As you can see I rarely post. However, I would like to learn to stop and reflect on the activities of the day/week/month. It is something that we all should do.
I am currently reading Avoiding the Danger Zones by Jerry Mills. Wonderful guick read. In it ( page 162) are many quotes that we all could learn from. (Ask me and I will get you a copy.) However, two that stand out:
1.Men do not attract what they want; but, who they are.
2.Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves.
Enjoy the day and learn something new! Improve yourself. It is always a new day.

Faithfulness?
You know it has been a long time ( over a year ) since I last posted.
This past year has been a difficult one to say the least; but, I am trusting God that he is faithful and it will soon come to an end.
Faithfulness... I will tell you of faithfulness! There is an employee here who with his wife are utilizing the Dave Ramsey course on debt free living, and I will tell you that God is right now blessing them in unfathomable ways. Because of not only their discipline, but also, God's faithful leading; they will be, in 3 short months , living debt free! You know what that means? Freedom! Isn't that what we all desire and want? They are on that path because they have chosen to live according to God's plan. Not some selfish me first; but, placing God first and honoring Him. What a testimony to us all.
I have been taught a lesson today! Now, will I choose to listen?
God Bless
Remember it is Friday; but, Sunday is a'comin' !
Have a wonderful Easter

The End
December 31, 2009
The end of a “new” year?
You know, it really seems like a new year. The older we get, it really does go by faster and faster. I hardly realize the time that has gone by, but the kids are older, there are a few more nicks in the door frames and my barber exposes a few more grey hairs. Yet, it has been a very blessed year.
2009 is a year that God has carried and guided us through. We have a wonderful group of individuals here at GSI that I call a family. We have grown in number and character. We have enjoyed successful and unsuccessful projects. But, God has been present through it all and that makes it all, a success. We continue recognize that fact; in order that, we will not forget to trust Him to carry and guide us into 2010.
Do you know that His eyes are always on the Promised Land. I refuse to believe otherwise. He always has our best interest in mind and I pray that we will not doubt His opportunities. In the current unstable economic climate and government policy, we see many opportunities to be servants in the marketplace and to our fellow employees. GSI is moving forward with plans to continue the two production shifts. We are remaking our scheduling and production to better meet our commitments of our customers. We will continue to develop partnerships with expanded territories and products. We also, will continue to provide spiritual support to our family of employees with our chaplains from Market Place Ministries. (http://www.mchapusa.com). Additionally, several of our employees have begun to sponsor ten World Vision (http://www.worldvision.org) children and plan to mobilize additional funds for year end projects through our employee provides program. Yes, we will keep our eyes fixed on our God. We will not doubt, and we will not forget.
May your new year be as blessed as ours will be. I hope you will be able to join us in…

100 % safety or 100 % quality
Terms usually reserved for the work place. However, I heard the term 100 % Safe Tons by one of our suppliers and one might think it refers to the need for a safe workplace environment. Yet, they have taken it a couple of steps further..
Certainly, at GSI we desire our employees to maintain and strive for a 100 % safe work place, but there should be a commitment to more. We are to be committed to provide for a safer community and a safe product for all. Our 100% commitment to safety means we are committed 100 % to quality. The quality we produce determines the level of safety we provide for the community around us. The products we produce are products of safety; therefore, we are 100 % safety and 100 % quality. Without both we are neither!
