Thought for the Day 9/11/2007

"It is not work that kills men; it is worry.
Work is healthy; you can hardly put more upon a man than he can bear.
Worry is rust upon the blade.
It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery, but the friction.
Fear secrets acids; but love and trust are sweet juices."
-- Henry Ward Beecher

The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns
is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life
and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil
is the man who hears the word and understands it.
He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."
Matthew 13:22-23
