    However many holy words you read, however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

    The only real failure in life is to not be true to the best one knows.

    Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.

    Never does a wise man commit a sin for the sake of his happiness. Never will he discard morality, even though he may suffer and meet with a failure.

    Words have the power to both destroy and heal. When words are both true and kind, they can change our world.

    On life's journey Faith is nourishment,
    Virtuous deeds are a shelter,
    Wisdom is the light by day and Right mindfulness is the protection by night.
    If a man lives a pure life nothing can destroy him;
    If he has conquered greed nothing can limit his freedom.

    One of his students asked Buddha, "Are you the messiah?"
    "No", answered Buddha.
    "Then are you a healer?"
    "No", Buddha replied.
    "Then are you a teacher?" the student persisted.
    "No, I am not a teacher."
    "Then what are you?" asked the student, exasperated.
    "I am awake", Buddha replied.

    Mark 10:21-22 Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, "You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me."

    Luke 14:12-14 He said also to the one who had invited him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, in case they may invite you in return, and you would be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind. And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you (I take this as saying you shouldn't do good deeds for expected rewards)

    If anyone says, I love God, but hates the brothers or sisters, he is a liar...Whoever loves God must also love the brothers and sisters. I John 3:20, 21 (I'm looking at you, certain groups of people...)

    What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul.

    The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For out of the overflow of his heart his mouth speaks.


    I take no credit for the above quotes.

    I've posted this before....

    I had a crazy uncle that was on his deathbed a long time ago,
    he said "Boy, there's a hundred things in life every man needs to know to
    survive ... and here's 39 of 'em."

    a virgin don't never drive a z-28
    never bet the ranch on your prostate
    if it's got an adam's apple it's probley a man
    never trust a gay gypsy with the palm of your hand

    she didn't accidently get good in bed
    you can't join a church if your already dead
    a work uniform ain't totally nude
    brim and bass ain't seafood

    when there's guns in the house one better be yours
    don't be naked next to any fishin' lures
    if there's girl scout cookies she's a little too young
    if you say I do... be the ugly one

    don't ever let a bald man borry your comb
    never play strip poker in a nursin' home
    don't blame your pall bearers cuz they don't show
    if your buried in the middle of the super bowl

    let people borry money they'll leave you alone
    never fry bacon without a shirt on
    never spray water on a hornet's nest
    a woman rarely aces the driver's test

    the sign probly don't really mean massage
    never threaten anybody in camoflauge
    say you love her 'til she lays down the butcher knife
    never put the move on the boss' wife

    she's messin' round on ya if yer briefs don't fit
    never trust a hitch-hiker to babysit
    Cosmo's never in a happy home
    you can't cut a deal with a kidney stone

    a politician ain't got an HMO
    washin' her hair means she don't wanna go
    don't ridicule a biker 'bout his tattoo
    you been married nine times... hell maybe it's you

    Doom ain't the same as Donkey Kong
    if he's wearing high heels you mighta raised him wrong
    the clinic ain't the best place to pick up dates
    don't rent a room from a man named Bates

    a tank tops never on a billionaire
    Stevie Ray Vaughn missed a note here and there
    how many get to heaven no one knows
    but hell will be asses and elbows​


    And then he died... crazy fool rolled over and DIED! And never did tell me
    what them other 61 things were... so if anybody out there knows... how
    'bout gettin' ahold of me at Tim Wilson dot net.
