Life Wisdom
If you want to be miserable, then think about yourself first…what you want, what people are saying about you, what you ought to have done for you, how down you feel, how good you feel. Just focus on yourself. Feeling good yet? If you are, then something is wrong. Selfishness and happiness just don’t go hand in hand. If you are thinking it is better to receive than to give, you’ll never be happy. You’ll never experience the blessing of giving.
Hold out your hand and make a fist for at least one minute. Now, relax. Which feels better? Now imagine if your spirit is tight and how that will quench work in your life.

American Wisdom
It is very imprudent to deprive America of any of her privileges. If her commerce and friendship are of any importance to you, they are to be had on no other terms than leaving her in the full enjoyment of her rights.

Procrastination
Did you know that procrastination is a sin? I say that because sin is not merely doing wrong, it is failing to do what you ought to do.
Procrastination and disobedience are just different shades of the same sin. I heard a quote once that said it well:
“When you have a job to do,
Begin this very hour.
You supply the will,
God supplies the power.”
That is the will power we need to instantly obey!
