Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life, but define yourself. Harvey S. Firestone

The people with whom you work reflect your own attitude. If you are suspicious, unfriendly and condescending, you will find these unlovely traits echoed all about you. But if you are on your best behavior, you will bring out the best in persons with whom you are going to spend most of your waking hours.

Some people get spiritual because they see the light and some people get spiritual because they feel the heat!

How do you know if you're truly a servant? See how you react the next time someone treats you like one.

From The Corner Of My Mind

* It's going to be another beautiful day.
* Happy Cinco de Mayo  day!
* Wonderful lesson last night at out Life Group study. Just how creative can I be?
* W-spouse and I need to start eating better. Don't we all?
* If you missed Donalds comment in response to the QOTD yesterday, here it is:

((After initially positing, on my blog, that methaphorically hoisting the head on a pike was not necessary because it's no longer the 12th century, I am moving in the direction of at least releasing some image of the departed OBL.

Not so much in an act of celebration, though I believe we have the right to if we wish;

and not to prove that he's dead (for the already mentioned reasons that anything can be photoshopped these days).

I think that it's important for us to maintain a link to reality - the reality in this case being that OBL was required to pay the price for his wickedness. Not a sanitized version that 'he was eliminated', but a truthful view of the dead OBL, to underscore the point.

As one who believes that some crimes are so heinous (as OBL's were) that only death will suffice as punishment, my view is that it's our solemn duty to make the viewing available, not in circus fashion, but to provide a visceral connection to the reality of the situation.))

I think  that was well spoken and well thought out indeed!
Jar, I thought yours was also, but they usually are when your not trying to be a smarta**.
* My sister and B-law came through last night and spent the night at their lakehouse. They left really early this morning enroute to Iowa. Their house in the Woodlands is packed up and empty. A new chapter in their life has begun. They are closing on their house in Iowa on Friday. We are hoping and praying the best for them.
* I saw a huge snake yesterday. No I didn't kill it.
* What's up with this?
* Time to go to work, see ya Around The Corner!
