.He returned to his home in the middle of the night and as he was going up-stairs he heard one of his children, a girl about eight years old, crying and sobbing."Oh, father," she said, "I thought somebody came and told me that you were going to be killed, and I got out of bed and prayed that God would not let you die." Was it only a dream, a coincidence? George Benfield and others believedthat he owed his life to that prayer.350.What's in the CupboardThe LA Times reported an elderly couple had been found dead in their apartment with no suspicious circumstances.An autopsy showed that both had died of malnutrition.When police examined their apartment, in one of the cupboards they found more than $40,000 in cash.Wealthy but dead from malnutrition!351.The World's Greatest MiserHetty Green is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's greatest miser.In the late 1800s she inherited more than $10M from her family and immediately invested the money in stocks and shares.She only ever lived in rented accommodation, and only ever rode public transport.She would scan the newspaper for any special offers, clipping coupons and discount vouchers.Her diet consisted of cold porridge as she considered heating food was an unnecessary waste of money.When Hetty's son injured his knee she refused to seek medical advice and treated it herself.Two years later when the knee had grown much worse, Hetty dressed her son and herself in rags and went to a medical centre pleading poverty and requesting free treatment.But she was recognised; when the medical centre informed her she would be required to pay for the treatment, she took her son home untreated.One year later the leg had to be amputated.When she died her fortune was in excess of $100M.But the circumstances of death are amazing; she died in a fit of rage during an argument about the advantages of skim milk over whole milk.The world's greatest miser!352.Heaven's BankIn the Great Depression of the 1930s, many banks in the USA would only permit from any account a maximum withdrawal of 10% of the total funds.They had insufficient cash reserves to cover every account and feared a “run on the bank”.Heaven's Bank has no such restrictions.Whatever promise you claim; whatever Word from God you stand on; whatever dream from Heaven you possess; God's Bank will always honour.There is never any shortage of funds.353.Don't Leave Home without HimA young ensign had nearly completed his first overseas tour of sea duty when he was given an opportunity to display his ability at getting the ship under way.With a stream of crisp commands, he had the decks buzzing with men.The ship steamed out of the channel and soon the port was far behind.The ensign's efficiency has been remarkable.In fact, the deck was abuzz with talk that he had set a new record for getting a destroyer under way.The ensign glowed at his accomplishment and was not all surprised when another seaman approached him with a message from the captain.He was, however, a bit surprised to find that it was a radio message, and he was even more surprised when he read, "My personal congratulations upon completing your underway preparation exercise according to the book and with amazing speed.In your haste, however, you have overlooked one of the unwritten rules; make sure the captain is aboard before leaving port."354.Once for all timeNames like Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods roll from the lips of those who talk about golf's premier event, the Masters.One name that will probably never surface in a conversation about golfing legends is Doug Ford.Few people would have any idea that Ford won the 1957 Masters.He never won another green jacket and he hasn't made the cut since 1971 (four years before Tiger Woods was born), but he is invited to play in the Masters every year.The Masters' rules include a lifetime invitation to every champion of the event.Ford only won the tournament once, hasn't qualified with his golf skills in nearly three decades, and hasn't been able to break par in the event since 1958.Nonetheless, he gets to play in the tournament every year because on one single occasion he won the jacket.Our salvation is similarly linked to a single event.Christ's work on the cross was a one shot deal.He died once so that all could live eternally.355.The Next ChallengeA sports writer was invited for dinner at the residence of golfing legend Arnold Palmer.He arrived a bit early and Mrs.Palmer met him, invited him in, and said her husband would be down in a moment.The writer asked if, while he was waiting, he could see Palmer's trophy room.She replied, “Oh, we don't have such a room [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
