Robert Fulghum writes, “All I really need to know about how to live and what to do and how to be I learned in kindergarten. Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School. These are the things I learned:

I can imagine this conversation in Heaven
It starts with me
Lord, I have sinned, I have done this awful thing and I pray for you to forgive me
As I pray God is listening and He says
Look at that filth, he disgusts me
His life is full of sin makes me want to puke
How dare he approach my holy throne

JOY IN THE MIDST OF ROUGH WATERS
I’ve spent a fair bit of time in recent weeks doing funeral pre-planning for my parents. Making decisions about final disposition of the remains of people you have loved all your life is not any fun at all. It can be overwhelmingly sad.
After spending hours with

Longfellow could take a once cent sheet of paper, write a poem on it, and make it worth thousands- that is genius- not many of us have it. Rockefeller could sign his name to a small piece of paper and make it worth millions- that is called capital- and some of us do not have much of it. The U.S.
