Rich man’s war
Poor man’s fight

Confederate Soldier

Charlie Brown is insecurity itself. He cannot fly a kite, his baseball team never wins, he receives no valentines on Valentine’s Day, and he gets rocks instead of candy on Halloween. The things we fear will happen to us are the types of things that do happen to Charlie Brown.

So understand
Don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up, make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years

Iron Maiden

I change bad memories into good memories because I have that power.

Gary Busey

“Yes, I do. But trying is not much.”

“Yes, it is—a very great deal, for it is a beginning. And a beginning is the greatest thing of all. To try to be brave is to be brave. The coward who tries to be brave is before the man who is brave because he is made so, and never had to try.”

At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald

…and felt braver all her life after.

George MacDonald

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

In Oct of 1998 I purchased a copy of Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton.  I am ever so happy to announce that I finished reading it today on the bus.   It took me 13 years to get past chapter 2.
