ON THE BRIGHT SIDE
OCTOBER 1ST, 2006
TODAY'S THOUGHT
We must be willing to fail and to appreciate the truth that often "Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived. M. Scott Peck"
TODAY’S ACTION
Be kind and generous to all people—equally—without reservation.
TODAY’S QUOTE
The best way out of a problem is through it.
Old Saying
A story comes to mind about a farmer, who ploughed around a large rock in his fields for many years. He had broken many ploughshares in that time. One day after breaking another piece of his plough he decided to finally do something about it.
When he put a crowbar under the rock he was surprised that it lifted quite easily. He lamented all the time he lost working around it, instead of working with it.
Like the farmer we often plough around problems. Often the best way of tackling any problem is to deal with it straight away and straight on.

Please pray for God's protection of our troops and HIS wisdom for their commanders.
