It's never too late....Get up.... and run!
You never really lose until you quit trying. -Mike Ditka NFL Football Coach
When NFL running back Herschel Walker was in junior high school, he wanted to play football, but the coach told him he was too small. He advised young Herschel to go out for track instead. Undaunted by the lack of encouragement and support, he ignored the coach's advice and began an intensive training program to build himslef up. Only a few years later, herschel walker won the Heisman trophy
If we did all the things we were capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. -Thomas Edison
Eric Mohn has won numerous awards in local, national and even international art competitions for his water color paintings. Senator John Warner and Senator Robert Byrd of West Virgina are two people who have bought his paintings in recent years. Remarkably, mohn is paralyzed in all four limbs and paints with a brush held in his mouth. Another remarkable fact about his accomplishments is that Mohn never even pursued art as a hobby or career until 1977, 13 years after a car accident left him paralyzed from the chest down.
The human spirit cannot be paralyzed. if you are breathing, you can dream. -Mike Brown
Almost no one at 3M believed that the Post-it notes had a future, but Art Fry kept handing them out to people until they gave the product a chance. Even after the first marketing attempt failed, Art did not give up on the idea. He persisted until the idea became a colossal success.
In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity -Albert Einstein
Colonel Sanders had the construction of a new road put him out of business in 1967. he went to over 1,000 places trying to sell his chicken recipe before he found a buyer interested in his 11 herbs and spices.

And this is the boldness we have in God's presence: that if we ask God for anything that agrees with what He wants, He hears us. If we know He hears us every time we ask Him, we know we have what we ask from Him. 1 John 5:14,15
I hope you have a blessed week living in the presence of the Lord!
In His name and with His love, Kim Quile
