Good Morning Digital Neighbors! Off to more quotes from Ageless Wisdom, buckle up buttercup!
Quit saying you don’t have the time, and simply admit it’s not a priority. - J.S. Felts
Few things push my buttons faster than someone saying to myself or another who has done something creative or time consuming: "You have too much time on your hands." BITE ME!!! I mean - God bless you, you thoughtless bore. If you want to do it, you will find a way, if you don't you won't. It isn't much more complex than that. People make time for what they love - people, hobbies, projects for growth or personal development. Unless you are a slave, an actual one where people can order you around at the threat of punishment and death, you have the time, you just lack the will to do it. YOU LACK THE WILL. Once you can say that to yourself with honesty and maybe a smidge of humility, you can take charge of your will and change it for the better.
Actions express priorities. - Saying
I hear what you say, I really pay attention to what you do. Your words may concern me, but they can never really hurt me, few things can be ignored, mocked or laughed at more quickly than words. The thin skinned, small minded, obese egoists and slow thinking bleaters can't handle mockery, laughter or these days even questions. It is their actions - cancellation, personal destruction, constant harassment that matters. The action is one of compulsion or face destruction. Always subject to the choice of another - it is the dream of all Lefties. (Note I did not say Liberals - I'm sorry their adjacent to Lefties, but the Right has their poisonous extremes too.) They just aren't as common as the growing number of the Borgs on the Left. Long game playing matters in culture - and collectivist thinking almost always has numbers on its side.
The change of the word does not alter the matter. - St. Thomas More He probably needed thinking reassignment surgery. Happy Feast Sir Thomas - you had a spine, humor, and fearless clarity. Pray for us.

Sunrise in the Texas Hill Country
Today marks the three hundred and thirtieth birthday of the Frenchman François-Marie Arouet, better known by his nom de plume, Voltaire (1694-1778).
Born into a bourgeois family during the reign of Louis XIV, the “Sun King” (r. 1643-1715), Voltaire suffered tragedy at a young age when his mother died. Never close with his father or brother, Voltaire exhibited a rebellious attitude toward authority from his youth. His brilliant mind was fostered in the care of the Society of Jesus, who introduced him to the joys of literature and theater. Despite his later criticisms against the Church, Voltaire, throughout his life, fondly recalled his dedicated Jesuit teachers.
Although he spent time as a civil servant in the French embassy to the Hague, Voltaire’s main love was writing—an endeavor where he excelled in various genres, including poetry, which led to his appointment as the royal court poet for King Louis XV. Widely recognized as one of the greatest French writers, and even hyperbolically referred to by ...

Good Morning, Digital Neighbors, and Blessed Sunday to one and all!
Sundays are for gratitude, and few things impact our lives more than intentional gratitude. It is not enough to say you are blessed or that you are fortunate; the actual naming of our blessings plants them deep in the heart, transforming us as persons rather than leaving us with the bland “thankful for everything.”
Two years ago, I wrote this reflection on resentment and gratitude. In light of the celebration of our nation’s 250th anniversary, I think it’s worth revisiting. We can choose to be among those who are thankful for America or among those who find nothing but fault with it.
You cannot build a future based on resentments of the past. You cannot grow if you are mired in the injuries of yesterday. God and life do not call us to ignore such experiences, but He constantly calls us forward—to be more, to receive more, to live more. Heal those wounds and work through those injuries, but do not be defined by them, and do not try to ...
