A Soulful Journey

Norman Vincent Peale remarked that when he was young the ticking of his grandfather’s clock was ponderous.  “It seemed to say, “There—is--plenty – of –time.   There—is--plenty – of –time.  There—is--plenty – of –time.   There—is--plenty – of –time.”  But modern clocks, having a shorter pendulum with a swifter stroke, seem to say, “Time to get busy!   Time to get busy!    Time to get busy!    Time to get busy! ”  Maybe it's time to get a new internal clock.

The late Knute Rockne, one of the greatest football coaches this country ever produced, said that a football player cannot have sufficient energy unless his emotions are under spiritual control.   In fact, he went so far as to say that he would not have a man on his team who did not have a genuinely friendly feeling for every fellow player.   “I have to get the most energy out of a man,” he said, “and have discovered that it cannot be done if he hates another man.   Hate blocks his energy and he isn’t up to par until he eliminates it and develops a friendly feeling.”   -Norman Vincent Peale Want to be the best?  Get rid of the darkness.
