What is the single most important thing, and one of the Greatest gifts given to us by our Creator? There are many good answers,I believe Salvation is #1 but how do we rank everything else- Family, Love, Peace, Friendship, Success, Happiness the list is long. I guess the reason for this blog is at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is how you spent it,(TIME). Just so you know this is all self evaluation. I end another day of this Blessed life the Lord has given me, and I wonder-was it lived to the fullest? Did I spend my TIME wisely? Was there a TIME of Worship? Was there a TIME of quietness? Did I truly give my family quality TIME? Did I take care of myself? I end my day watching my beautiful wife and girls sleeping and wondering did I pass the TIME -TEST?

The answer is I'm a "C" student in this subject.

Humbly-

Jeff

Just Give Me A Reason

The word success immediately brings to mind the concept of the Good Life. To be living the Good Life, one must be successful right? It seems that many people would answer ‘yes’ to this question. When I typed in ’success’ in a Google search, I was surprised by the different angles online businesses and even religious websites took on success.
I came across many different types of sites. It seemed that all of the sites either wanted payment for a product that would guarantee success or asked you to join a religion. I was surprised by one sight that looked like a financial business from its advertisement, but is actually a religious site that, after reading a long story , asks you to convert simply by clicking a link! This is just an example of one part of a large commercial interest in peoples curiosity about the meaning of success.
I believe that success is something unique to each person. The curiosity everyone feels about what success is in their life is natural because people are meant to search for what they want to do in life and, when they figure it out, try to achieve what they want. True SUCCESS, I believe is not easy or difficult, it's being content at the end of the day, knowing what ever matters in your life received your ALL!
