-Author of the "little red book of wisdom"
"If you're representing the lord you have nothing to worry about. It's
the Lord who should be worried."
If it's Christian, it ought to be done better.
The only Christian work is work well done.
Doctrinal differences have caused an ugly divide between evangelical

Those violently protesting our faith are a small and ugly minority.
Mistreatment of Mormons by those who claim to follow Christ has
inspired many attempts at more Christ-like dialogue--the Civility

Can't claim to be a follower of Christ without treating others civilly.
Most people associate wisdom with age power affluence or importance.
Know that wisdom can come from the mouth of babes.
Ways to get wise
1. Spend time with wise people
2. Read the textbook -the Bible- Proverbs
Read a chapter a day. All 31 each month.
3. Ask for it. It comes down from above. James 1:5
If you see a turtle on a fence post, he didn't put himself there.
There are no self made men. God puts us where we are.
There are self starters. God won't get us going.
He started a successful public relations firm, I could start a medical
equipment testing firm.
Losing a family member gets you thinking about death.
God set limits of our time.
Be aware of that limit.
Have a sense of purpose.
By following God, if you gain you gain all. If you lose, you lose nothing.
When you get to the top there is nothing there. The affluence of the
world offers nothing.
Christ is center of all. Following him always brings happiness.
Love your wife.
Both our eternity and life ahead depend on how we answer. Now what?
