"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." ~ Walt Disney

Hello, welcome, and here's to wishing each one a terrific Tuesday, on this April 22, 2025. You know, as in get out there and get it done! Let's face it, the only way to get it done is to go do it! Be the person who is known as one who gets it done! If you know you can be better, well, be better! Do it when you are scared, when you are tired, and when you are alone, but, do it! Pay no attention to your mood, motivate yourself to finish the task at hand! Don't make excuses, they will only delay working your work to get it done! Don't settle, and don't wish you could, just work until it's finished! Yikes, complaining, it will never get across the finish line! Talking is not doing, doing is how things get done! Don't let the impossible keep you from accomplishing your goal! Whining will not work because most don't care and certainly do not want to hear it, therefore, use that energy on the task at hand! What should scare us the most is being average when we have the potential to achieve great results! Okay. I copied a few of those and wrote the others, mostly they are directed towards the audience of the fellow sitting at the computer screen clicking on the keys right now, however, they are admonitions for any and all who will hear and implement them as they make it each day. I was fortunate, no, I was blessed, let me correct that one, I was very blessed and privileged to head up an organization of over 150 people some time back, in a galaxy, far, far away. And, it was exhilarating to be a part of a team that achieved so many great accomplishments. As our most recent previous President would say, "Folks, that's not hyperbole!" And, it isn't and I know it because I was there and I was a part of it. How did we do what we did? The people! That's right. They knew how to get out there and get it done! Yep. And, they made yours truly look really good. They did! What a blessed experience it was. Thank you Lord! Amen.

 

I know that was perhaps a wee bit over the top but that's so much like me. You be like you. I'm not saying I don't need to change and I'm not saying you don't need to change, because, as long as we are breathing air on the planet and our mental faculties are somewhat workable, we can still grow and develop. I can. You can. And, yes, I used the somewhat workable mental description because, speaking for myself, it's not quite as sharp as it was when I was leading that organization so many years ago. However, it is still able to do what it can do. I am a Bible teacher for nearly 60 years. I believe it is my spiritual gift. I could study the material and make a presentation, but, when I yield myself to the Holy Spirit, well, He can speak through me and that my friend is when truth is imparted. That's when change can be recognized, felt, and responded to, beginning with me, myself, and I. Yep. There are other changes I need to pursue as well. I was leaning towards renaming my pup, Lil Miss Biscuit, to a new name, Five Miles. That way I could post on social media each day how I walked Five Miles this morning. That is a joke. Go ahead and smile. It will make you better able to face your day. Okay. I'm going to stop here because as they used to say back where I am from, I need to go see a man about a dog. Meaning: I've got other fish to fry. I'll let you work the application out for yourself. Don't forget to remember the Goodness of God and His blessings that should elicit thankfulness from us all. As always, I am unanimous in that assessment. I am. Take care, and Lord willing I will catch back up with you soon. May God add His blessings. Amen.
