    Sorry I've been away for quite some time. I'll see how this goes and take it from there.




    Sorrow looks back; worry looks around; faith looks up.


    Nothing is worth more than this day. Goethe


    We cannot change our past. We cannot change the fact that people will act a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10 percent what happens to me and 90 percent how I react to it. Charles Swindoll

    I smile easy. As for the quotes, it matters not who said it so long as there is either wisdom or something to make one smile or laugh.

    Oh T.Jeff Veal both parents were Sunday school teachers and dads cousin was minister of congress; myself I just try to help those in real need and teach those I’ve raised to be better than I.

    Kites rise highest against the wind; not with it. -- Sir Winston Churchill –


    You can’t raise a man by tearing him down.


    You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. Plato

    Yes, ole Ben seemed to be a wise man. No wonder his picture shows up so often. I occasionally keep one of his pictures in my wallet.
