About Me

"If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples." -John 15:7-8
Some quotes cleverer than my own:
Quotation is a serviceable substitute for wit.
If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously. If you pretend to be bad, it doesn't. Such is the astounding stupidity of optimism.
In modern life nothing produces such an effect as a good platitude. It makes the whole world kin.
The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast.
It is absurd to divide people into good and bad. People are either charming or tedious.
There is no sin except stupidity.
We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars.
Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
-Oscar Wilde

Inspiration Central

Clearly, the blogging bug has bitten me once again, and again I return to a blank page staring at me, waiting for me to pour forth wisdom and witticisms in the vain hope that someone will read it and ...

Things I’ve Learned Today

Just cause I'm feeling introspective and contemplative (and redundant), here is a list of things I've learned today: 1.  I can plug my vacuum into the outlet in the middle of my living room and v...
