I'm always looking for good stories, stories that grip one's heart, that lift one's spirit, that encourages one's thinking. Most of us are looking for interesting stories to illustrate our lessons or messages that we might be using. It is an ongoing process for those of us who are engaged in teaching or speaking. Not only do we enjoy hearing good stories, we enjoy telling them to others. http://www.marshallnewsmessenger.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2009/111909_web_editorial.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=9 http://www.marshallnewsmessenger.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2009/111909_web_editorial.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=9 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:16:15 EST OK, times are tough this year. They were tough at this time last year, too. We can only hope that they will be better at this time next year. At least there are a few encouraging signs. http://www.marshallnewsmessenger.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2009/111909_web_dillard.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=9 http://www.marshallnewsmessenger.com/news/content/news/opinion/stories/2009/111909_web_dillard.html?cxtype=rss&cxsvc=7&cxcat=9 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:15:45 EST One week from today will be Thanksgiving Day.
