May QuotorificMay's quotation comes from George Horace Lorimer, editor in chief of the Saturday Evening Post magazine for 38 years:if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction. George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937) Oddly, determination and restraint go together. When you're determined to do the right thing, you often have to exercise restraint from doing the wrong thing. Some days we feel like fish swimming upstream. Everything seems to be going against us. If we take those kinds of obstacles with determination that we're not going to let them get us down, we will go to bed with satisfaction. Nobody wins 100 percent of the time, but with determination, you can rest satisfied that you gave it your best effort, and nobody can do more than that.

Women think spontaneity is great. Men, not so much. But what's the fine line behind spontaneity and impulsiveness?

For those who are interested, I got good news from both of my doctors in May, a month after my radioactive seed implant for prostate cancer. Both the urologist and oncologist are optimistic and expect a good outcome. That's about as positive as these conservative guys get! Again, thanks for your prayers and support over the past several months. It's made a big difference in my life. This is the 50th issue of Inspire-O-Gram, which proves...well, I'm sure it proves something. I just can't think of what it might be right now! Until our June issue, fellow singletons, remember that our God is a good God and that He always smiles when he tucks you in at night!
