STOP AND THINK It is better to prepare than to repair. (Richard Krejcir, pastor and author)

“Think before you act.” “Measure twice, cut once.” These are reminders that careful advance work can save a lot of work. No one wants to go back and do it all over again. “Do it right the first time” is another worthy admonition. If we were to apply those principles to our words and actions, we’d no doubt develop better relationships and accomplish more good.

Prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you. (1 Peter 1:13)
