    A 10 year-old boy entered a hotel coffee shop and sat at a table. A waitress put a glass of water in front of him. “How much is an ice cream sundae?” the little boy asked. “Fifty cents,” replied the waitress. The little boy pulled his hand out of his pocket and studied the coins he had. “Well, how much is a plain dish of ice cream?” he inquired. By now, more people were waiting for a table...

    The Story of the Butterfly A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours
as it struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
Then it stopped, as if it couldn’t go further. So the man decided to help the butterfly. 
He took a pair of scissors and 
snipped off the remaining bits of cocoon.
The butterfly emerged easily but

    The Story of Hidden Treasure in Clay Balls. A man was exploring caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled clay balls and left them out in the sun to bake. They didn’t look like much, but they intrigued the man so he took the bag out of the cave with him. As he strolled along the...

    Two Saturday nights a month, I work in Cullman County at a dirt racing track. Tonight as I arrived at the track, I noticed I was the only person there. Tonight’s race had been postponed, and I wouldn’t be playing my role on the mic as the “Voice of River Valley Speedway.” It appeared that I had made a burnt run. On my way home, I stopped by an old house that I’d passed many...

    Your life is what you choose to make it. It cannot be any other way. Other people may give you things, experiences, attention and knowledge. Yet it is up to you to make meaning out of it all.

    Take today to Give Back… Give back to your friends, your Family, to your community, your coworkers… Very seldom do we put time aside to help others in our busy schedules because we tend to focus more on ourselves and making sure we are taken care of. It can be as easy holding a door open for someone, letting a car over in front of you in traffic, thanking the employees at your favorite lunch...

    Let Go and Trust The Wisdom of God. Stewing over a challenging situation can cause unnecessary worry and concern. Instead of worrying about what could happen and the worst case scenario, let your trust go to God, believe in him, and try your very best at whatever you do. It takes more time and energy pondering over the bad things in life instead of enjoying the good things that you have going for you. Give...
