~~Room In The Bank~~
Is your life full and busy? Perhaps, too busy? Sometimes we fill our
lives so full we don't have time for the important things. At such
times I remember a story about a young girl and her bank.
The little girl's father had just given her a silver dollar to put
into her bank. She excitedly ran off to her room to "deposit" the
coin. However, in a few minutes she returned and handed the silver
coin back to her father.
"Daddy," she said sadly, "here's your dollar back. I can't get it
into my bank."
"Why not?" her concerned father asked.
"It's too full," she said, obviously disappointed.
Her father accompanied her back to her room and, sure enough, her bank
was too full to accept even one more coin. It was filled with pennies!
Sometimes our lives are like that bank. So full of errands,
obligations and activities that neither nurture us nor help anyone
else, that there simply is no room left for what is truly important --
the silver dollars.
Grenville Kleiser has said, "To live at this time is an inestimable
privilege, and a sacred obligation devolves upon you to make right use
of your opportunities. Today is the day in which to attempt and
achieve something worthwhile."
Have you made room for any large coins in your bank; for those things
you believe to be worthwhile? If not, you may have to remove a few
pennies, but I suspect you will never know they are gone!

~~Inspiring Music~~
A minister was preoccupied with thoughts of how he was going to ask the
congregation to come up with more money than they were expecting for
repairs to the church building.
Therefore, he was annoyed to find that the regular organist was sick and
a substitute had been brought in at the last minute. The substitute
wanted to know what to play. "Here's a copy of the service," he said
impatiently.
"But you'll have to think of something to play after I make the
announcement about the finances."
During the service, the minister paused and said, "Brothers and Sisters,
we are in great difficulty; the roof repairs cost twice as much as we
expected, and we need $4,000 more. Any of you who can pledge $100 or
more, please stand up."
At that moment, the substitute organist played, "The Star Spangled
Banner."
