"I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I enjoyed your workshop on Saturday. I took advantage of the close proximity to the lake and went up to Mentor Headlands afterward. Then, I went again the next day. On Monday one of my co-workers asked what I had done - she said: What in the world did you do over the weekend? There's not one wrinkle on your face - you look incredible!" more

The Flood
It's like the old story of the man facing a flood who would not leave his house, believing that God would save him. First the police came with a loud speaker in a car urging all to leave. But the man said he would stay and prayed to God. Second, the firemen came in a boat and called on the man to leave, but instead he stayed and prayed again for God's help. Finally, the Army came in a helicopter and lowered a harness so the man could escape, but he refused, saying he knew God would help him, and again he prayed for deliverance. The next thing the man knew, he was being interviewed by a puzzled St. Peter, who was surprised because the man was not supposed to die for many years. The man was also puzzled because God had not saved him. He asked St. Peter why, and St. Peter admitted he was at a loss. St. Peter said, You should be alive. When the flood came, first we sent a car to warn you, then we sent a boat to save you, and finally we sent that helicopter."
