“In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.”

Good stories are driven by conflict, tension, and high stakes.

Pray as if EVERYTHING is depended on God, and work as if EVERYTHING depended upon man.

Faith Without Works is Dead. James 2:26

A little girl really seemed to believe in the power of prayer. Her parents frequently were amazed at the boldness with which their daughter prayed, and in her unswerving confidence that God had not only heard her prayers, but was in the process of answering them in the the way she desired.

One day her older borther made a little trap to catch sparrows, and the girl found this very offensive. She felt sorry for the birds that might be caught, and was angry and upset that her brother would do such a thing. When he failed to respond to her arguments and pleas, she informed him and her entire family. "I'm going to pray about this."

Three nights later her face seemed almost radiant as she said her bedtime prayers, voicing with absolute faith her belief that the traps would be futile and that no birds would be harmed. After she had finished her prayer, her mother asked, "Child, how can you be so positive about this?"

The little girl smile and said, "BECAUSE I WENT OUT THERE THREE DAYS AGO AND KICKED THE TRAP TO PIECES.":

While it may be unwise to take every matter into our own hands, we are always wise to begin by putting all matters into God's Hands!

Sometime when you’re feeling important;
Sometime when your ego’s in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room,

Sometime when you feel that your going
Would leave an unfillable hole,
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul;

Take a bucket and fill it with water,
Put your hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that’s remaining
Is a measure of how you’ll be missed.

You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you’ll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.

The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There’s no indispensable man.
