INSPIRATIONS:
COURAGE IS THE DISCOVERY THAT YOU MAY NOT WIN, AND
TRYING WHEN YOU KNOW YOU MAY LOSE.
HONOR IS STANDING UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE--NOT FOR
WHAT YOU KNOW.
Jesus is .....
"The image of the invisible God, the first born over
all creation. For by Him all things were created.Things in Heaven and on Earth-visible and invisible, all things were created
by Him and for Him. He is before all things and in Him all things held together...
For God was pleased to have fullness dwell in Him (Colossians
1:15-17, 19
LIFE ISN'T ABOUT LIVING WITH PROBLEMS--LIFE IS ABOUT
SOLVING PROBLEMS.
STAND FOR SOMETHING OR YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING.
COMPASSION IS PASSION WITHA HEART.
HOW A PERSON WINS AND LOSES IS MORE IMPORTANT
THEN HOW MUCH A PERSON WINS OR LOSES.
IF YOU ONLY DO WHAT YOU KNOW YOU CAN DO ---YOU NEVER
DO VERY MUCH.
THERE ARE NO FAILURES---JUST LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
****GETTING WHAT YOU WANT IS NOT NEARLY AS SATISFYING
AS GIVING WHAT YOU HAVE!*****
TALENT WITHOUT HUMILITY IS WASTED.
IF YOU DON'T WANT IT BAD ENOUGH TO RISK LOSING IT----YOU
DON'T WANT IT BAD ENOUGH!
WHEN LIFE KNOCKS YOU DOWN YOU HAVE 2 CHOICES
STAY DOWN OR GET UP!
PRAISE IN THE DUGOUT-GREG GRIFFIN
OREL HERSCHISER PITCHED AN UNBELIEVABLE SEASON FOR THE LOS ANGELES DODGERS. FOLLOWING
A COMPLETE SHUTOUT IN AUGUST, HE PITCHED MULTIPLE SHUTOUT INNINGS AND HURLED FIVE MORE COMPLETE THROUGH THE END OF THE REGUALR
SEASON. HE DID NOT ALLOW HIS OPPONENTS TO SCORE AN EARNED RUN IN 59 CONSECUTIVE INNINGS.
WHEN THE DODGERS FACED THE NEW YORK METS IN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS, OREL CONTINUED
TO TE HITTERS, LEADING THE DODGERS TO VICTORY BY PITCHING MORE THAN 24 INNINGS, CROWNED BY A COMPLETE SHUTOUT IN THE FINAL
!!!
IN THE WORLD SERIES HIS COMPLETE VICTORY OVER THE OAKLAND A'S IN FIVE CLINCHED
THE SERIES FOR THE DODGERS. NO WONDER OREL WAS AWARDED THE CY YOUNG AWARD AND TWO MOST VALUABLE PLAYER AWARDS , ONE FOR THE
NATIONAL LEAGUE PLAY-OFFS AND THE OTHER FOR THE WORLD SERIES.
DURING THE PLAY-OFFS, THE TV CAMERAS ZOOMED IN ON THIS LEGEND IN THE MAKING. THEY CAUGHT
OREL IN THE DUGOUT BETWEEN INNINGS SINGING SOFTLY TO HIMSELF. UNABLE TO MAKE OUT THE TUNE, THE ANNOUNCERS MERELY COMMENTED
THAT OREL'S RECORD CERTAINLY GAVE HIM SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT.
JOHNNY CARSON REPLAYED THAT TAPE ON THE "TONIGHT SHOW" A FEW DAYS LATER WHEN OREL APPEARED.
JOHNNY ASKED HIM WHAT SONG HE HAD BEEN SINGING DURING THE AND IF OREL WOULD SING IT AGAIN RIGHT THEN AND THERE. THE
AUDIENCE ROARED ITS APPROVAL OVER OREL'S EMBARASSED RELUCTANCE. SO ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, OREL SOFTLY SANG THE
TUNE TV CREWS HAD BARELY CAUGHT ON TAPE:
PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOW.
PRAISE HIM ALL CREATURES HERE BELOW;
PRAISE HIM ABOVE YE HEAVENLY HOST,
PRAISE FATHER,SON AND HOLY GHOST.
AMEN.
With God ALL things are
possible! (Matt. 19:26)
Proverbs I like:
1) Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth
of a foll invites ruin (Proverbs 10:14)
2) A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes
others, himself will be refreshed. (Proverbs 11:25)
3) It
is not good to have zeal without knowledge, not to be hasty and miss the way. (Proverbs 19:2)
4) and honest answer is like a kiss on
the lips (Proverbs 24:26)
5) Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30)
"To you Lord I lift my soul, in you I
trust O my God"
(Psalm 25:1-2)
"Noone whose hope is in You will ever
be put to shame." (Psalm 25:3)
The Lord's Prayer
"Our Father who art in Heaven; hallowed
be thy Name, Your Kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and
forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass gainst us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us
fro mevil for Thine is the kingdom the power and the glory forever and ever .AMEN
"Don't Quit"
