Estella is with child! She & Andres are ecstatic! Dottie & I are going to be grandparents for an unknown number of times.

After my sermon this morning I was so excited I spent the afternoon writing my next two sermons for Sunday mornings.

Dr Miguel came to see the 3 boys who will have surgery. Emanuel will be first.

Farrel & Ina arrived from Gueyon with folks from Canada.

If you go to Books a Million, Barnes and Noble or any other bookstore searching for the section on “How to be Successful” you will not find the Bible among the books on the shelf. Yet the Bible is the most clear explanation and instruction book on success than any book ever written. The principles of God for success are so simple and clear. For example:

1. Proper thinking is vital for success. Proverbs 23:7 “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”. What do you think about? What do you allow to go into your mind on a daily basis? Do you spend a few minutes (or nne at all) on the Word of God and then hours on ESPN, CNN soaps or the like on TV? What consumes your thinking?

2. You must have a goal in order to succeed. Phillipians 3:14 “I press on towards the goal for the prize set before me”. Do you lolligag through life with a come-what-may attitude? Do you have goals? Goals drive us and keep us focused.
