What is Success

What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing; knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work and a certain sense of purpose.
Margaret Thatcher

A holy life is not an ascetic, or gloomy, or solitary life, but a life regulated by divine truth and faithful in Christian duty. It is living above the world while we are still in it.

The more a true saint loves God with a truly gracious love, the more he desires to love Him, and the more miserable he is at his lack of love to Him.

He was created of a mother whom he created. He was carried by hands that he formed. He cried in the manger in wordless infancy, he the Word, without whom all human eloquence is mute.

Business Building with Twitter

Every business, whether online or offline can benefit from using Twitter. No matter what the nature of your business is, what type of product you manufacture or sell, or whether you are in the service industry, every company and business needs advertising. This is how Twitter can benefit and builds every business; through free advertising and marketing. It doesn’t matter what your company or business is, every business and organization needs a marketing strategy, promotion, and to increase its customer base. Twitter not only does this, but it does so easily.

A comprehensive marketing strategy is one of the most important tools every business must utilize. With the technological advances provided today, every company has the ability to reach numerous customers worldwide. It doesn’t matter if you work online or offline every company needs customers. When determining your marketing plan it’s important to consider all mediums available. Online marketing provides many advantages including the low and inexpensive cost, the ability to reach people on a global scale, and the ability to advertise your business services 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

One of the best benefits of building your business with Twitter is the fact that you can stay in touch with customers on a local or global scale. Your company might not be online, but if you have a mail order service, then your customer reach must be great. Likewise, if your business only serves those in the local community, staying in touch with your customer base through Twitter is an excellent option. It’s easy to add your twitter name to business cards and once you do, you’ll find that it doesn’t take long before your customers, friends, and even new ones begin following you. Regardless of the nature of your business you can add product updates, sales, coupons, special offers and marketing promotions all on Twitter.

Twitter is a micro blogging platform. This means that it is similar to a regular blog only smaller in size and function. When you communicate on Twitter you are giving short messages in a form similar to status updates. You can state anything from what you are doing at the moment, to new products your company is unveiling. Since it is micro blogging, you don’t need to worry about composing lengthy articles or newsletters to stay in touch with your customers or to promote your company.

Twitter is free to use and this is one of its greatest advantages as a marketing tool. It requires very little time to send out a “tweet” and you don’t need to lose valuable time that would be spent working to update your Twitter posts. Another factor to take into consideration is that you can tweet from a mobile phone or Black Berry. For those who might not have access to a computer 24/7 the ability to make calls from your mobile phone is a tremendous benefit. The ease and convenience of keeping in touch with your customers and the simplicity of attracting new ones through Twitter makes it an incredible business building tool that can be used by everyone, regardless of the nature of their business.

My Two Cents

Recently,I had to change Internet cable services. One former provider promised to send me a postage-paid box to mail their equipment back to them. I waited. No box came. I phoned. The promised box still did not arrive, but I did get a bill for the equipment! I was so furious.

After 2 hours on the phone with no resolution and wanting to get this resolved, I decided to return it at my own expense. I sent several faxes and made unknown number of calls asking if they received it - but no reply. Then I got a refund check for $.02 for the returned equipment! An experience like that can be frustrating. A simple transaction was complicated by poor communication.

Sadly, some people in our churches may encounter an impersonal response to their needs. Weather seeking marital counseling, childcare, guidance for a troubled teen, or a loving community, they come away feeling uncared for.

All churches are not perfect, but they faithfully help others. The church at Jerusalem "divided (their goods) among all, as anyone had need" (Acts 2:45).

Good communication is the starting point for learning others' needs. This enables us to provide personal and practical help to people when they need it. Resources, both material and spiritual can then be directed to each person as the object of God's personal love.

God cares for you - care for others.
Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do so. - Proverbs 3:27

The furnace of affliction is a good place for you, Christian; it benefits you; it helps you to become more like Christ, and it is fitting you for heaven.

Spurgeon, C. H.

I Can Only Imagine

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

I can only imagine

This is one of my most famous songs! Enjoy!

Mothers and Wives

Whether it's Mother's Day or Christmas. I enjoy pondering the fact that Jesus had a mother. When we look at the New Testament accounts of the life of Christ, we don't have to search far to see the important role his mother had in his life. Over time though, her role changed. The way she handled that shifting role leaves a great example for us.

Mary's love for Jesus was obvious. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes in Bethlehem. She and Joseph fled with him to Egypt. They watched his wisdom and independence blossom. In Jesus' adult years- when Mary witnessed him turn the water into wine at a wedding - her role as a mom seemed to change. She stepped back and acknowledged his authority. She continued to follow him on his trips as he ministered to people around him. On one of those trips, when he announced that his mother and brothers were not connected to him by flesh and blood but those who were part of the family of faith (Luke 8:31), she was presented with another aspect of her role change: in addition to being Jesus' mother, she was his disciple as well. It's obvious that she accepted that position, because she followed Jesus to his death and stood at the foot of his cross. After the Resurrection, Mary was also present in the upper room, where she waited for the Holy Spirit along with the other disciples.

When we struggle as moms, when we're unsure of our roles, when we need wisdom and help for a particular stage, it is so comforting to remember that the one to whom we pray is also one who had a mother!

Dear Lord,

Every single evening
As I'm lying here in bed,
This tiny little Prayer
Keeps running through my head:

God bless all my family
Wherever they may be,
Keep them warm
And safe from harm
For they're so close to me.

And God, there is one more thing
I wish that you could do;
Hope you don't mind me asking,
Please bless my computer too..

Now I know that it's unusual
To Bless a motherboard,
But listen just a second
While I explain it to you, Lord.

You see, that little metal box
Holds more than odds and ends;
Inside those small compartments
Rest so many of my friends.

I know so much about them
By the kindness that they give,
And this little scrap of metal
Takes me in to where they live.

By faith is how I know them
Much the same as you.
We share in what life brings us
And from that our friendships grew.

Please take an extra minute
From your duties up above,
To bless those in my address book
That's filled with so much love.

Wherever else this prayer may reach
To each and every friend,
Bless each e-mail inbox
And each person who hits 'send'.

When you update your Heavenly list
On your own Great CD-ROM,
Bless everyone who says this prayer
Sent up to GOD.Com

Amen

Quote of the Day
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We know God but as men born blind know the fire: they know that there is such as thing as fire, for they feel it warm them, but what it is they know not. So, that there is a God we know, but what He is we know little, and indeed we can never search Him out to perfection; a finite creature can never fully comprehend that which is infinite.

You are those worthies "of whom the world is not worthy," Hebrews 11:38. You are the princes "that prevail with God," Genesis 32:28. You are those "excellent ones" in whom is all Christ's delight, Psalm 16:3. You are His glory. You are His picked, culled, prime instruments which He will make use of to carry on His best and greatest work against His worst and greatest enemies in these latter days.
