The richest place in the world is the cemetery. It is richer than Fort Knox! There are apologies never made, Love never expressed, songs never sung, and sermons never preached. Don’t die with your song still within you!!!
I’m not afraid of dying… only to die before I’ve ever lived!

2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Ants are one of the toughest of anything one could come in contact with. Have a fire ant mound by the mailbox? Kick it, destroy it as best as you can. They will pick up and build right back.
Are there lessons to be learned from this? You’d better believe it! I knew a man that was doing some work on a farm and saw a huge fire ant mound. He lit it and watched it burn. He was so confident that he had won. A week or two later he returned, and remembered the ants. He looked and he saw the charred remnants of the mound . He was about to claim victory when he noticed that they had just moved their mound down a few feet. The ones that had survived the fire had made a heap of the dead, and just began again a few feet farther down. Don’t let anything or anyone stop you or your dream!
A man did a study to show he could keep food unopened in a room and keep ants from getting to it. In the center of a large room, he placed a huge wooden tub filled with water. He placed a barstool in the center of the tub and on the barstool he put a plate filled with chocolate candy. Around the tub, he painted a wide band of slow drying glue. He then sealed the room tight. Six days later he checked the room. Ants were all over the candy.
How did they manage this? The first obstacle was the glue. Hundreds of ants sacrificed their bodies to become a bridge for the others. The water was the second obstacle. The ants carried up little bits of grass and wood and put them together with their spit to form a bridge to swing across to the leg of the barstool. Another kind of ant took an easier route. They simply walked up the wall, up to the ceiling over the stool and dropped onto the chocolate!
Another example of persistence is the Soldier or Marching ants of Malaysia. They march across the jungle, devouring whatever is in their path. If they come to a river and want to cross it, some break away from the group and a few go upstream, a few go downstream until they find the exact spot to cross,then go back to the colony and somehow communicate which way to go. The spot they choose is a sharp bend in the river, where the water happens to be flowing diagonally. The ants interlock with each other to become balls about the size of coconuts, then roll down the bank into the river and let the current carry them across. On the other side, they untangle and continue their march. (Isn’t that amazing?)

10/26–Criticizing is a little man’a tactics. It takes a big man to refrain from criticizing. Belittling others shows just how small you and your thinking really are.
I’m not much for bragging or boasting it on myself but I am pretty generous to brag on others.
A big man is not afraid of making others bigger. He doesn’t see it as a threat to his bigness. A big man doesn’t feel like he has to cut you down to make him feel bigger.
When you find the good in people and sincerely complement them you show to me your bigness and your greatness.
Philippians 2: 3-4. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
If I put you higher than me and you put me higher than you then we will be equal! It does nothing for me to see others fail or not do good. It does not add anything to my success or stature. Bringing down others doesn’t lift me up any.
Some people’s whole outlook is trying to find something wrong with someone. They have looked for the wrong so long the good seems to be hid from them. It takes a trained eye to look for the good and be able to spot it. It might take a little practice before you’re able to see the good if you’ve always looked for the bad.
Little minded people major in the minor! They take some little insignificant point and blow it up into something that it is really not.
Some people are merely legends in their own minds. They have nominated themselves and voted for themselves but nobody else paid any attention. Their continual criticizing others is part of them trying to get attention even though they’re going about it the wrong way.
