                         "It is possible to own too much,"
                             suggested Gene Brown, "A man
                             with one watch knows what time
                             it is; a man with two watches
                             is never sure."
 
                             This is similar to the statement                
                             by the Apostle James (1:8)... 
                             "A double minded man is unstable 
                             in all his ways."

                             It is perhaps difficult for many of us
                             to consistently remain stable in our 
                             every day, often-changing, challenging
                             and oft-times threatening world.

                             Perhaps one reason for our continued
                             inconsistencies in moral and spiritual living
                             is that...we fail to recognize that while all
                             of our parts are important ones, we could
                             not run for a second if our Creator failed
                             or refused to set our mainspring and minor 
                             wheels in motion.

                             As in some watches, as also in most men, 
                             it is very difficult for us to be ticking while 
                             we're tocking.

                             To be in harmony with the Harmonizer of
                             the Universe would suggest we need...
                             a steady hum...which only He can give us.
