Today's subject is "Sound Investments".

I want to share with you today what I consider one of the truly great revelations of all time.

On Sunday morning, April 12, my wife woke from what was really a deep, profound sleep and as she was waking, a voice distinctly spoke to her; and the voice spoke to her; and the voice spoke with great authority and it said to her: "You must stop spending your thoughts, your time, and your money; everything in life must be an investment."

So she quickly wrote it down and went straight to the dictionary to look up the two important words in the sentence - "spending" and "investing". The dictionary defines "spending" as "to waste, to squander, to layout without return". To "invest" is to "layout for a purpose, for which a profit is expected".

Then I began to analyze the sentence - "You must stop spending your thoughts, your time, and your money, for everything in life must be an investment". As I dwelt upon it, I saw where everything is NOW; that through the portals of the present all time must pass, and this psychological NOW, the state in which I find myself now, does not recede into the past. It advances into my future.
