John

It was November of 1989. My brother, sister, and I were in the waiting room at
Presbyterian Hospital, awaiting the surgeon’s report on my father. My dad had
been complaining for several months that he just wasn’t feeling well. The
doctors couldn’t find anything, so they suggested exploratory surgery. When the
surgeon came back into the waiting room, he said, “We found that he has
pancreatic cancer, and it has spread everywhere. There is nothing we can do.”

Of course, my brother, sister, and I asked the inevitable question that every
doctor hates to answer: “How long does my dad have, do you think, Doctor?” He
replied, “Well, it’s impossible to know. It could be weeks. It could be a few
months. It might even be a year. But attitude is everything.”

That struck me. With all the medical technologies available, the doctor was
saying that the greatest variable in my father’s longevity would be something
immeasurable but very real: his attitude. I immediately thought of a comment by
William James: “Perhaps the greatest discovery of this century is that if you
can change your attitude, you can change your life.”

That statement inspired me to preach a series and write a book about the
attitudes Christians should strive to adopt instead of those that come
naturally. I’m talking about choosing things like:


* Purpose over aimlessness
* Perserverance over defeat
* Faith over worry

My book, Choose Your Attitudes, Change Your Life, is being sent as a thank-you
gift to anyone who donates toPathway to Victory's ministry work this month.

Each one of us has the opportunity to adjust our attitudes and choose what is
noble and good. When we make that decision, the ramifications to our life and
the lives of those around us are significant. I want to help you make the right
choices.
