KEEP MOVING



A college class was graduating on a hot and humid day. As the graduates walked across the platform and received their diplomas from the president of the college, he smiled, shook their hands, and said loudly, "Congratulations!" Then, in a much lower voice, one that was firm and could be heard only by the graduates, he would say, "Keep moving."

He was only trying to keep the line moving across the stage, but his words were good advice for a lifetime: "Keep moving." After every achievement growing up, graduation, marriage, job promotion, even retirement the best advice is, "Keep moving . Don't stop. Don't stagnate.

He was only trying to keep the line moving across the stage, but his words were good advice for a lifetime: "Keep moving." After every achievement growing up, graduation, marriage, job promotion, even retirement the best advice is, "Keep moving . Don't stop. Don't stagnate.

There is more to life than you have found thus far. This is not the end; it is only the beginning. "Keep moving."

When we approach life with this attitude, we look forward to the future and what God has in store for us.

It’s going down to 41 tonight! Out with the down comfortor, electric blankie and turn on the electric mattress pad!

Petunias are still in full bloom in the pots by the front porch. Grass is still green. Hummingbirds still feeding on the syrup in the feeder. Plants are still on the porch off the kitchen (where the bar is), and the Christmas cactus has bloomed for the year (6 weeks early!). The dog’s sweaters are still packed away, and the sweatshirts are still in winter storage. We are still wearing sandals and capris, and think every day, “is this the still before the storm?”

Re: a room you can rent? Would a blow up mattress work? LOL!

I'm a Texans fan but have never been to Reliant Stadium.

I had Oilers (Luv Ya Blue days) season tickets when I lived in Houston.

I HATE Bud Adams!!!!!!!

I HATE Bud Adams!!!!!!!

LOL - you and me both. I had tickets in Section 758 in the Dome for the Oilers' last few years. I was heartbroken when Bud took that team away.

He SUCKS.
