What I've Learned


1. Make your bed up in other peoples homes and you'll definitely be invited back!

2.I am my best when I stay away from other people's expectations.

3.My ego is like your friend's kid in the basement....best to keep him busy!

4.History depends on your point of view...

5. I asked my grandfather once..."If the lion is the king of the jungle, how come the man always cages him and wins?" My grandfather replied..."Because the lion isn't writing the story."

6.Never confuse perception with intelligence.

7.Utilize the path of least resistance first!

8.When somebody says to you that they're not that smart, they're actually saying the exact opposite.

9.Sometimes I think God is close to getting to the point where he says -"It's time to reboot!"

10. Life really is unfair sometimes!




Peace!

Wise words Keith! Numbers 4 and 5 have been made more clear to me since I started watching Oliver Stone's documentaries on WWI and II. Boy did the victors tell a convoluted story. And there was one Wallace --Henry--who might have made an truly historic difference in America had Franklin Roosevelt kept him as vice president after Wallace spoke out for equal rights for blacks and women. Yes, life just isn't fair!




KEEPING THE FAITH: RANDOM PRAYERS "ON THE DOWNLOAD"

DEAR GOD: My heart is heavy with my own failures. I try to excuse them and explain to myself why they occurred, because I want to be free from the feeling that I am unworthy and incapable of being all that I can be. But I find it easier to accept your forgiveness than to forgive myself. When I try to forgive myself, it seems I only remember and re-play my failures in my mind, and a sense of hopelessness floods over me. Help me to know that my past actions are a part of my growing humanity and that even when I fail to live up to what is your will for me, every single moment can be lived anew. Remind me that refusing to forgive myself only keeps me from experiencing that newness. Assure me of the truth that by casting “my sins into the depth of the sea”, you have freed me to discard them myself and live the next moment as if it were my first, for indeed it is. I ask this for the sake of your love. Amen.
