The Bad Egg

Welcome to 2010! It seems like yesterday we were ringing in the new millennium!
I was listening to my talk radio on the way to work this morning when I heard something that I hope will stick with me a long time. A guy said (and he was quoting someone else), "Farmers don't put good eggs under dead chickens, and neither does God." Sit back and let that soak in for a moment. "Farmers don't put good eggs under dead chickens, and neither does God." When you think about this you really see the logic, the power, and the truth in this statement. For every good egg a farmer puts under a dead chicken, you get a bad egg. If God put good eggs under lazy people with bad attitudes, we would seldom if ever have anything positive around us. I truly believe that God always chooses those of us that have the drive and passion to be our best to give the eggs. Notice I did not include knowledge in that list. I believe that those of us that have passion, drive and a good attitude will find knowledge. When we combine the passion with knowledge that is when the eggs hatch and the great ones rise to the top. The statement "Farmers don't put good eggs under dead chickens, and neither does God" will be my theme for 2010... and beyond. I hope for all of you it will play a role, and you will allow the good talents and qualities God has blessed you with to come to fruition. Follow your passion, crave knowledge, and you will be well on your way to never having "Too Much Month."

Thanks
