Bench Marks A man phoned his physician and excitedly exclaimed: Please come at once, doctor. My son has swallowed my fountain pen. The doctor replied, Ill be right over, but what are you doing in the meanwhile? Using a pencil, answered the father. What do we do in the meanwhile is of vital importance to our lives --- and to the lives of others. What we do with our leisure time can build our character or destroy it. It can make our fortune or mar it. While we wait for a traffic light to change, we can pray for our president, our Nation and World. While we wait for an elevator we can be still and know that God is, and He is still in charge of the Universe. While we drive or ride to work, we can affirmatively and joyously meditate on that which is true, pure, lovely and positive. While we wash the dishes, mow the lawn or perform other tasks that require less than our complete attention, we can sing, whistle or hum the tunes of great songs and hymns that inevitably make life more beautiful for us and our fellow man. While we sit in the waiting room of our physician or dentist, we can thank God for dedicated professional people, and we can pray for those patients who might be anxious, fearful, despondent or in pain. What we do with our golden in the meanwhile moments can enrich and inspire, encourage and uplift, bless and brighten our important corner of the world. ~ Dr. William Arthur Wood ~
