Mark Twain

 It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well have not lived at all, in which case you fail by default.

Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day, and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are.
Henry David Thoreau

A girl was visiting her friend, who had just acquired two new dogs, and she asked what their names were.

The friend responded by saying one was named Rolex and other one was named Timex.

The girl remarked, "Whoever heard of naming your dog something like that?"

"Hellooooo ...," answered the friend. "They're watch dogs!"

We all draw lines. For meat-eaters, their line is between pets and farm animals. They won’t eat dogs but they will eat pigs. My line is less complicated: I don’t eat animals.

Karl and Milly were lying in bed one night. Carl was falling asleep but Milly was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said, "You used to hold my hand when we were courting."

Wearily Karl reached across, held her hand for a second, and rolled over to try to fall asleep.

A few moments later she said, "Then you used to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he leaned across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled back down to sleep.

Thirty seconds later she said, "Then you used to bite my neck."

Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"To GET my teeth," he replied.

        In 1938 God fashioned my body in the womb of my mother with full knowledge of what it must endure throughout its sojourn.  I am now 72 and find that certain functions which could be relied upon to function perfectly now function as they will. All components have an expected serviceable lifetime.   Some are now being pushed for extra mileage.  As a result I experience discomfort, pain, annoyance and sometimes distress. I can choose to dwell on such things or can choose rather to think of my higher values.
       God has shed His Love into my heart along with wisdom, understanding, and clear reasoning. It has been my delight through the years to shed the light of His Love and understanding to all I encounter.  I desire to exude His love, mercy, and compassion to any I encounter whether they be human, bird, or even the smallest insect. So long as I am able to tender His mercy and compassion I wish to do so. If along the way I experience discomfort, pain, or annoyance in my own body, that is relatively of minor consequence.  My happiness is in being a bear of light and His Love, not in having a flawless body. My main prayer, as a light, is that He give me oil in my lamp to keep me burning. I trust Him to do so.
Harry Hebert

          A Stanford Medical research group advertised for participants in a study of obsessive-compulsive disorder. They were looking for therapy clients who had been diagnosed with this disorder. The response was gratifying; they got 300 responses the day after the ad came out. All from the same person.
