For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;
His glory shall not descend after him.
Psalm 49:17
God encourages us to fix our eyes on the things that endure. In light of eternity, leaders cannot become consumed with the temporary.
Only a vision that outlives them, a vision connected to eternity, will fulfill a godly leader. In other words, we must build a legacy.
A huge difference exists between a legacy and an inheritance. Anyone can leave an inheritance.
An inheritance is something you leave to your family or loved ones. (It also fades.)
A legacy is something you leave in your family and loved ones.
Consider these differences:
Inheritance
1. Something you give to others
2. Temporarily brings them happiness
3. Eventually fades as it is spent
4. Your activity may or may not pay off
Legacy
1. Something you place in others
2. Permanently transforms them
3. Lives on long after you die
4. Your activity becomes achievement

Proof That The World is Nuts!
In Lebanon, men are legally allowed to have sex with
animals, but the animals must be female.
Having sexual relations with a male animal is punishable
by death.
(Like THAT makes sense?)
In Bahrain, a male doctor may legally examine a
woman's genitals, but is prohibited from looking directly
at them during the examination.
He may only see their reflection in a mirror.
(Do they look different reversed?)
Muslims are banned from looking at the genitals of a
corpse. This also applies to undertakers.
The sex organs of the deceased must be covered with a
brick or piece of wood at all times.
(A brick??)
The penalty for masturbation in Indonesia is decapitation.
(Much worse than "going blind!")
There are men in Guam whose full-time job is to travel
the countryside and deflower young virgins, who pay them
for the privilege of having sex for the first time.
Reason: under Guam law, it is expressly forbidden
for virgins to marry.
(Let's just think for a minute; is there any job anywhere
else in the world that even comes close to this?)
In Hong Kong, a betrayed wife is legally allowed to kill her
adulterous husband, but may only do so with her bare
hands. The husband's illicit lover, on the other hand,
may be killed in any manner desired.
(Ah! Justice!)
Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool,
England but only in tropical fish stores.
(But of course!)
In Cali, Colombia, a woman may only have sex with
her husband, and the first time this happens,
her mother must be in the room to witness the act.
(Makes one shudder at the thought.)
In Santa Cruz, Bolivia, it is illegal for a man to have sex
with a woman and her daughter at the same time.
(I presume this was a big enough problem that they had
to pass this law?)
In Maryland, it is illegal to sell condoms from vending
machines with one exception:
Prophylactics may be dispensed from a vending machine only
"in places where alcoholic beverages are sold for
consumption on the premises."
(Is this a great country or what?
Well . . . not as great as Guam!)
Banging your head against a wall
uses 150 calories an hour.
(Who volunteers for this stuff?)
Humans and dolphins are the only species
that have sex for pleasure.
(Is that why Flipper was always smiling?)
The ant can lift 50 times its own weight,
can pull 30 times its own weight and always falls over
on its right side when intoxicated.
(From drinking little bottles of ... ?
and did the government pay for this research??)
Butterflies taste with their feet.
(Ah, geez.)
An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain.
(I know some people like that.)
Starfish don't have brains.
(I know some people like that, too.)
And, the best for last:
Turtles can breathe through their butts. !
(And I thought I had bad breath in the morning!)
Some of this I knew already,
and some I wish I hadn't found out !!

Words Women Use!
Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this is half an hour.
Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given 5 more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means "something" and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with "nothing" usually end in "fine".
Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission, DON'T DO IT!
Loud Sigh
Although not actually a word, the loud sigh is often misunderstood by men. A "Loud Sigh" means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you over "Nothing".
That's Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements that woman can make to a man. "That's Okay" means that she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
Thanks
This is the least used of all words in the female vocabulary. If a woman is thanking you. Do not question it, just say you're welcome and back out of the room slowly.

FUN Being A Malaysian!
NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR HAIR LOSS: Maggi Mee.
NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE: Traffic JAM.
NATIONAL CONDOM: None. Most Malaysians still feel
embarrassed buying condoms. So they rushed into a 7-11,
hurriedly grab the nearest pack, any pack,
pay and leave before the cashier can even blink an eye.
NATIONAL FRUIT FOR INDUCING MENSTRUATION: Pineapple.
NATIONAL APHRODISIAC DRINK: Stout. Many swear by
it. But after a few pints they start swearing at everything...
NATIONAL FAKE ILLNESS FOR GETTING MC (MEN):
Food Poisoning.
NATIONAL FAKE ILLNESS FOR GETTING MC (WOMEN): Menstrual Pain.
NATIONAL EXCUSES GIVEN BY WOMEN WHEN REFUSING SEX:
Headache, kids not asleep, maid not asleep, mother-in-law around, early appointment, food not digested yet, aircond not cold enough, aircond too cold, nail polish not dry yet, forgot to take the pill, sleepy, stomach cramps, period, haven't remove make-up, haven't shower, no water supply, going to watch "Santa Barbara", depress, no mood, etc...
NATIONAL EXCUSES GIVEN BY MEN WHEN REFUSING
SEX: None. Malaysian men never refuse sex.
NATIONAL CURE FOR HEADACHES: Panadol.
The "cure for all". If it fails we have another secret weapon; Tiger Balm.
NATIONAL CURE FOR DIZZINESS: Minyak Angin Cap Kapak.
NATIONAL CAUSE OF DIZZINESS (FOR YUPPIES):
Happy Hours.
NATIONAL INSTANT CURE FOR DIZZINESS (FOR YUPPIES):
The sight of a police road block.
NATIONAL RUBBISH DUMP: Anywhere. As long as it is not your house.
NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME: Carrefour (car-fu).
Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thoughts, why bother pronouncing stupid French brands like Peugeot, Renault [or Citroen correctly. I think it sounds better, when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot". When I was in school, Milo was always 'Mee Lo', now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo". So don't be embarassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".
NATIONAL ROADSIDE DISTRACTION: The Bra-less
Tourist. See how heads turn and traffic slows down when a bra-less
Mat Salleh backpacker goes bouncing about on the streets!

2 things to worry about!
There are only 2 things to worry about:
either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well, then there is nothing to worry about;
but If you are sick, there are only 2 things to worry about,
whether you will get well or whether you will die.
If you get well, there is nothing to worry about;
but if you die, there are only 2 things to worry about;
whether you go to heaven or hell.
If you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about,
and if you go to hell, you'll be so busy shaking hands
with old friends, you won't have time to worry,
so why worry???

A Can of Worms!
A minister decided that a visual demonstration
would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon.
Four worms were placed into four separate jars.
The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container
of cigarette smoke.
The third worm was put into a container
of chocolate syrup.
The fourth worm was put into a container
of good clean soil.
At the conclusion of the sermon,
the Minister reported the following results:
The first worm in alcohol - Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke - Dead.
Third worm in chocolate syrup - Dead.
Fourth worm in good clean soil - Alive.
So the Minister asked the congregation
- What can you learn from this demonstration?
A little old woman in the back quickly raised her hand and said,
"As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"
Don't you just love little old ladies????

You Are So Blessed!!!
YOU ARE SO BLESSED!
If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.
If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back,a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank,
in your wallet, and spare change
in a dish someplace, you are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If your parents are still married and alive,
you are very rare,
especially in the United States.
If you hold up your head with a smile
on your face and are truly thankful,
you are blessed because the majority can,
but most do not.
If you can hold someone's hand, hug them
or even touch them on the shoulder,
you are blessed because you can
offer God's healing touch.
If you can read this message,
you are more blessed than over
two billion people in the world
that cannot read anything at all.
You are so blessed in ways
you may never even know.
BLESSINGS TO YOU!
If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness,
you are more blessed than the
million who won't survive the week.
If you have never experienced
the danger of battle,
the loneliness of imprisonment,
the agony of torture or
the pangs of starvation,
you are ahead of 20 million people
around the world.
If you attend a church meeting
without fear of harassment,
arrest, torture, or death,
you are more blessed than almost
three billion people in the world.
If you have food in your refrigerator,
clothes on your back,a roof over
your head and a place to sleep,
you are richer than 75% of this world.

Men strike back!
The time has finally come...
How many men does it take to open a beer?
None. It should be opened when she brings it.
Why is a Laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine
will probably never be able to support you.
Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those "evolutionary things" that allows them
to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
How do you know when a woman is about to say
something smart?
When she starts a sentence with "A man once told me."
How do you fix a woman's watch?
You don't. There is a clock on the oven.
Why do men fart more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to build up
the required pressure.
If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife
is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.
What's worse than a Male Chauvinist Pig?
A woman who won't do what she's told.
I married a Miss Right.
I just didn't know her first name was Always.
Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes
a woman's sex drive by 90%.
It's called a Wedding Cake.
Why do men die before their wives?
They want to.
Women will never be equal to men until they can walk
down the street with a bald head and a beer gut,
and still think they are sexy.
In the beginning, God created the earth and rested.
Then God created Man and rested.
Then God created Woman.
Since then, neither God nor Man has rested.
Boy ain't this the truth!
