It seems many of us get to that point as Christmas and New Years approach and it causes stress and anxiety which can dull the true spirit of the season. John Wesley (1 703 - 179 1) was a cler- gyman in the Church of England and founder ,,Methodist Movement. He is reporte4`thave said: "Though 1 am always in haste, 1 am never in a hurry because I never undertake more work that I can go through with calmness of spirit." At this time of year we find ourselves speeding down the "Yuletide Highway" well over the limit and hearing down hard on a section of road under construc- tion. As we peer out tlyrough our festive windshield we see a flagman, frantically waving his flag and motioning us to slow down for our own good and the well- being of those around us. 11• we obey the flagman we'll have a smoother, more enjoyable ride. 1 find tl tmost helpful to acquiesce to the following 'suggestions (author unknown) entitled TEN l'OMM,4NI)- MEN7'.5' FOR ,l (l?EAT l 'lII(I.ti'7'A1AS. 1 Thou shalt prep:,te early.
