and many o…



205. The Hot Tub By Judy Ringer
     I swim most mornings at the community pool and then, if there’s time, reward myself with a soak in the hot tub. It's a great tub with room for four or five people, the water is really hot, and you can turn the bubbles on or off. My favorite soak is when I'm alone and the water is still. I sit quietly and enjoy the serenity before my day begins.One recent morning my hot tub equanimity was interrupted when two people got in, turned on the bubbles…



206. The One Thing You Really Want By Neil Millar
     There is one thing you want...My guess is you want it so badly that you crave it - hunger it.And if you got it, your whole life would light up like the sky during a firework display. The thing is you don’t actually know you want it - well you do, but you won’t know it until you’ve got it, and until you get it, you’ll just notice a great big void in your life. I’ll explain.One thing we all love, above almost anything else, is the admiration and …

208. Tighten Your Connection By Steve Singleton
     It was my first and last experience with a pneumatic drill, which is a jackhammer with a star bit instead of a chisel bit. We four volunteers were to dig a septic tank for the caretaker’s house at a Christian camp. After three feet of digging we hit bedrock--pre-Cambrian limestone. That’s when they showed us how to use the drill.We bored a hole for a dynamite charge to break up the rock. The thunderous blast sent 20-pound chunks of rock a hundr…

211. You Reap What You Sow By Chris Widener
     There is an old principle: You reap what you sow. In fact, it is about as natural of a principle as you can get. When you put an apple seed into the ground, you always get an apple tree. You reap what you sow.Even as this principle works in nature, it also works in our businesses, schools and organizations. Everything that we do is what we are sowing. And while we may not see immediate gains or gratification from our actions, it is true that ev…

220. The Amazing Power of the Human Will By Fran Briggs
     The human will is the most incredible thing. I believe it is the human will that keeps us going, when everyone else expects us to sit, or even quit. I have always been fascinated by the heroes and sheroes who have made indelible marks in world history; and illustrated distinguished triumphs over seemingly, insurmountable adversity.I can vividly recall reading about Wilma Rudolph when I was in grade school. Her life epitomized, "breaking thro…
