After 30 years in business, an entrepreneur reveals 10 of the most important lessons he wishes he had learned earlier in life.
I started my business career 30 years ago. I would have never thought back then, when I kicked everything off, that I would work for a large corporation, start three companies and an angel investment fund, become a small business author, motivational speaker and consultant, be fired, kicked out by my partners, and go out of business more than once. It has been a crazy ride, but with age, and all those ups and downs, comes experience—and with experience comes a little bit of wisdom. Here are 10 lessons I wish I had learned before I was 40.

Introduction to the Celebration
Coming together week after week we can forget that we have each made a decision to follow Jesus and to make the growth of his kingdom our goal in life. But we get distracted, we lose focus, we get tired, and we even get lost from time to time. Now as we gather around the Lord at his table we ask the Lord to refocus us on what is truly important and to give us the food to sustain us on our pilgrimage of life.

Gospel Notes
This gospel is made up of several elements. The first element is the story of the Samaritan villagers who show hostility to this group of Galileans passing through their territory on the way to worship in Jerusalem. The very fact of passing through that area was tantamount to saying that the only place for ‘[true] Jews’ (because the Samaritans also claimed the name ‘Jew’) to worship is in the temple in Jerusalem, and implicitly to assert that their cult in their temple was a false one. Jesus, by rebuking the disciples who want to call in an air strike, shows himself to be living by his own command to love one’s enemies.

Remember everything God does is perfect. He is never wrong.”Often we complain about life and negative things that happen to us, forgetting that nothing is random and that everything has a purpose. Every morning, offer your day to God, don’t be in a rush.
Ask God to inspire your thoughts, guide your actions and ease your feelings. And do not be afraid. God is never wrong!You know why this message is for you? I do not know, but God knows, because he never makes mistakes…….
Diabetes: 5 Signs You Might Be at Risk
By Paula Spencer Scott,
Caring.com senior editor
Incredibly,
one in four Americans over age 20 has prediabetes -- and most don't even know
it. Being prediabetic means that your blood glucose levels are higher than
normal but short of being classified as diabetic levels. Studies show that most
people with prediabetes go on to develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years,
unless they lose weight and make dietary and exercise changes.
Because
prediabetes develops gradually over years, it's often said that there are no
obvious symptoms. But it's possible to notice certain warning signs of growing
insulin resistance, the inability to process the energy in food properly that's
a key aspect of prediabetes, says Beth Reardon,
director of nutrition for Duke Integrative Medicine at Duke University.
Paying
close attention to such warning signs gives you plenty of time to make changes
before the situation progresses to type 2 diabetes, she says.

We have gathered here as we call ourselves ‘Christians’ —
literally ‘followers of the Anointed One’. But what does it mean to follow the
Anointed One of God? Today we get a stark answer to that question: ‘If anyone
wants to be a follower of mine, let him renounce himself and take up his cross
every day and follow me.’ Let us begin our assembly by reflecting on how well
we follow him.

Father's Day Sermon-2
"The position and authority of the father as the head of the
family are expressly assumed and sanctioned in Scripture, as a likeness of that
of the Almighty over his creatures"

Four Fathers From The Bible
Enoch, a father who walked with God as a great man of Faith.Noah, who was concerned about saving his children, he taught them about righteousness. He also walked with God, leaving a great example to follow.
Abraham, who was given the title "Father of all of them that believe". He trained them as mentioned in Genesis 18:19.
Joshua, who trusted God when others would not. Joshua didn't care what other fathers were doing, he and his family were going to serve the Lord!

11 SUNDAY C - Woman in Simon's House - HOMILIES
Thomas O’Loughlin
Introduction to the Celebration
Today is one of the very few times in the year when the
actions of women towards Jesus are at the centre of our recollection. We recall
that Jesus was supported and helped by women in his work as he moved around
Palestine. We also recall the incident when an unnamed woman anointed his feet
with oil, kissed his feet, and wiped away her tears with her hair. Her sins
were forgiven because she had shown such love.
Now we are gathered at table with the Lord, let us pray that
our love will be such that our sins may be forgiven.

10 Sunday C - Raising Dead Man - Homilies
We see it every day on the news—the raw grief of a parent whose child
has died, perhaps in a drive-by shooting or while serving in Afghanistan.
Sometimes the tragedy is tied to an automobile accident. We hear of these
deaths so often that we become numb to the pain. Then comes something like the
shooting in Newton, Connecticut. Parents, friends and neighbors weep.

Today’s gospel
gives us the story of the raising of the son of the widow of Nain. A look at
the literary context of the 7th chapter of the Gospel of Luke will
help us to understand this episode. The evangelist wishes to show that Jesus
opens the way for us by showing us something of what is new about God as it
comes to us in the proclamation of the Good News. This is how
transformation and openness come about: Jesus listens to the prayer of a
foreigner, a non-Jew (Lk 7:1-10) and raises the son of a widow (Lk
7:11-17) The way in which Jesus reveals the Reign of God comes as a surprise to
the Jewish brethren who were not used to this kind of openness. It is a
surprise also to John the Baptist who sends messengers to ask, Are you the one
who is to come or are we to wait for another (Lk 7:18-30). Jesus mocks
the fickleness of his contemporaries: They are like children sitting in the
market-place and calling to one another, “We played the flute for you, and you
did not dance; we wailed, and you did not weep.”’(Lk 7:31-35). At the end we
see Jesus’ openness to women (Lk 7:36-50)
The 4 Smartest Things You Can Do Every Morning
Editor-in-Chief, GrowSmartBusiness
These down-to-earth tips will help get you going in the morning, and keep you productive all day.
Does this sound like you? You roll out of bed exhausted every morning. Your brain was going like gangbusters all night, keeping you awake with thoughts and plans about your business. Now you’re ready to execute—if you could just find the shirt you were planning to wear to that important client meeting. Where’s the address again? Uh-oh, your phone isn’t charged, so you go on the computer to look up the location. Next thing you know, you’re sucked into emails. You look up, still in your bathrobe, and an hour has passed. Where did the morning go? Now you’re going to be late—and your phone still isn’t charged.

For Kerala a Muslim man, a Catholic priest brings the gift of life
Shaju Philip : Thiruvananthapuram
Diagnosed with chronic kidney disease a year-and-a-half ago, 30-year-old
Rasad Muhammad's hope of living had sunk with each passing day as a donor
remained elusive. Until last month, when his saviour appeared suddenly — in the
form of a Christian priest he had never met before.
Father Kidangathazhe Sebastian, 41, will donate one of his kidneys to Rasad
so he can live. Preparations are under way, and the transplant surgery is likely
to be performed next month.
