...YOUR DAILY MOMENT OF ZEN 1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone. 2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and a leaky tire. 3. It’s always darkest before dawn. So if you’re going to steal your neighbor’s newspaper, that’s the time to do it. 4. Don’t be irreplaceable. If you can’t be replaced, you can’t be promoted. 5. Always remember you’re unique. Just like everyone else. 6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet. 7. It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others. 8. It is far more impressive when others discover your good qualities without your help. 9. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of car payments. 10. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes. 11. If at first you don’t succeed, skydiving is not for you. 12. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day.

...Today I am writing on one the most treasure tools of my Christian walk, prayer. Most of us have experienced times of prayer either in the home or church. I remember prayers taught to me in childhood. I was taught to say my prayers regularly at bed time. As a child I was taught "Now I lay me down to sleep..." and the Lord's Prayer. I do not remember learning them; I just remember always knowing them. As I think of the ways I learned to pray, the most important teacher was the experience. My family did not have times of prayer together except at daily meals when grace was offered by my father. On Sundays when I went to church, I remember hearing long and boring prayers from the minister. As I recall, on no occasion was I taught about silent prayer, meditating, or the fact that I could have an individual relationship with God. Being a new Christian I found it a challenge to pray on a consistent basis. The first step in developing a life of prayer, was realizing that prayer was communicating with God. As I prayed There were times when sickness in the home or with close relatives caused me to prayer without ceasing. I didn’t realize at that time, that I was becoming an intercessor. Many times as a young Christian I served as my pastor’s driver and daily companion while rearing my children. There were times when she would be called upon to pray for the sick, at the church or at the hospital. This is where I learned the power of prayer. I can recall during times of pain...

...best years of my life. There were huge mountains that scrapped the skies and endless adventure as far as the eye could see. We even lived by a trail that would go up to a landmark called Frog Rock. I loved it on the trail and by the time I left, I had explored every inch of the trail grounds and could walk the trail with my eyes closed. The trail was always dusty and dirty. There were more weeds, grass, dirt and rocks than there were trees. The huge natural rocks always gave a great view of salt lake city, as long as you were not afraid of climbing and heights but you'd have to...
