Do you ever feel like this?

The same thoughts pop into your head--over and over again..." I must do a will. I need to get that physical. I need do get in shape...etc."

The recurring thoughts are only a symptom of something more important than all of the collective thoughts you've ever had--YOU are NOT getting things done that need to be done.You make lists but so many items get carried forward or are forgotten.

"I often wondered if I had ADHD--attention deficit hyperactivity disorder"

Here's another problem...distractions. Here's what I mean...you're working on a project. All of a sudden, something pops into your head and you are off the project and onto this thing that surfaced...the project doesn't make it to completion and never sees the light of day...it too, get's on to that magical list of things to do...

All of this is insanity.

Two weeks ago, after I looked at the piles on my desk ( and Oh yeah, I knew what was in each pile and that's why they remained as piles--liar, liar) and decided to do some research on "getting organized." Actually, my search began on google with the search terms "Time Management."

I came upon a web site and a book written in 2005 by David Allen called "Getting Things Done." I write this today to those who suffer, as I have for so many years--and if you don't know about this book or it's methodology, do yourself a BIG favor and get the book.

Stephen Covey's The Seven Habits system is really good, but I must tell you Allen's system goes beyond it and helps you look at your philosophy of planning and doing.

One big thing it has done for me is to clear the mind-chatter and the mind-clutter.

Quiet is nice. Clarity is a great elixir.

Check out the info on this site. You can get the book on amazon, of course.

I just ran across this post. Pray for Denise and her husband and son. I am sure it is hard to understand why all of this happened as it did, But God is in control. If you can send whatever you can to help this family with medical expenses: medical account at the Community Bank of the South in Rockledge Florida. The phone number to the bank is 321-638-8939 and the address of the bank is 1902 Fiske Blvd. Rockledge Florida 32955

On January, 2010 the country of Haiti was totally devastated by a massive 7.0 earthquake. Prior to the earthquake it was estimated that 80% of the population lived in poverty. It is even worse now. 

Too soon we forget. The Haitian people still struggle.

I am hoping some will help. You are asked for money everyday, I know--but perhaps you can see your way clear to make a small sacrifice--when girl scouts come to the door selling their cookies, it isn't too hard to buy a box, is it?  It's the same thing here-- only we're talking about Rice for children and medical care and more.

Can you make a small sacrifice? Cost of a Starbucks maybe? or A Mac Big Breakfast? If you can, it will be so appreciated and every though you think it's not much-- little bit helps and you will be blessed!

Just write the check and send it on and thank you, if you do.

I'd like to introduce you to Pierre Perpignant, Director of Rice Smile Ministry. He has be serving the needs of Haitian children since 1995. Pierre is a product of 3 Haitian orphanages. He is intimately aware of the needs of children who have very similar backgrounds

As for Rice Smile, unlike large non-profit organizations, it does a world of good without a big budget. Pierre is hands-on and doesn't have a huge staff. Therefore the financial requirements of this ministry are small in comparison to other non-profit organizations who have to pay for large overheads. 

More of your money goes directly to providing for the needs of a small group of children who have a chance at a better life. Right now, it is reported that money is flowing into the country, but it doesn't get to all the places it's needed.                                                                                         

Pierres's immediate problem is providing rice to the children and reopening the school. All it takes is a little money!

 More Information

Brother Pierre is a minister associated with The Interfaith Baptist Convention. Rice Smile comes under the covering of Interfaith. I can vouch for his ministry. I am also associated with Interfaith as a minister and have been for 15 years. If you are so led, please send a donation to Rice Smile Ministry and send your donation to Interfaith Baptist Convention, 1605 Brroad Street, Lake Charles LA,70601

I got this in an email: This is so inspiring and touching, too.  This was at a Texas Tech Basketball game, February 9th. The National Anthem was sung by five young ladies (ages 6-8). You have never heard it performed better than this! Take a moment to listen to this. You'll get chills.

The two young ladies on the right are 6 years old. The two in the middle are 7 and the one on the left is 8
