Improving Brain and Spirit
"You are the same today as you’ll be in five years except for two things: the books you read and the people you meet." Charlie ‘Tremendous’ Jones (National Speakers’ Hall of Fame) Pray all you want, sing all you want, talk all you want. Enjoy. But true growth on all levels comes from reading. It’s fun to think it comes from the ethers. But don’t fool yourself. As Scripture puts it, "In the beginning was the Word. . ." Thank all the Powers That Be for the ability to read. And if yours, or someone’s you love, is not so good, make it a priority.
