The Great Exchange!
We consummated the business deal we'd been working on for months. Both parties finally agreed on a price where we were comfortable. Business deals must be equitable or there could be no commerce.

Freedom of the Sky
We boarded the plane on the third call, the stewardesses closed the doors, did their act, and the captain announced, "We have been cleared for departure".
Thirty seconds after leaving the ground we were solid in the clouds. I was looking forward to breaking out into the sunshine at 25,000 and stretching my eyes by staring out at the white forever. We had been in New York for four days and I was ready for a change of scenery.

What is important?
An experience from my working years....
By 7 AM each morning I try to be in the shower, to get to work by 7:30 +/-. As a general rule I'm up 2 to 3 hours before this, when I can do some Bible reading, pray some, decide on the important things for the day, and get some work done that I cannot do during the press of daily activities. This is my most productive time of the day and I try not to use it for busy work.

Running out of Sunsets
Baxter Black is a DVM in the Southwest that has turned from veterinarian to self-styled poet and philosopher. I recently listened to one of his poems describing an old cowboy that had lived an illustrative life but now he was 'running out of sunsets'.
