America according to Time Magazine, the American dream has become a stress nightmare. Overscheduled, over-rushed, over-committed, and too connected. CNN revealed that 69% of Americans want to slow down. Anybody in that group? Most Americans realize we are going too fast. In fact the Harris poll tells us that today we have 8 ½ hours less of leisure time than we had 10 years ago with all of the stuff we have to save time. One of the problems is something called a cell telephone. You can't get away from them. And the email. I read where 56% of the people in the work force answer their emails immediately.

I'm at my wits end. I'm coming unglued. If it ain't one thing, it's another. How many of you have said those things. Just raise your hand and be honest. Just about everybody in this room. That's how we live. That last one happens to be the title of this series, "If It Ain't One Thing, It's another, and for those of you who are concerned about the fact that I use the word ain't in the title of this series, get over it. I got it from you. That's the way I hear you say it. I also hear you say the faster I go, the behinder I get. Not good grammar, but it makes sense, doesn't it. You understand it. It's like a country music song. They just make good sense. You u ...
