TRANSLATION COMING?

        Lately I have been feeling a move to translate some of my writings into Spanish.  I work with co-workers that are predominantly Latino.  They come from South American countries like Equador, Columbia and Peru.  There are a lot from Dominican Republic & a number from neighboring Haiti. There are also several from West & East Africa, with a few Kenyans and a couple from Sierra Leone.  So you can see it's a real melting pot.  The Haitians & Africans understand english, but our slang throws them.  The Latinos understand very little english so that is where my emphasis will lie.  I will be using the www.spanishdict.com website which is said to be the best free translation tool on the web.  It may not translate perfectly into Spanish, but with the Holy Spirit's help the message will get out there.  If you are so inclined please pray for this endeavor.
          I've decided to try to translate my devos first, then attempt to put up a Spanish website for my ministry.  May God's will be done in all things.  rk

THE 6 MISTAKES OF MORTAL MAN

Don't remember if I ever shared this:
-----------------------

1.  The illusion that personal gain is made up of crushing others.

2.  The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected.

3.  Insisting that a thing is impossible because we cannot accomplish it.

4.  Refusing to set aside trivial preferences.

5.  Neglecting development & refinement of the mind & not acquiring the habit of reading & study.

6.  Attempting to compel others to believe and live as we do.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 B.C. - 43 B.C.) 

[Roman statesman and man of letters, Cicero was Rome’s greatest orator and it’s most articulate philosopher. The last years of republican Rome are often referred to as the Age of Cicero.]
