Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. ~Henry Ward Beecher Ten Most Used Excuses: Bits & Pieces, November, 1989, p. 18. 1. I forgot. 2. No one told me to go ahead. 3. I didn't think it was that important. 4. Wait until the boss comes back and ask him. 5. I didn't know you were in a hurry for it. 6. That's the way we've always done it. 7. That's not in my department. 8. How was I to know this was different? 9. I'm waiting for an O.K. 10. That's his job--not mine. Our inadequacies are not problem for God. Dr. B. J. Miller once said, "It is a great deal easier to do that which God gives us to do, no matter how hard it is, than to face the responsibilities of not doing it." -- (MBI's Today In The Word, November, 1989, p.11)
