QUOTE:  "If you don't make a total commitment to whatever you're doing, then you start looking to bail out the first time the boat starts leaking. It's tough enough getting that boat to shore with everybody rowing, let alone when a guy stands up and starts putting his life jacket on."  Lou Holtz (former Notre Dame football coach)

FROM THE WORLD OF STEVEN WRIGHT:  When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask if I'm leaving.

WISDOM FROM MICHAEL DUNN, author of “What’s the BIG Secret?”  I am moving into a new house.  My wife told me that she wanted to change the landscape and garden.  I was going to begin to do the work she requested, but realized I had no clue what she actually wanted.  I needed a plan.  I needed the plan in HER heart.  What's the plan for your life.  God can't move on your desires until you make it clear.  Write down exactly what you desire and don't expect God to read your mind.  I am sure he can, but for some reason plans are activated by speaking and writing them into existence.  Thoughts are just thoughts until you give them power.  www.michaelpdunn.org  Gymbeaux Note:  Use a pen and paper, not a computer when you first write out your goals.  There is something magical that happens when you take a thought from your mind, run it down the length of your arm to your hand and out through the top of your pen onto paper.  I can’t site the study but a study has been done and this has been proven to be the case.
