BE GOOD TO OURSELVES

It's always good to be good to all others all the time. That should be on your daily routine. Offering a helping hand whenever you can. I am sure the Lord is on your side here. Sometimes the help may seem minor to you, it can fell major to the other person.Case in point: one summer, while passing a young man asking for just a quarter for help, I had one for him. Seems I was not alone, for he had been doing this for over 18 months. And...while reading the local paper, his picture accompanied an article about his taking the daily money to help his physically disabled brother. All in a home you and I would not recommend. so when see a cry for help, don't always assume they are a con or ripoff artist. Talk with the Lord, He can help you BE GOOD TO OURSELVES.

FAITH COMFORTS THE SOUL

VSL just brought me this named inspirational plaque.Made me think that souls need daily comforting. They are out there..daily meeting life's ups and downs. I have yet to see ups and downs doing any soul comforting. So what's next? Friends, family, and co-workers can only go so far. Spiritual leaders can probably carry it to the next level. But, the soul, as they say. runs deep. Boy, do I know my limitations here. I need help from one who offers me the real faith I need to comfort my soul. Sure, it is my longtime friend, the Lord. Talk with the Lord, to get you the FAITH THAT COMFORTS THE SOUL.

WHEN LIFE GETS TEED-YUS

Fondly remember lunch at Grandma Gs. Over cooked Spam, fresh baked bread, vanilla, milk....plus homemade Welch cookie..we talked of many things. One day I asked how she was doing. Gene, my day is tedious. Before my radio days, i said "What's teed-yus"? That's when, Gene, unexpected things come your way when you least expect them to. Life is like that at times. Lord did give me sense to handle regular activities. But, He also gave me an added solution...talk to Him about it. ..anytime. Thanks Grandma G. When LIFE GETS TEED-YUS,talk with the Lord.

SERIOUS DOWN

Recently we kicked around the idea of a Life Achievement Test(LAT) For me, a life should be a proper balance between the serious life concerns we have and just enjoying life on a regular basis. At times, the scale may tip in either direction, but balance is key. There is not a simple test to determine this balance..yet. Time then for our Serious Down Test.It does allow time to address serious life issues. On the other hand, it allows the light of exposure to the question of overdoing the serious side of life. For even in time of serious serious, a balanced life needs time to serious down.
one way I have found here is to ask yourself.. am I over-serious about it..or come on now let's have some lightening-up. That does not always work, so to keep life in balance and SERIOUS DOWN, I talk with the Lord.

YOU ARE SPECIAL

Political groups you are special if you share similar thoughts.

Hate to burst the bubble, but someone else has the highest trump card.How about one knowing you from day one?Then add knowing a lot about life.

L.A.T. SCORE

My grandsons, Chase(8th grade) and Collin(6th grade are both doing quite well, but like many other students..they can not escape the impact of SAT scores. These are most influential in both choice of school and the financing of that school.It's easy to understand why on a recent Teacher Tournament of Champions one teacher specialized in achievement test tutoring. Why should adults be left out? Never fear, a test is here..the Life Achievement Test(L.A.T.). perhaps the rules should be individualized to each ones real life goals. See a problem here? Who can design the individual test questions? Not me, for sure. I do know one who can. Plus he can offer tips on how to get a good score. Talk with the lord to get your best L.A.T. SCORE.
