Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own" (Matthew 6:34, NIV).
A Word From Billy Graham
"King George V wrote on the flyleaf of a friend's Bible, 'The secret of happiness is not to do what you like to do, but to learn to like what you have to do.' Too many think of happiness as some sort of will-o-the-wisp thing that is discovered by constant and relentless searching. It is not found by seeking. It is not an end in itself. Pots of gold are never found at the end of the rainbow, as we used to think when we were children; gold is mined from the ground or panned laboriously from a mountain stream. Jesus once told His disciples, 'Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well' (Matthew 6:33, NIV). The 'things' He spoke of were the things that make us feel happy and secure -- food, drink, clothes, and shelter. He told us not to make these the chief goal of our lives but to 'seek the kingdom' and these needs would be automatically supplied. There, if we will take it, is the secret of happiness."

No More Megawatt Smiles
"Joy cannot be summoned. It is something we receive rather than something we do. The source of joy is God: 'You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound' (Psalm 4:7, NIV). Jesus emphasized this Source of our joy when He said, 'I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete' (John 15:11, NIV). We cannot simply command, 'Be joyful!' Instead, joy is the by-product of a growing relationship between God and us. If we want joy, we must root ourselves in the Godhead. We must increase our worship of the Father, identify more the presence of Christ in our everyday living and become increasingly obedient to the Holy Spirit: 'The fruit of the Spirit is ... joy' (Galatians 5:22, NIV). So today, when joy is missing, I don't practice my spiritual smile in the morning mirror. I don't attempt to dazzle the grocery clerk with a dose of megawatt brightness. Instead, I pray, read Scripture and meditate -- pushing the roots of my fruit-bearing self deeper into spiritual soil. Then suddenly, while doing dishes, working against deadlines or grieving over the mystery of misery in the world, joy inhabits me, singing its own child-tune, kicking its glad heels against my heart. Unexpected, unbidden -- but a welcome gift -- joy is there!" (Karen Burton Mains)

Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES)
A spectroscopic technique which measures the kinetic energy of electrons emitted upon the ionization of a substance by high energy monochromatic photons. A photoelectron spectrum is a plot of the number of electrons emitted versus their kinetic energy. The spectrum consists of bands due to transitions from the ground state of an atom or molecular entity to the ground and excited states of the corresponding radical cation. Approximate interpretations are usually based on ‘Koopmans theorem’ and yield orbital energies. PES and UPS (UV photoelectron spectroscopy) refer to the spectroscopy using vacuum ultraviolet sources, while ESCA (electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis) and XPS use X-ray sources.
