From the Desk of Bob

Happy Summertime! I hope everyone is enjoying their summer as much as I am these days. This week my desire is to encourage you to press on when the going gets tough. Let me mention this...

If tough times are gripping your life and it is really hurting I can relate with this pain. Many people right now in pretty tough spots. We are not alone. I believe together we can pull through any of life's challenges. Let me know if I can help you somehow.

Have a GREAT WEEK! Bob

Seeds of Success: Never, Ever Quit!

By Robert A. Prentice

In these days of stress and strife, it is more vital than ever for us to maintain a healthy and proper mental attitude in our daily living. We can so easily get dragged down into the muck and the mire. There seems to be way too much negative information floating around these days, and that in itself can burden us to the point of throwing up our hands in despair, saying, "Enough! I have had enough of all the negativity!"

When I started to feel like that recently, I made the conscious decision to seclude myself in my back yard and workshop area for a couple of days. I enjoyed two whole days of no news, no weather forecasts, no surfing the internet, no listening to radio, and no watching television, and it was absolutely refreshing.

So what did I do with all that free time? Well, for one thing, I was working in my greenhouse with all my spinach, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, and etc. growing.

Of course lawn care is a priority right now with mowing and weed eating and spraying for weeds. I call all this my therapy!

During my two day sabbatical from taking in negative information, while at the same time working with my mind and hands to create something, I was continually looking up. In looking up I am acknowledging that I know whose hands this crazy world is in, so I don't need to be stressed out. In looking up I am reminding myself that I do not have to figure everything out all by myself. In looking up I am giving thanks to the Creator who have gifted me (and all of us) with an awesome power to think and create. In looking up I am recognizing where my strength and wisdom come from. Whatever I need, I know the answer is to just keep looking up.

Have the negatives of life been ripping you apart? Allow me to encourage you to consider looking up. You'll find you are better able to tackle whatever the world throws at you in the days and weeks to come.

On the Sunny Side of Life: For those who take life to serious.

A day without sunshine is, like, night.

On the other hand, you have different fingers.

42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be
misquoted, then used against you.

I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.

Honk if you love peace and quiet.

Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese."
