What I've Learned


1. Everything is not going to happen the way I planned it to happen.

2. No one can protect you from embarrasment, but you can learn how to deal with it in your own special way.

3. I'm not the same man I was twenty years ago... and I shouldn't be.

4. Absolutes are limiting and I hate limits (self-imposed ones especially)!

5. We've got two wars going on simultaneously, we still haven't caught Osama Bin Laden, and the Palestinian situation has gotten worse. I'd like to know how all the Neo Conservatives can honestly say that under them, foreign policy was better and that the U.S. is safer?

6. Is there a difference between sex and love? Well, you aren't always sure as to whether or not you're in love but when you're having sex, you're pretty sure of it!

7. It's not until you stand up and fight for something that you realize just who you really are!

8. Depression is a luxury, I'm glad I can't afford.

9. A lot of people around me were getting high and I never saw any percentage in it. That was money I could use to buy some nice clothes or good food. I'm glad I felt that way... I ended up better than a lot of people that were around me.

10. I don't think I've ever been overpaid. However, I have been underpaid a lot.

11. People who get the most respect are the ones who know how to give respect.

12. If you're going to worry, then don't bother to pray. If you're going to pray, then don't worry!

Young man, you have learned so much in your limited time on this planet. Perhaps you've spent time on another astral plane! What joy comes in the realization that prayer changes things, most importantly the one offerring prayer! Love you cousin.

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes anger seems so near to the surface of my life. An unwelcome word, the remembrance of a past hurt, a disappointment I had not expected can make my emotions swirl with the force of a small cyclone. Sometimes my heart feels hot, my nerves feel edgy, my mind feels like lit dynamite. And sometimes, I just turn silent, go inward, cut myself off from anything and anyone that could ease the throbbing inside. I hold on to my anger, as if to let it go would render the reason for my anger meaningless. I pray that your great love will burn away my anger and leave me settled in the cool breeze of your presence. Help me let go, not only of the anger, but of what made me angry in the first place. Let me breathe deep the wonder and peace of love. Amen.
