Look!
October 15th, 2011
Last night, I was fortunate in getting to attend Waco’s Prosperity Dinner on the Suspension Bridge as the guest of a good friend. There were a few folks who thought the dinner was inappropriate due to the fact that so many of us are going thru such hard times & then there were a few folks, including me, who thought it was very appropriate, because especially in these hard times, we need to LOOK FOR THE GOOD!!! It’s out there – there’s much good in the world around us right here in Waco. Plus, the dinner reminds us to MAKE GOOD for the benefit of all of us, especially our children & their children. The dinner mirrored Waco’s original Prosperity Dinner 100 yrs ago when 4,000 folks gathered downtown for a seated dinner to celebrate. Last night, we not only celebrated where we’ve been & the folks who brought us to this point… we began to dream about what Waco & her people can be & that’s not only reasurring… it’s down right exciting!!! We will ‘Rise Up’ and be part of the solution to the hard times & part of the creation of the good times, which are surely to come to those who LOOK FOR WAYS TO MAKE GOOD!!!
