 "You learn this -- that no situation in life that tests your patience is going to test just some of it."

Sunday Sermonette

I had this dream.  It was my memorial service, and a friend said, "He was a person of good intention and sincere regret unfairly judged by his actions," and I'm thinking, "Yes!" 

Thoughtful Tuesday

 "Most sinners know who their forgivers will be, and that, more than anything, is what makes it a sin."

Weekend Wildcard

 "One of the great frustrations of knowing history is having those who do not know history drag you back into it."

 

Wednesday Whimsy

 There's nothing like someone saying, "You're smarter than that" to make you wonder what other unfounded rumors might be circulating about you.

Thursday Thought

No matter how varied and complex our daily responsibilities, at the end of the day Mother Nature has just one question for us:  "What life did you nurture today?"

Sunday Sermonette

 What a treasure is a person of true self-esteem, who need not be humored or appeased,

  who does not see disagreement as a personal affront or agreement as a show of weakness, 

 who does not feel threatened by the honest aspirations of others,

         who does not mistake pride for honor, or prejudice for principle, or privilege for merit. 

 With such a person, conversation is possible; compromise is possible, and, dare we hope, even common civility is possible.
