Guest Columnist Bruce Urich

Dear Family and Friends,

My blogs are meant to encourage and to inspire you! If they don't, what is lacking in YOU that stops them from encouraging and inspiring you?
Here are some possibilities (with answers):

1. You have allowed yourself to become old and embittered. You can find hope in the Lord!
2. You are cynical. You can find hope in the Lord!
3. You feel that there is no hope for your life. You can find hope in the Lord!
4. You feel that I am only bragging! Guilty on all counts, now find something or make something to brag about!
5. "I just don't feel well!" Please study carefully the material that I sent to you on a total health plan and two "simple" ideas that will revolutionize your health. If you need them again, I am glad to resend them!

Almost all of you are younger than I am at 78 3/4, even if only by a few months and I am continually adding new things to my life. There is no reason not to have hope in the Lord and to start over!!!!
Below is a 1981 song that I heard about from Daryl Owens of "The Orlando Sentinel." It sums up what many have lacking in their lives--they are only working for the weekend, not enjoying today!!!

I really encourage you to figure out what is lacking in YOU that you are not encouraged and inspired by my blogs--then write and tell me!!!

"Working for the Weekend" 1981

Everyone's watching, to see what you will do
Everyone's looking at you, oh
Everyone's wondering, will you come out tonight
Everyone's trying to get it right, get it right

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

Everyone's looking to see if it was you
Everyone wants you to come through
Everyone's hoping it'll all work out
Everyone's waiting they're holding out

Everybody's working for the weekend
Everybody wants a little romance
Everybody's goin' off the deep end
Everybody needs a second chance, oh
You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

(quick break)

You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go

You want a piece of my heart
You better start from start
You wanna be in the show
Come on baby lets go
