  EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW, I LEARNED FROM NOAH

  1. DON'T MISS THE BOAT
  
  2. REMEMBER THAT WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT.
  
  3. PLAN AHEAD. IT WASN'T RAINING WHEN NOAH BUILT THE ARK.

  4. STAY FIT. WHEN YOU’RE 60 YEARS OLD, SOMEONE MAY ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING REALLY BIG.

  5. DON'T LISTEN TO CRITICS; JUST GO ON WITH THE JOB THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE.

  6. FOR SAFETY'S SAKE, TRAVEL IN PAIRS.

  7. BUILD YOUR FUTURE ON HIGH GROUND.

  8. SPEED ISN'T ALWAYS AN ADVANTAGE, THE SNAILS WERE ON BOARD WITH THE CHEETAHS.

  9. WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED, FLOAT A WHILE.

  10. REMEMBER, THE ARK WAS BUILT BY AMATEURS; THE TITANIC BY PROFESSIONALS.

  11. NO MATTER THE STORM, WHEN YOU ARE WITH GOD, THERE'S ALWAYS A RAINBOW WAITING.

  Pris,

  Yes, this is a rather humorous way of looking at life; and a partially true one.

  Good Post

  You Know

  Perhaps one of the lesser known lessons is that we should perhaps imbibe moderately and reguarly in order to deal with stressful situations so as to prevent busting lose and going on a drunken bender at a later time. / You Know

  I like this one....9. WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED, FLOAT A WHILE.

  Ya....don't jump off the boat! The water WILL mellow in time!

  Thanks for posting that, Prisca. This was the first positive post I could actually show my JW dad. He thinks that we only have negative things to say about the witnesses. This is proof that we can be objective.

  Thanks again,
