Ripples v9.43: Stand Up!

Ripples v9.43: Stand Up!
10/22/07: a free weekly splash from Paul & The Ripples Project

____________________PEBBLE ____________________

A strong man stands up for himself,
a stronger man stands up for others.
-the movie Barnyard, submitted by Monica T., Springfield OR

Stand up to your obstacles
and do something about them.
You will find that they
haven't half the strength
you think they have.
-Norman Vincent Peale

This week was another series of adventures, first to West Virginia to hang out with residence life professionals from MACUHO, and then to Iowa and with a crew of student leaders at Drake University. During presentations at both places I issued challenges to STAND UP and take action on information they gained from their respective conferences. Therefore, I challenge each of you to STAND UP and take action too! The first quote is about standing up for others, the other quote is about standing up to your obstacles, so choose one and, well...

...STAND UP!

Peace,
Paul
