| 90ceb4e | As we scatter kindness, we help to create a safe space where we can openly share the gospel with others. We get to see a life change right before our eyes. Not only the life of another. But our lives as well. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 613b934 | Even a fool when he holds his peace is considered wise; when he closes his lips he is esteemed a man of understanding" (Proverbs 17:28). Yes, sometimes the best thing to say is nothing at all. We" | Karen Ehman | ||
| 79abe9d | Un-soft answers only worsen the mama drama in my house. And they don't win many points with my coworkers or neighbors either. When we give an un-soft answer, we drizzle a little gasoline on the tiniest spark of a potential spat. It may combust and flare, setting off a big old blaze. However, | Karen Ehman | ||
| 2a61510 | Start dreaming. Pray hard. And if God is calling you, don't be afraid to take a step of faith. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 366f146 | There's so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it hardly becomes any of us, to talk about the rest of us. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 5f71c1e | May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer. (Psalm 19:14) | Karen Ehman | ||
| 93b67d7 | God knows we are limited by time and space; Jesus himself was. He didn't preach to everyone, heal everyone, comfort everyone, or even convert everyone. He simply showed up where God told him to go and did what God told him to do. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 843e3b2 | If you play the fool and exalt yourself, or if you plan evil, clap your hand over your mouth!" (30:32). Here it is, translated for social media: "If you are tempted to slam someone online or brag on Facebook or send off a nasty tweet, turn off the screen and walk away!" | Karen Ehman | ||
| 03cd879 | good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of" (Luke 6:45)." | Karen Ehman | ||
| 9e2a5cb | each word takes from my mind to my heart to my lips be guided by your hand. May what comes out be life-giving rather than causing death. May my words make you proud and bring you glory. In Jesus' name, Amen. * Louann Brizendine, The Female Brain (New York: Morgan Road Books, 2006), 4. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 2975c23 | Don't say something permanently painful just because you are temporarily ticked off. Will | Karen Ehman | ||
| fdc6f9c | The truth is, words are never accidental. To be sure, there are times we utter careless words, but even then those words are first formed in our minds, filtered to our hearts, and then given permission to come out of our lips. So in our quest to use our words in ways that are good and honor God, we must first consider the heart and mind from which they come. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 1715c97 | Lord, I give my mouth to you today. May what comes forth be sweet and not bitter. May the journey each word takes from my mind to my heart to my lips be guided by your hand. May what comes out be life-giving rather than causing death. May my words make you proud and bring you glory. In Jesus' name, Amen. | Karen Ehman | ||
| bca0993 | Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell" (James 3:5 - 6)." | Karen Ehman | ||
| c8595f1 | Our words are powerful, and they have consequences. Whether it is a string of words screamed out in anger during the height of a marital spat, or a politician who chooses to lie in order to win votes, or even just a middle schooler trying to impress a group of boys. Our words are powerful, and our words have consequences. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 823854f | In the afternoon we can't forget what God told us in the morning. | Karen Ehman | ||
| 5ff9e8c | In A Life That Says Welcome, Karen Ehman writes about offering hospitality, not entertainment. She says: Entertaining puts the emphasis on you and how you can impress others. Offering hospitality puts the emphasis on others and strives to meet their physical and spiritual needs so that they feel refreshed, not impressed, when they leave your home. | Melanie Dale | ||
| 8ca1ec2 | Browsing the OED is the idea of a perfect day for me. | Anu Garg | ||
| ddf8b01 | As the media theorist Marshall McLuhan pointed out in the 1960s, media are not just passive channels of information. They supply the stuff of thought, but they also shape the process of thought. And what the Net seems to be doing is chipping away my capacity for concentration and contemplation. My mind now expects to take in information the way the Net distributes it: in a swiftly moving stream of particles. Once I was a scuba diver in the .. | Nicholas Carr | ||
| 054fdf7 | Arquimedes dijo una vez: <> Hoy en dia, habria senalado nuestros medios de comunicacion electronicos y habria dicho: <>. Pero una vez que hemos entregado nuestros sentidos y nuestros sistemas nerviosos a las manipulaciones de quienes tratan de sacar provecho aniquilando nuestros ojos, oidos, nervios y cerebro, el resultado sera que ya no tendremos derechos. | Marshall McLuhan | ||
| d79ad61 | Although a youth culture was in evidence by the 1950s, the first obvious and dramatic manifestation of a culture generated by peer-orientation was the hippie counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s. The Canadian media theorist Marshall McLuhan called it "the new tribalism of the Electric Age." Hair and dress and music played a significant part in shaping this culture, but what defined it more than anything was its glorification of the peer at.. | Gabor Maté | ||
| 8ab1930 | Marshall McLuhan was right when he said that television has made a global village of the world--but he didn't know the global village would be Beirut. | Joseph Campbell | ||
| 9e39985 | That outering or uttering of sense which is language and speech is a tool which "made it possible for man to accumulate experience and knowledge in a form that made easy transmission and maximum use possible." | Marshall McLuhan | ||
| 4b1a632 | Television completes the cycle of the human sensorium. With the omnipresent ear and the moving eye, we have abolished writing, the specialized acoustic-visual metaphor that established the dynamics of Western civilization. | Marshall McLuhan | ||
| 2a48839 | The Newtonian God--the God who made a clock-like universe, wound it, and withdrew--died a long time ago. This is what Nietzsche meant and this is the God who is being observed. | Marshall McLuhan | ||
| fbf7794 | No se puede vivir en un mundo interior del circuito electrico y mantener la letra escrita. La electricidad destruye la individualidad. (...) El individuo privado no se siente comodo en condiciones electricas. Esta demasiado cercano a los demas individuos y pierde su identidad. Es un hombre en la multitud, no es nadie, y debe luchar para demostrar que es alguien. Por tanto, a mas electricidad mayor violencia. La gente no lucha porque odie a .. | Marshall McLuhan | ||
| cbe1135 | Early twentieth-century English writers Hilaire Belloc and G. K. Chesterton--and, later, a young Marshall McLuhan--saw in distributism a definitive answer to the failures of both capitalism and state socialism.6, 7, 8 They looked to that same brief moment in the late Middle Ages we've been exploring, when the market was in ascendance and former peasants were making and trading things, as the best example of the ideal economic system. Wealth.. | Douglas Rushkoff | ||
| d241c65 | Plus, as I've said, if you don't want to work weekends, you shouldn't be in retail. But | Sam Walton | ||
| d526f94 | A little later on, Phil ran what became one of the most famous item promotions in our history. We sent him down to open store number 52 in Hot Springs, Arkansas--the first store we ever opened in a town that already had a Kmart. Phil got there and decided Kmart had been getting away with some pretty high prices in the absence of any discounting competition. So he worked up a detergent promotion that turned into the world's largest display e.. | Sam Walton | ||
| 08cc942 | Bannon thrived on the chaos he created and did everything he could to make it spread. When he finally made his way through the crowd to the back of the town house, he put on a headset to join the broadcast of the Breitbart radio show already in progress. It was his way of bringing tens of thousands of listeners into the inner sanctum of the "Breitbart Embassy," as the town house was ironically known, and thereby conscripting them into a lar.. | Joshua Green | ||
| ceae608 | Many years ago I was jumped one evening while walking past a local bar. The unprovoked attack left me requiring surgery and many hospital visits. The incident also had significant psychological ramifications. Instead of accepting the unfortunate event and moving on I spent a long time turning my frustration inwards. For months I blamed myself for that night and this lead to a period of depression that I now see as probably the low point o.. | Phil Pierce | ||
| 59994ee | even supposing knowledge to be easily attainable, more people would be content to be ignorant than would take even a little trouble to acquire it. | Phil Town | ||
| 0ebe069 | There are only two rules of investing: Rule #1: Don't lose money...and Rule #2: Don't forget Rule #1. | Phil Town | ||
| 0339e48 | I loved the moment on long rides when I was tired and sore, 50 miles from town, and all I could do was keep pushing, left foot, right foot, with the faith that it would take me home. | Gaimon Phil | ||
| 7bbcf6b | Phil and Miss Kay have left a legacy of love for their children and grandchildren. They've been teaching us their whole lives what Christ has taught them about love, sacrifice, forgiveness, and grace. We want to carry on the Robertson legacy with our old and new friends, including those who know us from the television show. It's a little scary to know we're being watched, but we look at it as a privilege to be able to show who we are and ho.. | Jep Robertson | ||
| f172e9d | The first one is could a Wal-Mart-type story still occur in this day and age? My answer is of course it could happen again. Somewhere out there right now there's someone--probably hundreds of thousands of someones--with good enough ideas to go all the way. It will be done again, over and over, providing that someone wants it badly enough to do what it takes to get there. It's all a matter of attitude and the capacity to constantly study and.. | Sam Walton | ||
| 1c1cd36 | the best defense was a good lock or a mean dog. Or both. | Michael Connelly | ||
| b2476d8 | I remember him saying over and over again: go in and check our competition. Check everyone who is our competition. And don't look for the bad. Look for the good. If you get one good idea, that's one more than you went into the store with, and we must try to incorporate it into our company. We're really not concerned with what they're doing wrong, we're concerned with what they're doing right, and everyone is doing something right. | Sam Walton | ||
| fc00eaf | I do admit to worrying sometimes about future generations of the Waltons. I know it's unrealistic of me to expect them all to get up and throw paper routes, and I know it's something I can't control. But I'd hate to see any descendants of mine fall into the category of what I'd call "idle rich"--a group I've never had much use for. I really hope that somehow the values both Helen and I, and our kids, have always embraced can be passed on do.. | Sam Walton | ||
| 58ccb9d | I learned early on that one of the secrets to campus leadership was the simplest thing of all: speak to people coming down the sidewalk before they speak to you. | Sam Walton | ||
| 5c1fa6f | I don't subscribe much to any of these fancy investing theories, and most people seem surprised to learn that I've never done much investing in anything except Wal-Mart. I believe the folks who've done the best with Wal-Mart stock are those who have studied the company, who have understood our strengths and our management approach, and who, like me, have just decided to invest with us for the long run. We | Sam Walton | ||
| c74f776 | As companies get larger, with a broader following of investors, it becomes awfully tempting to get into that jet and go up to Detroit or Chicago or New York and speak to the bankers and the people who own your stock. But since we got our stock jump-started in the beginning, I feel like our time is better spent with our own people in the stores, rather than off selling the company to outsiders. I don't think any amount of public relations ex.. | Sam Walton | ||
| fd4f777 | Actually, during this whole early period, Wal-Mart was too small and insignificant for any of the big boys to notice, and most of the promoters weren't out in our area so we weren't competitive. That helped me get access to a lot of information about how they were doing things. I probably visited more headquarters offices of more discounters than anybody else--ever. I would just show up and say, "Hi, I'm Sam Walton from Bentonville, Arkansa.. | Sam Walton | ||
| e249936 | I was executive vice president of the discounters' trade association, working in my New York office one day in 1967. My secretary said there was a man out front who wanted to join our group. I said I would give him ten minutes. So in comes this short, wiry man with a deep tan and a tennis racket under his arm. He introduced himself as Sam Walton from Arkansas. I didn't know what to think. When he meets you, he looks at you--head cocked to o.. | Sam Walton |
