This blog covers thoughts, writings, and recommendations on what or who influences your life.

About

After going to work for GE, I discovered the writings of Earl Nightingale. I was shocked and elated I had never had a class on the “Strangest Secret”. Here I was 28 years old, two college degrees, military service as an Army officer and did not have what I saw as basic training I should have had in high school.

The “Strangest Secret” is quality of life lesson on being motivated, goal orientated and success in life. The basic theme is YOU BECOME WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT?

Twenty years ago I started reading and studying the Bible in earnest and found those same lessons from Earl Nightingale were included in the Bible just not so concisely in a few pages.

Three years ago I was on a homeschooling field trip and started telling one of the instructors about Earl Nightingale and the “Strangest Secret”. She told me you need to tell others about what I was telling her. Consequently, this journey began of spreading the Earl Nightingale message and the need for God in your life. Thus the reason this website was established.

Two years ago I was looking for a book on the Sermon on Mount and found a book by Emmet Fox titled “The Sermon on the Mount”. I have found his writings clearly and simply written and highly recommend them.
