What I've Learned


1. Every barber I've ever had has been bald!

2. You can't be happy without ever being unhappy. How would you know the difference?

3. I've always liked my name... it was simple and easy to remember. It serves me well in social situations.

4. People who have money always say that it's not important. I've never heard a poor person say that money wasn't important!

5. I never learned anything when I was talking, only when I was listening!

6. My mother always said that "you catch more flies with honey than vinegar". I didn't understand that clearly until I was about 40 years old... that was around the time I mellowed some.

7. It's not the fall that kills you... it's that sudden stop. I've fallen from grace many times, but I've never stopped. At some point, I headed back towards the top of the heap!

8. I grew a moustache when I was 19 years so I could look older and get into bars/clubs and I've had it ever since... even though it has outlived it's usefulness!

9. A good marriage is loving someone in a lot of different circumstances.

10. Love is huge!

KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: Sometimes it is so hard to wait. To wait for new things to happen in my life. To wait for you to answer my prayers. To wait for the open doors that may lead me into a new way of being. During the time of waiting, it seems that all I can think of is having what it is I am waiting for. At times I feel weary of asking and waiting, and I wonder if you really hear my prayers at all, if you are ignoring me, or if you are simply refusing to give me my heart’s desire. A part of me knows that you want my best, and that your time is not my time, but Lord, it is still so hard to wait. Deepen my trust, O Lord, during the times when my heart longs for what can only come in the fullness of time. Give me a calm assurance that your will for me is grander than anything I could ever imagine. Still my mind and heart in your love so that I am mindful of the grace you are draping around me every single day, every single moment. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
