wisdom
over the years i've come across some kernels of wisdom. some as simple as "never pet a burning dog", some as complex as "do not calculate the possible amount of poultry until the process of incubation has fully completed". there are a few that have really impacted my life, and by which i try to live. here they are, in no specific order...
never take counsel in your fears.
eat the elephant one bite at a time.
respond from the heart.
be equal.
no man is an island.
no man lives unto himself.
hope is the seedbed of faith.
when everyone else is the problem it's time to look within.
forgiveness frees more than the offender.
if you run you have to keep running, but if you face it you only have to face it once.
and finally, my favorite welsh proverb...
when my life was thrifty thrifty
my one sheep soon grew to fifty
after that i lived for fun
and found my flock was back to one
anyone else want to share favorites?

There is a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot
and last but not least:
Can't have it all.
(Where would you put it?)
Where's the lie?
The hard thing is usually the right thing and when you do the hard thing, God will bless it.
You will never regret doing your best.
Choose love.
When dealing with friends, never confront, always share your heart.
