KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON!
Life has no success guarantees, not even a sound body, a brilliant mind, a cultural background, a huge amount of money, or a wonderful education. Booker T. Washington was born in slavery. Thomas Edison was deaf. Abraham Lincoln was born to illiterate parents. Lord Byron had a club foot. Robert Louis Stevenson had tuberculosis. Alexander Pope was a hunchback. Admiral Nelson had only one eye. Julius Caesar was an epileptic. Louis Pasteur was so near-sighted that he had a difficult time finding his way in his laboratory without glasses. Helen Keller could not hear or see, but she graduated with honors from a famous college. Michael Jordan attempted 24,537 shots in his time in the NBA, but missed 9,000 shots and lost 300 games. Set-backs are only set-ups for success.
My high school football coach, Joe Gladys, often repeated an inspirational Vince Lombardi quote: “Winners never quit; and quitters never win.” So never give up on yourself, and never give up on God!
Sisters and brothers, be continually blessed, and please (above all else) MAKE SURE YOU ARE READY TO MEET OUR SOON COMING KING. Maranatha!
