"Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written.  And guess what?  It's all available.  All you have to do is go to the library.  But guess what?  Only three percent of the people in America have a library card.  Wow, they must be expensive!  No, they're free.  Probably in every neighborhood.  Three percent!"-Jim Rohn  (Omaha and the surrounding areas have some excellent libraries, with some incredible resources.  What a blessing for all of us.)
 
"Asking is the beginning of receiving.  Make sure you don't go to the ocean with a teaspoon. 
At least take a bucket so the kids won't laugh at you."-Jim Rohn

"To him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon...because he hath wholly followed the Lord."  Deut. 1:36
 
"Every hard duty that lies in your path, that you would rather not do, that it will cost you pain and struggle or sore effort to do, has a blessing in it.  Not to do it, at whatever cost, is to miss the blessing...  Every heavy load that you are called to carry in life hides in inself some strange secret of strength."
-J.R. Miller...Streams in the Desert by Cowman
