my grandfather, a retired minister, puts out a mini message or two each week. the same way he has for at least forty years. thanks grandpa and happy new year all!Everything you need to know you can learn from Noah’s Ark...
- Don’t miss the boat
- Remember that we are all in the same boat.
- Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the boat.
- Stay fit. When you’re 60 years old someone may ask you to do something big.
- Don’t listen to critics. Just get on with the job that needs to be done.
- Build your future on high ground.
- For safety’s sake travel in pairs.
- Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
- When you’re stressed, float awhile.
- Remember – the ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Ps: lori and i watched war of the worlds for the first time on saturday night which lead to our 'escape plan' talk. (one of the privileges of living in nyc is having such a plan...i've already had to walk home to lori from manhattan to brooklyn twice since i moved here in 2001. no cell phones neither!)
so here are my adam's ark picks, I'll be keeping them in my desk drawer at work:
- a meeting place
- crank radio with cell phone charger and flashlight
- that old pair of running shoes you were going to throw out
- a water bottle and cliff bar (takes three hours to walk home)
