Friday Five time again
Whew! What a week. Too many meetings, not much blogging. Turn around, and it's Friday Five Time yet again. This week's offerings:

1. What do you most want to be remembered for?
Wow. That's a tough one. Kind of reminds me of that thought experiment in Stephen Covey's 7 Habits book, where the reader is supposed to envision what people will say at the reader's funeral. So, I guess I would like to be most remembered for being a good and faithful husband, an example to others, and an ambassador for Christ in this world, in some way.

2. What quotation best fits your outlook on life?
"It is easier to beg forgiveness then to ask permission."

3. What single achievement are you most proud of in the past year?
The publication of my third book, Hooked on the Net.

4. What about the past ten years?
Becoming a published author, and saving a dying catalpa tree, transplanting it to our yard, and watching it grow into a beautiful, stately shade tree.

5. If you were asked to give a child a single piece of advice to guide them through life, what would you say?
To achieve greatness in life, serve others -- be a help to others.

Then I would quote Martin Luther King Jr.: "Everybody can be great...because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace, a soul generated by love."

And I would quote Jesus: "For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve..." (Mark 10:45)
