TRIUMPH

Well...., Welcome back to the "Little Bunk House on the Prairie" and
my little end of the world.

It has been a few days since I was on this Train of Verbal Chat.
Hope all has been well with all of ya. Things have been quit busy
for me. Ebay offered a 1cent listing fee for 4 days in March and you
guessed it, Jonas went nuts. I listed close to 200 items at a very low
starting bid and the buyers jumped all over them. By the time the
Sales ended, I was Shipping (and still am) 25 to 30 packages every
other day. This I can "REALLY PRAISE " God for. Why? A few months
or so ago, we had our Texas State Missions Rep. here and he didn't preach
the usual Mission Sermon you may be used to hearing. Long story short, I
made some personal decisions that Sunday Night. I dedicated my entire
Ebay thing to the Lord and decided to (above my Tithes) give a percentage
to Missions (above my Mission Pledge) and a percentage to the Youth Work.
God has really been blessing me in doing this.


TRIUMPH
"It's not the critic who counts.......It's not the man who points out how the
Strong man stumbled..........Credit belongs to the man who really was
in the arena, his face marred by dust, sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly, who errs to come up short and short again, because there is
no effert without error and shortcoming. It is the man who actually
strives to do the deeds, who knows the great enthusiam and great devotion,
who spends himself on a worthy cause, who, at best, knows in the end
the triumph of great achievement. And who, at worst, if he fails, at least
fails daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and
cruel souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

Theodore Roosevelt
