PROCRASTINATION
"Procrastination," wrote
Don Marquis, "is the art of keeping
up with yesterday."
Keeping up with yesterday is
almost as difficult as getting ahead
of tomorrow.
While it is pleasant to have
fond memories of yesterday...
And glorious dreams and hopes
for the future...
The present time is the time
for the work at hand.
If we are to strengthen our character,
it must be done today.
If we are to repent of sins,
it must be done today
If we are to love our families,
and neighbors, it must be done today.
Seldom do we procrastinate in
the right direction, at the proper time.
May we look well to this day.
