Soar With The Eagles
Sample of Daily Encounter by Dick Innes “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31, NIV). Did you know that an eagle knows when the storm is approaching long […]
The Most Important Question!
During my second month of night school, our professor gave us a pop quiz. I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?” Obviously, this was some kind of joke… I had seen the cleaning […]
Words Of Wisdom
“Manage by objectives. Tell people exactly what you want them to do and then get out of their way.” — Brian Tracy “Their’s is an endless road, a hopeless maze, who seek for goods before they seek for God.” — St. Bernard of Clairvaux (1091-1153) “What we see depends mainly on what we look for.” […]
