P.S. Here is another word of advice from Grandpa!!!!


GET THEE UP

An explorer was once traveling through a cold Arctic winter night. He was not particularly uncomfortable, but as he proceeded he felt a sluggish, drowsy feeling coming over him. He decided to lie down and rest. Then all of a sudden he realized he was freezing to death. The thought so startled him that he got up and began to run with all his might. The excitement and vigorous exertion quickened the heart action, and he soon had a good supply of warm blood circulating through his body. Then the danger was past. His life had been saved because he "gat up" and increased his activity.

This experience has its counterpart in our spiritual affairs. It is the inspired formula of Isaiah, "Get thee up — be illuminated." Be active. Use your talents to the utmost.
