BEGINNING WITH HIM - MARCH, 2009
A note from doug:
From time to time, at the beginning of the month, I like to send out a
compilation message of various items I've accumulated over time.

"It's good to have money and the things money can buy, but it's good too, to
check up once in a while and make sure that you haven't lost the things
money can't buy."
-- George Horace Lorimer

GETTING A HANDLE ON GOD'S WORD
Over time you will learn that there are a variety of "delivery systems" for
God's Word. At times you will simply HEAR the Word as someone like your
pastor speaks on Sunday. At times you might READ through large sections of
the Bible as you would an exciting novel. As you begin to grow you will
probably find yourself wanting to understand the Bible at a more significant
level, so you will begin to STUDY it like a textbook. Your study might
become so exciting that you find a verse or passage that you want to
MEMORIZE...When God begins to speak to you through the Bible you will find
yourself stopping to contemplate and reflect on what you are hearing. This
is the practice of biblical MEDITATION. These five delivery systems will
help get a handle on God's Word.

RESENTMENT
"Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die."

10 RULES TO POST ON THE FRIDGE
There are some important things that your teachers didn't teach you in
kindergarten, and that you didn't learn anywhere in school. Following
are 10 essential rules of life:
RULE 1: Life is not fair; get used to it.
RULE 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect
you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
RULE 3: You will not make $40,000 a year right out of high school. And you
won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
RULE 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. She
doesn't have tenure.
RULE 5: Flipping burgers is NOT beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had
a different word for burger flipping; they called it opportunity.
RULE 6: If you screw up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about
your mistakes. Learn from them.
RULE 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are
now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes, and
listening you talk about how cool you are. So before you save the rain
forest from the blood-sucking parasites of your parents'
generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
RULE 8: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off, and
very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on
your own time.
RULE 9: Television is not real life. In real life people actually have to
leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
RULE 10: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

A ROUND TUIT
This is a Tuit. Guard
it with your life as Tuits
are hard to come by, especially
the round ones. This is an indispen-
sable item. It will help you become
a more efficient worker. For years we
have heard people say, "I'll do it as
soon as I get a Round Tuit." Now
that you have one, you can ac-
complish all those things
you put aside until
you got a Round
Tuit!

THE REWARD WHEN YOU FORWARD E-MAIL MINISTRY MESSAGES:
As always, I encourage you to forward the E-Mail Ministry messages to
family, friends, work associates, etc. Here is a reply from Darlene that
shows the purpose of this ministry. "Douglas, just wanted you to know how
much I enjoy this site. Some days it just makes my whole day. I work two
jobs, one part time and one full time. It's just like a breath of fresh air
to receive my mail from this site. God bless you, and keep up the good work.
ps- I've been sharing a lot of the stuff with my co-workers that aren't
exactly what you would call practicing Christians. I really think something
is going on....people that have not gone to church in years are asking me
questions and even going to church some.....thanks again...Darlene"
You can make a difference in someone's life. Follow God's lead on who you
should send the messages to!

THANK YOU
The past month has been a very difficult one for me personally - my prayer
is the new month will be better.
Working on E-Mail Ministry not only ministers to you (I hope) but also
ministers to me. And your notes to me also are very helpful.
I would like to thank all of you for allowing me to perform this ministry.
I have enjoyed it greatly. I pray that you, and your loved ones, will
continue to enjoy it.
God Bless All of You!
Have a blessed day!
