Easter Weekday
First Reading
Acts 16:11-15
11Setting sail therefore from Tro'as, we made a direct voyage to Sam'othrace, and the following day to Ne-ap'olis, 12and from there to Philip'pi, which is the leading city of the district of Macedo'nia, and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days;  13and on the sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.  14One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyati'ra, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to give heed to what was said by Paul.  15And when she was baptized, with her household, she besought us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us. 
Responsorial Psalm
Psalms 149:1-6, 9
1Praise the LORD! Sing to the LORD a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful! 2Let Israel be glad in his Maker, let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King! 3Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with timbrel and lyre! 4For the LORD takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with victory. 5Let the faithful exult in glory; let them sing for joy on their couches. 6Let the high praises of God be in their throats and two-edged swords in their hands, 9to execute on them the judgment written! This is glory for all his faithful ones. Praise the LORD!
Gospel
John 15:26--16:4
1526But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me;  27and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning.161"I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away.  2They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.  3And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.  4But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them. "I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

Hi, I often tell people that genius is not so much talent as it is attitude… You see, your attitude is the environment you decide to carry with you during the day. It proclaims to the world what you think of yourself and indicates the sort of person you have made up your mind to be. A genius attitude is deciding that you can do well at anything you make up your mind to do. When you do that, you give the project all you’ve got, and in doing so, attract the favorable attention of others. Attitude is one of the most commonly used and yet most misunderstood words in the English language. However, if you understand what attitude really is, you’ll know how to bring the best of you to the surface every day... To your success, Bob Proctor Chairman & Co-Founder Proctor Gallagher Institute

Why is this email important? Well if you care about your business it is! OK now that that's out of the way let me tell you why you need to keep reading this.  Imagine that you have the world’s greatest company. Now imagine that you want to share your service or product with the world and make a living off it. It makes sense, right? An awesome company is going to sell on its own, it’ll be a huge hit! Simple math (Great product = tons of sales) Now reality is settling in, those initial customers you had aren’t singing your praises. They're content but once they’ve purchased it they’re gone. What happened?  What’s missing here? It’s simple. Marketing.  You have a great service, but no one knows about it! And how would your potential consumers know? They can’t read your mind and find it. Unless you're showing people ads they’ll never know you exist. It’s a sad truth but a truth nonetheless. Marketing exists to sell services. Social Marketing S...
