"What Attitude Characterizes Your Life?"


                        Methuseiah lived 969 years; Abraham’s age was 
                        175 years.  Of Methuseiah little is known while 
                        Abraham’s influence directed the mainstream 
                        of history pointing to the coming of Jesus, 
                        the Messiah.

Question for both of us:  What attitude is 
going to characterize my life:  mere existence 
or genuine accomplishment?

I must be honest with myself.  I must examine 
my life style in relation to God and to those 
about me.

I must be willing to demand something of 
myself instead of being indifferent or a 
chronic complainer.

I must not allow the calendar to fool me.  
I have only as many days as I choose to use.

REMEMBER WHAT THE WORLD IS 
COMING TO…DEPENDS UPON WHEN, 
IF EVER, YOU AND I COME TO!

ARE YOU WILLING TO TRY?



ED BARRETT put on a spectacular performance when his Cedartown football team played Rome, Georgia on October 31, 1930.  In This game Barrett caught four passes and intercepted three.

ED BARRETT WAS A ONE-ARMED PLAYER!

All of us have limitations and obstacles to overcome.

Two choices are available.

I can keep on trying, using my heart and my head, to find a way to accomplish.  OR I CAN QUIT!

If I determine to keep on trying, I might not succeed.  However, by continuing to try, I do something for myself…something that no amount of money can buy…I discover a sense of self-respect that enables me to make my stay upon this earth fully a life rather than a shallow existence.

SUCCESS consists in GETTING UP one more TIME
than I FALL DOWN.
