Friends, When I heard the speaker of the house Mike Johnson had suggested the president of Colombia resign, I thought to myself, now that's something we can all agree on. That scoundrel, charlatan and criminal Petro should resign. Then it hit me. Wait... he said Columbia, not Colombia. What a difference a letter makes... darn homophones! It's like when you hear someone say "donut, come near me" but they actually said "do not come near me". One second you're on top of the world and the next you're crashing down looking for a soft spot to land. Speaking of which, I found this comic online and couldn't resist sharing. Happy Friday!
Friends, Picture a large cottonwood tree, its two foot thick trunk sharpened like a pencil by an eager beaver. Imagine all the hours spent gnawing away around the base to fell the timber. The anticipation of a new dam running through the critter’s head. Suddenly a large creaking noise signals the venerable tree’s impending fall… in the wrong direction! All that work for naught. Helpless to change the outcome, the rodent gets out of the way and watches the spectacle. As the dust settles, the hard learned lesson will not soon be forgotten: effort does not guarantee results. So, as you get ready to plunge into the day’s work and finish the week strong, grab a donut and make sure your effort is pushing you in the right direction. Happy Friday!
