Below
is YOUR ONE A DAY (Note from Neil) & "A ONE LINER FOR YOUR SOUL"
Take these two seeds of thought
below and themt into a wisdom tree.
THE DEVIL TAKE THE HINDMOST
The country collapsed under its own weight of greed and it
was not captive to the calendar. It's
flags showed many colors; red and white and blue and others ...the shapes were
different but they all shined bright
with the sheen of selfishness...and like Ancient Rome
they awoke one day broken and ashamed...crucified on a
cross of "meism"...but it was too late ...for their last echo was
just that...
a collective amnesia that kept repeating "I've got
mine and the devil take the hindmost."
A CORONATION
The
voice of God boomed down from heaven, “You are my Son, the Beloved, with you I
am well pleased.” It was coronation
time, a moment of heavenly WOW!
In terms of divine affirmation you
can not get any better. And as an
expression of identification, there it is; the Father’s pride in his earthly
Son.

As some of you know, I once taught archery.
And you may find it interesting that I always taught my students: “Set your hands, the angle of your bow, check the tension of your strings, the straightness of the wooden arrow, that’s what they were 60 years ago, the condition of the feathers and most of all, don’t aim at the target.”
I would repeat myself, “Don’t aim at the target,” just to make sure I had their attention.
And then I would say, “Don’t aim at the bulls eye.”
I’m sure by then many of them were thinking, “Wow! What kind of a teacher is this?”
I would conclude by saying, “Aim at the center of the bulls eye. You won’t hit the center of the bulls eye every time, of course you won’t…but that needs to be your goal. If you just aim at the bulls eye you may actually miss the target completely.”
And that’s life.
It has to have a focus.
Want to get better, be better? Then don’t make it a goal. Make it a mission. Make it a vision.
Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision the people perish.” Until a person knows who he is, where he is going and why he is living, he is destined to become one more miserable member of the Lost and Not Found Department.
“Not that I have already obtained it, or have already become perfect, but I press on in order that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Jesus Christ”(Phil. 3:12).
