If at first you don't succeed, it is always better the second time.

Congratulations!

SOME GOOD IDEAS

Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

When you say, "I love you", mean it.

When you say, "I'm sorry", look the person in the eye.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

Believe in love at first sight.

Never laugh at anyone's dreams.
People who don't have dreams don't have much.

Love deeply and passionately.
You might get hurt but it's the only way to live life completely.

In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.

Don't judge people by their relatives.

Talk slowly but think quickly.

When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and ask,
"Why do you want to know?"

Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

Drink less soda, beer, and coffee, and drink more water, milk, and orange juice.

Smile when answering the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice

Welcome to 'your day' here at the Finest.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting you before but I am anxious to learn your whole life story today.

May I offer you some snacks as you post your replies today.

PERSPECTIVE

There are two ways to look at every situation in life:

Is the cup half empty

Or is the cup half full?

It is amazing how our perception can be changed by our attitude.

For example,
think about God and then look at these letters.

N-O-W-H-E-R-E

You can assume that God is

NO WHERE.

Or you can believe that God is

NOW HERE!

Follow this advice and you can improve your life:

Always remember that you are loved,
even when it doesn't seem like it.

Believe in yourself and your values.
Don't sell out when things go wrong.

Don't let anything get you down;
always bounce back up.

Set goals for your future
and never settle for anything less.

Realize that there are others in the world
with much bigger problems than you.

Appreciate the good things in your life,
and be thankful for the time you have with your loved ones.

Spend more time with your family and friends.

Appreciate the simple things in life,
and don't get caught up in material things.

If you follow that advice you can't go wrong!

So the next time you're looking at a situation in your life:

Is the cup half empty?

Or is the cup half full?

Be an optimist and see the cup as being half full.
Before long, your attitude will rub off on others.
You can make the world a better place
by simply making yourself a happier person.

If you see someone without a smile,
give them one of yours.

Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

Don't know about this one.
Mrs. ladtx and I had one date, were engaged 1 week, were married 2 weeks before I went to Viet Nam and this month we will celebrate 33 years of marriage.

Yesterday we got this postcard from Eric. On the back of it he said, "....we just shot our M16's in our protective masks, and this is what we looked like! Cool, eh? And, of course, I am BAD to the BONE!"

Eric's in Blue Phase now, the final phase of Basic Training, with only 3 weeks to go before graduation. (THANK YOU LORD!!!)

He is still loving it! In the next 3 weeks he will work with grenades and rocket launchers, go on bivouac, and go on 10k and 15k marches in full gear.

He passed his M16 marksmanship test on the first try, though he wanted to score higher (he doesn't want anybody to do better than he!).

He's enjoying being in the PT stud room with only 4 guys and says he sleeps better there.......wonder why? He still thinks the food is good, and is getting more homesick, but says that knowing that he'll see us in three weeks makes it OK. He's also still involved in Bible studies with some of the guys, and was going through Romans with a 27 year old friend who hadn't read a Bible since he was a kid.

I know that you'll forgive my pride when I say.....God is going to use this young man in a mighty way! He is so thrilled to be where God wants him to be, and would like continued prayer for protection against the language and sexual jokes, for the guys he's sharing Christ with, and for him to be used by God in the next few weeks.

Thank you for your prayers!!! You are faithful friends, and I thank God for each of you!!
