Life is not a destination. Life is a road we travel. I am grateful to be on this imperfect spiritual journey. From a sailor's sea bag comes experience, strength and hope, along with some flotsam and jetsam.
The life of a Christian is nothing but a perpetual struggle against self; there is no flowering of the soul to the beauty of its perfection except at the price of pain."
St. Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One day at a time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our sails.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~We surrender to win;
we give away to keep;
we suffer to get well;
we die to live.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Know God;
Know Peace
No God;
No Peace
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Learn to listen;
Listen to learn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rule #62:
Do not take my life or myself too damn seriously.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Resentment is like acid, eating away at the vessel it is stored in.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity is not the absensce of conflict, but the abiltiy to cope with it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pray is neither black magic or is it a form of demand note.
Prayer is a relationship.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lord, take me where you want me to go;
let me meet who you want me to meet;
tell me what you want me to say
and keep me out of your way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The problems in my life are not the situations and conditions that I encounter.
It is how I either respond or react to those situations and conditions that transforms them into problems for me.
