Learn To Listen

Learn To Listen

I hope you learn to listen.

In searching for our own significance – listening seems almost lost in our world.

And, someone who can’t stop talking is nearly unbearable to be around.

James 1:19:
So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; 

Proverbs 12:15:
The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, But he who heeds counsel is wise.

I love you.

Take It

Take It

If there is anything you want out of life, go take it for yourself.

A coach I had would always say:

If someone reaches to hand you a one-hundred dollar bill, do you wait and ask, Is this for me?  Are you sure?  Or, do you grab it, say Thanks. And walk away before they change their mind?

Not a great analogy – but the point is made.

Want a better relationship with God?
To have a better family life?
A better relationship with your kids?
To earn a Ph.D.?  An M.D.?
To write a book?
Run a marathon?
Or, start a successful business?

Get up and do it.

Nobody is going to hand it to you.

Action is everything.

I love you.

Waffle House

Waffle House

Is Waffle House still around?

Eat there, often.

Boy, I am a sucker for a big country style breakfast.

Waffle House All-Star Breakfast with black coffee, please.

I am so glad all the times we got to eat there together.

I love you.
