Happiness

Live in the moment, be happy.

A Scout is Thrifty

Fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.

Mercy

I man had a heard of cows, and he gave one of the calves to his son.  One night there was a storm, and the next day his son went to look for his calf.  He couldn't find his calf in the heard, but he found that the storm had blown down the fence; and then he noticed the neighbor to the south had branded his cows that morning, and the boys calf and its mother had wandered into the neighbor heard in the night and now wore the neighbors brand on their side.

The boy went to his father and explained what he had found.

The wise father said, we have 2 choices:

1.  We can go to the neighbor, and try to explain what happened, and try to get the cows back, it would be his word against ours, and would defiantly cause strife between us for years to come.

2.  We can not mention it to him, I can give you the next calf we get, and we can keep the relationship we have with the neighbor.

The son thought for a min. and then said they should do #2.

In doing so, the neighbor never knew about the mistake, but the young boy will never forget the lesson learned.  And hundreds have been in awe at the Christ like mercy extend by the faithful farmer to a neighbor who never knew he had done wrong.

Forgiveness

There is no true forgiveness without forgetting.

Savior

We must come to know the Savior as our mediator; when the debt comes due the Savior will step forward for those he knows, the mediator can only pay a debt for his friends... We do not want to hear the words "I know ye not"

True Love

Catastrophes will come and go but true love is one continual round.

I don't need to know everything.

I don't know everything; but I to know where to find it...

Being born is like a hen laying an egg. We are protected under the wing and kept nice and warm. Then we get Married is there hatching, and we come out of our shell and suddenly real life begins.

Paul Graham nailed it when he said

"...people who are great at something are not so much convinced of their own greatness as mystified at why everyone else seems so incompetent."

Psalms of Wyatt July 9, 2006

and still others for all Eternity.

I have not chosen for myself, but have only chosen to do the will of the Father.
