May I be so bold as to make a suggestion today? Do you have an extra $25.00 to invest in your future? Than by all means go out and pick up the book Strengths Finder by Tom Rath. The first thing to do when you get the book is find the access code for the online test and then go to the website http://www.strengthsfinder.com/ and take the test. You will then discover what your strengths are and, although they may not makes sense to you at first, the more you read about them the more you'll say, "Yeah, that's me alright."
I took the test and was amazed what my top 5 strengths were.

I really got to get up earlier! Sleep is overrated, although I love it! Last night I didn't get to bed until 2:00am!! My own fault. I was watching the CAVS beat Phoenix. But I had to go exercise with my father-in-law at 7:00 this morning. That meant getting up at 6:45am. Now if you do the math, that's 4:45 minutes sleep! I think Benjamin Franklin was right, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise." Although I have also heard it said, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man a rooster in disguise." Don't you find when you get up earlier you get so much more accomplished during the day? Huh? Did you hear me? Oh wait, you can't answer, this is a one way conversation! But it's true. So I think and hope that I am now dedicated to getting up earlier everyday! I'd say 6:00 is a good time so that's what I'll shoot for.
Have a great day and GOADS. Go Out And Do Something!!
My biggest problem is organization. Ask Sue she knows better than anyone. If I could just get organized I would be so much better off! Setting goals and organization. That's what would help me out the most. So I just need to keep telling myself I'm organized and soon I will be! Oh, wait, I guess I should take action on it too!
Ah well, dance was fun tonight, worked on the Waltz! Tomorrow is another day! Starting now, guess what ......... I'm organized!
I can't believe the way that I let this go for so long but I'm going to get started again. This time I think I will keep up with it more because of my new blog My Daily God.
Here's the news. Breanne's getting married in August. Sue and I are taking dancing lessons for the reception, it's a lot of fun! Maybe I'll post a video later. Also just signed up for a podcast page on podbean so look for some podcasts in the near future. I will have the link soon.
Did you happen to see Obama tonight on his Infomercial for his campaign? Now supposedly he said that he was going to tax anyone that was making over $250,000 dollars a year when he first started his campaign (I've heard others say the original number was $300,000) and tonight he said if you make over $200,000. Also, Joe Biden said on one interview if you make over $150,000. Just think, if they do get in office, by the time January gets here the number may very well be $60,000. Yes folks, your taxes are going up! Let's not let this happen. We are going to be in a world of hurt if Obama gets into office. But all of you that wants CHANGE, go ahead and vote for Barack, he will change this country alright and the only ones that are going to like the change are those that are taking advantage the welfare system. They will get a pay raise (for doing nothing) and can go out and buy more lottery tickets!
Are you feeling depressed? Are you feeling lonely? Do you feel that all hope is gone? Is it easier to lay in bed than to actually get out of bed? Are you afraid to face the day because of all the negativity of the world? I know how you feel! There are many times, I too, don't feel like getting out of bed. There are many time that it just doesn't seem worth it. Everything seems like it's not working out the way I want it to. And then, I think of the verse in the Bible that gets me going and up out of bed. 1 John 4:4! Greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world! Greater is he that is in me (Jesus Christ) than he that is in the world (Satan).
By laying in bed can I prove how great Christ is? Absolutely not! So get out of bed, get active and let Christ prove himself to you! Let him take your life and mold it into something great! Because you are a child of God. A brother or sister of Christ. And he died for you and your sins. He who was sinless became sin. One day, every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Buddha, Mohamed, Gandhi, yes, even Charles Manson will proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord! Hallelujah, what a day! Thank God today for Jesus and his power over sin and Satan! Thank you God!!
I was able to get some of my goals accomplished today and others I fell way short. That being said, I at least have them written down, so to speak. I put them together in Microsoft Word so they weren't actually written down. They were typed down. But now that I have them on paper I can refer to them a couple times a day. I'm going to try to say them out loud in the morning and in the evening.
I also started reading a book called, "NLP, The New Technology of Achievement". This seems like some interesting reading and I'm looking forward to getting through this book and applying it. NLP is just plain crazy! For those of you don't know NLP stands for Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Search for it on YouTube!
Speaking of YouTube, here's a video I just posted for WANR 1570.
I am a Christian ventriloquist and magician and a member of the Fellowship of Christian Magicians and Society of American Magicians. I am now working towards retirement and going full time in the entertainment industry with emphasis on church shows.
