"Do it now! can affect every phase of your life.
It can help you do the things you should do but don't feel like doing. It can keep you from procrastinating when an unpleasant duty faces you. But it can also help you do those things that you want to do. It helps you seize those precious moments that, if lost, may never be retrieved."
~Napoleon Hill (posted June 9, 2009)

*The passing of our family friend, Hilda Juhl, had a great impact on me. She is the most Christlike and most positive person I have ever met. She told me and Amy at many occasions that she enjoyed my singing very much and would like to hear them again even though we have moved away. I wanted to record some favorite hymns for her but took too long to do them. A month before her passing, I told myself I should do it and started recording a couple. But it was too late...
