Thought for today: 

“Life is a foreign  language; all men mispronounce it.”

IF ALL WERE BLIND


If all were blind,  what would life be like?

Would marriages  be better?

Would prejudices take on newer forms?

Would fat people have different inner self-talk?

Would theology or God-talk be different?

What would wars be like?

If all were blind, what would life be like?

YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET
 WHAT YOU WANT!


You can’t always get 
what you want - but 
it's better to keep trying. 

Sometimes the menu 
doesn’t have what 
it says it has…. 

Sometimes the other person 
just doesn’t do what you 
thought they were going to do. 

Sometimes today doesn't 
turn out the way you thought 
today would turn out. 

But sometimes it does, so 
how are you doing with the way 
your day is going so far?

Thought for today: 

“There was so  much  handwriting on the wall /  That even the wall fell down.”

JETTY

The stone black granite jetty
screamed, “Oh no, not again!”

Yes, again and again, the
ocean waves kept coming….

“You’d think I’d get a break
now and then. Oh no never.”

“And people come here day
after day - to feel, to see,  to pray …..

“But nobody thinks of me -
just wave after wave after wave.

“Well,” said the jetty, “it’s better
being rock than being sand …..

“But that’s slowly happening with
crashing wave after wave after wave….

Thought for today: 
“Do not use  a  hatchet to remove a fly 
from your friend’s forehead.”
