Judge Not... - 03/29/10 10:34 PM
INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "Whoever gossips to you will gossip of you." - Spanish Proverb JUDGE NOT . . .
You know the type - there's a gossip in everyone's life. It may be a friend, an acquaintance, or a total stranger. Regardless, it is the person who shares with you any amount of information about another, either about what they have accomplished, or more often, what they have not.
Why does a gossip perform his or her service so readily? Self-aggrandizement is often the culprit. Knowing such valuable information about another as to be able to share it, reasons … (4 comments)

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "The path you're on looks different when you turn around." - Cynthia Copeland Lewis LOOK BACK TO THE FUTURE!

INSPIRATION FOR TODAY: "It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do." ~ Elbert Hubbard THROW AWAY THE BAND-AIDS!

YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!
Walk into a totally dark room. What do you see? "Absolutely nothing," you say. Now, turn on the light. Where did the darkness go? Really - where is it now? Hopefully you will agree that darkness cannot exist in the face of light.
