Recognizing What Time It Is

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 23, 2009

There is nothing so fulfilling as good timing, nothing so embarassing as bad timing. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was wonderful for some, judgment time for others. What time is it for us? (MLK assassination anniversary)

There is nothing quite so fulfilling as good timing. And nothing quite so embarrassing as bad timing. They say that the secret in being a comedian is good timing.

The Road To Happiness, Joy And Peace

Why Eagles Fly And Chickens Flutter

Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 28, 2023
