Many People Conceive Of Religion As Something Apart From Everyday Affairs Of The World. They Think Of It In Terms Of Ceremony Or Ritual Or Sermons And Often It Strikes Them As Being Dull Or Not Particularly Interesting. Religion May Be Described In Many Ways.

Keep Your Mental And Spiritual Contact Points Cleaned So That God Can Operate Through Your Mind.

The Antidote To Frustration Is A Calm Faith, Not In Your Own Cleverness, Or In Hard Toil, But In God's Guidance.

The Most Vital, Creative, And Positive Thoughts Are Those Stated In The Bible. Its Words Are Alive And Form Powerful Thought Processes.

Have Great Hopes And Dare To Go All Out For Them. Have Great Dreams And Dare To Live Them. Have Tremendous Expectations And Believe In Them.

Think Joy, Talk Joy, Practice Joy, Share Joy, Saturate Your Mind With Joy, And You Will Have The Time Of Your Life Today And Every Day All Your Life.
