My goal is not to educate you, but to inspire you to think and educate yourself. I will have failed as an instructor if you seek to measure yourself by my standards as opposed to measure yourself by your own. My goal is to guide, not indoctrinate.

Saith the Daughter … War
Women tend to make advancements in equality after every war, probably due to the decrease in the male population. So therefore, war must be an evil female plot to get ahead. – A Theory to Ponder in the Future, saith the daughter.
Let Your Light Shine
When you look around, overwhelmed by the negativity, sorrow, and despair of the world, feeling there is no positive to be found, remember the positive is inside of you. It may be your actions, your smile and your attitude that will brighten the world you live in for yourself and for the multitude nearby seeking a ray of hope. It may be through you that the Light will return, shine forth and brighten the day.
When we are the candle bearer, it can be hard to see the positive around us. Everything will look to be in shadows compared to our circle of light. We just have to pray that when we are down and gloomy, someone else will hold the candle and help us lighten our path.
Matthew 5:16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Psalms 18:28 For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
Psalms 27:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Capitalism or Feudalism?
Is a company (owner thru investors) responsible for the impact their company has on the community in which it resides? If so, would that negate the theory of capitalism and instead bring back the idea of feudalism?
Saith a Friend… Children
If you give a child a challenge and the support to meet it, he or she will rise. If you give a child a soft bed, he or she will take a nap, metaphorically speaking.

College Bound Again
It is official – on Aug 6, after 20 yrs of waiting, I will begin my Master’s Degree! While so much has changed since my graduation and with life throwing some wicked curve balls my way, I am still on the timetable I set all those years ago. I put the idea of family before self and I am being abundantly blessed for my decision.
Saith Me… Friends
What would I do without crazy friends? Laugh a lot less.
Fun Equals Pain
Today I discovered a new twist on the idea that “fun” equals “pain”.
Today’s fun – a two mile walk with two spurts of running added in because I felt too good to run just once.
While this was a major accomplishment for me, the feelings of joy diminished greatly a few hours later when to my agony, my right foot unceremoniously cramped.
Due to the morning’s joyful running, I am now denied another joy – walking barefoot around my house. While massage, and later ice, offered relief to my poor foot, only the wearing of shoes provides for limp free walking.
When I was young and much healthier than today, I would have bemoaned such an annoying injury. Today I have learned to celebrate my “battle wound” with ice cream and a good ole’ sappy movie.
Saith the Husband … Passive-Aggressive
Of course I use a passive-aggressive voice, I wouldn’t have any friends if I used an aggressive voice.
