2012.01.16 Monday Morning Message

Message from the archives of Richard Evans:

2008.10.06 Monday Morning!

Greetings and best wishes from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, located in the heart of Vinita, Oklahoma.

People consult the stars and tea leaves in an effort to unveil the future. However, if we knew what was going to happen tomorrow and the day after, and all the tomorrows that are to be, wouldn't life lose its zest and excitement? It would be boring to play out life mechanically! Thank God we are not robots. We have freedom to determine the shape of our tomorrows by what we do today.

Our future depends largely on what we place in store for the future. Not the stars, nor cards, but our own actions will determine the shape of things to come.

Our "Pearl of Value" comes from Viktor Frankl's book Man's Search for Meaning:

"Turn your predicaments into achievements - you have that capacity."


With blessings and best wishes,
Richard
