MEDITATION ON SUCCESS
"Do not let this Book of Law (The Torah) depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful." (Joshua 1:8)
"Great success, like disgrace, can bring great trouble. Success which advances ego can make you lose your way." (Tao 13.)
A lawyer once commented to me, "If you preachers ever convince people to live by the Ten Commandments, I will be out of business." Now there is a thought: lawyers out of business! Doing God's will is the only real guarantee of success. Beginning with the Ten Commandments, we must first learn the laws by which God guarantees success. To learn these laws is not just a mental exercise but the beginning of a way of living, a way which brings the reward of joyful success. Successful people are often asked, "What is the secret of your success?" One person responded, "To live life fully by doing rather than talking." Maybe that is what is meant by the words in Joshua quoted above. Obedience to God brings happiness, which is real success!

I was in Mexico City with Mrs. FD last week. I am now back in Rochester NY — driving to Corning in a few hours.
Have a wonderful week!

Morning Ma and Happy Lord's Day to you!
I'm having my last lunch with Hilary today before she moves to Portland, so it'll be a special time.
Then, next Sunday I get to sit and listen to Moochelle 0bama deliver the commencement speech :-( it'll be tough!

Hi Kathy.

Everything is growing in abundance.
