What I've Learned
1. People Basically Believe That which agrees with their cultural upbringing.
2. The Hardest thing to do is get someone to accept a new idea that doesn't line up with what they've been taught all of their lives.
3.I don't have many vices anymore.
4. Getting older teaches you to eliminate your vices and cut down on your debauchery.
5.Sooner or later the debauchery and vice of your youth catches up with you.
6.People will never fail to surprise you!
7.Morning Hours are usually the best for me!
8.I'm comfortable around women...They inspire a curiosity in me that is just contagious.
9.I'm Happiest when I'm occupied with something.
10.I retired from the U.S. Air Force at the age of 48....But there isn't a day I don't miss the roar of a plane on the tarmac or the comraderie and the excitement of deploying somewhere...
Peace!

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.
