Reprinted from Bill Alison’s Amazing Time Management Secrets: It’s one thing to climb the ladder of success, but it’s quite another to climb the RIGHT ladder. Just how super is winning a Super Bowl? Consider these insights by guest blogger Josh Carter: From the outside looking in, Tom Brady appears to have the life everyone longs for, despite not winning Super Bowl XLII. But things are different on the inside. In a past interview with 60 Minutes Brady raised the question, “Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there’s something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, ‘Hey man, this is what is.’ I reached my goal, my dream, my life. Me, I think, ‘God, it’s got to be more than this.’ I mean this isn’t, this can’t be what it’s all cracked up to be.” When pressed to answer his own question, Brady responded, “I wish I knew.” “My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor.

Luke’s early excursions into the snow were met with suspicion and hesitation… what was all this cold stuff blanketing the world in white? He treated it as an odd substance he didn’t want to get too close too, and his first attempted ride in a sled brought tears. So Dad surrendered and hasn’t tried to get Luke into the snow much. But this 6-8 inch snow fall this week was worth a second try, and this time Luke loved it! Just wanted to share some pictures of Luke and Daddy playing in the snow. Always remember, though, Mom was there too, she just prefers the other side of the camera most of the time. Thanks mom for some great pics! All bundled up and ready to try the snow again… Knee deep and checking it out… The verdict is in… he cool with it. (pun intended) He even let Daddy pull him around in circles in the sled! Daddy tried to impress his son with Snow Blocks… to no avail. Luke’s version of fun was smashing the blocks faster than Dad could make them. But the smile was all Dad was hoping to build.

A friend just told me about a site that e-mails you your daily Bible reading for free, and says: I want to share with you a web mail service I have been using over the past three years. If you are like me I often go about my busy schedule and forget to have time to read the Bible every day. A few years ago I found this really cool site that emails you daily readings of the Bible in various formats and versions. I have been using it for the past three years and it really helps me to keep on track with my daily reading. If you follow through on each day you can finish the Bible in the course of a year. The website is: http://www.bibleinayear.org/ You have the choice of several versions: King James, New King James, American Standard, New American Standard, World English Bible, New International, Conservative, Revised Standard. You also can receive them in several methods: Start to finish, chronological, Alternating. Best yet it is absolutely free, just sign up over the provided link. As time goes on you can change your version and/or format each year and gain more insight through the scripture.…
