WELCOME TO THE SHOW!
I've got to get another alarm clock. Three times this month I've arrived to work on time.
BIBLE VERSE OF THE DAY
Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be completely lighted, as when the light of a lamp shines on you. --Luke 11:34-36
I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. HYPERLINK "http://www.biblestudytools.com/search/?query=Philippians+3:14&t=niv"Philippians 3:14
HEARTLIGHT DAILY VERSE, PRAYER & THOUGHT
Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these?" For it is not wise to ask such questions. HYPERLINK "http://bible.faithlife.com/bible/niv/Ecclesiastes7.10"Ecclesiastes 7:10
Thought: The only thing we get by spending our time looking in the rear view mirror is a big disaster in our front windshield! Our best days as Christians are always ahead. Jesus has promised to return and take us home to God what better future could there be. So let's not get distracted with nostalgic cynicism. We can thank God for his past blessings, but let's not waste the present with pessimism. Let's make a commitment to redeem our time and trust that the same God who raised Jesus from the dead also holds our future in his hands.
Prayer: Holy God, give me a sense of purpose in each day that you give me life and give me an optimistic outlook on the future and on my Lord who will meet me there. Please help me have a sense of genuine joy knowing that no matter where the road leads me today, I will journey with you. In Jesus' name I thank you for being my loving God and eternal Father. Amen.
The Thoughts and Prayers for Today's Verse are written by HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@heartlight.org"Phil Ware. You can email questions or comments to HYPERLINK "mailto:phil@heartlight.org"phil@heartlight.org.

Today is CONTRAST DAY, a day to appreciate music by playing Vivaldi, Bo Diddley, Johann Sebastian Bach, Kanye West, Natalie Grant, and Megadeath. ***MARLAR: Of course, we wouldn't have any listeners left if we did that... so forget I said anything.

SECRETS OF THE UNIVERSE
Why do we say that an annoying person who won't let up is nagging?
If you're trying to figure out if there's some connection between horses and being annoyed, or if you think you're being set up for a pun involving some nag, fuhgedaboutit. I wouldn't saddle you with such a thing. The only way a horse gets into this is if he or she has sharp teeth. Nag comes from a Scandinavian or Low German word, nagga or gnaggen, to gnaw or chew. You may pick up the connection if you think of a nag as someone characterized by oral aggression, someone who has his or her teeth sunk into you and won't let go. Nag, nag, and nag. Or think of it this way. You answer, "He/she is nagging me" to the question, "What's eating you?" (Edited from Tricky Trivia)

NEW NEWS KICKERS
There is probably nothing more fun than making a baby or toddler laugh. And now theres news that it could even help with learning the toddlers that is, not the adults. Researchers in France think laughing might be a stimulant of learning. ***But you still wont learn anything at a Dane Cook concert, because hes not funny.
For many people, a wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so its only natural to want it to be something truly memorable. A new business in Japan will come to your wedding reception with a huge, freshly caught tuna and proceed to cut it apart in front of everyone. The bride and groom get to make the first cut, then the fish is cut into small pieces for guests. *** Gee,Ill bet the phones are ringing off the hook for this company. I cant think of anything more romantic than raw fish smell at a wedding.
A new report shows that login credentials for nearly every federal agency have been posted on open Internet sites for those who know where to look. *** Fortunately, we dont have to worry about the site Healthcare.gov, because no one has yet to figure out how to login there.
A new study finds that men think they're better at math than they actually are. *** Heres an indicator: ifyou have to take off your shoes and socks to count toten, youre not so great at math.
NEWS KICKER EVERGREENS
A new survey discovered that a quarter of us would turn off our TV for an entire month if it meant having no bills for that month. ***MARLAR: Well, I guess that would eliminate the need to even have a Comcast or Netflix bill right there, wouldn't it?
If your toothbrush fell in the toilet, would you throw it away or rinse it off and continue using it? Well, get this, 9% of men said they would fish the toothbrush out of the toilet and use it again, according to a survey by dental products manufacturer Philips Sonicare. In addition, almost half of all adults said that if their toothbrush fell on the floor, they would use it again -- even though they acknowledged that their bathroom floor is the dirtiest floor in the house. ***MARLAR: That all sounds gross, but if you think about it isnt toothpaste nothing more than soap in a tube for your teeth? If so, youre washing it every time you use your toothbrush anywhere regardless of where it was eight seconds earlier.
One hateful Facebook comment might reduce you to tears, but a recent study found that the "likes" you get might also have a negative impact, especially on your waistline and pocketbook. Researchers (Columbia Business School professor Keith Wilcox and University of Pittsburgh business professor Andrew Stephen) studied people who use Facebook and found that the more likes and self-affirming comments they got, the more likely they were to reach for a cookie over a granola bar. ***MARLAR: Well duh we're celebrating people liking our comments!
Apparently were looking for just about any excuse we can find to say that being fat isnt our own fault. Now its Moms fault because she had a job. Childhood obesity has been steadily rising the past 30 years, and this new study from American University in Washington, D.C. has found that a childs weight may depend on how much their mothers were away at work while growing up. The research team studied body mass index (BMI) data & found that the total number of years that mothers were employed away from home had a cumulative influence on their childrens rising BMI. Over time, a higher than average BMI can lead to obesity in adulthood. ***MARLAR: Seriously? So Im a big fat slob because my mother decided to get a job to provide for the family? If she hadnt, what then? Wed have less food, and again itd be Moms fault that Im malnourished. Sorry, Mom you lose either way.

MOMENT OF DUH
In todays Moment of Duh, YOU get to decided who the true inDUHvidual is!
Today's Moment of Duh leaves us with a decision to make. Who is the true inDUHvidual here, the stupid criminal, or the shopkeeper that let him get away? The owner of a convenience store in Des Moines, Iowa, says he opened his store recently and found a man sleeping on the floor who claimed he had been locked inside all night by mistake. The man that was locked in then gave the shopkeeper 20 bucks for the stuff he ate and drank during the night, and left. That's when the store owner discovered that the guy paid him with some of the money he had robbed from the safe.

THE FILES OF LAW & DISORDER
Does the end of your marriage mean the end of your enjoyment of life? Not according to one man!
FILE #1: Is there life after divorce? There is if you ask a 37-year-old Italian man... and life comes in the form of bank robberies... a lot of them! This man, who's name has not yet been released, admits to robbing 21 banks in ten months simply because he was bored after his wife divorced him. He even robbed two banks in the span of 40-minutes with a toy gun - when he finally got caught. "I found out that robbing banks really gave me thrills and peace of mind," he said.
FILE #2: Firemen in Munich, Germany, rescued an 89-year-old granny who was stuck in a tree more than 60 feet above the ground. Anna Gurlow said she had climbed her neighbor's tree to rescue her cat, but the tricky feline got away from her and jumped safely to a nearby roof. It took firemen nearly an hour to get the grandmother out of the tree.
FILE #3: 16 year old Nicole Lavelle is quickly learning the ins and outs of the British court system. According to the Guardian newspaper, she has taken her father to court for breach of contract. The girl charges that he had promised to pay up to about $20,000 a year for her to go to the exclusive college of her choosing and when she opted to go to a cheaper school he balked. Why? Because the college is very close to the home of the girl's mother -- his ex wife. ***MARLAR: Sounds like Nicole could be in pre-law.
STRANGE LAW: It's a crime in Zion, Illinois to offer a cigar to a dog, cat, or any pet.
THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS
Not only do people not run well on alcohol... neither do they run well on lawnmowers while intoxicated.
A Florida man was recently cited for driving under the influence. However, it wasnt his car that he was driving, it was his lawnmower! 38 year old Ronald Biggs was driving his brand new 14 HP Cub Cadet lawn mower along the road after having too much to drink, and he crashed into a parked vehicle, a 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse. He was charged as a motorist and cited for hit and run, drunken driving, driving without a license, improper registration, no insurance and failure to maintain control. However, he is looking for leniency since he mowed some of the weeds on the side of the road.

THE WAY TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING TO UNDERSTAND THE PUNCHLINE EVEN AFTER TWO CUPS OF COFFEE JOKE OF THE DAY
JOKE #1
When I lived in a dorm, one of the favorite intramural sports was water fights. Dousing and bombarding one another with water from squirt guns, glasses, balloons, even wastebaskets. Since each room had a sink, there was endless ammunition.The most frequent target was the Resident Assistant.Approaching his room one afternoon, he noticed his door was ajar. Looking up, he saw a pail of water balanced on the door's edge, ready to fall on him. As he took down the pail and emptied it into his sink, he thought, "Those crazy guys actually thought they could fool me with that old gag!"It was then he realized we'd removed the drainpipe beneath the sink.
JOKE #2
While attending a convention, three psychiatrists take a walk.
"People are always coming to us with their guilt and fears," one says, "but we have no one to go to with our own problems."
"Since we're all professionals," another suggests, "why don't we hear each other out right now?"
They agreed this is a good idea. The first psychiatrist confesses, "I'm a compulsive shopper and deeply in debt, so I usually overbill my patients as often as I can."
The second admits, "I have a drug problem that's out of control, and I frequently pressure my patients into buying illegal drugs for me."
The third psychiatrist says, "I know it's wrong, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't keep a secret."
JOKE #3
There's this guy who shows up at a cabin where these hunters have gathered to hunt bear. Only he shows up without a gun.
The other hunters are very curious. "How you gonna get a bear without a gun?" they ask.
"Do you have a knife?"
"No," says the guy.
"Do you have a club?"
"No," says the guy.
"Don't you worry. I'm gonna get myself a bear. Just wait right here and see."
The guy leaves the cabin and disappears into the hills for several hours.
Eventually he happens upon a bear asleep in his den and he kicks the bear and gets it really angry. As the bear wakes up, he starts to chase after the guy, so the guy starts running back towards the cabin.
Finally the hunters hear him running down the hill and yelling, "Open the cabin door! Open the door!"
They open the door and the guy runs into the cabin and holds the door open behind him. To the terror of the other hunters, an angry bear follows close behind, running into the cabin, too.
Then the guy slams the door shut, and says, "You skin that one. I'll go get another."
USELESS FACTS
In Hugo, Oklahoma, the mother of a teenage girl involved in an argument at a school track meet tried to shoot the mother of the other girl involved in the dispute, instead wounding a bystander. Police disarmed and arrested Sonya Bostic, 33, while the bystander was taken to the hospital. ***MARLAR: They're now considering a 30-day waiting period on all PTA meetings.
Surveys show that one in four Americans -- that's 70 million people -- aren't getting enough sleep. ***MARLAR: But then, thats what The John Tesh Radio Show is for.
FEATURED FUNNIES
ROAD TRIP
One afternoon, this guy drives down a highway to visit a nearby lake and relax. On his way to the lake, a guy dressed from head to toe in red standing on the side of the highway gestures for him to stop. The guy rolls down the window and says, "How can I help you?" "I am the red jerk of the highway. You got something to eat?" With a smile on his face, the guy hands a sandwich to the guy in red and drives away. Not even five minutes later, he comes across another guy. This guy is dressed fully in yellow, standing on the side of the road and waving for him to stop. A bit irritated, our guy stops, cranks down the window, and says, "What can I do for you?" "I am the yellow jerk of the highway. You got something to drink?" Hardly managing to smile this time, he hands the guy a can of Coke and stomps on the pedal and takes off again. In order to make it to the lakeside before sunset, he decides to go faster and not to stop no matter what. To his frustration, he sees another guy on the side of the road, this one dressed in blue and signaling for him to stop. Reluctantly, our guy decides to stop one last time. He rolls down his window, and yells, "Let me guess. You're the blue jerk of the highway, and just what do you wanna have?" "Driver's license and registration, please."

INSPIRATIONAL INSPIRATION
FREE
On his way to church, a scholar was surprised to see a man in tattered clothes and barefoot. Nevertheless, as a good Christian, he greeted the poor man: "May God give you a good morning!"
The poor man replied cheerfully, "I have never yet had a bad morning."
"Then may God give you good luck!"
"I have never yet had bad luck."
"Well, may God give you happiness!"
"I have never yet been unhappy."
The scholar then asked the man, "Could you please explain yourself to me? I do not understand."
And the poor man replied, "With pleasure! You wish me a good morning, yet I have never had a bad morning. For when I am hungry, I praise God; when I feel cold, or when it is raining or snowing, I praise God; and that is why I have never had a bad morning.
"You wish that God may give me luck. However, I have never had bad luck. This is because I live with God and always feel what he does for me is the best. Whatever God sends me, be it pleasant or unpleasant, I accept with a grateful heart. That is why I have never had bad luck.
"Finally, you wish that God should make me happy. But I have never been unhappy. For all I desire is to follow God's will; I have surrendered my will so totally to
God's will that, whatever God wants, that is what I also want. "That is why I have never been unhappy."

Read: HYPERLINK "http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?language=english&version=NIV&passage=+Isaiah+55:6-13" Isaiah 55:6-13
My word . . . shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please. Isaiah 55:11
They know Tom Dotson pretty well in the prisons of Michigan. They ought to. He spent more than a decade behind bars.
Tom gave his testimony at the annual banquet for prison chaplains in Muskegon, Michigan. He said he had grown up in a Christian home but had rebelled and rejected the gospel. His wife, who sang at the banquet, stayed with him in spite of his repeated failures. A prison chaplain faithfully worked with him, Tom genuinely surrendered to Jesus Christ, and his life was changed.
Dotson urged Christian workers, Continue on in your ministry with people like me, no matter how frustrating. We may have lots of setbacks. But dont give up. Theres power for change in even the most frustrating person through the sacrifice of Christ, the One who really sets us free. Then, looking right at the chaplain who had patiently witnessed to him, Tom said tenderly, Thank you for not giving up on me."
God will abundantly pardon all who come to Him (Isaiah 55:7). His powerful Word can bring change (v.11), freeing men and women from the prison of sin (John 8:32).
Are you about to give up on someone you think will never change? Dont! Keep at it! Dave Egner
Be not weary in well-doing,Though your labors cause you painThere could never be a harvestWithout sowing of the grain. Anon.
Instead of giving up on a person, give that person to God.

31 FLAVORS GONE KOSHER
What would ice cream be if the ice cream parlor were owned by Jews? What would kosher ice cream taste like? Max & Mina's kosher ice cream parlor in Kew Gardens Hills, N.Y. is very different than any other ice cream store you've ever heard of. It has a lot of very strange flavors. Here's some of the stranger ones (all rich in butterfat but meeting various Jewish dietary standards): "lox," "corn on the cob," "horseradish," "peanut butter and jelly," "beer and nuts" and "campfire delight" (which is baked beans flavor). The store also once made (but has discontinued) a "broccoli" ice cream. ***MARLAR: No wonder theres so much screaming about ice cream those flavors are terrifying.

TOP TEN GREAT PLACES TO DO LAUNDRY ON THE ROAD
Who wants to pack a bigger bag just to take enough clothes to last a whole vacation? Yet doing laundry is pretty low on everyone's activity list. "In the '60s and '70s, laundromats were dumps," says Joel Jorgensen, "but no more." An exec at Continental Girbau, which makes commercial and industrial laundry equipment, he tells USA TODAY's Anne Goodfriend about some coin-ops that put a new spin on sudsing your duds.
Laundry 101 - Madison, Wisconsin: "It's unlike any laundromat in the country. Within walking distance of the State Capitol and the University of Wisconsin, Laundry 101 is a downtown favorite of students and young professionals, offering Internet access, espresso, and soft-pretzel sandwiches. No need to bring detergent and softener: Their Express Wash machines inject them and "wash and dry your clothes in 40 minutes." Drop-off laundry and dry cleaning are ready the next day. 608-294-9274.
Brainwash - San Francisco: "It's more than a laundromat: It's a hangout with really good food: soups, salads, sandwiches and a fullcoffee bar," plus live music on weekends. 415-431-9274.
Washtime Laundry - Westminster, Colorado: When in the Denver metro area, you can take a load to any of numerous Washtimes, but this one "is close to Six Flags Elitch Gardens, the new Coors Field and Mile High Stadium. It's big, bright and clean, with TVs everywhere you look." 303-429-1188.
Spin Station - Johnson, Vermont: This converted filling station in the heart of ski country is "something to behold. It's done in '50s deco style with the booths and barstools, and they kept the bay doors. In the precious summer months they open them, and it's a laundromat with an outdoors feel." There's no phone at the station, but you can hardly miss the place.
Sit & Spin Seattle: "Just as Seattle led the coffee-bar craze," this place plays a similar role in the new generation of laundromats. "It serves pasta, pizza, chili, nachos. ... It's a joint where you can do laundry." 206-441-9484.
Bessie's Laundry - Kayenta, Arizona: "Lots of campers, bikers, hikers and mountain climbers" traversing the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area or Monument Valley stop here, where the machines are large enough to wash tents and sleeping bags. Near "the Utah border in the heart of the Navajo reservation," the tiny town is a popular pass-through "because there is spectacular scenery. There's flat desert, and all of a sudden there'll be a huge rock structure that seems to come out of nowhere." 520-697-3337.
Soaps-N-Suds Laundromat Lounge - Norfolk, VirginiaOne of 12 Soaps-N-Suds in Virginia, it offers drop-off service, but you may want to stay: "It's right on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. Walk out the back and you're on the beach." An entertainment area has comfortable armchairs, TVs, magazines and vending machines. 757-583-6975.
The Clothesline Coin Laundry - Rogers, Arkansas: Only 30 miles from the tourist mecca of Branson, Missouri, Rogers is in "a community of small towns with hotels, high-end grocery stores and shopping." Besides drop-off service, daily specials and ample parking, the Clothesline has "beautiful neon signs and a wide-open layout," and there's usually a movie on the TV monitors. 501-636-5566.
Harvey Washbangers Nashville: Here's a laundromat plus diner, where "you can ... get the wash going while you're in the restaurant. It has a '50s feel" with comfort food to match: "meatloaf and mashed potatoes, burgers, patty melts." 615-322-9274.
The Laundry Bar - Miami Beach: "If you want to people-watch, go (to this) South Beach hot spot with atmosphere: dimmed lights, strobes flashing, and plenty of food. If you're a local, (this is) where you do your laundry. Wash your night duds, put 'em on and hit the strand."
JUST FOR FUN
PLEASE DRIVE THROUGH
A trip to Sonic for a cold drink ends up a complete wreck!Martha Bell of Savannah, Georgia, stopped for a cold drink at a Sonic drive-thru restaurant recently, when the pedal on her Jaguar got stuck. That's the accelerator pedal. So, as most cars do that have the pedal to the floor, Martha proceeded to smash through a wall and drove right into the Sonic restaurant and only stopped when the car finally hit a freezer. Restaurant manager Daniel McCollum joked, "I guess our service just wasn't fast enough." ***MARLAR: This wasn't what he meant when he told her to please drive through.

DOGS' LETTERS TO GOD
Dear God: How come people love to smell flowers but seldom smell one another? Where are their priorities?
Dear God: When we get to Heaven, can we sit on your couch? Or is it the same old story?
Dear God: Excuse me, but why are there cars named after the jaguar, the cougar, the mustang, the colt, the stingray, and the rabbit, but not one named for a dog? How often do you see a cougar riding around? We dogs love a nice ride. I realize every breed cannot have its own model, but how hard could it be to rename the Chrysler Eagle the Chrysler Beagle?
Dear God: If a dog barks his head off in the forest and no human hears him, is he still a bad dog?
Dear God: Is it true that in Heaven, dining room tables have on-ramps?
Dear God: When we get to the Pearly Gates, do we have to shake hands to get in?
Dear God: We dogs can understand human verbal instructions, hand signals, whistles, horns, clickers, beepers, scent IDs, electromagnetic energy fields, and Frisbee flight paths. What do humans understand?
Dear God: Are there dogs on other planets or are we alone? I have been howling at the moon and stars for a long time, but all I ever hear back is the beagle across the street.
Dear God: Are there mailmen in Heaven? If there are, will I have to apologize?
Dear God: Is it true that dogs are not allowed in restaurants because we can't make up our minds what NOT to order? Or is it the carpets thing again?
Dear God: Can you undo what that doctor did?
CAT'S LETTER TO GOD
Dear God: Do you exist? I'm just curious. I don't care.

LIAR LIAR
As we've already know, telling lies doesn't make people's noses grow like Pinocchio's, but there are plenty of other ways to spot a fibber. The trick isn't in learning to detect falsehoods but in spotting the clues that folks are telling the truth, says behavioral analyst Stan B. Walters. Just look for two or three of the following truth-telling signs the next time you ask someone a question. If you don't see them, then take the answer with a grain of salt.
Calm demeanor -- People who are honest feel cool and confident and answer without extraneous bodily motion. Tension gives liars excess energy and provokes fidgeting -- especially tweaking an ear, rubbing their nose or touching their throat.
The eyes have it -- Truth-tellers maintain a steady gaze because they're focused on giving you the facts. Liars look away, close their eyes or blink rapidly.
Leaning -- People who lean toward you are telling the truth 90 percent of the time, say psychologists. "When people lie, they feel uncomfortable so they unconsciously move away," says an FBI expert.
Good timing -- You can count on folks who answer in five seconds or less. Seven seconds is all a liar needs to come up with a whopper.
Talking the talk -- Honest people speak in an even tone of voice, without wildly varying their pitch or getting tongue-tied. Stress makes liars breathe harder and affects their speech.

Plastic litter along roadsides may soon be used to make new roads. A company in the Netherlands has come up with a plan to replace asphalt and concrete with recycled plastic. The PlasticRoad material promises two benefits for the environment not only would it reduce plastic waste headed for landfills, it would also cut carbon emissions from the alternative oil-based asphalt. The company says PlasticRoad should last three times as long as conventional road materials. It would also be easier to repair by simply pulling out a damaged section and replacing it with a new one just like with building blocks.

It's summer and that means ice cream. As with everything else, someone always wants to push the bar a little bit further and, this summer, ice cream is no exception. Yahoo food did some searching and found some of the most interesting ice cream flavors around the country. Meat seems to be popular with ice cream. They found ice cream flavored with bacon, ham and even lobster. Some other interesting combinations include Wasabi, Balsamic Strawberry, Chocolate Chipotle Orange, Garlic, and even grass. That's right, ice cream with bits of grass mixed right in.

AND I LEAVE YOU WITH THIS THOUGHT
My wife is really good at giving recognition to those that deserve it, and writing letters of thanks to friends and family after special occasions or if they've done a special favor for us. She is always looking for ways to encourage others. In fact, if she likes a particular product she buys at the store, she'll sometimes take a moment to write the company. Yesterday we received a large carton of shampoo from a company that she'd written to as their way of saying "thanks". So today Ive asked her to write a letter to Volkswagen.
THE WAY WE WORK
(Updated as it comes available. HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/" The Way WE Work is written by Mark Elfstrand from 1160Hope.com in Chicago.)
HYPERLINK "http://markelfstrand.blogspot.com/2015/07/following-your-dreams-is-dangerous.html" Following Your Dreams Is Dangerous
Is there such a thing as an entrepreneur gene? You know, something innate that becomes the drive for some to take risks. To step out on their own. To follow their dreams. Im pretty sure my father had that innate drive. While family security was important, he had the urge to take on new things. His limited efforts in this way were not met with success. For a number of reasons.My wiring definitely has some of that. I have stepped out aggressively more than once, raising capital for a new venture. And then I helped my wife start a publishing business several years ago. Additionally, I helped launch two nonprofits. Its fun to be in the start with a dream and see it work business. The verdict on whether genetics is involved is mixed. But what seems to be a very common indicator for success is a little more clear. And it has to do withfamily money.First, an Inc Magazine story on this topic reports findings from HYPERLINK "http://www.kcl.ac.uk/lsm/research/divisions/gmm/Departments/twin/index.aspx" The Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology at Kings College, London. In short, their research concluded: 37 to 48 percent of the tendency to be an entrepreneur is genetic. The tendency to identify new business opportunities is in your genes. Self-employment income is heritable, which means that genetics affect not only the tendency to engage in entrepreneurship, but also the ability to perform it. The tendency to have personality traits such as extroversion, openness, etc., has a genetic component. This suggests that your genes could affect your tendency to be an entrepreneur by influencing the type of personality you develop.(see HYPERLINK "http://www.inc.com/adam-heitzman/how-entrepreneurship-might-be-genetic.html" http://www.inc.com/adam-heitzman/how-entrepreneurship-might-be-genetic.html)But the success factor of entrepreneurship comes from a second article. Its titled, Entrepreneurs dont have a special gene for riskthey come from families with money. ( HYPERLINK "http://qz.com/455109/entrepreneurs-dont-have-a-special-gene-for-risk-they-come-from-families-with-money/" http://qz.com/455109/entrepreneurs-dont-have-a-special-gene-for-risk-they-come-from-families-with-money/)Here we learn that the most common shared trait among entrepreneurs is HYPERLINK "http://www.andrewoswald.com/docs/entrepre.pdf" access to financial capitalfamily money, an inheritance, or a pedigree and connections that allow for access to financial stability. When basic needs are met, its argued, its easier to be creative. Safety nets encourage more risk taking.A University of California Berkeley study of entrepreneurs revealed most were white, male, and highly educated. Not all, but most. And without family money, success chances drop quite a bit.On the personality trait side, resilience stands out, along with extroversion and openness as noted earlier. And genetics do play a factor here. Its still risky business. But as one woman who runs in circles of entrepreneurs says, Following your dreams can be dangerous.This information was quite revealing to me. If I was counseling others on whether to take the leap and start a new venture, I would now have an even more cautious mindset. At least as it applies to business startups.To the contrary, the spiritual life often demands from us a leap of faith. Hebrews, chapter 11, is a classic piece of scripture on the halls of faith. Here are a few verses specifically about Abraham: It was by faith that Abraham obeyed when God called him to leave home and go to another land that God would give him as his inheritance. He went without knowing where he was going. And even when he reached the land God promised him, he lived there by faithfor he was like a foreigner, living in tents. And so did Isaac and Jacob, who inherited the same promise. Abraham was confidently looking forward to a city with eternal foundations, a city designed and built by God. (Hebrews 11:8-10 NLT)For a person to have an authentic spiritual lifewhich will certainly impact our work life as wellfaith comes into play. To move confidently into areas where insecurity dwells, it is best to know the voice of God. The sensitivity to hear Gods voice comes by abiding in Him. Leaps of faith are not such big jumps when our hearts are properly tuned.And in terms of family wealth as a safety net, remember: God not only owns the cattle on a thousand hillshe owns the real estate as well.Thats The Way WE Work.
