SACRIFICE
Man looks on the outside
You look on the heart
That's where my worship has to start
Words fall short to tell You
Yearnings that I feel
I want to worship You for real
For real
To truly live for You
To truly seek Your face
To turn my heart towards You
A thousand times a day
For all eternity
With every breath I take
I want my life to be
A sacrifice of praise
A sacrifice of praise to You

PSALM 23
The lord is my programmer; I shall not crash.
He installed his software on the hard disk of my heart;
all of his commands are user-friendly.
His directory guides me to the right choices for his name's sake.
Even though I scroll through the problems of life,
I will fear no bugs, for He is my backup.
His password protects me.
He prepares a menu before me in the presence of my enemies.
His help is only a keystroke away.
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
and my file will be merged with his and saved forever.
Amen. (unknown)
It's never too Late
Robert Lopatin thought it was too late. As a boy, he had dreamed
of becoming a doctor. But when he went to college, he gave up the
idea. Instead, he went into the family business of manufacturing
women's clothing. He stayed there for twenty-seven years! Then he
and his father sold their business. If he wished, he could retire.
But then, at a friend's wedding, he sat next to a young man who
had just finished medical school. Chatting with the new doctor made
him think about his boyhood dream. And at age fifty-one, Robert
Lopatin decide to become a doctor.
Today he is fifty-five. He graduated from the Albert Einstein
College of Medicine and is currently serving his residency at
Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, New York. And he's loving
it-even the one-hundred hour workweeks and the graveyard shifts.
"I feel like I died and was born again," he says.
You may have your dream in your heart that you think is too old
to pursue. Another person may have told you that is's too late to do
what you desire. But it's not. Writer Joseph Conrad published his
first novel at age forty. Robert Lopatin will be in his late fifties
when he begins to practice medicine as a full-fledge doctor. Artist
Grandma Moses started painting when she was seventy-five years
old-and she still had a twenty-six-year career. Pursue your dream,
no matter how farfetched it may seem (From: Success-One day at a
time by John C. Maxwell)
