"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

"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."
