HASTE MAKES WASTE FOR UNDISCIPLINED ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS

During this Spring weekend, a decision will be made in Washington, D.C. by the elected officials of the House of Representatives and eventually by the United States Senate regarding the subject of affordable Health Care for all Americans. Although the thought is worthy of pursuit, the tactics and the strategies that are being used by non-elected officials to "force the issue" on the American People is dubious at best. The leadership appears to be flawed in its integrity and its morals and ethics. The Nation is divided over the many issues that are coming down the pike from the Nation's Capital. We encourage all Americans of moral fortitude and courage to pray for the guidance of these Legislators who are about to affect the future of the United States of America in uncharted waters.

Here is the Prayer for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to assist those elected officials who want to be Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts that really desire to make a difference by their public service in an appropriate moral and ethical manner. This is the Prayer for the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

"O Lord Jesus Christ Who, before ascending into Heaven did promise to send the Holy Spirit to finish Your work in the souls of Your Representatives and Senators in the Nation's Capital deign to grant the same Holy Spirit to them that they may perfect in their actions the work of Your grace and Your love. Grant these elected officials the Spirit of Wisdom that they may despise the perishable things of this world and aspire only after the things that are eternal; the Spirit of Understanding to enlighten their minds with the light of Your divine truth; the Spirit of Counsel that they may ever choose the surest way of pleasing God and gaining Heaven; the Spirit of Fortitude that these elected officials in the House of Representatives and the Senate in Washington, D.C. may bear their crosses with You and that they may overcome with courage all of the obstacles that oppose their salvation; the Spirit of Knowledge that these unique leaders may know God and know themselves and grow perfect in the science of the Saints; the Spirit of Piety that they may find the service of God sweet and amiable; the Spirit of Fear that they may be filled with a loving reverence towards God and may dread in any way to displease Him. Mark them, O Lord, with the sign of Your true leaders and animate them in all things with Your Spirit. Amen."

For all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts who are watching the actions of their elected officials in Washington, D.C., always remember what you have learned. Your education is your life. Guard that education well as you climb up and down the Ladder of Achievement every day of your mortal life as preparation for your eternal life that fosters a solid faith, hope, and love beyond the grave.
