Jerry Tompkins unbuttoned his suit coat to be more comfortable....<br /><br />His hand reached down and touched the rose on the empty seat next to him.....<br /><br />His daughter, Sara Tompkins, had just walked up to the podium......<br /><br />Her blue eyes beamed, her smile was broad, her teeth glistened.....<br /><br />Her blonde hair flowed from beneath her graduation cap, to her shoulders and her gown.....<br /><br />She set her notes on the podium, looked out over the crowd, and began....<br /><br /><i>”Dear Sutherland Class of 2011, parents, family, and friends,....”<br /><br />“Principal Patterson, Sutherland Faculty, Staff, and Alumni.....”<br /><br />“Today, as the 2011 Valedictorian, I will call this speech, <br />'Your Legacy Starts NOW!’”<br /><br />“As we leave this school today, our “Legacy” as a student stops today!!”<br /><br />“Unless we were ‘State Champions’ and a trophy is on display in the hall.....”<br /><br />“A year from now, FEW people will even remember that you were even here!!”<br /><br />“The only TRUE ‘Legacy” you can have is through the family you are a part of......”<br /><br />“And the family that someday, YOU will create with your spouse!!”<br /><br />“Seventeen plus years ago, my Mom set forth a ‘Legacy” that impacts ME.....”<br /><br />“Even to this day........and after what I received this morning, today as well!!”<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TPKrS-q3LdI/AAAAAAAAAWg/gR0kN2HrStw/s1600/graduation.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 259px; height: 194px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TPKrS-q3LdI/AAAAAAAAAWg/gR0kN2HrStw/s320/graduation.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544682433795272146" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />“For those of you that do not know, when my Mom was pregnant with me.....”<br /><br />“She had become very ill, tests revealed she had a severe cancerous tumor.....”<br /><br />“Being pregnant, there was no treatment available for her......”<br /><br />“Some doctors tried to encourage her to terminate the pregnancy......”<br /><br />“BUT, they could NOT guarantee that she would still survive.....”<br /><br />“She decided quickly, to carry ME to term, so that ONE life will be spared.....”<br /><br />“My Mom died, holding me in her arms when I was barely four months old!!!”<br /><br />“My Dad, though grieved by the loss of his wife, cared for me like NO OTHER Dad would!!”</i><br /><br />She glanced, lovingly, at her Dad, seated in the front row......he smiled back to her!!<br /><br /><i>”He took care of me, helped me when I was sick, taught me things, hugged me.....”<br /><br />“Loved me when I was bad, Praised me when I did good, helped me with my homework....”<br /><br />“Took me to sports, summer camp, and is ALWAYS my biggest FAN!!!”<br /><br />“I LOVE my Dad......but today, I want to tell you about my MOM!!!”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />“As soon as my Mom knew she was sick, she started journaling......”<br /><br />“Everything that happened to her, how she felt, her thoughts about her pregnancy!”<br /><br />“She even wrote a journal to ME as I was inside her.......and continued once I was born....”<br /><br />“She wrote as much as she could, each day, and wrote as long as she had the energy to write!!”<br /><br />“She wrote her dreams for me, her hopes for me, and what God told her about me!!”<br /><br />“The thing that touches my heart the most.......is what I want to share with you now...”<br /><br />“She wrote a letter to me, for each year, and put it into a Birthday card......”<br /><br />“Until I could read by myself, my Dad would read them to me......”<br /><br />“I still have them all.......and read them frequently......they mean ALOT to me!!”<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />“For my tenth Birthday, she writes......”<br /><br />“Dear Sara, Today you turn 10.

we sit back to enjoy our Thanksgiving Holiday......<br /><br /><br />I wanted to do what I do best......<br /><br /><br />Make you THINK about something in YOUR life!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Almost four hundred years ago, people set out from England....<br /><br /><br />Aboard some ships that were heading to the New World.......<br /><br /><br />More than half of the travelers did NOT survive the trip across the Ocean...<br /><br /><br />The first year in the New World, half of the survivors.....<br /><br /><br />Did NOT survive the first cold winter!!<br /><br /><br />It was a difficult new life style.....<br /><br /><br />These Pilgrims, as we know them, had alot to learn......<br /><br /><br />Their greatest teachers, were the Native Indians.....<br /><br /><br />They helped the Pilgrims with hunting.....<br /><br /><br />With fishing......<br /><br /><br />And growing native vegetables.....<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TO5nb9Kx0hI/AAAAAAAAAV4/uUX58Zat-k8/s1600/First-Thanksgiving1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5543481921313559058" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />The very FIRST Thanksgiving, as we call it.......<br /><br /><br />Was based on the harvest......<br /><br /><br />Of the vegetables grown and the game hunted!!!<br /><br /><br />Thus.....it was really a "Harvest Dinner"<br /><br /><br />More so then a "Thanksgiving Dinner"<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TO5nb7VNQ7I/AAAAAAAAAWA/06pQw6xA4wQ/s1600/thanksgiving-meal.jpg"><img style="display:block;

/>A "Harvest Dinner" means you had to plant something......<br /><br /><br />A seed........ a plant........<br /><br /><br />In hopes that when it matures .....<br /><br /><br />You can harvest what YOU have planted.....<br /><br /><br />Has grown into what it was supposed to become.....<br /><br /><br />So, as the year 2010 comes to an end......<br /><br /><br />As YOU belly up to the Thanksgiving table.....<br /><br /><br />What have YOU planted in the past year????<br /><br /><br />What has it has grown into this year????<br /><br /><br />May I warn YOU???<br /><br /><br />EVERYTHING that you plant WILL come to a harvest......<br /><br /><br />Whether it is POSITIVE........or NEGATIVE....<br /><br /><br />Whatever YOU plant.......will grow and NEED to be harvested!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/><br /><br />Smiles...........Tears.........<br /><br /><br />Passion..........Revulsion........</i></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What have YOU planted????<br /><br /><br />What will YOU harvest????<br /><br /><br />So when you push away from the table today......<br /><br /><br />No room for another dinner roll.....<br /><br /><br />Swagger in to watch ONE MORE football game......<br /><br /><br />Ponder what you have done for the past year.....<br /><br /><br /><b>Are YOU truly <i>"Thankful"</i>????</b><br /><br /><br />If you ARE......then you ARE blessed!!!<br /><br /><br />Enjoy the fruits of your planting!!!<br /><br /><br />If you are NOT......you CAN change!!!<br /><br /><br />Change for the better NOW......<br /><br /><br />Plan on planting better seeds for the New Year......<br /><br /><br />BUT, do NOT wait to start......do it NOW!!!<br /><br /><br />You WILL be surprised......<br /><br /><br />On how quickly things will change for YOU!!!<br /><br /><br />So allow ME to encourage YOU......<br /><br /><br />It is NOT that hard.......<br /><br /><br />Have a GREAT Holiday<br /><br /><br /><i><b>Happy Thanksgiving!!!</i></b><br /><br /><br /><a

recently was listening to a GREAT CD that I received....<br /><br /><br />From Cowboy Joe Schroeder where he was talking about.....<br /><br /><br />1000 gallon jugs FULL of water, and 56 gallons NOT full of water.....<br /><br /><br />He said that the 1000 jugs did not KNOW what it was like....<br /><br /><br />To be lacking, to be wanting, to be of NEED....<br /><br /><br />Because their NATURE.....they have ALWAYS been full....<br /><br /><br />Hmmmmmmmm, I rubbed my chin as I pondered!!!<br /><br /><br />I started thinking about a river, and for this example....<br /><br /><br />Let us talk about the GREAT Mississippi River!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The GREAT Mississippi River cuts right through the center of the United States....<br /><br /><br />It was a daunting task for earlier Pioneers to cross it on their westward travels....<br /><br /><br />Great cities have sprouted up around it....<br /><br /><br />Commerce has grown around it as well.....<br /><br /><br />BUT, allow me to share with YOU the natural aspects of the "GREAT River"....<br /><br /><br />In recent years, it has become known for its damaging floods.....<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The GREAT Mississippi River takes in water from all kinds of sources....<br /><br /><br />It comes in from rain, creeks, streams, and other rivers......<br /><br /><br />They flow naturally into the "GREAT River" and fill it.....<br /><br /><br />But it does not hoard, hide, or keep this water.....<br /><br /><br />It naturally lets the water flow through it<br /><br /><br />EVERYTHING that the river takes in.......it gives back out.....<br /><br /><br />It is the river's "Natural Order"......<br /><br /><br />It does not know any different......<br /><br /><br />The ONLY one that notice......or have problems.....<br /><br /><br />With the "Natural Order" of the river is MAN!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />When the river is running low......<br /><br /><br />Not as much water is flowing to and through the river.....<br /><br /><br />Man will start saying things like.....<br /><br /><br />"It is the WORST drought in ten years!!<br /><br /><br />"Global warming!!!"<br /><br /><br />"Ships cannot navigate with the low river!!!"<br /><br /><br />BUT......the River does NOT know any different....<br /><br /><br />It STILL takes in and gives out an EQUAL amount.....<br /><br /><br />No matter what.....no change!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />On the other side of the spectrum......<br /><br /><br />When the river floods.......it is STILL......<br /><br /><br />Taking IN and giving OUT to the same degree.....<br /><br /><br />When it overflows it's banks and devastates the area....<br /><br /><br />On either side of the banks......again MAN complains....<br /><br /><br />Of the DAMAGE done by the River.....<br /><br /><br />When IT did not do this intentionally to damage.....<br /><br /><br />It GAVE OUT what it TOOK IN!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />FINALLY......man will alter the Natural Order of a river.....<br /><br /><br />By placing a DAM in the river.....<br /><br /><br />They will interrupt the flow....<br /><br /><br />To harness it's energy to produce their own energy.....<br /><br /><br />It will reduce the river and control it....<br /><br /><br />BUT......the lower portion of the river....<br /><br /><br />Will STILL give out to the equal degree that goes in.....<br /><br /><br />Only REDUCED by MAN.....stealing from it energy!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />What about YOU????<br /><br /><br />What has been YOUR "Natural Order"???<br /><br /><br />ALL of the Energy, Information, Love, and Wisdom......<br /><br /><br />Have YOU given OUT.....to the SAME degree as YOU have taken in???<br /><br /><br />If YOU have not......then YOU have built.....<br /><br /><br />Your OWN DAM in your OWN river.....<br /><br /><br />EXCEPT.......are YOU ready for THIS?????<br /><br /><br />You have NOT "produced" any energy with it.....<br /><br /><br />YOU have harnessed it......hoarded it......WASTED it.....<br /><br /><br />For YOUR OWN use......your OWN SELFISHNESS......<br /><br /><br />You have created a POND with in your life.....<br /><br /><br />Stopped being a river......<br /><br /><br />Break through the dam.....tear it DOWN.....<br /><br /><br />Give OUT equal to what YOU have taken IN.......<br /><br /><br />BLESS others......TEACH others......LOVE others.....<br /><br /><br />OH WAIT.....ready for THIS PART?????<br /><br /><br />If YOU give out MORE than YOU have taken in......<br /><br /><br />Then YOU are giving OTHERS a portion of YOU!!!!<br /><br /><br />The World NEEDS what YOU have received and what YOU are!!!<br /><br /><br />Open UP.....FLOW.....FLOW some more.....<br /><br /><br />It IS your Natural Order!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I AM........JASON NAGEL<br /><br /><br />Call or text: 585-202-3333<br /><br /><br />Email:

convenience…..<br /><br />Because we have grown accustom to it……<br /><br />Could YOU imagine what it was like……<br /><br />100 years ago…….or 200 years ago???<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Take yourself back…..<br /><br />The first Pioneers that headed west…….<br /><br />What did they do when they stumbled upon……<br /><br />The Great Mississippi River???<br /><br />How WILL they get to the other side???<br /><br />How did they get across???<br /><br />It took some ingenuity at first……<br /><br />They cut down some trees…..<br /><br />Tied them together into a raft…..<br /><br />I’m sure they lost some belongings…..<br /><br />Not being <i>proficient</i> raft builders…..<br /><br /><br /><a

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5517158636936708242" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />As time worn on……<br /><br />More Pioneers moved west…..<br /><br />Settlements started popping up on the east side……<br /><br />Free thinking, entrepreneurial types set up shop…..<br /><br />Built sturdy barges to cross the river…..<br /><br />They charged people to cross the river…..<br /><br />Multiple <i>barge owners</i> popped up…..<br /><br />Vying to take your money to help you……<br /><br />To get acrossed the river!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />You had three choices to get across the river…..<br /><br />The first way was all by yourself…..<br /><br />Cut down some trees…..<br /><br />Tie them together……<br /><br />Load your belongings…..<br /><br />Your livestock…..<br /><br />Your wagon……<br /><br />And your family……<br /><br /><i>Hopefully</i> you got it all across…..<br /><br />Some things would fall off…..<br /><br />Some of it lost forever…..<br /><br />But under your OWN ingenuity and determination……<br /><br />You got across the river to the next Frontier!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Your next option was around the riverbank settlement……<br /><br />You looked for the barge owners set up there…..<br /><br />You found the man that <i>looked like</i> he knew his business…..<br /><br />He had the biggest signs…..<br /><br />Talked the loudest……and fastest……<br /><br /><i>”Sure Buddy, I can get you across!!!”<br /><br />“I need this much money, upfront……”<br /><br />“We will load up and leave at the first dawn!!”</i><br /><br />You get there the next morning……<br /><br />Find the barge and owner long gone…..<br /><br />Later that day, the barge returns…..<br /><br />A different man is operating it…..<br /><br />He has no idea who YOU are……<br /><br />Or anything about the other guy…..<br /><br />Or where your money is!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />The third option takes a little time…..<br /><br />You start asking the <i>towns folk</i>…..<br /><br />Who the most reputable barge operator…..<br /><br />Once you start getting a significant responses…..<br /><br />Concerning the same man…..<br /><br />You approach him, to talk to him…..<br /><br />You find he is far different than the first guy….<br /><br />He agrees to make sure everything you own…..<br /><br />Gets safely to the other side…….<br /><br /><i>BEFORE</i> he takes your money!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Okay…….back to reality……<br /><br />The river you have before YOU, is <i>LIFE</i>…..<br /><br />You want to travel from the side of…….<br /><br />The <i>employee-minded</i> person…..<br /><br />To the <i>home business Entrepreneur</i>side……<br /><br />You can go the route as my Pioneers did……<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Do it ALL by yourself…..<br /><br />It takes longer to get there…..<br /><br />You get some <i>bumps and bruises</i> along the way…..<br /><br />Not saying it is <i>not satisfying</i> to….<br /><br /><i>”Do It Yourself”</i>!!!<br /><br />BUT, you have to stay focused….<br /><br />Determined…….<br /><br />Focused…….<br /><br /><i>Stick-to-it-ness</i>…….<br /><br />And did I mention, <i>stay focused</i>????<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The next option is <i>look for help</i>……<br /><br />To the first guy you see……<br /><br />Big signs…..<br /><br />Big hype…..<br /><br />Fast talking……<br /><br />Promises you the <i>sun, moon, and stars</i>……<br /><br />And then disappears with your money…..<br /><br />Never to be seen again……<br /><br />And there you stand on the riverbank……<br /><br />Wondering, <i>“what the heck???”</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Finally……you ask around…..<br /><br />You ask others, who they suggest…..<br /><br />Who they recommend…..<br /><br />Once you start hearing a name…..<br /><br />Over and over again……<br /><br />You then go and talk to him……<br /><br />Or HER………<br /><br />People that have <i>been there, done that</i>…..<br /><br />For a number of years…..<br /><br />Their training is <i><u>dripping</i></u> with INTEGRITY……<br /><br />You would be a fool to not follow them…..<br /><br />Listen to them…..<br /><br />Eat the crumbs from their table…..<br /><br />Just to get to where YOU belong…..<br /><br />Across the river!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />May I suggest the best way to cross the river???<br /><br />Come hang out in a

was somewhere near the first of July......<br /><br />My wife and I were <i>Newlyweds</i>.....<br /><br />Living and working in Colorado Springs, Colorado.....<br /><br />My Mom called me from upstate New York.....<br /><br /><i>"Your Uncle Chuck died yesterday!!"</i><br /><br />She told me the details on where and how....<br /><br />He had been sick for awhile.....<br /><br />When he died it was quick and painless!!<br /><br /><i>"I want to go home for the funeral!"</i><br /><br />I told my wife, she wanted to come too!!<br /><br />Uncle Chuck was my <i>favorite</i> Uncle....<br /><br />As well as my "Confirmation Sponsor".....<br /><br />I continued to say......<br /><br /><i>"The sad part is that I don't know......"<br /><br />"IF I would be so willing, if it was my Dad!!"</i><br /><br />My parents had been divorced since I was seven.....<br /><br />Only getting to see him once or twice a year.....<br /><br />The sad part truly is.....<br /><br />THREE MONTHS later, I had to make that choice!!<br /><br />At the time, I was an Insurance salesman.....<br /><br />Some company by the name of <i>Prudential</i>.....<br /><br />My wife and I lived in a townhouse in the Springs.....<br /><br />After dinner I went on some <i>sales calls</i>.....<br /><br />I first stopped by a neighbor's house.....<br /><br />When I walked back to my car, it was odd.....<br /><br />The curtains were open to our back deck.....<br /><br />The sliding glass door was open.....<br /><br />The outside light was on....<br /><br />I tossed my briefcase into my car....<br /><br />When I closed the door....<br /><br />My wife heard it and ran to the door.....<br /><br />My brother in law was on the phone and wanted ME....<br /><br />I went inside and she handed me the phone....<br /><br /><i>This was LONG before cordless phones and cell phones!!</i><br /><br />We get along great and joke around ALOT......<br /><br />So, I started right in with the <i>horsing around</i>.....<br /><br />After awhile he tried stopping me.....<br /><br /><i>"Jason, I need you to stop!!"<br /><br />"No more joking, calm down please!!"</i><br /><br />So, I settled and said, <i>"What's up??"</i><br /><br /><i>"They found your Dad dead this morning!!"<br /><br />"They figure he had been there two days!!"</i><br /><br />My Dad lived in a <i>Senior Citizen Apartment Building</i><br /><br />They have a card on their door.....<br /><br />That needs to be turned every day....<br /><br />If the next day, it is not turned.....<br /><br />They first call you....<br /><br />Then they will enter the apartment....<br /><br />Usually with Police and EMS there....<br /><br />They figure he had turned his card for the next day....<br /><br />Fell, hit his head, and died right there.....<br /><br />Thus it took two days before his card was wrong!!<br /><br />That evening, on the phone.......<br /><br />I cried!!<br /><br />I cried because my <i>father</i> died<br /><br />My <i>Dad</i> died when I was seven!!<br /><br />There's a BIG difference between the two!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Next thing we find out.....<br /><br />He had NOTHING to his name.....<br /><br />No Life Insurance or anything.....<br /><br />ALL of us kids would have to pitch in.....<br /><br />To PAY for his funeral!!<br /><br />Luckily, one of my brothers did some checking.....<br /><br />My Dad was a World War 2 Veteran.....<br /><br />So the Veteran's Administration picked up the tab....<br /><br />No big fancy funeral with procession....<br /><br />The funeral home let the family meet them graveside....<br /><br />For a small, informal service.....<br /><br />The next day, we had a Church Memorial Service.....<br /><br />Followed by a gathering at one of my brother's house....<br /><br />When we went through his stuff....<br /><br />We learned things about him.....<br /><br />He had his Army medical records.....<br /><br />He was hurt or sick every month for something....<br /><br />There was a picture that had been in the local paper.....<br /><br />Of him and his four brothers.....<br /><br />Off to War at the same time.....<br /><br />He kept things we made while in Scouts.....<br /><br />He kept things that HE considered <i>special</i>.....<br /><br />But do you know what???<br /><br />How much MORE special would it have been.....<br /><br />IF we knew these things while he was ALIVE???<br /><br />He died .....lonely....<br /><br />Miserable.....<br /><br />Lost......<br /><br />Forgotten.....<br /><br />Broke.....<br /><br />What a SAD way to come to the end of LIFE!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />SO......why am I telling YOU this????<br /><br />First off.......so that I can make a confession.....<br /><br />Or is it a <i>Proclamation</i>???<br /><br />I <u>refuse</u> to die like this!!!<br /><br />I <u>refuse</u> to die alone!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />BUT.....for YOU, My Friend......<br /><br />Remember what I said earlier???<br /><br /><i>"I cried because 'My Father' died......"<br /><br />"My Dad died YEARS before that!!!"</i><br /><br />How are YOU doing with YOUR family???<br /><br />Are YOU a "Good Dad"???<br /><br />Are YOU a "Good Mom"????<br /><br /><i>(YES....this can happen with women too!!)</i><br /><br />Joe Schroeder once told me......<br /><br /><i>"The ONLY people that will care how you look......"<br /><br />"Will be the 8 people standing around YOUR deathbed!!"</i><br /><br />If YOU were to die......TODAY.....<br /><br />Will people <i>cry</i> because you are gone???<br /><br />Or will they <i>rejoice</i> because you are gone???<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I also stated that my Dad died broke....<br /><br />On Disability forever......<br /><br />Then Social Security.....<br /><br /><i>Pauper's wages</i> from the government!!<br /><br />Do NOT be a <i>financial burden</i> for your family!!<br /><br />It is bad enough having the <i>emotional</i> burden<br /><br />Do not let <i>lack</i> be a burden too!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />MOST of you reading this....<br /><br />Are <i>trying</i> to build your OWN economy......<br /><br />Joe Schroeder also

is a BOY!!!"</i><br /><br />Exclaimed the Nurse.......<br /><br /><i>"Yeah......we already KNOW!!!!"</i> I said.....<br /><br />The Nurse had that <i>cocked-head</i>, confused puppy look.....<br /><br />We have seen that look for the past few months.......<br /><br />We just gave birth to our SIXTH child......<br /><br />Throughout the pregnancy, people asked.....<br /><br /><i>"Do you know if it's a 'boy' or a 'girl'???"</i><br /><br />I would reply, <i>"Oh, it IS a boy!!!"<br /><br />"You had an ultrasound done?????"</i><br /><br />Was <i>usually</i> the next question......<br /><br /><i>"NOPE......those are too expensive......."<br /><br />"We just KNOW that it is!!!!"</i><br /><br />THAT is when we FIRST saw the old.....<br /><br />Cocked heads and funny looks on people!!!<br /><br />Allow me to explain......<br /><br />It was towards the end of 1998......<br /><br />My wife and I had some issues to deal with….<br /><br />Personal, financial, and very emotional……<br /><br />It was a very tough time……<br /><br />With some bright spots, here and there……<br /><br />It is during these tough times….<br /><br />As YOU will see, that I LEARN the most!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />At this point in our lives……<br /><br />We had been married 14 years…..<br /><br />Had FIVE children already…..<br /><br />Two boys and three girls…..<br /><br />Ranging from 1 year to 12 years old…..<br /><br />The job I had was “Local” driving….<br /><br />Home every night……<br /><br />During the pinnacle of this troubling time….<br /><br />We had been having….<br /><br />I got sent on an overnight trip…..<br /><br />This trip took me to Michigan…..<br /><br />I took my “required” time off in a motel…..<br /><br />I do NOT sleep well in motels….<br /><br /><i>(Still do NOT to this day!!)</i><br /><br />A friend had recently given me a booklet to read….<br /><br />It was called <i>”Finishing Well”</i>….<br /><br />By Pastor Greg Laurie from California….<br /><br />I have heard him speak, and liked him….<br /><br />So I took the booklet to read!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The booklet, <i>”Finishing Well”</i>….<br /><br />Is about people in the Bible…..<br /><br />That started well….yet finished miserably….<br /><br />Or those that started miserably….<br /><br />And “finished well”, thus the title….<br /><br />The main focus was about a man called “Caleb”….<br /><br />He went into the <i>Promised Land</i>, as a spy…..<br /><br />With eleven other men….<br /><br />Caleb and Joshua were the only TWO that said…..<br /><br /><i>”Yes they are GIANTS……”<br /><br />“But with God’s help we will be victorious!!!”</i><br /><br />Unfortunately, the ten <i>naysayers</i> had the stronger voice…..<br /><br />Conquer the land……they did not do…..<br /><br />Thus the wandering in the desert for forty plus years…..<br /><br />Until the <i>naysayers</i> died off…..<br /><br />Moses had promised Caleb that HE would be blessed….<br /><br />When he enters the Promised Land……<br /><br />On that day, at age 85…..<br /><br />Still strong and powerful…..<br /><br />He stood before Joshua to receive what was promised!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Alone in my motel room…..<br /><br />I read every word…..<br /><br />Was <i>enthralled</i> with the story……<br /><br />I heard in my head…….<br /><br />YES……I <u>heard</u> in my head…..<br /><br /><i>”Caleb Daniel”</i>!!<br /><br />I replied, <i>”Who is that???”<br /><br />“Your son!!”</i>, is what I heard next……<br /><br /><i>”Yeah….okay…..what son???</i> I asked….<br /><br /><i>”The one that will be born near your Birthday!!”</i><br /><br />Okay, I thought….this is interesting…..<br /><br />Being the diligent husband that I am…..<br /><br />I paid attention to that <i>monthly</i> activity…..<br /><br />Remembered the last time we got <i>cozy</i>…..<br /><br />Thought…..ya know what???<br /><br />It IS possible!!!<br /><br />The next couple of weeks dragged….<br /><br />I did NOT rush home to tell my wife……until…..<br /><br /><i>”Honey, shouldn’t you have had something by now??”</i><br /><br />A trip to the drug store…..<br /><br />A little stop in the bathroom……<br /><br /><i>”Guess what Honey???”</i> my wife asked…..<br /><br />I said, <i>”I know!! Come sit down!!”</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />It was the weirdest feeling…..<br /><br />Over the next few months….<br /><br />KNOWING that you KNOW…..<br /><br />KNOWING that GOD gave YOU…..<br /><br />A <i>Heads Up</i> about it too…..<br /><br />What special thing is in my son’s future???<br /><br />Big deal, Jason…..cool story…..<br /><br /><i>WHAT’S your point here????</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />GOD saw me at my lowest…..<br /><br />Reached down to touch ME….<br /><br />A truck driver from New York…..<br /><br />Life was miserable….<br /><br />Marriage had issues……<br /><br />HE got me when I was alone…..<br /><br />And spoke TO me!!<br /><br />BUT…..do YOU want to know <b>reality</b>????<br /><br />He speaks to ME every DAY!!!<br /><br />It is just at this time in my life…..<br /><br />My mouth was SHUT and my ears were OPEN!!!<br /><br />I wasn’t <i>”busy”</i> with LIFE so much…..<br /><br />That I was able to RECEIVE……<br /><br />What HE had to offer me!!!<br /><br />How often have I heard the phrase……<br /><br /><i>”Be still and know that HE is GOD!!!”</i><br /><br />Can I tell YOU another secret I have learned???<br /><br />When I am <i>too busy</i> to hear HIM…..<br /><br />He <i>removes things</i> that are distracting ME….<br /><br />From listening to HIM!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />AGAIN……Big Deal, Jason……<br /><br />That’s GREAT for YOU……<br /><br />But what does this have to do with ME????<br /><br /><b>PLENTY!!!!</b><br /><br />God doesn’t want our <i>”Laundry List”</i> of……<br /><br /><i>”Please God, Bless ME with……(fill in the blank)!”</i><br /><br />Do YOU ever wonder why we have TWO ears….<br /><br />And ONLY <u>ONE</u> mouth???<br /><br />So that we <i>listen</i> twice as much…..<br /><br />More than we speak!!!<br /><br />BUT….we do NOT do that!!<br /><br />Then we are soooooo busy…..<br /><br />Family issues….<br /><br />Kid’s sports…..<br /><br />Home business…..<br /><br />Facebooking….<br /><br />Twittering…..<br /><br />Texting……<br /><br />Chatting…….<br /><br />If YOU won’t LISTEN……<br /><br />He will make it so that you DO!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>OH…..WAIT…..THIS IS THE <u>BEST</u> PART!!!</b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />He wants to talk to YOU……<br /><br />Because He has so much to tell YOU…..<br /><br />So much to show YOU…..<br /><br />And so much to BLESS you with!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b>Sidenote</b>, before I finish……<br /><br />I am writing this to ALL kinds of people…..<br /><br />Christians, Atheists, Agnostics, Tree Huggers…..<br /><br />WHATEVER!!!!<br /><br />I <u>NEVER</u> once pushed ANY God on YOU!!<br /><br />Whatever GOD that YOU believe in…..<br /><br />Is the GOD that wants to talk to YOU!!<br /><br /><b><i>’Nuff said????</i></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><b><u>BECAUSE</b></u>…….<br /><br />The God that wants to <i>talk</i> to YOU…..<br /><br />Wants to be able to talk……..<br /><br /><b><i><u>THROUGH</u> YOU!!!!</b></i><br /><br />He wants to USE you as an “Open Vessel”……<br /><br />Hmmmmm….seems like I just wrote about THAT!!!<br /><br />HE wants to fill YOU up……<br /><br />POUR you out…..<br /><br />So that YOU can bless PEOPLE……<br /><br />That God can ONLY reach……<br /><br />THROUGH You!!!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Are YOU open???<br /><br />Are YOU listening???<br /><br />Are YOU able to receive???<br /><br />Are YOU an “Open Vessel”???<br /><br />A very WISE Mentor of mine has stated……<br /><br /><br /><i>”God Can Only Do For YOU,”<br />“What God Can Do Through YOU!!”</i><br /><br />OR…….<br /><br /><i>”What YOU Give Away……”<br />“You Always Get To KEEP!!”</i><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A friend asked me yesterday…..<br /><br /><i>”What’s the theme for your next note??</i><br /><br />I replied……<i>”Whatever hits ME!!”</i><br /><br />This one HIT me hard!!!<br /><br />(this is the 2nd time writing it-LOST the first one!)<br /><br />I have been that “Open Vessel”…..<br /><br />I have been blessing YOU for the past five minutes…..<br /><br />What has been spoken INTO me…..<br /><br />Has now been spoken <i>through</i> ME<br /><br />What YOU do with it…..<br /><br />Is

week, I drive about 2700 miles......<br /><br />Mostly highway driving......<br /><br />Most of the time with a 48 foot....<br /><br />Or 53 foot long trailer.....<br /><br />As I have said in the past.....<br /><br />On occasion, TWO 48 footers in tandem!!<br /><br />I shift UP through the 10 speeds.....<br /><br />And downshift when needed.....<br /><br />"Floating the gears".......<br /><br />Which means, "not using the clutch" to do so.....<br /><br /><br /><br />(THAT is a whole new note all by itself!!)<br /><br /><br /><br />Recently, while eating lunch with a friend.....<br /><br />He asked me, <i>"What DANGERS do YOU face......."<br /><br />"On a DAILY basis, that I do not?????</i><br /><br />I stumbled upon that thought and replied.....<br /><br /><i>"I have NEVER thought about it!!"</i><br /><br />And could NOT come up with an answer......<br /><br />An hour down the road....... <br /><br />While sitting in my "Thinking Seat"......<br /><br />I answered his question, it follows......<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><i>"The Dangers I Face Every Day!!"<b><br /> <br />1) I have to WATCH what YOU are doing!<br /> <br />2) I have to "ANTICIPATE" what YOU "INTEND" to do!!<br /> <br />3) I have to leave myself an "Escape Route", <br /> just in case what YOU "INTENDED" and the other guy <br /> "INTENDED" puts ALL of us in a situation<br /> NONE OF us anticipated!!<br /> <br />4) I have to be ready for changing situations on the road.....<br /> tires blowing out, cars losing control, <br /> debris falling from God knows where!!<br /> <br />5) I have to be able to handle changing weather <br /> conditions and <u>have</u> experienced <br /> ALL four seasons in ONE day!<br /> <br />6) Be able to repeat Step 1 thru 4......<br /> <u>10,000 times a day</u>, because EACH <br /> new passing vehicle <br /> starts the cycle all over AGAIN!!</i></b><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So I am paying attention to ALOT going on......<br /><br />In front of me, beside me, and behind me......<br /><br />I have LARGE rear-view mirrors on both sides.....<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TDc1WAnBfPI/AAAAAAAAASU/enllTI2RSAI/s1600/mirror+1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

/></a><br /><br />I admit, I do not <i>scan</i> them as often.....<br /><br />As I probably should......<br /><br />But I do have GREAT peripheral vision!!!<br /><br />The rear-view mirror tells ME alot!!!<br /><br />First off, if my trailer is STILL behind me!!!<br /><br />- If my refrigeration unit is working properly<br /><br />- Whether my lights are working<br /><br />- Whether I am "maintaining" my space in my lane<br /><br />- If I got passed that vehicle yet, or not<br /><br />- Watch the vehicles passing me<br /><br />- If Emergency Vehicles are behind me<br /><br />- Yes, if that Police car wants to MEET me!!!<br /><br />- I have witnessed "accidents" in my mirror<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />There is a whole slew of things......<br /><br />That I can do with my rearview mirrors....<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TDc1WjAGrsI/AAAAAAAAASc/WieaOPx2gMY/s1600/mirror+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5491916932070682306" /></a><br /><br />But I cannot <i>dwell</i> on what is in my mirrors.....<br /><br />At 65 mph, there is ALOT more going on.......<br /><br />In <i>front of ME</i><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TDc3rJ3JRCI/AAAAAAAAATM/oVBDs_tvPJw/s1600/river+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

danger.....<br /><br />Right in FRONT of me!!!<br /><br />Some of YOU are probably saying.......<br /><br /><i>"Uhhhh, no duhhhh, Jason!!!"</i><br /><br />Allow ME to cap off TODAY's lesson!!!!<br

LOVE the way these <i>thoughts</i> come to me!!!!<br /><br />Yesterday morning, I wrote a note......<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?drafts&id=1039206535#!/note.php?note_id=443210874362">"If It Is Called "Independence Day".....How Come YOU Are NOT?????"</a><br /><br />Then my Pastor was sharing some facts about......<br /><br />The <i>signers</i> of the <i>Declaration of Independence</i><br /><br /><Photo 4><br /><br />Fifty six men were sent to the Continental Congress.....<br /><br />Held in Philadelphia.....<br /><br />They were sent from the thirteen colonies.....<br /><br />As that colonies representative......<br /><br />There was nothing special about any ONE of them.....<br /><br />Only nine of them were rich enough to own Plantations....<br /><br />The rest were from various walks of life....<br /><br />Store owners, tradesmen, farmers, etc......<br /><br />ALL fifty-six men signed the <i>Declaration</i>.....<br /><br />The King of England was NOT impressed, nor pleased.....<br /><br />About the <i>Declaration of Independence</i>.......<br /><br />While the war went on, the fifty six <i>signers</i>......<br /><br />Were chased, captured, harrassed, destroyed.....<br /><br />By the British Army......<br /><br />Five were captured and tortured until they died....<br /><br />Others had their homes and property.....<br /><br />Ransacked and destroyed......<br /><br />Others were <i>on the run</i> constantly......<br /><br />Others lost their families.....<br /><br />One man had to leave his wife's deathbed.....<br /><br />In fear of being captured and killed himself......<br /><br />But do YOU want to know what?????<br /><br />I'd be willing to bet YOU......<br /><br />That if they had to do it again.......<br /><br />Each ONE would grab that stylus.....<br /><br />Dip it in the bottle of ink.....<br /><br />And sign their name on that parchment AGAIN!!!!<br /><br /><Photo 6><br /><br />Especially if they could see what their signing......<br /><br />Did for those thirteen colonies......<br /><br />And the rest of the American <i>territory</i>!!!<br /><br />So why did I mention ONLY, John Hancock?????<br /><br />John Hancock, as everybody knows......<br /><br />Signed his name extra large.....<br /><br />Jokingly stating, his doing so.....<br /><br /><i>"So the King cannot deny that I signed it!"</i><br /><br /><Photo 2><br /><br />His signature stands out from the rest.....<br /><br />Top CENTER of ALL of the signatures.....<br /><br />While everybody else.....<br /><br />Signed a <i>normal</i> signature.....<br /><br />Nothing special, nothing unique.....<br /><br />Nothing out of the ordinary.......<br /><br />Do NOT draw attention to ME.......<br /><br />Eventhough their signature on it......<br /><br />DID draw attention to THEM!!!!<br /><br />So to YOU, my friends out there......<br /><br />YOU have decided to try to become an Entrepreneur.....<br /><br />YOU put yourself out there in the WORLD.....<br /><br />Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Blogging, Ezine articles......<br /><br />YouTube, Flickr, and a <i>myriad</i> of other places.....<br /><br />As YOU are doing ALL of that.....<br /><br />Are YOU doing it as a <i>John Hancock</i>?????<br /><br />Or as the <i>other</i> 55 signers????<br /><br />Fit in...... normal...... amongst the crowd.........<br /><br /><i>"Oh GAWD, if they notice ME........"<br /><br />" I might HAVE TO actually DO something!!!!</i><br /><br />Movers and shakers of THIS WORLD......<br /><br />Are <i>"Can-Do Artists".....<br /><br />"Preachers of Plenty"........<br /><br />"Ministers of More"......</i><br /><br />People that ARE NOT afraid of the end result.....<br /><br />So they put their signature down.....<br /><br /><b>LARGE......<br /><br />ON THE TOP......<br /><br />AND DEAD CENTER!!!!!</b><br /><br />In EVERYTHING that they

hundred and thirty four years ago......<br /><br />A group of political leaders from the then 13 colonies......<br /><br />From the British Colonies of America.....<br /><br />Met in the small city of Philadelphia.....<br /><br />Signed a document penned by Thomas Jefferson.....<br /><br />Declaring the Colonies "Independence"......<br /><br />From the tyrannical leadership of the King of England!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TDB879daR0I/AAAAAAAAAR0/AEu-pFyUrxA/s1600/Declaration.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5490025315316680514" /></a><br /><br />The war for Independence had already started....<br /><br />Hundreds of lives had been lost on the battlefields already.....<br /><br />Dying for the "Cause" of Independence!!!<br /><br />Ironically, now two hundred plus years later.....<br /><br />Our "elected" leaders are doing similar "tyrannical leadership".....<br /><br />Voting for legislation that their constituents have told them....<br /><br />That they do NOT want it!!!!<br /><br />They have and are continuing to raise our taxes....<br /><br />By calling them "needed programs" for OUR benefit!!!<br /><br />Yeah.......right!!!! =-(<br /><br />Do WE "need" another revolution????<br /><br />I don't know.....but real CHANGE is needed.....SOON!!!<br /><br />Anyhow......two hundred PLUS years ago.....<br /><br />We truly WON our Independence......<br /><br />But are we really??????<br /><br />Think about it for a moment......<br /><br />Recently, I commented to somebody......<br /><br />"FREEDOM is truly a 'state of mind'!!"<br /><br />How do you figure that, Jason?????<br /><br />If YOU are truly an INDEPENDANT person.....<br /><br />Why are you a slave to a "J-O-B"?????<br /><br />Where you go before a man......<br /><br />Exchange YOUR TIME for a cash price.....<br /><br />That HE, the man, determines.....<br /><br />And if YOU go before him to ask for more......<br /><br />He "might" show YOU the door and tell you to leave!!<br /><br />If YOU are truly Independant......<br /><br />Why haven't YOU set forth on a trail......<br

“Home Meeting” is tomorrow night at 7pm…..<br /><br />Sally, the stay-at-home Mom……<br /><br />And up and coming home business <i>Dynamo</i>……<br /><br />Was hosting a Company “Home Biz Op Meeting”…..<br /><br />She has recruited some friends…..<br /><br />Invited some family and friends over……<br /><br />Other <i>Members</i> with prospects are coming.....<br /><br />Her <i>”Manager”</i> and HIS <i>”Manager”</i>…..<br /><br />Were going to do the <i>”Presentation”</i>……<br /><br />They asked Sally to……<br /><br /><i>”Give a short ‘background’ presentation…..”<br /><br />“To ‘tell’ people about YOU!!!”</i><br /><br />Sally had been trying to work on that….<br /><br />In the meantime, she had to “clean-up”….<br /><br />Make her living room look <i>outstanding</i>……<br /><br />There was <i>something wrong</i> with the carpet….<br /><br />She couldn’t put her finger on it…..<br /><br />She called a “Carpet Cleaner” to come over….<br /><br />It is 10 am, her doorbell rings…..<br /><br /><i>”Right on time! Just as he promised!!”</i><br /><br />Sally realized, as she looked at the clock…..<br /><br />Opening the door, she saw a man wear a casual uniform….<br /><br />Company logo on one side of his uniform shirt……<br /><br /><i>”Good morning, I am ‘Ray’ and I am here to help YOU!!”</i><br /><br /><i>”Ray”</i>, was the name embroidered on his shirt..…<br /><br />Sally replied, <i>”C’mon in, let me show you the room!”</i><br /><br />Ray took a look at the room, <i>”Oh MY!!”</i>, he exclaimed…..<br /><br /><i>”I’ll be right back!!”</i> as he turned around and went back to his van…..<br /><br />A few moments later, he came back in……<br /><br />Carrying a LARGE vacuum cleaner……<br /><br />With LOTS of hose attachments……<br /><br />He put a few of the attachments together….<br /><br /><i>”Ma’am…</i>, Ray said……<br /><br /><i>”Your carpet is CLEAN……”<br /><br />“For some reason, it is lumpy…..”<br /><br />“Allow me to ‘get out’ the lumps!!”</i><br /><br />He stuck the end of the hose under the carpet……<br /><br />Sliding it under further……<br /><br />He turned on the machine……<br /><br /><i>whirrrrrr…..whirrrrr……whirrrrrr……</i><br /><br />Was the noise of the machine……<br /><br />A “lump” started moving……..<br /><br /><i>whirrrrrr…..whirrrrr……THWUMP….</i><br /><br />He left the machine on as he pulled out the hose…..<br /><br />On the end of the hose was a “clump” of <i>stuff</i>……<br /><br />He turned off the machine……<br /><br />Removed the “clump”, setting it aside…….<br /><br />Stuck the hose back under the carpet……<br /><br />And turned it back on……<br /><br /><i>whirrrrrr……whirrrrr……THWUMP…..</i><br /><br />One more clump……<br /><br />Another clump……<br /><br />Another clump……<br /><br />MORE and MORE…….<br /><br />Ray starting looking closer at the <i>clumps</i>…..<br /><br />Each <i>clump</i> had something written on them…..<br /><br />Things like……<br /><br /><i>”Didn’t finish college”<br /><br />“Recovered Alcoholic”<br /><br />“Dysfunctional family”<br /><br />“Up and Down Weight Loss”<br /><br />“Work Two Jobs To Pay Bills”</i><br /><br />Ray is a very smart man……<br /><br />He noticed the <i>”Home Biz Op”</i> pamphlets…..<br /><br />On the table in the center of the room……<br /><br />And the “Company” boxes stacked in a front room…..<br /><br /><i>”Ma’am……may I call you Sally??”</i><br /><br />She nodded your head…..<br /><br /><i>”Allow ME to give YOU some advice…..”<br /><br />“To succeed in YOUR business……</i><br /><br />Sally <i>emphatically</i> shook her head…..<br /><br />Ray continued……<br /><br /><i>”YOU are trying to portray yourself……”<br /><br />“As a SUCCESSFUL Business Owner…….”<br /><br />“EVERY time you talk to people…..”<br /><br />“About YOUR business, you are embarrassed…..”<br /><br />“About YOUR PAST!!!!”</i><br /><br />Sally’s head drooped, as she nodded “YES”……<br /><br />Ray puts his hand on her shoulder and says……<br /><br /><i>”Everytime you START to say something…..”<br /><br />“About your past, you SWEEP it under the rug….”<br /><br />“May I give tell YOU something serious???”</i><br /><br />Again….she nodded…….<br /><br /><i>”PEOPLE today are hurting……”<br /><br />“The economy sucks, unemployment is rising……”<br /><br />“New jobs are few and far between…….”<br /><br />“People are LOOKING for an income source…..”<br /><br />“The ‘Home Biz Op’ route looks easy…..”<br /><br />“BUT……people are VERY hesitant…..”<br /><br />“To let go of what little money they have……”<br /><br />“With PEOPLE who <u>ARE NOT</u> REAL!!!”<br /><br />“YOU……Sally, have been down the SAME paths…..”<br /><br />“As the people YOU are reaching…….”<br /><br />“They NEED to hear that YOU have…..”<br /><br />“BEEN THERE…….AND DONE THAT!!!!”<br /><br />“THEN…..they will follow YOU…..”<br /><br />“Because YOU have overcome……”<br /><br />“What THEY are going through……”<br /><br />“Take YOURSELF off of the pedestal…..”<br /><br />“And WALK beside them……”<br /><br />“BE REAL…..”<br /><br />“BE TRUE…..”<br /><br />“BE YOURSELF….”<br /><br />“BE AUTHENTIC…..”<br /><br />“And the rest……..My Dear…..”<br /><br />“Will become HISTORY!!!!”</i><br /><br /><br /><br />Sally was awestruck……<br /><br />But grateful for the words…..<br /><br />From a <i>”Carpet Cleaner”</i>……<br /><br />As Ray was packing up his equipment…..<br /><br />He said, <i>”May I invite YOU……”<br /><br />“To a Community of People……”<br /><br />“That are REAL, TRUE, and AUTHENTIC…..”<br /><br />“Led by a former ‘truck driver’…….”<br /><br />“And a former ‘overweight housewife’……”<br /><br />“Where for

have said in previous writings….<br /><br />That I have been a Volunteer Firefighter…..<br /><br />For almost eight years now….<br /><br />In that time, I have seen “moderate” amounts….<br /><br />Of tragedy, destruction, personal injury, or loss of life…..<br /><br />I have been a Lieutenant and Captain on various trucks….<br /><br />I was <i>Company Secretary</i> for a number of years…..<br /><br />But NOTHING could have prepared me…..<br /><br />For what I am about to tell YOU…….<br /><br />In the Spring of 2004, our Fire Company received…..<br /><br />A check for 20 thousand dollars from a local widow…..<br /><br />We were asked to <i>use it wisely</i>……<br /><br />I suggested during a Business Meeting…..<br /><br /><i>”We need NEW Dress Uniforms……”<br /><br />“Our old ones look like old Greyhound bus driver’s uniforms….”<br /><br />“And the blue shirts purchased over time, do not match!!!”</i><br /><br />Well….when YOU <i>suggest</i>, you usually end up…..<br /><br />Heading up that committee!!<br /><br />The uniforms we decided on cost a little over $400…..<br /><br />Per firefighter……with approximately 20 interested……<br /><br />We LOOKED sharp……still do!!<br /><br />The committee decided to get “nameplates”…..<br /><br />For <i>every</i> firefighter……<br /><br />With or without ordering a uniform!!<br /><br /><Photo 2><br /><br />At the October Business Meeting, they had arrived……<br /><br />I was handing them out to people, before the meeting…..<br /><br />I handed one to one man, his first name is Eric…..<br /><br />He looked at it and asked me….<br /><br /><i>”What’s this for??”</i><br /><br />I explained what it was for…..he handed it back saying…..<br /><br /><i>“You can keep it, I won’t need it after tomorrow!!”</i><br /><br /><i>”Ohhhh, okay!”</i>, I said and went down the table to the next man….<br /><br />A few minutes later, I heard another firefighter say……<br /><br /><i>”That was odd, Eric kissed me on the cheek and said ‘Good-bye’!”</i><br /><br /><b>OH MY GOD!!</b><br /><br />It HIT me….finally, on what Eric said to me…..<br /><br />I literally dropped what I was doing and headed for the door…..<br /><br />I looked across the parking lot……<br /><br />His car was on the other side…..<br /><br />He was sitting in it…..<br /><br />I headed straight for it….<br /><br />After a little small talk, he asked me to sit in the car with him!!<br /><br />Eric worked for a LARGE International Company…..<br /><br />His building, his position, and his job <br /><br />Were being <i>eliminated</i> at the end of the month…..<br /><br />Unfortunately, Eric is a BIG man with a <i>short fuse</i>…..<br /><br />One day, he got into a <i>discussion</i> with his Manager….<br /><br />Such to the degree, Security walked him out….<br /><br />And the local Police were outside to <i>help</i>, if needed!!<br /><br />Because of this <i>discussion</i>, Eric was just <i>terminated</i>….<br /><br />On this day that I was talking with him!!!<br /><br />He was told, NOW, he lost the <i>package</i> he would’ve gotten….<br /><br />At the end of the month!!<br /><br />No severance pay….<br /><br />No vacation pay….<br /><br />No Health coverage…..<br /><br />Eric had custody of his two kids…..<br /><br /><i>”Jason, what the HELL can I do NOW???”<br /><br />“I gotta take care of my kids!!!”</i><br /><br />A moment later, an Assistant Chief walked up to the car…..<br /><br /><i>”We cannot have a meeting without a Secretary??”</i> he said…..<br /><br />I asked him to talk to Eric…..<br /><br />Before I got out of the car, I <i>grapsed</i> Eric’s hand and said….<br /><br /><i>”Go HOME!!! After the meeting, a bunch of US will be up…..”<br /><br />“We’ll take you out drinking, if you want to, AND……..”<br /><br />“DON’T DO ANYTHING STUPID!!!!!”</i><br /><br />I went into the meeting, which had started….<br /><br />Ten minutes later, the Assistant Chief walked in and sat down…..<br /><br />He was as obviously <i>shaken</i> by talking with Eric…..<br /><br />About as much as I was!!!<br /><br />Five minutes later, the tones tripped and siren wailed…..<br /><br />For our neighboring Fire Department……<br /><br />It was an MVA……<i>Motor Vehicle Accident</i>……<br /><br />The Assistant Chief and I just looked at each other……<br /><br /><i>”Please GOD…….NO!!!</i> was going through my head…..<br /><br />Our tones tripped…..our siren went off…..<br /><br />To assist at the MVA by blocking off the closest intersection…..<br /><br />Three men left in our pick-up truck to do so…..<br /><br />Five minutes later, our Chief was called to the scene……<br /><br />Cell phones were buzzing…..<br /><br />Calling <i>”connections”</i> in the neighboring Fire department…..<br /><br />Or even in the Ambulance Corp……<br /><br />NOBODY would tell US, who was involved…..<br /><br />BUT…..it was a <i>”Code 12”</i>……fatal…..<br /><br />We buzzed through the meeting…..<br /><br />We WANTED to know if it was Eric……<br /><br />At the end of the meeting, as the Secretary…..<br /><br />I have to read the minutes I have written…..<br /><br />For any corrections or <i>”approval as written”</i>…..<br /><br />I was flying through reading them….<br /><br />The Chief returned to the building…..<br /><br />Visibly shaken…….<br /><br /><i>”The meeting is ‘Suspended’…..”</i> came the command…..<br /><br /><i>”Eric Hodge was fatally injured in that MVA!!!”</i><br /><br />Men….grown men……cried……<br /><br />They hugged each other…..<br /><br />And cried some more…….<br /><br />LOST was a <i>friend</i>…..<br /><br />A <i>Comrade, fellow firefighter</i>…..<br /><br />A <i>Buddie</i>……<br /><br />And a <i>”Dad”</i>!!!!<br /><br />The Assistant Chief, the firefighter that got “kissed”, and I……<br /><br />Went to the scene……to give our statements…..<br /><br />To the Investigator there…..<br /><br />To give them an idea of his <i>state of mind</i> beforehand…..<br /><br />Weeks later, somebody told ME…..<br /><br /><i>”He committed ‘Suicide’!!”</i><br /><br />I corrected them and said…..<i>”No way!!!”<br /><br />“People that commit suicide, don’t ‘buckle up’!!”</i><br /><br />Eric was buckled!!<br /><br /><i>”What He did was an ‘act of stupidity’,</i> I said……<br /><br /><i>”He was driving too fast and lost control on a curve!!”</i><br /><br />We had a GREAT TIME with his funeral procession!!!<br /><br />I arranged other Departments to join us…..<br /><br />We had a mile long procession…..<br /><br />With 16 pieces of equipment…..<br /><br />From TEN different Departments!!!<br /><br />His family told us……<br /><br /><i>”Lights and sirens are NOT an OPTION!!!”<br /><br />“They ARE a <u><b>REQUIREMENT</i></u></b>!!!!”<br /><br /><i>(I’ll try to get the DVD uploaded to YouTube, soon)</i><br /><br />Okay….so WHY am I telling YOU this????<br /><br />Why am I making YOU reach for a Kleenex, right now???<br /><br />(trust me…..MY EYES are moist right now too!!!)<br /><br />We ALL have watched this economy SLAM into the sewer…..<br /><br />In recent years, and Eric died SIX years ago……<br /><br />PEOPLE are HURTING…….<br /><br />PEOPLE are DUMBSTRUCK……<br /><br />PEOPLE have NO IDEA what to do…..<br /><br />If their J-O-B comes to a <i>”Screeching HALT”</i> tomorrow…..<br /><br />Soooooooo…..why are YOU sitting on your hands????<br /><br />People need to hear what YOU have……<br /><br />Or what YOU have learned…..<br /><br />Is it for <i>EVERYBODY</i> you talk to????<br /><br />HELL NO!!!!<br /><br />But…..do YOU want to know something????<br /><br />There sure are A LOT of <i><b>Eric’s</i></b> out there……<br /><br />People that are so close to the end of their ropes…..<br /><br />That they use the end of that rope…..<br /><br />And tie it into a noose!!!!<br /><br />I would rather see YOU waiting for them at the end…..<br /><br />Oh HELL…….YOU should be A LOT higher on <i>their</i> rope…..<br /><br />They don’t need a <i>”Get Rich Quick”</i> Guru……<br /><br />They NEED a <i>friend</i>……<br /><br />A <i>Teacher</i>……<br /><br />A <i>”Good Learner”</i>……<br /><br />A <i>”Good News Merchant”</i>……<br /><br />A <i>”Preacher of Plenty”</i>……<br /><br />A <i>”Can Do Artist”</i>……<br /><br />Could that

sometimes, I say......<br /><br /><i>"I have six kids, my wife has seven!!!"</i><br /><br />They range in age from 10 to 23 years old.....<br /><br />Three boys and three girls.....<br /><br />Yeah...I know.....<br /><br />My very own <i>"Brady Bunch"</i><br /><br />Have you ever noticed….<br /><br />That each kid has their very own personality….<br /><br />Quirks……<br /><br />Characteristics…..<br /><br />Habits….<br /><br />And fears…..<br /><br /><b>BUT</b>….have you noticed…..<br /><br />They still point back to you, the parent…..<br /><br />And all of YOUR quirks, habits, etc!!!<br /><br />My youngest one, a ten year old boy…..<br /><br /><i>Poor kid has 3 sisters progressively above HIM!!</i><br /><br />Anyhow, he is dead set <i>AGAINST</i>…..<br /><br />Any form of <i>change</i>……<br /><br />To get him to try, or do, anything new….<br /><br />Is next to impossible…..<br /><br />Years ago, we adopted a practice at meal time….<br /><br />You could NOT say “NO” to any food served….<br /><br />You HAD TO have at least what was called….<br /><br />A <i>”No Thank You"</i> portion….<br /><br />Usually a small spoonful…..<br /><br />So his <i>impression</i> of things changed…..<br /><br />Once he had his <i>”No Thank You"</i> portion!!<br /><br />There are still things he <i>clings</i> to….<br /><br />For his own personal comfort…..<br /><br />Yet, we are trying to help him break free……<br /><br />Recently, my wife was “<i>volunteering</i>” at a convention….<br /><br />At the <i>Rochester Riverside Convention Center</i>….<br /><br />The kids went with her….<br /><br />The Convention Center has a two story escalator….<br /><br /><a

/><br />My son is <i>deathly afraid</i> of them…..<br /><br />My wife, pretty much, forced him on it…..<br /><br />He was almost crying and throwing a fit…..<br /><br />BUT…..she <i>guided</i> him on….and off….<br /><br />Do YOU want to know what????<br /><br />He <b>LOVED</b> it!!!!<br /><br />Matter of fact, while my wife was busy…..<br /><br />Doing her <i>volunteering</i> thing….<br /><br />He asked, <i>”Mom, can I go ride the escalators??”</i><br /><br />Her post was near the base of the escalators….<br /><br />So she was nearby……she said, <i>”Okay!!”</i><br /><br />He went up and down on the escalators for an HOUR!!!!<br /><br />The NEXT issue, is a big one for him…..<br /><br />But I truly NEED to work with him on it….<br /><br />He is ten years old and still has……</big><br /><br />(Sorry Caleb, you WILL forgive me for writing this….some day!!)<br /><br />”<i>Training wheels</i>” on his bicycle….<br /><br />Last year with the Junior Youth Group from church….<br /><br />He got <i>picked on</i>, just a little…..<br /><br />So, this year, he is not going on the Group Bike Ride!! =-(<br /><br />I need to help him <i>learn how to ride</i>….<br /><br />Without the training wheels……<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TCeOu3DiUoI/AAAAAAAAARU/8_Osk3IE7hM/s1600/training+wheels.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px;

<i>breaks free</i>…..<br /><br />Of what is…..To HIM……a <i>Comfort Zone</i>…..<br /><br />And tries something NEW that he has been <i>afraid of</i>…..<br /><br />For soooooooo long!!!<br /><br /><i>OUCH</i>, that hurts!!!<br /><br />WHY???? You might ask????<br /><br />Look at ME now…..<br /><br />I have been part of a GREAT community…..<br /><br />Of Entrepreneurs…..<br /><br />Of Zealots……<br /><br />Of Home Business people…..<br /><br

removed another set of <i>wheels</i>…..<br /><br />And <i>REALLY</i> started working with…..<br /><br /><i>Creating PDFs……<br /><br />Setting up autoresponders…….</i><br /><br />Can I reveal to you…….<br /><br /><b>A TOTAL SECRET</b>????<br /><br />It was EASY as hell to do!!!!<br /><br />GAWD…..how many times have I heard????<br /><br /><i>”You don’t have to get it right……”<br /><br

/>Ben Franklin came from <i>working class</i> roots.....<br /><br />His formal education came to an end at age 10.....<br /><br />He worked for his father in his candle shop.....<br /><br />At age 12,

storm?????<br /><br />He was <i><u>no smarter</i></u> than YOU or I.....<br /><br />Until he ALLOWED himself to <i>learn</i> from his experiences....<br /><br />From those experiences he started writing.....<br /><br />As a young teenager, he secretly wrote....<br /><br />Letters from <i>Mrs Silence Dogood</i>, a middle aged widow....<br /><br />These <i>letters</i> became the talk of the town.....<br /><br />At age 21, he started a group called <i>Junto</i>....<br /><br />A group of <i>"like minded aspiring artisans and tradesmen".....<br /><br />"Who hoped to improve

truly IS a "Sixth Sense"????<br /><br />I do not know the "literal" meaning......<br /><br />BUT, to me it means it is a "natural" sense.....<br /><br />Like breathing, feeling, etc!!<br /><br />Recently, I was driving tandems to New Jersey....<br /><br />"Tandems" is two 48 foot trailers.....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"

/>Fully loaded with a converter dollie.....<br /><br />Connecting the second trailer to the "lead" trailer....<br /><br />Full loads can be up to 44,000 pounds.....<br /><br />Per trailer.....<br /><br />Plus the weight of the trailers.....<br /><br />The dollie and the truck tractor....<br /><br />The total weight, legally, is 144k pounds!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try

tandems!!<br /><br />I personally LOVE them!!<br /><br />I LOVE a "challenge"!!<br /><br />This day, in particular.....<br /><br />I noticed was "not quite right"......<br /><br />I have driven this truck long enough....<br /><br />Pulled tandems OFTEN enough......<br /><br />My truck was struggling to reach 64 mph.....<br /><br />And it is governed to 65 mph....<br /><br />And I have burned through a quarter tank of fuel...<br /><br />In a short distance.....<br /><br />Something isn't right!!<br /><br />So at the next available "tandem area"....<br /><br />I pulled in and broke apart my set.....<br /><br />And put the front trailer in the rear....<br /><br />And vice versa......<br /><br />Once I got back onto the highway.....<br /><br />My truck reacted differently!!!<br /><br /><a

very unsafe.....<br /><br />Switching them around....<br /><br />Improved my safety.....<br /><br />And the performance of my truck!!!<br /><br />ALRIGHT Jason......time to "make sense"......<br /><br />I did not NEED to be told.....<br /><br />Nor go weigh the trailers.....<br /><br />To "KNOW" that something was NOT right.....<br /><br />With the two loads I was pulling.....<br /><br />I have a

few people have noticed......<br /><br />That I have been VERY quiet online, lately.....<br /><br />I received a couple of emails and PM's......<br /><br />Asking me, <i>"Jason, are YOU okay??"</i><br /><br />It has been a very rough week......<br /><br />Allow me to explain.......<br /><br />For those of you that do not know......<br /><br />I drive tractor trailer for my J-O-B.......<br /><br />I commit almost 100 hours away from home.....<br /><br />My drive home is about 30 miles.....<br /><br />Most nights as I leave work......<br /><br />I stop by a local convenience store........<br /><br />To pick up a couple of cans of adult beverage.....<br /><br />I <i>consume</i> them to <i>relax</i>....<br /><br />On my drive home......<br /><br />The other night, on the highway......<br /><br />As I traveled over an overpass and around a curve.....<br /><br />I saw a BUNCH of flashing yellow lights.....<br /><br />And orange and black signs.....<br /><br />GREAT......<i>another</i> construction zone.....<br /><br />As I got closer.....<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/TBt9RiIhXtI/AAAAAAAAAP0/sUdC-jKf3Lo/s1600/dui_sobriety_checkpoint.jpg"><img

<i>"yellow lights"</i> were on a row of police cars......<br /><br />It ended up being a <i>"Sobriety Check Point"</i>.....<br /><br /><a

jacket over the beer on my seat......<br /><br />As I stopped, the officer walked up to my window.....<br /><br />He said, <i>"Good Evening, Sir....."<br /><br />"This is a Sobriety Checkpoint......."<br /><br />"Have YOU had anything to drink tonight???"</i><br /><br />I replied, <i>"Yes Sir.....I had one with a friend...."<br /><br />"After work tonight, just awhile ago....."</i><br /><br />The lighting around the area.....<br /><br />The Officer caught a glimpse of something.....<br /><br />Shined his light into my car.......<br /><br /><i>"What IS that under the hat, Sir???"</i><br /><br />I lifted up my hat to expose an open can of beer......<br /><br /><i>"Sir, please pull your car to the shoulder!"</i> the Officer said.....<br /><br /><i>"Step out of the car"</i> came the next command.....<br /><br />The Officer on the side of the road.....<br /><br />Ran me through the <i>"Field Sobriety Test"</i>......<br /><br /><a

worse....<br /><br />So, I submitted.....<br /><br />My BAC ended up being a simple, ".07".....<br /><br />DWI in New York is ".08".....!!<br /><br /><i>WHEW</i>.......or so I thought.....<br /><br

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." 2nd Timothy 1:6-7</i><br /><br />Then I see the Great Franco Gonzalez posted on Facebook....<br /><br /><i>"though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death..."</i><br /><br />Are WE <i><u>NOT</i></u> on the same page here???<br /><br />Which bring ME to my thoughts.....<br /><br />About <a href="http://ping.fm/yezqh">The Million Mind March</a>.....<br /><br />Why I hang out there......<br /><br />And why <i>hundreds</i> of people hang out there too.....<br /><br />Because it IS a place that will......<br /><br /><i>"Change Your Mind......"<br /><br />"Change Your Income....."<br /><br />"Change Your Life!!"</i><br /><br />Allow me to show YOU from that passage.....<br /><br />Guess what????<br /><br />It got ME <i>thinking</i> again!!!<br /><br /><i>"For God has not given us a spirit of fear"</i>...<br /><br /><i>Fear</i> is a state of mind.....<br /><br />Not Knowing the <i>unknown</i>.....<br /><br /><i>(if that makes any sense!!)</i><br /><br />Or you are <i>unaware</i> of what is around you....<br /><br />Your surroundings......your area......your abilities......<br /><br />It is a <i>lack</i> of confidence......<br /><br />Joe Schroeder and Diane Hochman......<br /><br />Have been teaching for YEARS......<br /><br />From what <i>THEY</i> know........<br /><br />Which gives their students the confidence.....<br /><br />To <i>press on</i>......<br /><br />Go forward......<br /><br />Or better yet.......<br /><br /><b>YOU CAN!!!</b><br /><br />Bury the Words, "I Can't"......<br /><br />And YOU bury your fears!!!!<br /><br /><i>"but of power"</i>.....<br /><br />Also goes to the word <i>confidence</i>......<br /><br />That YOU will be encouraged within the Community......<br /><br />At the Million Mind March......<br /><br /><i>"Where YOU are <u>celebrated</u>, not tolerated!!"</i><br /><br />The verse continues: <i>"and of love"</i><br /><br />Also goes to the previous point......<br /><br />BUT, these people within the Community.....<br /><br />Are the MOST loving......<br /><br />Best <i>huggers</i>......<br /><br />Best encouraging.......<br /><br />Group of people I have <u>EVER</u> met!!!<br /><br />Yet it is because we are ALL like minded.....<br /><br />Home based entrepreneurs......<br /><br />That read hundred year old books.....<br /><br />From dead authors......<br /><br />Or the Book of Proverbs.....<br /><br />Or as I started this message.....<br /><br />With other Scriptures that point to US as a group....<br /><br />And finally: <i>"and of a sound mind"</i>!!<br /><br />Why is it called The Million <u>Mind</u> March????<br /><br />Because once YOU sit at the feet of a Master.....<br /><br />Eat the bread crumbs he drops from His table.....<br /><br />Listen to the Words he speaks.....<br /><br />Adjust your mindset.....<br /><br />And YOUR subconscious mind......<br /><br />YOU will <i>think</i> differently.....<br /><br />YOU will <i>speak</i> differently....<br /><br />YOU will <i><b>WRITE</i></b> differently......<br /><br />And people will wonder what you have done.....<br /><br />What has happened to YOU......<br /><br />And can I have what YOU have got????<br /><br />Introduce them to a truck driver from Jersey.....<br /><br />And a <i>former</i> overweight housewife

a recent Member's call......<br /><br />Over at <a href="http://ping.fm/12ZCl">The Million Mind March</a><br /><br />I remembered what had happened.....<br /><br />Recently when my family traveled to Virginia.....<br /><br />We went to Colonial Yorktown....<br /><br />Toured the Fort and the dock.....<br /><br />At the dock was two of the three replica ships.....<br /><br />That were original at Yorktown during the 1700's....<br /><br />In that day, Sailors did NOT have GPS.....<br /><br />They did NOT have computers.....<br /><br />They relied on their skill and their knowledge.....<br /><br />They used the stars, the moon, and the sun.....<br /><br />To determine WHERE they were as they sailed......<br /><br />Once they "mapped out" the New World......<br /><br />They could determine where they were going.....<br /><br />Fast forward THREE centuries.....<br /><br />Let's have a LOOK at YOU!!!!<br /><br />Do YOU absolutely KNOW what YOU are doing???<br /><br />Do YOU <u><i>know</i></u> where you are going????<br /><br />The definition of <i>"Insanity"</i> is.....<br /><br /><i>"Doing the same thing over and over again.....<br /><br />Expecting different results

If someone comes along with an invention known as a "Iron Horse", wouldn't it make sense to put the same type of conveyance pulled by "regular" horses behind it?

have ignition......<br /><br />We have Liftoff......<br /><br />Space Shuttle <i>Atlantis</i> is clear the tower......<br /><br />The shuttle just launched recently.....<br /><br />For <i>Atlantis</i> it could be it's <i>LAST</i> flight.....<br /><br />The Space Shuttle program is coming to an end, soon........<br /><br />As <i>YOU</i> watch the shuttle launch.......<br /><br /><i><u>PLEASE</i></u> shout out......<i>"Hail Ceasar!!"</i>........<br /><br />It is <u><i>because</i></u> of Ceasar......<br /><br />That the Space Shuttle is <i>designed</i> the way it is.........<br /><br /><i>"HUH???"<br /><br />"What.......?????"</i><br /><br />Where did you <i>dig up</i> this one, Jason????<br /><br />There is a story that has been making the rounds....<br /><br />I did some <i>research</i> on it......<br /><br /><i>snopes.com</i> does <i>not</i> "deny" it......<br /><br />But they do place some <u>great</u> points.....<br /><br />That is why I titled this with a <i>"Part One"</i> in the title.....<br /><br />I just know, I cannot explain this all at once!!!<br /><br />The <i>story</i> states that the <i>Imperial Roman Empire</i>......<br /><br />Is responsible for the <i>"gauge"</i> used for railroad tracks.......<br /><br />That we STILL use today!!!<br /><br />In the early centuries......<br /><br />The "Imperial Roman Empire" pretty much conquered......<br /><br />All of Europe and the surrounding area around Rome......<br /><br />The story states that "roads" had to be cut......<br /><br />To provide the Imperial Roman <i>War Chariots</i>.......<br /><br />Access to the World that they were conquering....<br /><br />A <i>War Chariot</i> is led by two horses......<br /><br />So the <i>"measurement"</i> is based on the measurement......<br /><br />Of <u>two</u> horse's asses.......<br /><br /><small>More about THAT later...."YES", chuckle NOW!!!</small><br /><br />The "roads" cut for the chariots.....<br /><br />Were later used for other horse drawn wagons.....<br /><br />Typically, with <i>two horses</i> pulling it......<br /><br /><i><u>WHY</i></u>, you "might" ask????<br /><br />Because, most wagons were driven by <i>ONE</i> man......<br /><br />And <i>one man</i> can handle <i>two horses</i>......<br /><br />In the 1800's......<br /><br />The railroad was started in England......<br /><br />How do YOU originally move your equipment????<br /><br />Down the roads <i>cut</i> for the chariots, etc.....<br /><br />THUS, the axle dimensions are similar......<br /><br />The first American train locomotives......<br /><br />Were purchased from England......<br /><br />And soon, manufactured in America.......<br /><br /><i>Might</i> you just "randomly" change the dimensions.........<br /><br />Just because YOU <i>"want to"</i>????<br /><br />No way......you will <i>copy</i> from the "Original"!!<br /><br />So now we start building trains in America......<br /><br />What the <i>HECK</i> does that have to do with the Shuttle????<br /><br />Fast forward almost two centuries......<br /><br />Space travel started in the 60's......<br /><br />There is ALOT of interesting info about the <i>Space Program</i>....<br /><br />My profile pic was taken at an <i>Observation Deck</i>.......<br /><br />When my family and I were touring The Kennedy Space Center......<br /><br />Money <i><u>well spent</i></u> for a family vacation.....<br /><br />Look at pictures of the Shuttle when it launches....<br /><br />The fuel that <i>allows</i> the launch....<br /><br />In the <i>"Solid Rocket Boosters"</i>......<br /><br />Is manufactured by a company in Utah.....<br /><br />The Shuttle launches in Florida......<br /><br />The <i><u>ONLY</u></i> way to ship them.....<br /><br />Is on a train to Florida........<br /><br />So tracks, tunnels, junctions, etc.......<br /><br />Have been the <i><u>SAME</i></u> size......<br /><br />Since the 1800's!!!<br /><br />So......thank YOU, Marcus Aurelius.......<br /><br />YOU, ........<i>Ceasar</i> helped design......<br /><br />MAN'S travel......into SPACE!!!<br /><br />If he <i>only</i> knew!!!<br /><br />So the company making the "Boosters"......<br /><br />Had to keep their size down......<br /><br />To <i>fit</i> on the tracks and tunnels......<br /><br />Alright, Jason........I have read enough of YOUR stuff......<br /><br />That YOU will bring ME around to a certain point!!!<br /><br />As usual, YOU, Dear Reader are correct.....<br /><br />What started almost TWO THOUSAND years ago....<br /><br />STILL has an effect on OUR World.......TODAY!!!<br /><br />Roads for <i>"War Chariots"</i>.......<br /><br />Help set the <i>"gauge"</i> for Space Shuttles!!!<br /><br />Oh my.......here comes the <i><u>good part</i></u>.......<br /><br />WHAT are

have REALLY grown to enjoy.......<br /><br />The latest song my Miranda Lambert called.....<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S-eKXte18LI/AAAAAAAAAMM/BC5hHP8R0jU/s1600/miranda-lambert.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5469492412415340722" /></a><br /><br /><i>"The House That Built Me"</i><br /><br />See the video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/mirandalambert#p/c/40B5FA736ADFC02A/9/DQYNM6SjD_o">HERE</a>.....<br /><br />It talks about going back to her home.....<br /><br />That she grew up in.....<br /><br />The house Mom dreamed of.....<br /><br />And Dad built it.....<br /><br /><i>"nail by nail and board by board"</i>.....<br /><br />She wants to come in.....<br /><br />To <i>touch and feel this old place</i>.....<br /><br />Because her life NOW is empty and broken....<br /><br />She only wants to leave, <i>with a memory</i>.....<br /><br />There are THREE things that I see here....<br /><br />That I want to share with YOU today.....<br /><br /><br /><br />First off, the majority of people that read this.....<br /><br />Have a <i>solid foundation</i> built under them.....<br /><br />Given to them by the parent(s) that raised YOU.....<br /><br />Was it a perfect life???<br /><br />With perfect parents???<br /><br />If it was, then YOU are already listed in.....<br /><br /><i>The Guiness Book Of World Records</i>....<br /><br />You were the <i>"fat kid".....<br /><br />"Pimple face"......<br /><br />"The Dork"......<br /><br />an only child......<br /><br />the "baby" of the family</i>.......<br /><br />BUT, you were given a "starting point".......<br /><br />Something to fall back on.....<br /><br />Knowing the difference between <i>right and wrong</i>.....<br /><br />Maybe raised in a church......<br /><br />Who KNOWS, but you have <i>fallen back</i> upon it.....<br /><br />OFTEN, knowing it is <i>the right thing to do</i>.....<br /><br />Thanks Mom......Thanks Dad!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Second, it IS okay to <i>remember the past</i>......<br /><br />As she says in the song......<small><br /><br /><i>"I thought if I could touch this place or feel it,<br />This brokenness inside of me might start healing,<br />Out here it's like I'm someone else,<br />I thought maybe I could find myself, <br />If I could just come in I swear I'll leave, <br />Won't take nothin but a <u>memory</u>,<br />From the house that built me."</i></small><br /><br />Her life is <i>broken</i> and wants to find a <i>memory</i>.....<br /><br />It is okay to <i>remember</i> YOUR past.......<br /><br />It is NOT okay to <i>DWELL</i> on your past!!!!<br /><br />In Joe Schroeder's newest book, <i>Discipline Of Doership</i><br /><br />My <u>favorite</u> quote is on page 158, second paragraph.....<small><br /><br /><i>"Look, the God that made you does not live in the past and each time you go there, and use your past to abuse your future, you go alone. Because He is not there. What is, is and what isn`t, isn`t."</i></small><br /><br />You will be ALL alone......<br /><br />And the ONLY person you will hurt.......is YOU!!!<br /><br />REMEMBER......<br /><br />REMINISCE......<br /><br />RECALL the MEMORIES......<br /><br />Use them to <i>BUILD</i> on that foundation.....<br /><br />You received in number ONE......<br /><br />They are a TOOL to <i>build</i> with.....<br /><br />Not to <i>destroy</i> with.....<br /><br /><br /><br />And finally, number three.......<br /><br />Take what you have from ONE and TWO.....<br /><br />And build Your <i>LEGACY</i>......<br /><br />With the children......and grandchildren......<br /><br />That have been given to YOU!!!!<br /><br />Recently, Diane Hochman posted on her <a href="http://www.dianehochman.com/2010/05/a-mothers-pride-from-a-business-perspective/">blog</a>......<small><br /><br /><i>"Every year it’s different and every years it’s lovely.<br /><br />And maybe if you know me you can feel me beaming right now<br />as I write this…<br /><br />I am so proud of my two daughters and love them beyond words."</i></small><br /><br />She has been working from home for <i>TEN</i> years.....<br /><br />Been there for her girls.....no matter what......<br /><br />Been a Special Mom for two <i>little</i> girls.....<br /><br />Then the "Volcano Lady", Shelly Allen posted.......<br /><br />This <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes_cheatsheet.php#!/video/video.php?v=1441640769478&ref=mf">video</a> about leaving a J-O-B.....<br /><br />So that she would NOT <i><small>"sacrifice her kids"</i></small>.....<br /><br /><u><b>THAT is WHY most people want a <i>Home Business</i></u></b>!!!!<br /><br />To <i>protect</i> their kids.....<br /><br />To be there for THEM......<br /><br />No <i>latch-key</i> kids at YOUR house.....<br /><br />Home for <i>ALL</i> sports events, plays, and concerts.....<br /><br />YOUR kids are ONLY young <u>ONCE</u>......<br /><br />Build them up.....<br /><br />Build YOUR Legacy......<br /><br />And build your business.......all from home!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Care to <i>find</i> a way to build your business???<br /><br />Or maybe just <i>find</i> a way to earn income?????<br /><br />Come <i>hang out</i> with some GREAT people.....<br /><br />Free training and Open to the Public calls......<br /><br />For <a

started driving tractor trailer......<br /><br />In the early 80's.......<br /><br />With the Army.......<br /><br />After a few years if <i>"trying"</i> other J-O-B's....<br /><br />Did I go back to driving........<br /><br />Why driving you might ask???<br /><br />No Boss looking over my shoulder......<br /><br />No time clock to punch.....<br /><br />Not restricted to a "little cubicle"......<br /><br />A "work station"......<br /><br />Or "little desk".......<br /><br />I can be on the East Coast on Monday.....<br /><br />And the West Coast by Friday.....<br /><br />My "office scenery" changes on an <i>hourly</i> basis.......<br /><br />What about <i>rumble strips</i>????<br /><br />The first time I experienced them......<br /><br />Was on some two lane highways.....<br /><br />In the midwest.....<br /><br />On a highway with the speed limit is 55 mph......<br /><br />Where a stop sign was placed......<br /><br />Rumble strips were put across the lane.....<br /><br />To <i>warn you</i>......<br /><br />Make you <i>aware of</i>.....<br /><br />Or <i>awaken</i> you......<br /><br />To the <i>danger</i> up ahead......<br /><br />Then I started noticing them.....<br /><br />Along the shoulders of highways..... <br /><br />Should you <i>wander</i> off of your lane.....<br /><br />They would <i>awaken you</i>........<br /><br />Or <i>alert you</i>.....<br /><br />That you are <i>drifting</i> off of your course....<br /><br /><i>Wandering</i> from your path......<br /><br />Trying to get YOU to pay attention!!!<br /><br />To your surroundings.....<br /><br />To what you are doing.....<br /><br />Or just <i>make you aware of</i>......<br /><br />The potential <i>pain</i> and <i>damage</i>.....<br /><br />You are about to experience......<br /><br />If you do not correct your course.....<br /><br />Get back in <i>your lane</i>......<br /><br />Or just <i>come to a stop</i>!!!<br /><br />Rumble strips are all through your life......<br /><br />Laws keep you out of trouble....<br /><br />Medical conditions get you to live right......<br /><br />Rules keep order in sporting events......<br /><br />Common sense keeps you straight in everything.....<br /><br />All of these can, and will help you in business......<br /><br /><i>Laws, rules, common sense.........</i><br /><br />Need to be a part of every aspect of your life....<br /><br />A good <i>uncommon</i> mentor......<br /><br />Or a <i>group</i> of great people...... <br /><br />Walking the same <i>path</i> as YOU......<br /><br />Can be <i>YOUR</i>

this month's CD from Joe Schroeder.....<br /><br /><i>Yes, Joe Schroeder sends out CDs to members</i>....<br /><br />He talks about a phone call he received.....<br /><br />From a friend......<br

but this is <i>flowing</i> and I HAD TO write this NOW!!)<br /><br />Everybody is BORN into some type of slavery.....<br /><br />We may not be <i>Physically</i> chained....<br /><br />But we are <i>chained</i>, none the less....<br /><br />Allow me to show you where it STARTS.....<br /><br />And as adults, we repeat the process with OUR kids......<br /><br />After you are born and your parents take you home.....<br /><br />They put you in a <i>cute</i> little bassinet.....<br /><br />Then a playpen.....<br /><br />In a playpen you learn to <i>explore</i> your surroundings.....<br /><br />BUT, you are restricted to that playpen.....<br /><br />Your <i>boundaries</i>.......<br /><br />Your <i>"Comfort Zone"</i>.....<br /><br />It starts at a young age.....<br /><br />Once you start walking......<br /><br />They put you into a "walker".....<br /><br />It allows you to move around.....<br /><br />With <i>restrictions</i> of course!!<br /><br />Once you are big enough to go outside.....<br /><br />You are released to a <i>fenced in yard</i>.....<br /><br />You grow up and go to school.....<br /><br />Only to be put into a <i>classroom</i>.....<br /><br />When they <i>release you to the wilds</i>....<br /><br />Of a playground.....<br /><br />It too, is fenced in!!!<br /><br /><b>BUT.........</b><br /><br />You have grown <i>used to</i> or <i>accustomed to</i>.......<br /><br /><b>Boundaries!!!!</b><br /><br />Studies have been done and proven......<br /><br />That kids are in such a <i>Comfort Zone</i>.....<br /><br />That if the fence is removed from a playground.....<br /><br />The kids congregate in the center.......<br /><br />It is like they <i>need</i> those boundaries!!!<br /><br />So off to high school and college you go.....<br /><br />You are still within the <i>boundaries</i> of a classroom.....<br /><br />But now, they work on the boundaries within your head.....<br /><br />They <i>indoctrinate</i> you into thinking.....<br /><br />That you <i>NEED</i> a college diploma......<br /><br />To succeed in life!!<br /><br />So you finish college......<br /><br />And put that <i>precious diploma</i> in a frame....<br /><br /><i>(Isn't that "another" boundary???)</i><br /><br />You go to work for an employer......<br /><br />Who puts you in a <i>cubicle</i>.....<br /><br />And sells you a bill of goods......<br /><br />That you <i>need</i> him, the employer.....<br /><br />Because he will <i>GIVE</i> you.....<br /><br />A paycheck....<br /><br />Health benefits.....<br /><br />A dental plan.....<br /><br />A 401k......<br /><br />Vacation pay......<br /><br /><b>WOW</b>, where do I sign up????<br /><br />He is keeping YOU in chains......<br /><br />He gives you enough pay to live......<br /><br />Not to prosper......<br /><br />Because rich people don't NEED a job......<br /><br />So if YOU become rich.....<br /><br />Your employer becomes <i>obsolete</i>!!!<br /><br />So they keep you down.....<br /><br />Boxed into your cubicle and benefits.....<br /><br />Then you discover <i>homebased businesses</i>...<br /><br />Or MLM......<br /><br />And <i>Everybody</i> wants to keep you in your....<br /><br /><i>Comfort Zone......<br /><br />Or boundaries......</i><br /><br />They will try to tell you.....<br /><br /><i>"MLM is a scam....."<br /><br />"You'll NEVER succeed at THAT...."<br /><br />"You NEED your benefits package....."</i><br /><br />Only those willing to step out of......<br /><br /><i>The playpen.....<br /><br />The walker......<br /><br />The fenced in yard.....<br /><br />The classroom......<br /><br />The playground.....<br /><br />The sheep-skin.....<br /><br />The cubicle......<br /><br />The mindset.......</i><br /><br />Will EVER learn how to be FREE!!<br /><br />FREE to do <i>their own thing</i>.....<br /><br />FREE to be <i>successful</i> on their own.....<br /><br />FREE to <i>change</i> their World!!!<br /><br />Want to know of a place they can help

the Great Kim Godfrey.....<br /><br />Posted a note on Facebook called.....<br /><br />"Freedom From Approval"<br /><br />She explained beautifully......<br /><br />That freedom FROM slavery would NOT have happened.....<br /><br />If Harriet Tubman did not first DREAM of being FREE!!!<br /><br />And how <i>Dreamers</i> still exist today!!<br /><br /><b>BUT.........</b><br /><br /><i>Freedom</i> from slavery had a price.....<br /><br />A very <i><u>steep</i></u> price people couldn't pay!!<br /><br />By time freedom came to the American slave.....<br /><br />MOST that had come from Africa.....<br /><br />Had already died in America......<br /><br />Most slaves had been born here.....<br /><br />Born ON the Plantation.....<br /><br />Raised ON the Plantation......<br /><br />Worked ON the Plantation.....<br /><br />Went to Church, ON or NEAR the Plantation......<br /><br />They <i>barely</i> knew that life existed......<br /><br />Somewhere OFF of the Plantation!!!<br /><br />So the <i>tragedy</i> of Prohibition was.....<br /><br />Once the slave got his FREEDOM......<br /><br />He did not <i><u>LEAVE</u></i> the Plantation!!!!<br /><br /><b><i>WHY NOT????</i><b><br /><br />First off, they did not have any money.....<br /><br />Second, who was "hiring" former slaves???<br /><br />Third, they knew of nothing else BUT farming......<br /><br />Fourth, the Plantation was their <i>"Comfort Zone"</i>!!!!<br /><br />I'm not saying that NONE left the Plantation....<br /><br />But on average, most did not leave.....<br /><br />Some Plantation owners started to pay them.....<br /><br />But it was NOT alot of money.....<br /><br />Not enough for them to move on.....<br /><br />Just enough for them to <i>"pay the bills"</i>!!!<br /><br />Soooooooooo, does <i>slavery</i> STILL exist today???<br /><br />You betcha!!!<br /><br />People are FREE to do whatever they want to do.....<br /><br />Work for an employer.....<br /><br />Start their own business......<br /><br />Travel the world performing magic.....<br /><br />Be a broke, frumpy housewife.....<br /><br /><i>Anything</i> that their heart desires!!!<br /><br />BUT, most people do not want to <i>leave</i>....<br /><br />The <i>"Comfort Zone"</i> of an employer.....<br /><br />The paycheck.....<br /><br />The benefits.....<br /><br />The health care....<br /><br />The 401k......<br /><br />They are not able.......<br /><br />Or should I say, not <i>willing</i>......<br /><br />To trudge OUT on their own......<br /><br />And <i>do their <u>own thing</u></i>....<br /><br />They would rather have somebody else dictate to them.....<br /><br />What hours to work.....<br /><br />What days to work.....<br /><br />How to work.....<br /><br />How much you can earn......<br /><br />AND, if you are a <i>good boy</i>......<br /><br />We'll even tell you <i>when</i> you can take a vacation!!!<br /><br /><b>TRAGIC!!!!!</b><br /><br />Lincoln may have freed the slaves......<br /><br />But <i>society</i> and our <i>"Comfort Zones"</i>......<br /><br />Have NOT freed us!!!<br /><br />Our YOU willing to <i>break out of the Zone</i>???<br /><br />You will have to change your mind.....<br /><br />Allow me to suggest a great place to do that.....<br /><br />Walk over to <i>our Plantation</i>......<br /><br />Over at The Million Mind March.....<br /><br />Why do I call it a "Plantation"????<br /><br />Because once you come over here.....<br /><br />YOU will NEVER want to leave.....<br /><br />AND the <i>growth</i> you will see....<br /><br />Will

do you know about Bamboo trees???<br /><br />While here in Colonial Williamsburg.......<br /><br />Yesterday, we walked past a small clump.....<br /><br />Of bamboo trees!!<br /><br />I had no idea they grew here.....<br /><br />But I was reminded of what I have heard.....<br /><br />About bamboo trees and their "unique" growth pattern......<br /><br />And THEN, the analogy <i>HIT ME</i>!!!<br /><br />That is why, "I AM a Bamboo Tree"!!!<br /><br />You can plant a bamboo tree......<br /><br />In the first year.......<br /><br />You don't <i>see</i> any growth.....<br /><br />In the second year.......<br /><br />You don't <i>see</i> any growth.....<br /><br />In the third year.......<br /><br />You don't <i>see</i> any growth.....<br /><br />In the fourth year.......<br /><br />It grows.......<br /><br />And grows.......<br /><br />And grows.......<br /><br />Sometimes as much as 90 feet......<br /><br />In that fourth year!!!!<br /><br />And do you want to know something else????<br /><br />It is amongst the strongest tree.......<br /><br />That can sustain the strongest winds......<br /><br />And calamities that strike around it......<br /><br />Then any other tree in the world!!!<br /><br /><i><b>WHY?????</i></b><br /><br />You <i>might</i> ask<br /><br />Because in that prior three to four years......<br /><br />The root system has been growing......<br /><br />In the ground......<br /><br />Entangling, and "clumping" together with other trees......<br /><br />Anchoring themselves together as ONE!!!<br /><br />History lesson time......<br /><br />I stumbled upon Joe Schroeder......<br /><br />And Diane Hochman......<br /><br />And what has NOW come to be known as......<br /><br /><a href="http://ping.fm/VqoMg">The Million Mind March</a><br /><br />In the late summer of 2006......<br /><br />I hung out on the open public calls......<br /><br />I found a site that they <i>podcasted</i> the calls thru.......<br /><br />On there they archived their calls......<br /><br />Guess <i>who</i> downloaded EVERY ONE????<br /><br />One time, Joe Schroeder <i>sounded</i> upset on a call.....<br /><br />Cuz he heard I was downloading ALL of the calls....<br /><br />And NOT a member.......<br /><br />Now I look back.....<br /><br />Realize it was just Joe.....<br /><br />And his teaching the <i>simple phrase</i>.....<br /><br /><i>"What you give away, you get to keep!!"</i><br /><br />Have I taken those calls and <i>stolen</i> them from Joe???<br /><br />No way!!!<br /><br />I have become a member....<br /><br />Bought "some" of the courses.....<br /><br />Been to Wisdom School.....<br /><br />Created "M-3 Gear"......<br /><br />And become an important part of the M-3 Community.....<br /><br />Over the past three years.....<br /><br />NOW, like the bamboo tree.....<br /><br />I am <i>growing</i>......<br /><br />In HUUUUUUGE proportions......<br /><br />Becoming bigger and stronger.....<br /><br />And looking forward to phenomenal growth......<br /><br />In the year 2010!!!<br /><br />NOW.........<br /><br />Here is "My Challenge" to <i>YOU</i>!!!<br /><br />Some of you have been here awhile......<br /><br />Allowing your roots to grow.....<br /><br />Absorbing and observing.......<br /><br />From Joe, Diane, and The Community.....<br /><br /><i>Join ME</i> in my <i>growing year</i>.....<br /><br />GROW alongside ME......<br /><br />And let's <i>Change This World</i>!!!!<br /><br />In case YOU did not know......<br /><br />We have Open to the Public calls.....<br /><br />Every Monday night at 9:27pm,

December 29, 2009.....<br /><br />I attended a funeral mass.....<br /><br />For my last surviving Uncle....<br /><br />My Mom's last sibling....<br /><br />The church read from the passage in Ecclesiastes, Chapter 3....<br /><br /><i>To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:<br /><br />A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;<br /><br />A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;<br /><br />A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;<br /><br />A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;<br /><br />A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;<br /><br />A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;<br /><br />A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.<br /><br />What profit hath he that worketh in that in which he laboreth?<br /><br />I have seen the labor, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.<br /><br />He hath made every thing beautiful in its time: also he hath set the world in their heart,<br /><br />so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.<br /><br />Ecclesiastes 3:1 - 11 </i><br /><br />With the New Year approaching.....<br /><br />I started thinking about <b><i>TIME</b></i>....<br /><br />NONE of us know when our time will be up.....<br /><br /><i>WHAT</i> would YOU do differently if you KNEW your <i>LAST DAY</i>????<br /><br /><b><u>THEN</u>.........</b><br /><br />The priest mentioned something.....<br /><br />"On YOUR tombstone will be "dates"......<br /><br />Your birthday, <i>a time to be born</i>.....<br /><br />The DAY you died, <i>and a time to die</i>.....<br /><br /><i>"But what people will remember YOU for is the <b>DASH</b> in between!!!</i>"<br /><br />OMG....that IS POWERFUL!!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S5J2N997A9I/AAAAAAAAAH0/nWLV4XcF6QI/s1600-h/tombstone.jpg"><img

your birth.....<br /><br />UNLESS, your parents are still alive......<br /><br />And if they are.....how much do they remember?????<br /><br />The only people that will remember the day you died....<br /><br />Will be the FEW loved ones gathered around your bedside!!<br /><br />And ALL that they will remember is.....<br /><br />That he went "peacefully" after we sang <i>"Amazing Grace"</i> as a family!!!<br /><br /><b><i>HOW DID YOU LIVE YOUR DASH???????</b></i><br /><br />Nobody EVER says on their death bed......<br /><br /><i>I wish I spent more time at the office.....<br

/><br />If they do.....<br /><br />It is VERY LONELY at their bedside!!!!<br /><br />Only <b>YOU</b> know what has happened in your DASH......<br /><br />Only <b>YOU</b> can change the course of your

/><br />I recently heard this song on the radio......<br /><br />Song by the group, Kansas....<br /><br /><a

a trucker a few years back.....<br /><br />That attends the same church as the band members.....<br /><br />So I understand their <i>philosophy</i> behind the lyrics.....<br /><br /><br /><i>"I close my eyes......<br />Only for a moment, then the moment's gone......<br />All my dreams.....<br />Pass before my eyes, a curiosity......</i><br /><br /><br />What are <u>YOUR</u> Dreams???<br /><br />What are your goals???<br /><br />They <i>pass before your eyes</i>......"<br /><br />Joe Schroeder has said......<br /><br /><i>"A goal is just a dream.....<br /><br />Until three people agree with you"</i><br /><br />The song continues......<br /><br /><br /><i>"Dust in the wind......<br />All they are is dust in the wind......."</i><br /><br /><br />DUST in the wind.......<br /><br />Here today.......gone tomorrow......<br /><br /><i>Fleeting</i> moments in time......<br /><br /><br /><i>"Same old song......<br />Just a drop of water in an endless sea......</i><br /><br /><br />How MANY drops of water......<br /><br />ARE in an endless sea?????<br /><br />How many <i>Dreams</i> will YOU have.....<br /><br />Over your lifetime????<br /><br /><i>Endless......</i><br /><br /><br /><i>"<u>All</u> we do.......<br />Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see....<br />Dust in the wind......."</i><br /><br /><br /><u>Everything</u> that we do......<br /><br />Is "dust" in the wind<br /><br />A house built by a carpenter......<br /><br />Will <i>burn</i> or <i>rot</i>!!<br /><br />A bridge designed by an Engineer.....<br /><br />Will <i>rust</i> or <i>crumble</i>!!<br /><br />Meat sold by a <i>Meat man</i>.....<br /><br />Will get eaten or it too could rot!!<br /><br />A Doctor's patients.....<br /><br />Will die!!<br /><br />When a farmer plants seeds.....<br /><br />He will need to harvest.....<br /><br />Or they will rot, as well!!<br /><br /><u>NOTHING</u> lasts FOREVER!!!!<br /><br /><a

/></a><br /><br />Piercing through the trees.....<br /><br />Lighting up the area.....<br /><br />Morning dew on the ground....<br /><br />And leaves......<br /><br />A light breeze......<br /><br />Moves the leaves and branches.....<br /><br />Ever so slightly.....<br /><br />The trees are <i>talking</i> amongst themselves.....<br /><br />Three trees in particular......<br /><br />On this day are talking!!<br /><br />The first tree says.....<br /><br /><i>"My wood is so majestic....."<br /><br />"When the woodsman comes to the forest...."<br /><br />"I will be cut down......."<br /><br />"And made into a THRONE!!"<br /><br />"I will <u>hold</u> a king!!"</i><br /><br />The second tree said, <br /><br /><i>"My wood is sooooooo majestic...."<br /><br />"When the woodsman cuts ME down......"<br /><br />"He will build a fine ship......"<br /><br />"I <u>will</u> carry kings......"<br /><br />"And treasures within ME!!!"</i><br /><br />The third tree said,<br /><br /><i>"My wood is large and majestic......"<br /><br />"That when the woodsman cuts ME down......"<br /><br />"I will be built into a beautiful mansion......"<br /><br />"People will stare at ME in awe......."<br /><br />"For <u>YEARS</u> to come!!!"</i><br /><br />Over time, the trees were cut down.....<br /><br /><a

/>With only saying a <i>Word</i>!!<br /><br />The third tree......<br /><br />That wanted to be a mansion......<br /><br />Had a beam cut out of his wood.....<br /><br />A beaten, bloody man......<br /><br />With a crown of thorns on his head.....<br /><br />Dragged this beam down the street....<br /><br />He fell a few times.......<br /><br />His blood dripping onto the wood......<br /><br />Soldiers <i>nailed</i> this man to the beam......<br /><br />And raised the beam up into the air......<br /><br />The bleeding man died on the beam.......<br /><br />And to this <i>VERY DAY</i>......<br /><br />People look up to this beam......<br /><br />In awe for the Man.....<br /><br /><a

with me......<br /><br />Let me take you down three paths....<br /><br />That YOU probably never walked down....<br /><br />So walk with ME!!<br /><br />The first path will take us to......<br /><br />A cemetary!!<br /><br />Walk amongst the headstones.....<br /><br />And read some stories....<br /><br />A few months back.....<br /><br />I wrote about "Living In Your Dash"....<br /><br />I won't retell it......<br /><br />But this is similar!!<br /><br />You will see names in the cemetary.....<br /><br />That are "ancestors" of people YOU know....<br /><br />Prominent names in your town.....<br /><br />You will see people that lived.....<br /><br />During the Great Depression.....<br /><br />World War One and Two....<br /><br />The Civil War......<br /><br />You will see "Veterans"..... <br /><br />That died during those Wars...<br /><br />You will see wives.....<br /><br />That died before their husbands....<br /><br />Or the other way.....<br /><br />You will see children.....<br /><br />Who died too young.....<br /><br />Or couples that died on the same day!!<br /><br />Stand STILL in front of the tombstone....<br /><br />"Listen" for their story.....<br /><br />Their tragedy.....<br /><br />Their LOVE.....<br /><br />Their loss.....<br /><br />They are there.....<br /><br />If you can "hear" them!!<br /><br />You will <i>learn</i> ALOT!!!!<br /><br />Next, go to a local junkyard.....<br /><br />Auto salvage yard......<br /><br />Or whatever it is called near you......<br /><br />Walk amongst the cars....<br /><br />They have "stories" to tell, too!!!<br /><br />You will see an old pickup truck....<br /><br />The "farm name" is faded....<br /><br />It has a quarter of a million miles on it....<br /><br />You wonder of the amount of things it has hauled!!<br /><br />Bales of hay....<br /><br />Fruits or veggies....<br /><br />A "newborn" calf.....<br /><br />Farm workers and so much more!!<br /><br />You'll see a sports car that was wrecked....<br /><br />A car like your first car......<br /><br />A mini-van with a baby seat still in it.....<br /><br />You'll see windshields with "spider web" cracks....<br /><br />You KNOW somebody hit it.....<br /><br />You wonder if they lived.....<br /><br />Or were hurt real bad.....<br /><br />Each vehicle has a story.....<br /><br /><i>WHY</i> is it there???<br /><br />Old age??<br /><br />Damage??<br /><br />Accident??<br /><br />One time I "found" a bumper sticker....<br /><br />"Is Your BIBLE Dusty??"<br /><br />Very cool, it went on my car!!<br /><br />A friend went to find a mirror for his van.....<br /><br />When he found one.....<br /><br />As he took the door panel off......<br /><br />He heard something......<br /><br />Inside of the door was 15 to 20 dollars.....<br /><br />In change!!!!<br /><br />Could you imagine the Mom or Dad......<br /><br />Wondering, <i>"Where has all my change gone??"</i><br /><br />Some little "munchkin" just dropping coins.....<br /><br />When nobody was around.....<br /><br />READ the stories in a junkyard.....<br /><br />Stand by each vehicle......<br /><br />And <i>READ</i> what it says!!<br /><br />One LAST walk........<br /><br />Down the streets in YOUR town.....<br /><br />Or in the aisles.....<br /><br />Of your grocery store or Walmart......<br /><br />Look at the old couple.....<br /><br />Slowly, walking down the aisle.....<br /><br />They have been together a long time.....<br /><br />Or the Mom with three or four kids in tow.....<br /><br />Is she a "Stay at Home Mom"???<br /><br />Or a "Working Mom" shopping.....<br /><br />On her way home???<br /><br />Or is she a "Single Mom"???<br /><br />Alone with nobody to help her???<br /><br />Or you see the man.....<br /><br />With <i>stress</i> written all over his face!!<br /><br />Or <i>sorrow</i>.....<br /><br />Or <i>grief</i>......<br /><br />Or YOU see a couple.....<br /><br />With <i>LOVE</i> "beaming" from them.....<br /><br />Or <i>anger</i> or <i>hatred</i> between them!!<br /><br />Stand still and <i>READ</i> their stories.....<br /><br />They are <i>flowing</i> from them.....<br /><br />Just <i>dying</i> to be read!!<br /><br />Stories are all around you!!<br /><br />People......<br /><br />Old cars.....<br /><br />Headstones.....<br /><br />Have <i>STORIES</i> just beaming....<br /><br />FROM THEM!!!!<br /><br />Are YOU open to <i>read</i> them???<br /><br />Why should that matter???<br /><br />Because.......<br /><br />Joe Schroeder frequently says....<br /><br /><i>"My Prosperity Prospers 10,000 People.....<br /><br />And Their Prosperity Prospers ME!!"</i><br /><br />There are TEN Thousand People.....<br /><br />Looking for <i>YOU</i>.....<br /><br />They are dying to tell YOU their story.....<br /><br />And to receive <i>increase</i> from YOU.....<br /><br />Do you want to learn how to <i>read</i> people...<br /><br />Stop over to <a href="http://ping.fm/qw5Xt">The Million Mind

am very jealous for my friend......<br /><br />Queen Dee Gabinet lives near Vancouver.....<br /><br />Granted she could probably live better.....<br /><br /><i>Without</i> the <u>MILLIONS</u> of

shared this with <i>some</i> of you.....<br /><br />At Wisdom School during lunch.....<br /><br />On Saturday.....<br /><br />I want to remind YOU......<br /><br />And put this object lesson in your head.....<br /><br />So that you see this.......<br /><br />Over, and over, and over again......<br /><br />Where YOU are everyday......<br /><br />This goes back to something that Joe Schroeder teaches.....<br /><br />(<i>and WILL be another note, soon</i>)<br /><br /><i>"What YOU Sell......Cannot Be Your Business!!"</i><br /><br />Here is my first question.....<br /><br /><i>What does the Newark Airport Hotel <u>sell</u></i>???<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S4EtVmAh2RI/AAAAAAAAACk/xWfdVhnyQUk/s1600-h/hilton.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440679673843538194" /></a><br /><br />Rooms, or sleeping accomodations, would be right....<br /><br /><b>BUT......</b><br /><br /><i>Where does <u>this</u> Hilton make the <u>Most Money</u>....<br /><br />With the <u>MOST</u> Profit??????</i><br /><br />The rooms???<br /><br />The restaurant???<br /><br />The bar???<br /><br />The coffee shop???<br /><br />The gift shop???<br /><br />Parking???<br /><br /><i>Nope, nope, nope</i> on <u><i>ALL</i></u> counts!!!<br /><br />Let me share this scenario.....<br /><br />Mr Hilton was sitting in his office.....<br /><br />He heard a <i>knock</i> on his door.....<br /><br />A man walked in and said.....<br /><br /><i>"Mr Hilton, I am with Verizon Wireless...."<br /><br />"With the airport close by, I CANNOT put up a cell tower...."<br /><br />"You, Sir, have the tallest building in the area....."<br /><br />"May I put a cell tower ON TOP of your hotel????"</i><br /><br />Mr Hilton said, <i>"Sure you can!!!"</i><br /><br />He extended his right hand to <i>confirm</i> the deal.....<br /><br />And extended his left hand, to say, <i>"Pay ME!!"</i><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S4EtVaq2hJI/AAAAAAAAACU/10qDit4cMos/s1600-h/hand+out.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

/></a><br /><br /><small>Yeah, I KNOW that is a "right hand" in the pic!!!</small><br /><br />The next day, there was a <i>knock</i> on the door....<br /><br /><i>"Mr Hilton, I am with AT&T Wireless...."<br /><br />"I see you <u>let</u> Verizon put up a tower....."<br /><br />"May <u>I</u> put one up too????"</i><br /><br />Mr Hilton said, <i>"Sure You CAN!!!!"</i><br /><br />Extending <i>BOTH</i> hands in agreement.....<br /><br />The next day, Nextel....<br /><br />Then Sprint.....<br /><br />Then T-Mobile.....<br /><br />You name them and they came......<br /><br />Mr Hilton ALWAYS said......<br /><br /><i>"Sure YOU can!!!!"</i><br /><br />As he extended BOTH hands!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S4EtVSLI6nI/AAAAAAAAACc/dL6YOxQ0nsg/s1600-h/hand+out+3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

/></a><br />Look at the center of the roof......<br /><br />Those are cell and radio towers....<br /><br />Sticking up in the center!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S4EtWA8vJ7I/AAAAAAAAACs/HF8dZouZjhk/s1600-h/hilton-newark-airport.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer;

alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5440679681075390386" /></a><br /><br />It gets <i>better</i> yet!!!<br /><br />Soon, there was another <i>knock</i> at the door....<br /><br /><i>"Mr Hilton, I am with the County 911 Center......"<br /><br />"We need to stay in CONSTANT communication......"<br /><br />"With our First Responders......."<br /><br />"Police, Fire, Ambulance........"<br /><br />"Could WE put a 'radio repeater tower' on YOUR roof????"</i><br /><br />Mr Hilton said, <i>"Sure, anything to <u>HELP</u> my community!!"</i><br /><br />Extending <u>BOTH</u> hands in agreement, again!!<br /><br />More radio towers came as well.....<br /><br />To Mr Hilton, who would say <i>"YES!!!"</i><br /><br /><u>WHY</u> would he do that???<br /><br /><u>WHY</u> would he rent out his roof????<br /><br /><u>WHY</u> is it the <u>MOST</u> profitable????<br /><br />The roof is <i>never</i> seen by guests....<br /><br />It only holds air conditioning and heating units.....<br /><br />He IS <i>profiting</i> from un-used space.....<br /><br /><i>MOSTLY</i> because NOBODY from the Hilton.....<br /><br />Has to do a <i>thing</i> to <i>maintain</i> the towers!!!<br /><br />The tower owner rents the space.....<br /><br />And has to make the repairs and adjustments....<br /><br />To their <i>own</i> tower!!!!<br /><br />Mr Hilton has somebody open up......<br /><br />The <i>monthly</i> checks that tower owners send <i><u>HIM</i></u>!!!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ODr_nyWd_JA/S4EtWZ81KzI/AAAAAAAAAC0/IsTQFsYcClo/s1600-h/successsecrets2-main_Full.jpg"><img

you do NOT live near.....<br /><br />Any of the <i>"Great Lakes"</i>.....<br /><br />You have probably NEVER heard.....<br /><br />The scary phrase......<br /><br /><i>"Lake Effect Snow"</i>!!!!<br /><br />It is caused by the <i>winter winds</i>.....<br /><br />Blowing across the Great Lakes.....<br /><br />Evaporation from the Lake adds moisture.....<br /><br />The combo of the "moisture" , wind, and cold weather......<br /><br />Can DUMP large quantities of snow......<br /><br />In the path of the wind!!!<br /><br />That is why you hear, so much......<br /><br />Of Buffalo.......<br /><br />Or Watertown, NY......<br /><br />Or even Oswego, NY........<br /><br />Getting dumped on with snow......<br /><br />Measured in <u>FEET</u>!!!<br /><br />One Christmas, I left my Mom's house.....<br /><br />To travel to my brother's house.....<br /><br />In the opposite corner of the same town......<br /><br />HIS house was closer to <i>Lake Ontario</i>.....<br /><br />It was clear, sunny, and beautiful......<br /><br />At my Mom's house.....<br /><br />SIX miles later, at my brother's house.......<br /><br />There was a FOOT of "fresh snow"!!!!<br /><br /><i>Soooooo, you are asking YOURSELF</i>......<br /><br /><i>"Big Deal, Jason......."<br /><br />"What's the point??????"</i><br /><br />You WILL love this!!!!!<br /><br /><i><b>Can YOU Become "Lake Effect"?????</i></b><br /><br />Remember, I said......<br /><br />The winds blow across the Lake.....<br /><br />Collecting the <i>"evaporating water"</i>......<br /><br />And when they make land fall......<br /><br />They can DUMP......<br /><br /><u>ALOT</u> of snow!!!<br /><br />So........<br /><br />The <i>neighborhood</i> that YOU are in????<br /><br />As YOU <i>blow across</i> this neighborhood.....<br /><br />Collect from it what you CAN......<br /><br />Gather UP the <i>"evaporations"</i>.......<br /><br />Take them and <u><i>MULTIPLY</i></u> them.....<br /><br />To the area YOU are heading......<br /><br /><i>OHHHHHHH, I "hope" YOU see this!!!!!</i><br /><br /><i>MOST</i> people that "experience"......<br /><br /><i>Lake Effect Snow</i>.......<br /><br />Grow to <i>HATE</i> it!!!<br /><br />But......allow ME to show YOU!!!!<br /><br /><i>GATHER</i> from <i>"Your Surroundings"</i>......<br /><br /><i>TAKE</i> what YOU have "gathered".......<br /><br />AND.............<br /><br /><i>SHARE</i> it with the <i>NEXT Community</i>......<br /><br />In <i>YOUR</i> Path!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />YOU are <u>NOT</u> dumping.....<br /><br />If YOU are doing it
