2010.02.08 Monday Morning!

MONDAY MORNING greetings from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, in Vinita, Oklahoma.

Last week I got an email from a friend, Don Grant. While riding his motor scooter on East Admiral Place in Tulsa, his wallet slipped out of his pocket. When he returned home and discovered his loss, he wrote "I was sick, sick, sick." When a phone call came from a man who had found the lost wallet, and who arranged to meet Don to return it, Don was well.

Yes, as Don said, "there are plenty of honest folks around."

Truth and honesty are woven into the human soul, but it takes effort to cultivate them. When one nurtures ones inner life, good character results. Our outward, visible life is bound up with our inner attitudes.

For better or for worse, the "stuff" that steers and directs us are the "stuff" of our choice, our decisions.

Here's a "Pearl of Value", sent by Brian Dishman, who lives in Japan: "Nothing is either good or bad but thinking makes it so." (William Shakespeare)

Thanks, Don and Brian, and thanks to all of you in our Monday Morning family.

Richard
