It’s about Moderation
We could all do with a reminder that it is not eating that is a sin, but gluttony. Not one beer but many that make you drunk. It’s not saving as much money as you can but greed that is dangerous. Moderation in all things, humans. Make it your life rule.

Waiting
Sometimes you have to wait. Waiting is not fun if you think it’s not fun. It’s all in your head. Patience can be fun if you set your mind to it. Now once you figure that out, let me know how you did it. I am not patient at all.

What’s that?

Labor and Rest
Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28 Your day off may involve a bbq, friends over for a party or one last day of vacation.

Be Seen and Not Heard
I was told as a child to be seen and not heard. Not because I was a girl, but rather because I was a child. I failed a lot. When I did succeed, I discovered a secret. By being quiet you notice what other humans often do not see when their mouth is running off … Continue reading Be Seen and Not Heard
