Thought For The Day by John Jaeger, MBA

[ChemEngineer]

" - A large-scale 1972 study found that persons who did not attend

church were four times as likely to commit suicide than were frequent

church attenders.

- One survey of nearly 14,000 youths found that substance abuse varied

in direct proportion to strength of religious commitment. The authors

concluded that 'importance of religion' was the single best predictor of

substance abuse patterns.

- Several studies have found that alcohol abuse is highest among those

with little or no religious commitment.

- Religious people recover from surgery more quickly than do their

atheistic and agnostic counterparts.

- A number of studies have found a strong inverse correlation between

church attendance and divorce.

- A 1978 study found that church attendance predicted marital

satisfaction better than any other single variable.

- Very religious women report greater happiness and satisfaction with

marital sex.


In short, the burden of both clinical experience and the research data

suggests that among the most important determinants of human happiness

and psychological well-being are our spiritual beliefs and moral

choices."

if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. - Philippians 4:8

Create your own Word document with this verse at the top and a growing list of the most memorable compliments you have been given by family and friends. You can review and treasure it from time to time, and deservedly so. Perhaps loved ones will read it at your memorial service to the delight and amazement of all present.

"Here's an ABSOLUTE DISGUSTING Exit Poll Statistic from last night: 24% of so-called 'White Born-Again or Evangelical Christians' voted FOR Ohio's pro-abortion constitutional amendment," he fumed. "It's not JUST the left. JUST HORRIBLE."​

"Are we going to read about you being eaten by a grizzly bear?" - David Letterman to Timothy Treadwell, who lived with the bears in Katmai Forest, Alaska for thirteen summers before he was eaten by a grizzly bear, along with his foolish girlfriend, age 37 .
Treadwell was 48 and a recovering alcoholic who thought he had all the answers. Obviously he did not.

"Experts and the educated elite have...replaced what worked with
what sounded good. Society was far more civilized before they took
over our schools, prisons, welfare programs, police departments
and courts. It's high time we ran these people out of our lives
and went back to common sense." --Walter Williams

MBA? Master of business administration? Does it have a different connotation in the religious community? No offense but my personal thought for the day is just as important as some scripture that someone named John Jaeger found..

MBA? Master of business administration? Does it have a different connotation in the religious community?

Yes, MBA represents master of business administration.
Why on earth would an educational diploma have "a different connotation in the religious community" than in any other? Does an M.D. degree have "a different connotation in the religious community"?
How about DDS? If you think so, explain why to the audience.

No offense but my personal thought for the day is just as important as some scripture that someone named John Jaeger found..

"No offense" then he proceeds to say something offensive.

I see the "personal thoughts" you just posted. I have received many compliments on these posts. I cannot imagine how you could get a single compliment on what you wrote.

1. Today's "Thought" was by Professor Walter Williams, not "scripture."
2. January 7's "Thought" described the fatal, incredible stupidity of Timothy Treadwell, and his girlfriend, eaten by a grizzly bear. Not "scripture."
3. The first January 7 "Thought" was a quote by Aldous Huxley, not "scripture."
4. December 30, two quotes by President John Adams, not "scripture.".
5. December 21, a quote by Dale Carnegie, not "scripture."
6. December 10, a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, not "scripture."
7. December 9, a quote by Robert Baden-Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts, hardly "scripture."
8. December 5, a quote by Charles Towne, Nobel Laureate, not "scripture."
9. November 14, a quote by Houari Boumedienne, President of Algeria and a second quote by Mohammed, not "scripture," which is defined as the sacred writings of the Holy Bible.

Rarely do I encounter a post so broadly vapid, inane and untimely. It earned you the next spot on my Ignore List for obvious reasons.

I read your book.

I’d recommend that others do so too.
