RE-EVALUAGE AND WHY

RE-EVALUATE AND WHY
It will date you, of course, but do you remember the cartoonist Al Capp and his cartoon strip Li’l Abner? Remember the character named Joe Pssst who carried around his own little rain cloud wherever he went?
The Shakespeare syndrome I call it. Remember Hamlet? He must have been a jolly companion to have around all day since the best description of life he could come up with was that it was, “stale, flat and unprofitable.”
Several decades ago, a scientific survey at the University of Wisconsin revealed that professors who had been teaching for 20 years were no better than some teaching only two or three years. But those who, every few years returned to college for refresher courses and to study new techniques, improved. Those who didn’t just stagnated. That’s why it is so important to put God on your calendar and keep Him there. Even a man or woman “born again” needs a daily rebirth, a daily re-evaluation of habits, a daily upgrading, a daily analysis of yesterday’s happenings. We can change for the better but not if we keep tripping over the same old errors.
