I hold these truths to be self-evident…

*Sometimes saying nothing IS the last word.

*Praying is like flossing; we can’t always see it working, but we know it works.

*Climbing up on the rooftop to have lunch with a friend in the sunshine and watch the sailboats, instead of working on that deadline, is so worth it.

*God answers prayers in mysterious ways; have confidence in those ways even when you don’t understand them.

*You catch more flies with honey than vinegar; and even flies need friends.

*Dating someone who displays more indecision than Brett Favre trying to retire is not a good idea.

*Knowing thyself is imperative to living peacefully.

*Honesty is always, always, always, always, the best policy.

*Granting undeserved forgiveness is a humbling, beautiful path leading to the heart of Christ.

*When you get bit by a snake, you don’t bite it back; you suck out the poison.

*Old friends are invaluable, no matter how different you may be.

*The cream always comes to the top… eventually.

*Adversity that doesn’t kill you will indeed make you stronger.

*Acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

*The sweetness of the Lord’s grace can turn even the most bitter batch of lemons into delightful refreshment.

  2. haha, yes, yes i do! Thanks, Al! This is for you...
    Women are like apples... the best are at the top of the trees, ready to be picked by the men brave enough to climb to the top. And men are like a fine wine. They begin as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the snot out of them until they turn into something acceptable with which to have dinner.

  7. I think you meant to put this comment on the other post, but FYI, Michael McDonald sings it too, and I like his version best, so no pass needed, but thanks for the offer!
