The Problem with Focus


Show me, O Lord, my life’s end and the number of my days; let me know how fleeting is my life. - Psalm 39:4

In the winter of his ninth year, Frank Lloyd Wright was walking across a snow-covered field with his reserved, no-nonsense uncle. As they reached the far end of the field, his uncle stopped him. He pointed to his own tracks in the snow, straight and true as an arrow, and then to young Frank’s tracks, which meandered all over the field.

"Notice how your tracks wander aimlessly from the cattle to the woods and back again," his uncle said. "And see how my tracks aim directly to my goal. There is an important lesson in that."

Years later, the famous architect relayed how that experience affected his outlook on life. "I determined right then," he said, "not to miss most things in life, as my uncle had."

Where’s your focus? Is your narrow vision of life keeping you from experiencing the world around you?

- Steve Arterburn

The great thing in this world is not so much where we are, but in what direction we are moving. - Oliver Wendell Holmes

Think about it, at 9 years of age, he was able to discern something with regards to his life.....

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer......  

Crabbing open ups next Thursday, the 4th of July, gettin all my stuff ready
Can't wait, its been years since I hit the opener, my wife will be with me on the boat, AND.... I broke out the money, I'm such a cheapskate, I still, at 66, mow my lawns with a power walk behind mower, almost a half acre of grass, too cheap to pay someone else.....

ANYWAY.....I bought a electric crab pot puller, this should save the back big time. It has given me backaches, the last few years ( didn't even crab last year I was so busy ).....

PEACE ALL......  

VIVA la HAPPINESS, JOY, SERENITY!

GO make it a good one today.....
