What I've Learned


1. Some folks hold grudges but, I don't. Life is just too short for that kind of thing.

2. We meet aliens everyday with a message for us. They come in the form of people with different opinions from ours.

3. I heard a B.B. King Song which went, "Nobody loves me but my mother and she could be jiving too!" which caused me to have one of my biggest and hardiest laughs. Talk about insecurity!

4. My grandmother told me, "You live and you learn, then you die and forget it all!" She had such wit and wisdom. I miss her.

5. I'd love to be twenty-five again. Oh okay, maybe twenty-nine!

6. Loyalty for some people is based purely on what's in it for them. Those are the folks you avoid.

7. Don't let making a living prevent you from living a life!

8. Passion is momentary; love is enduring.

9. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation.

10. Never say yes when you really mean no.

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.
