Let There Be Peace On Earth…

and let it begin with me!

 

"War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today."

Who Wrote Or Said This Quote?

Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely and in a well preserved body but, rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, ‘Wow, what a ride!’

Lyrics Are Life

Today while driving home from work I heard three songs…all of them got me singing along and all of a sudden a verse in each song jumped out at me and seemed to stick in my head.

 

"And you can’t fight the tears that ain’t coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you’re alive"

~Iris by The GooGoo Dolls~

 

Momma always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun
But momma that’s where the fun is
the calliope crashed to the ground.

Cause she was
blinded by the light…

~Blinded By The Light by Manfred Mann~

 

"Don’t say words you’re gonna regret
Don’t let the fire rush to your head
I’ve heard the accusaation before
And I ain’t gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing"

~Eye In The Sky by Alan Parsons Project~

 

These words that other people have written seemed to reflect what I’ve been feeling lately.  It just goes to show, the human experience is very similar for all of us.  We all suffer at times and some of us become creative in our pain while others wallow and fade away.  Who hasn’t followed the lies into the light?  But how many of us return unblemished? unscorched? I believe one of the best tans I ever got is the one I have now. 

To My Judges

I posted this quote once before, but felt the need to post it again.  I think all people who sit in judgment of others should give this quote a thought or two today.  I may be wicked in my ways, but according to God, He loves me just as much as He does any of His other children. Remember He gave His son to all of us and His blood was to wash away the sins of the world? That includes wicked people like me because the last time I checked I was still a member of the human race!

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

~Mohandas Gandhi~

Do You Pray?

But who prays for Satan? Who, in eighteen centuries, has had the common humanity to pray for the one sinner that needed it most?

~Mark Twain~

Wisdom

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

~Confucius~

Which Are You?

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why… I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

~Robert F. Kennedy~

Growing Old Is Optional

The metamorphosis from hot to humorous

As the outer beauty fades the inner beauty shines!

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.
~ Benjamin Franklin ~

Aging Is Inevitable

Let’s Compare!

2005 and 1972

Is this the same person?

If wrinkles must be written upon our brows, let them not be written upon the heart. The spirit should never grow old.
~ James A. Garfield ~

For The Men

A little small town drama:

"Do you think God knew what He was doing when He created woman? Huh? No shit. I really wanna know. Or do you think it was another one of His minor mistakes like tidal waves, earthquakes, floods? You think women are like that? What’s the matter? You don’t think God makes mistakes? Of course He does. We all make mistakes. Of course, when we make mistakes they call it evil. When GOD makes mistakes, they call it… nature. So whaddya think? Women… a mistake… or did he do it to us on purpose? Because I really wanna know. Because if it’s a mistake, maybe we could do something about it. Find a cure! Invent a vaccine! Build up our immune system! Get a little exercise. You know 20 push-ups a day and you never have to be afflicted with women, ever again!"

Got it figured out? Now tell me which femme fatale’s wrath you’d like to feel?
