Assessing Character (part 1)
By Bob Burg, author of "Winning Without Intimidation: How to
Master the Art of Positive Persuasion"
There's a saying that a good way to
judge someone's character
is by how he or she treats those who cannot do anything for
them. What's interesting is that for the person doing the
"treating," this goes much further than just being a nice
person
Winters Retreat
Tiny sprigs of bright green
grass pushed hard against the frozen ground, breaking through earth’s
chilled crust to be warmed by the breath of spring, despite winter’s last
attempt at prolonging itself. But as had already been declared by the
witness of the groundhog’s shadow, spring had won her place and winter
must now retreat.
Dear whomever,
Pastor _____ praised the woman for making a deal with her husband.. "Honey
you go with me to church and I promise you will get some." ... Pastor
called this.. Evangelism.
He isn’t suggesting that women give or withhold sex as a way to motivate
their husbands to submit to God's will .. is he?
Creating Memories that Will Last a
Lifetime
by Jeffrey Mayer
She opened the door, walked into my
office, looked me straight in the eyes, and with a stern, somber tone
of voice said, "The weather's supposed to be nice this weekend
and we're going apple picking. Do you want to come?"
I was completely taken off guard. I
spend so much time at my
desk - even working on weekends - that I hadn't realized summer
had come and gone and fall had arrived.
I thought for a brief moment, and
answered with an enthusiastic
"YES! Let's do it."
Each Day Is a New Day
By: Abraham J. Twerski, M.D.
There is probably nothing as destructive to a marriage, or for that matter, to all family relationships, as allowing oneself to become bored with other family members. People who are thrill- seekers and who find their relationship to have become routine may think that another relationship will provide the excitement they seek.
I don't like to inject a note of sadness, but sometimes we do not value something unless we realize we may lose it. Each day we have our parents, spouse, siblings, and children should be a new day. They are a gift to us today.

Surrounded by cars in the midst of Saturday afternoon traffic, I glanced
at my brother John. I was in the midst of a quandary.
Traffic was heavy on
the Southern Orange County freeways on
this beach friendly Saturday afternoon so I opted to drive on
roads that were unfamiliar to me believing it would save me both time and
frustration.
I knew basically which direction to take to get to the destination in
question, I just wasn't clear on this particular point on the map. John
most likely wouldn't be much help, or so I thought.
What's
in a good soup? Love, laughter, good friends!
