This is the beginning of a new day. God has given me this day to use as I will. I can waste it or use it for good.
What I do today is important as I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place I have traded for it.
I want it to be a gain, not loss.....good, not evil.
Success....not failure, in order that I shall not forget
the price I paid for it.".
