The Fax of Life
A weekly inspiration, courtesy of the Kiwanis Club of Scott's Valley
September 17, 2006 Volume 11 Number 51
1. Living Faith is the ability to not panic when the unpleasant or unexpected happens.
2. If you worry, you likely didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is like calling home every day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still, so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit not religious nuts.
8. Learn to pray in trhe following manner: "Dear God: I have a problem. It's me."
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day. It's like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people. Treat them with value.
12. Growing old is inevitable; growing up is optional.
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
14. Grudges and trials are heavy things to carry. We've been told where to leave them - do it!
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16. We do not remember days but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it, otherwise it's just hearsay.
18. It is all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle. It only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.
