A Weekly Inspirational Thought from Ken Korkow
Wants to sabotage his own business?
Stupid? Insensitive? Wants to sabotage his own business?
As CEO of a business with 40 offices in 30 states Kent Humphreys would send out an annual company 'Christmas letter' to his employees, suppliers, customers. Maybe his care, courage and commitment will inspire you. See what he wrote one year (because it still applies today):
***************************
"The general voting public is more apathetic than ever, while tax revolts are louder than any time since 1776. We live in a world that's changing so fast that even the media and computers can't keep up with the new equipment, trends, and thinking patterns.
That's why this time of year is so meaningful. The continual rush to 'keep up' and 'make it now' is replaced by the more important things like family, friends, and helping those less fortunate. What makes Christmas so different? The Bible says there is one man who is the same yesterday, today and forever - Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is unchangeable in a changing world. We can be secure in an insecure world because of ...
One Solitary Life
"He was born in an obscure village, the child of a peasant woman. He grew up in another obscure village and worked in a carpenter shop until He was thirty. Then, for just three years, He was an itinerant preacher.
"He never wrote a book. He never held an office. He never owned a home. He never had a family. He never went to college. He never put His foot inside a big city. He never traveled two hundred miles from the place where He was born. He never did any of the things that we normally associate with greatness. He had no credentials but Himself.
"While He was still a young man, the tide of popular opinion turned against Him. His friends ran away. He was turned over to His enemies. He went through the mockery of a trial. He was nailed to a cross between two thieves, and His executioners gambled for the only piece of property He had on earth, and that was His coat. When He was dead, He was laid in a borrowed grave through the pity of a friend.
"Two thousand years have come and gone, and today He is the central figure of the human race and the leader of the column of progress.
"All the armies that ever marched, and all the navies that ever sailed, and all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned, put together, have not affected the life of man upon this earth as powerfully as has that One Solitary Life - Jesus!"
(The portion titled 'One Solitary Life' was written by James Allan Francis. Please note the Bible says satan also believes in God - so mere 'belief' is not enough to receive eternal life.
If you would like to know how to have a personal relationship with the Lord - please send me your mailing address and I will give you a free booklet that explains how to have His presence, peace, power, purpose. Indeed - having Christ as Savior and Lord is LIFE'S HIGHEST ADVENTURE. God's blessings and Merry CHRISTmas - Ken Korkow)
