Happy birthday to racing legend and American icon A.J. Foyt!

I have worked in the Rescue Mission for two months, assisting momeless people in finding jobs.  And I’ve resumed studies in F.S.U. Panama City, taking three classes: Intercultural Communication, Research Methodology for Communication and Interviewing.  In the research methods class, I will likely think of my participation in the annual, nationwide homeless count January 28 & 29.  And I will think upon my life’s experiences in the intercultural communication class and the interviewing class.  The interviewing class will help me interview clients in the Rescue Mission and will help me all through a future career in professional communication.

Happy birthday to racing legend Carroll Shelby, born in 1923

from Saint Paul’s letter to the Galatians (chapter 6):

“And let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we do not lose heart.”

“for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.

Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.

Live with enthusiasm and empathy.

Make time to pray at least 10 minutes each day.

No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up. »→

Have a blessed new year!
