“Wood heat is not new. It dates back to a day millions of years ago, when a group of cavemen were sitting around, watching dinosaurs rot. Suddenly, lightning struck a nearby log and set it on fire. One of the cavemen stared at the fire for a few minutes, then said: Hey! Wood heat! The other cavemen, who did not understand English, immediately beat him to death with stones. But the key discovery had been made, and from that day forward, the cavemen had all the heat they needed, although their insurance rates went way up.” WayYearsMadeSaidMillionsFireGroupsMinutesKeysNeededBeatsHumorousSittingDiscoveryYears AgoStonesRateWoodsHeyHeatLightningDinosaursSitting AroundCavemenInsurance Rate Author:Dave Barry

“A hundred years ago-even 20 or 30 years ago-it was possible, if not always easy, to close major business by calling on and satisfying a key decision-maker. Today, every piece of business entails multiple decisions, and those decisions are virtually never made by the same person. Not only do you have to contend with multiple decisions, but the people who make those decisions may not even work in the same place.” PeopleIfsYearsMayPersonsMadeTodayEasyDecisionPiecesKeysCallingMajorsHundredYears AgoMakersSatisfyingMultipleDecision Makers Author:Brian Tracy
“Fifteen years ago, God unequivocally and undeniably gave me Isaiah 22:22 as a life-verse. "Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will shut, when he shuts no one will open." After 40 plus confirmations over a two-week period - yes, more than 40 - I became thoroughly convinced this verse was both a promise and a weapon for me. I have since used the verse hundreds of times throughout America - in all 50 states and in Washington DC - to open and close spiritual doors for the Lord.” YearsTwoStatesAmericaSpiritualUsedHouseLordDoorsWeekKeysPeriodsPromiseWeaponsYears AgoConvincedShouldersPlusVersesFifteenTwo WeeksConfirmationFifteen YearsWashington Dc Author:Dutch Sheets
