I currently run three types of weekly posts on DALANEL. I’d like to know which one is the one that brings you back for more. Daily Word is not included since that’s a daily post. Be sure to vote.

Daily Word: Albert Einstein; Philippians 4:6-7
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
Today in good news history: The first open heart surgery
Daniel Williams became the first man to perform open heart surgery. It was cool that he was an African American. I’m just saying. Anyway, I’ll let Biography take over:
In 1893, Williams continued to make history when he operated on James Cornish, a man with a severe stab wound to his chest who was brought to Provident. Without the benefits of a blood transfusion or modern surgical procedures, Williams successfully sutured Cornish’s pericardium (the membranous sac enclosing the heart), becoming the first person to perform open-heart surgery. Cornish lived for many years after the operation.
You can read Williams’ bio here if ya want. Clearly, this type of surgery has saved many.

Wednesday Word: Hit the high note of your life
This one has Steven talking about this story. But I’ll tell you what, he brings this message home in that last minute.
That was huge for two reasons. Number one, we need to let our light shine. But, number two, God already gave us a role that we are constantly trying to audition for.
Why do we do that?
Part of it is that we feel like we have to work for things. We feel like we have to earn our place.
Daily Word: Charles M. Schwab; John 15:12-13
The man who has done his best has done everything. Charles M. Schwab
“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:12-13
Daily Word: Judy Garland; Psalm 34:10
Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. Judy Garland
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. Psalm 34:10
