A Tribute To A Baker

"HUUP...ONE, HUUP...TWO, HUUP...THREE..."Those melodious orders sounded like the commands of a tough marine drill sergeant. However, in reality the man's name was Tom Williams and he was an executive with the Houston Oilers (of the National Football League) and a world class trainer of famous athletes -- Earl Campbell, Darrell Green, Mike Singletary, Hakeem Olajuwon -- to name but a few.

During the off season he operated a Kolache shop, baking cookies and meat filled delights.

Approximately 200 yards from this Kolache shop was his famous "Hill", a very steep embankment, which led to the bayou. Tom would have his athletes train on that hill, running up and down to build stamina or to help rebuild muscles or ligaments damaged after an injury or surgery.

As for me, I had always wanted to be a pro athlete, but early on I realized that I was not quick enoughnor tall enough to become one, so I focused my dreams on becoming an Orthopedic Surgeon, helping my athletic idols to recover from devastating injuries.

That dream, however, was smashed during my sophomore year in college when I was seriously injured as an innocent victim of a convenience store robbery. I was shot in the back of the head, and very few thought I would even survive. However, many months later, after several surgeries and lengthy hospital rehabilitation programs, I met Tom, the eternal optimist.

The first day my family and I encountered Tom he was barking out orders for his athletes on the "Hill". He told my parents he could definitely help me, but I would have to discipline myself to work four straight hours every single day, including weekends.

At first, my parents would watch Tom work with me in the back of his Kolache shop. Tom would cover the tables he would normally use to knead his dough, and now would "knead" my muscles, massage my limp right arm, and struggle with me as I learned to walk again.

Then, one day, Tom barked, "Mike, let's go to the 'Hill'."

I was scared as I limped toward the bayou, and my parents were equally petrified. The "Hill" was so steep that I thought even a Billy goat would have difficulty trying to climb it.

Initially, Tom ordered two husky athletes to lift me under my arms and "drag" me down the hill. When we got to the bottom, one of the athletes screamed up to Tom, "What do you want us to do now?" Tom calmly replied, "Drag him back up."

At that point, my father, who by profession is a rabbi, told my mother that he thought Tom was going to kill me and they should get me away from him as soon as possible.

My father, wanting to be polite, thanked Tom and stated that we had to go home. But Tom replied, "It's only 2 o'clock, and Mike is to be here until 5, and by the way, bring him a little earlier tomorrow."

Even though my father was adamant about leaving, my mother truly felt that if Tom could help "million dollar athletes" recover, he could surely help her son.

My father went home, never returning to the Kolache store because he told my mother, "Tom is going to kill Mike," and my mother never volunteered any information to my father about my progress with Tom as the days wore on.

One day, a number of weeks later, Tom called my father at home and said, "Father, this is Tom Williams and you need to get here fast!" With that, Tom slammed the phone down.

My father thought I was dead or badly injured, the victim of a severe injury while tumbling down that "Hill." He quickly sped toward Tom's shop, jumped out of his car, and noticed many people huddled near the corner of the "Hill." With great trepidation my father peered over the "Hill" and saw me slowly climbing the "Hill" -- alive. When I reached the top of the "Hill" I quickly turned around as Tom instructed me and went back down to the bottom, to the bayou. Tears welled up in my father's eyes as Tom approached him and said, "Rabbi, you might give great sermons, but you don't practice what you preach. You tell everyone to have faith, but you did not have faith -- faith in me, faith in your son, and faith in God. You simply said, 'I give up,' and you went home."

My father pondered seriously as to what Tom had just said and watched as I slowly reached the edge of the "Hill" on my return trip. At that moment, with tears of great joy, my father and I fell into each other's arms and embraced one another.

That was just one of the many lessons I learned from Tom over the next few years. Even though I still have many physical disabilities as a result of the gunshot wound, the "Hill" taught me that even the impossible could become the possible.

Everyone in life has his own "Hill" to climb, some small, some large. On that day Tom taught me the most important lesson of my life: "Never give in; never give up."

-----------------------------------------------------

Even though Tom was a world class trainer of athletes, he learned that his true love was helping "ordinary" people, and soon after my success on the "Hill" Tom opened a Rehabilitation Center where he worked with spinal cord and head injured and stroke patients. In the "old days," Tom would use only a simple table in the back of his Kolache shop on which he prepared his pastries to help his clients. Now, he had a state of the art, modern Rehabilitation Center along with his own man-made "Hill" so Tom could encourage many more to defy the experts.

Tom received referrals from all over the country for he had a special ability to make patients want to excel. His patients improved and his Center was a huge success.

For the next few years I would regularly go to the Center, not only to exercise but more importantly to work out for the "Master," Tom.

I had developed a strong emotional connection with Tom. He had extended to me a lifeline to enjoy life once again which many physicians and therapists stated no longer existed.

However, later Tom became extremely ill with cancer and passed away. The funeral was huge. Many of his athletes were there to say their last "good byes" and "thank yous." I was an honorary pallbearer because his family thought that our relationship was a special and unique one.

After everyone left the cemetery I went up to Tom's grave to utter my final prayer and statement of thankfulness that such a wonderful man had been a part of my life. As I glanced at the inscription on the tombstone I read:

Forever Loved In The Hearts Of Those He Touched
Tom Williams
April 11, 1927 -- June 11, 1995

At that very moment I realized why we were so deeply connected: April 11 is also my birthday!

Human Harmonics: The Journey Within ~ Choosing An Abun

Posted May 4, 2009 by harmonicutopia

Our loving inner guidance will always lead us to the life we desire. As we remember to hear our loving inner voice, it will guide us to make the choices and decisions that will hold the greatest light for us and place us onto the higher path.

As we choose the path with the most light, we are choosing success at its highest level, and we will feel the acceleration of our growth, aliveness, and abundance return to us. Our new unlimited thinking will lead us to make more conscious and aware choices that bring us the life we want.

Our past has lost all its power to hold us; we are free beings of light. We can now mentally release decisions we made in the past that were preventing us from experiencing the reality we desire.

We can freely make choices in every now moment as to what we believe as our truth. What resonates for us is our inner guidance leading us to where we desire to be. We create positive futures, as we know we can freely become any reality we want.

In Part 5 of our nine part series entitled "Human Harmonics: The Journey Within" this Wednesday (Free Evolutionary Radio 1:00 p.m. MST, 3:00 p.m. EDT), we'll take a closer look at who we are and flow into our natural state of abundance within. We'll also take a special journey into our sacred self to reconnect with the natural abundance inherent at our birth. Come join us for this transformational experience as we head toward 2012 and The Golden Age.

If you are unable to be online for our radio show live, you are welcome to call in and listen by dialing (347) 996-5223 or access the show later from the archives where it will also be available as a podcast for your MP3 player.

Until then, we'd love to see you at our new Harmonic Community (click here) where we have begun work on several different co-creative projects.

OUR Disappointment is GOD's Appointment

Posted February 9, 2008 by livingsprings

OUR Disappointment is GOD's Appointment

ONCE born as a human being we pass through many stages of life, and in each stage we see many aspects of life one different than the other and gain experience to walk one step at a time.

THROUGHOUT history and currently we see no human being ever walking in this planet not knowing what disappointment is. It is evident that everyone who is born has to go through disappointment in one or the other circumstances which they have to endure. Some for a season, some for an hour, days or months and some life long. And we find no one who can boast that they have walked in beds of roses, drank the wine of happiness, and soared high in the world of fantasies without going through disappointment in their life time.

CHILDREN'S get disappointed with their parents when they do not buy them what they want, parents get disappointed with their children for certain things. Wife gets disappointed with her husband when he does not show up early in the evening after work or if he just sits around in the house without helping her. Same way husbands get disappointed with their wife for certain reasons. A person going through a incurable illness not because of his/her fault has a question why did I get this? what a disappointment, at certain times it is the product of their own action. A falsely convicted person stays behind the bars with clouds of disappointment covering all over him. Some are allergic to certain things which they love, and when they find others enjoying those things they get disappointed and ask themselves why am I not able to enjoy those things, why is it only me? A stripper is disappointed when someone marks a finger at her, does these people understand what I have been through? a question passes her mind several times. Lets see the children of great business personals, many say they are lucky, they eat on golden plates, drive on limousines, wear good clothes, enjoy rich friends and elite clubs, shop on expensive malls and know not what is termed as disappointment, but alas, they are far from the love of the family and get involved in gang wars, drugs, sex etc., Tabloids feature the dark side of the film celebrities indulged in drugs, illegitimate off-springs, multiple divorces and marriages, drunk driving, public abusing etc., these are the people who shine on silver screen, sparkle on red carpets, show-off their gowns, suits and expensive diamond necklaces to the common public. But are they happy? Did the fan club and super hits and the wealth they display keep them away from the above things due to the disappointments they go through on certain point in their life.

DISAPPOINTMENT does not possess the quality of a gentleman. It never knocks the door before it enters our happy yard. Its an uninvited guest which brings along with it the feeling of aloneness, self pity, anger and helplessness. A disappointed person goes through a time of exhaustion, heaviness in mind, he/she feels drowsy when he should not, but during the time he should really sleep he is left sleepless. Some try to express their feelings to others to gain their sympathy, while some drowning with self pity lock themselves away from all around them including their close friends and relatives and some with anger and revenge act strange.

ITS this time God points his finger to the words which thousands of years ago he embossed on this beautiful book called "The Bible" through his faithful servant Prophet Jeremiah.

"CALL unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not." Jeremiah 33:3

SUCH a caring word by our loving heavenly father, with all its simplicity that a very illiterate can understand. No complex principles to be followed, No pilgrimage required, no sacrifices of any birds or animals, no rules and regulations to perform to obey His word. Just to call on Him, and soon He will answer us and not only answer us but He will shower on us His love and mercy and healing in a much greater measure that is beyond our understanding and in such a quantity that we will not have enough room to store them.

LET us see what Jesus Christ says, "Have faith in God" Mark 11:22

OUR disappointments can be many but Jesus said "With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible." Mark 10:27
"The things which are impossible with men are possible with God." Luke 18:27.

SAMSON was disappointed, but did God leave him alone? No, Samson achieved the greatest victory of his lifetime shortly before he died.

I WAS disappointed many times in my life, I tried to overcome them with my own strength but, ultimately I had to turn to God who not only overcame my disappointment but also made me victorious. My faith in Him grows higher and higher day by day.

I HAVE met various people who claimed to have overcome, but with that attitude they have not only messed some or most part of their life but also of others during that process. But when we go to God and keep before Him our disappointments as it is, God will get to the root of the hindrances removing them one by one which otherwise is impossible to man. He will burn all the curses and bondages and set us completely free. And with Him it is always "Finished".

LETS see Jephthah the Gileadite (Judges 11). His step brothers joined with the elders of Gilead and threw him out of the house because he was the son of a prostitute through their father, they told him that since he was the son of a strange woman he cannot inherit his fathers house. He walked years of disappointment, but then came a certain point in life he turned his face towards God and poured out his heart to him. God made him the judge over Israel, he ruled them who threw him out of the house. An appointment with God made all the difference not only God answered him, but also blessed him with greater things he ever imagined.

WHEN we go to God we should remember that we are not praying to some unknown force in the universe who has some name, or some dead spirits of people of saints. ABSOLUTELY NO. We are praying to the one who is the creator of the whole universe we see and the one which is beyond our visibility. He is called as El-Shaddai (meaning GOD WHO IS MORE THAN ENOUGH for me/us), He is Jehovah Jireh (God who supplies all our needs), He is Jehovah Nissi (God who fights our battle for us). "When we humble ourselves and go on our knees with praises and thanksgiving and let Him know of the mountains we are facing, He will rebuke everyone of them makes them plain before us. God says "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain" Zechariah 4:7.

WHEN we finish our prayer in the name of Jesus the Son of the Living God the Victory will be Ours, because he takes in him all our sickness, diseases, confusions, questions, infirmities, tears and disappointments and gives us his everlasting joy, peace, strength and happiness.

"COME unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Mathew 11:28.

CHRISTIANS walk is through the valley of shadow of death (Psalms 23:4), but Gods word is a lamp to his(her) feet and light to his(her) path (Psalms 119:105), he(she) will always be cheerful because he(she) overcomes as his(her) shepherd is a overcomer (John 16:33).

JESUS said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. IN THE WORLD YE SHALL HAVE TRIBULATION: BUT BE OF GOOD CHEER; I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD." John 16:33.

OUR Disappointment turns to Gods Appointment brings Victory.

In Christ ... LOVINGLY = Manoj

Scarcity of Love

Posted February 9, 2008 by livingsprings

Scarcity of Love

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." 1 Corinthians 13:1 (Bible)

Love is a divine language. Our actions should demonstrate love. Love is a communication for the dumb and the hearing for the deaf. It's a mending for a broken relationship, and rest for the burdened. Love sacrifices, encourages, and makes a mark in the depth of our very bring. Love strengthens us and helps us win over all battles in our life, because it has a power and strength to win over anything existing in this world. God wants us to have this kind of love. "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13. There are so many people around waiting us to love them with this kind of love, because sacrificial love demonstrates God to them. God's love enjoys in providing something to someone without expecting anything back from them, and it delights in sacrificing to others. This is Gods love, and this is Christ's love, and this has to be a Christ-ians love.

Selfish love is different. Its temporary. A selfish person expects someone to provide him or her instead of giving to someone, and expects more and more. Unlike selfish love, Divine love wishes to give something to someone every moment. A person who is filled with Diving love uses his/her strength, money, time for the uplifting of others who needs them. Such a depth of love is seen in our Lord Jesus Christ. God loves us with an everlasting love. When we are lost in this world with its merriment like a lost sheep, God wants to pull us back and give us back the lost glory. He sent His only begotten Son Jesus Christ for this purpose.

Let us follow the steps of Jesus and in all our works let us make him our guide, so his love may fill our heart and flow out of us like a spring reaching others who need that and who thirst for that love. Let us keep our life to shower divine love to others.

"But God shows his love for us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

In Christ ..... LOVINGLY = Manoj
