My Top Ten List: "

A good woman is hard to find . . . When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say. —Proverbs 31:10, 26 MSG

Sleep researchers tell us that women have from 20 to 50 percent higher incidence of insomnia than men. They say that this is due to our fluctuating levels of estrogen. Women would tell you that this is really because we are the only gender that truly has a grip on the emotional complexities of life and once the lights go out our minds zoom in like a laser pen on the most pressing issue de jour.

I made up this list during one of those sleepless nights. It’s a countdown a la The David Letterman Show of some things I probably should pass on to a younger generation . . .

Surround yourself with people who build you up.

1. Take care of your body.


2. You make your decisions—but then your decisions make you.


3. A chapter of Proverbs a day keeps the stupids away.


4. Keep your destiny in mind.


5. Pray about everything.


6. Never make important decisions when you are tired or hungry.


7. Take time to decide what is worth doing, then do it with your whole heart and with excellence.


8. Call home.


9. Love God.
