Changes....

As I face the week we return to school, and think about what the new year will bring, the word "CHANGE" keeps coming up. Today, I did a Google search and found some great quotes about this topic. I thought I would share some of these nuggets....

We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it. ~John Steinbeck, America and Americans

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. ~Harold Wilson

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it. ~Mary Engelbreit

Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him. ~Dwight D. Eisenhower

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Author unknown

If you want to truly understand something, try to change it. ~Kurt Lewin

After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over. ~Alfred Edward Perlman, New York Times, 3 July 1958

The only difference between a rut and a grave is their dimensions. ~Ellen Glasgow

Continuity gives us roots; change gives us branches, letting us stretch and grow and reach new heights. ~Pauline R. Kezer

That is neat that God spoke to you about how He wants more Godly men. I have 3 boys myself, I had my girl last. Doesn't mean I'm done! But I get it a lot from people. I know the bible says children are a blessing from the Lord so I try to remember that.
