there is a person born 

who is so unlucky 

that he runs into accidents 

which started to happen 

to somebody else.”

RIGHT  AND  WRONG 

I’m right and you’re wrong….

At least that’s the way it looks to me….

If I was wrong, do you think

I would insist that I’m right?

Of course not.

Of course I assume you think you’re right.

Therefore, let’s switch positions

and argue for the other’s opinion.

It’s then I’m convinced you’re realize

I’m right and you’re wrong.

Right?

What?

MUD

Mud is a dirty word.

No one names their kid, “Mud!”

Mud is ugly.

It makes the water cloudy,

so cloudy you can’t see what’s underneath.

So I ask: Is it any wonder

that God made us from the mud of the earth?

Thought for today: 

“When God lets me into  heaven, I think I’ll ask to go off in a corner somewhere for half an hour and sit down and cry because the strain is off, the work is done, and I haven’t been unfaithful or disloyal, all these needs that I have known are in the hands of Providence and I don’t have to worry any longer who’s at the door, whose breadbox is empty, whose baby is sick, whose house is shaken and discouraged, and whose children can’t read.”
