Jack’s Winning Words 6/24/10
“Ability is what you’re capable of doing.  Motivation determines what you do.  Attitude determines how well you do it.”  (Lou Holtz)  If you’re a football coach, a school teacher, or even a pastor, you can get your “team” to succeed, simply by getting them to see what they’re capable of doing and to motivate them to do it.  I’ve seen it work in the classroom, in sports, in the pulpit and in business.  The pay for doing it varies.  Holtz gets up to $50,000 per speech.   ;-)  Jack

FROM ST PAUL IN ST PAUL:  did you ever get that much for a sermon?  i did do a wedding not long ago and i got $500.  it was offsite and required some driving too. most i have even gotten.   i was surprised at their generosity.   at the same time, i have a lawyer friend who charges $485 an hour when he is "on the clock".     is my time less important than his?===JACK:  A friend of mine conducted a funeral.  After the service, the son came up to him and said:  "Thank you, pastor, I know that you'd not accept money for conducting dad's funeral, so here's a dozen golf balls."
