There is an orderly sequence of events in the shaping of our lives.
As I think, I make choices. As I make choices, I form habits.
As I form habits, I fix the direction of my life.
So, if I am to live differently, I must form new habits.
If I am to form new habits, I must make new choices.

George Burns a comedian from another generation once sang a song titled
I wish I was 18 again
At a restaurant in Dallas an old man chimed in,
And I thought he was out of his head.
Just being a young man I just laughed it off
When I heard what that old man had said.
He said I’ll never again

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN EMS
I delivered a baby on the ambulance stretcher
I baptized a newborn who’s life ended before it began.
I hugged a frightened child.
I was kissed by an intoxicated old man.
I held the hand of a teenage girl while she delivered a 3 pound baby.
I listened to the mournful

An anonymous friar, looking back on his life during his latter years, declared, ’If I had my life to live over again, I would try to make more mistakes next time. I’d relax, I’d limber up, and I’d be sillier than I’ve been on this trip. I’d take more trips. I’d be crazier:
I’d climb more

ADMITTING YOUR WEAKNESSES
When I got out of college I went to many interviews but I didn’t get a ministry! I was talking to one of my professors about this, and I admitted that I did not do well at interviews. He said just admit this at your next interview!

GCF: After-Thanksgiving Poem
I ate too much turkey, I ate too much corn,
I ate too much pudding and pie.
I’m stuffed up with muffins and too much stuffin’
I’m probably going to die.
I piled up my plate and I ate and I ate.
But I wish I had known when to stop,
For I’m so crammed with yams, sauces,
